Janet Albrechtsen, WSJ:
For left-leaning elites outside the United States, the nomination of Sarah Palin as the Republican vice presidential candidate is a case of “only in America” — a sneering phrase foreigners use to explain a weird or distasteful American phenomenon. For them, the emergence of a small-town conservative Christian woman with a large family and a beehive hairdo, who talks about the small-town American values of faith, family and love of country, is the equivalent of crass American television. Mrs. Palin, with “her churchgoer’s smile” and her hillbilly family with their hillbilly names, was a “soap opera . . . too implausible even for day-time television” wrote Anne Davies in the Sydney Morning Herald. “A race that began as the ‘West Wing’ now looks alarmingly like ‘Desperate Housewives,'” said Jonathan Freedland in Britain’s Guardian newspaper.
If one needed a primer on why a certain class of elites outside the U.S. will always detest the political, cultural and social undercurrents flowing through the heart of middle America, the emergence of the gun-toting, pro-life Mrs. Palin has provided it. With tedious predictability, a steady undercurrent of anti-Americanism explains why foreign liberals detest Mrs. Palin. Her rising popularity across America has rudely confirmed that not all Americans care about the preferred presidential pick of the international left-liberal community. Barack Obama is their anti-American dream candidate, a man who is part of their project to bring America, the great Satan, to heel. After all, he never spoke about the possibility of victory in Iraq. Only American withdrawal and defeat. And thus America’s humiliation. Both Mrs. Palin’s beliefs and her evident popularity cast doubts on whether Americans are really on board with this overseas vision for America’s future.
[…]
To be sure, much of the hysteria from the left wing in Australia mirrors the leftist frenzy within the U.S. Mrs. Palin was always going to upset the global sisterhood for not being the right kind of careerist woman. She is a happy feminist who doesn’t moan about female victimhood. She loves to shoot moose but is not a fan of aborting babies. That you should be opposed to hunting animals but in favor of abortion on demand is an international article of the feminist faith.
Similarly, left-wing media pundits outside the U.S. were always going to parrot the class-driven condescension of her attackers at home. A self-declared “hockey mom” educated at a no-name university, a former beauty queen who used to broadcast the local sports news surely cannot aspire to be vice president. The provincial Mrs. Palin is the perfect proxy-without-borders for the universal disdain metropolitan elites harbor toward those allegedly less sophisticated than themselves.
Blinded by their anti-American prejudices, progressives outside the U.S. mistakenly treat Mrs. Palin as a country hick who has simply roused evangelicals and gun-loving and hunting Republicans. They miss the significance of her nomination. The Governor from Alaska is attracting so much positive attention outside the beltway of American politics — and indeed 10,000 miles away, where ordinary Australians are cheering her on even as their elites pour scorn on her — because she is the real thing. She is a sassy, happy, straight-talking mother of five who has succeeded, not through affirmative action programs or family connections, but through sheer dint of hard work and conviction politics. If Australia’s left-wing elites don’t understand Mrs. Palin’s attraction to middle America it’s because they don’t or won’t ever understand middle America.
What the left elites in search of a new aristocracy sometimes forget is that America was created out of a desire to do away with the old aristocracy of classist England.
The left — both at home and abroad — while always prattling on about championing the little guy, seldom include the unwritten caveat to such support, specifically, provided the little guy shuts up, learns his place, and doesn’t try to crash any of our parties.
Trade offs, you see.

I seem to recall a war or something a bit more than 200 years ago when we told Europe it could “bugger off” as it were.
One of the first things I noticed, when the announcement of Palin’s selection was immediately met with a savage frenzy of hatred and lunacy from the Left, was that they were attacking Palin in the same terms that they had used to attack little Arkansas Paula Jones.
There’s some of that Palin Provincial Smugness! God and Family! Small-town values!
Fuck those small town hicks and their bigoted system of faith, family and love of country. As if we need some Wassillian hockey Mom heroine hick who thinks she’s a cultural icon for God’s hand of righteousness. As is we need her kind telling the rest of us that we don’t know about Family, Values and Hard Work! Not like she does! Fuck her, again.
What an elitist hollow c___! I’ll vote for Stalin himself over that bag of backwater bullshit.
Techie: “I seem to recall a war or something a bit more than 200 years ago when we told Europe it could “bugger off†as it were.”
Actually, it was the United Kingdom who we told to bugger off. The act of flipping Europe the bird required a series of struggles, including the undeclared naval conflict with the French following the Revolution, the conflict with the Barbary Pirates and the war of 1812 being just the foundation.
The problem is that Europe, as a problem, became too large to ignore, hence WWI and WWII.
Deja Vu, man.
I love it when the loopy left in Europa start telling us how or who to vote for, to go along with their usual non-stop barrage of good advice, which we consistently ignore.
It’s probably worth a couple of million votes.
Good for you, thor.
Time for your Thorazine.
More like attacked her like we attacked David Duke.
So Palin is now David Duke?
I thought she was a Muslim Fundamentalist?
She’s David Duke wearing Daisy Dukes!
You can say you heard that slogan on PW first! Just made it up!
Thor, don’t you have some puppies to stew or something?
Thor,
I think you might vote for Stalin over The One himself. Just a hunch.
– Yes, god bless the Euro-crass, they never give up.
– I agree wholeheartedly with her assessment with one additional caveat. Its not just the Lint of Europe that are in on this gig. “Hate America” has become the dish de jour for the Left right here in our midst.
– If any more evidence was needed the events of the past few days, hell the entire exploding heads reaction from the Left to the news of her nomination, leaves no doubt in anyones mind.
– As long as the elitists cannot get their noses out of their receding hairlines, and stop the displays of disdain for people they simply don’t understand, winning elections will continue to be problematical for them.
Thor has gone bye-bye, Ray. You got any ideas?
No dude, America was not created out of a desire for a classless society – that’s post-Victorian Marxist lingua!
We were a colony filled with people who had a desire not to be fucked over economically by an idiot King.
– Jess keep a’chewin on that Palin hand grenade thor-boi.
But we are told that we have to worry about whether any members of the patronized identity-group-du-jour can visualize themselves, or people that look like them in the halls of government. This is borne out by the left’s gushing over O!s candidacy simply because of it’s transformational nature…
“The world will finally know that there is justice in America if we elect a black man as President”
or
“Now millions of [insert identity group here] children will look at Barack and see that one day they too can actually be President
This is more phoney diversity and identity politics poppycock!
Whatever happened to Dr. King’s ideal of a color blind society?
I guess it wasn’t a useful image for America’s real revolutionaries !
No dude, America was not created out of a desire for a classless society – that’s post-Victorian Marxist lingua!
That ain’t what he said, dude. Try again.
Thor is clearly a Misogynist who also hates anyone that does not live in a city. Such tolerance and open-mindedness. Such values. Such class. Such intelligence.
It’s like the stupidest person on my 9th grade football team is allowed to comment ad nauseum. Truly makes me reconsider all of my positions. The power of persuasion and clear thinking and writing he brings to the table are without peer at the nearest kindergarten. swear words, insults, everything you could expect from someone who cannot engage in rational thought and debate.
And, thor admitting he would willing vote for stalin is not much of a revelation. The further to the left and the more authoritarian and willing to use the state to crush all dissent, the more likely thor would be to vote for him. Him b/c Thor hates women and would never vote for a women.
Thor, really, why do you hate women so much? And don’t tell me about your make-believe russian mail-order bride. Nobody here buys your lies. Is it b/c you are gay and hate women, or b/c you are simply so socially inept that you have developed a hatred for the “other”? Seriously, I’m curious why you are so filled with hate toward women and why you are so misogynist?
I actually am pretty convinced that thor has committed multiple rapes and likely has killed women. His hatred is that deep. When was the last time you raped a woman thor? Yesterday? When was the last time you beat a woman thor? Probably within the last week.
Did you see the bit in the Guardian yesterday that Europe would revolt if McCain is elected?
Thor is a misogynist
thor hates women
thor rapes women
thor beats women
That’s not how I read the Constitution, but hey, to each his own.
thor hate women. Why do you hate women thor? What makes you so angry at women?
This really is just the flip side of saying Baracky’s bag of fail is all cause of racism, simple as that, and whatever. Europeans get as enormous a kick out of wallowing in Katrina as NPR does, but they really don’t get what it means that Bobby Jindal is governor there now. Baracky’s bag of fail is their bag of fail, too, and they’ll never ever know it.
oh. Religious freedom was what founded America, mostly. It’s very simple. There’s still a Church of England to this very day. It’s devolved a lot to a perverted sort of thing no one really defends very enthusiastically, but the people who came here wouldn’t be very shocked to find out about it’s current state. They knew. Baracky thinks religion is a great catalyst for social justice. That’s why he went to that macabre hatey church for so long. He doesn’t get it at all.
oh. *its* current state. Anglicans. I imagine many of them drink quite heavily.
Well, yeah, Techie, that’s sort of the point.
…”Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Not that that “wretched refuse” was supposed to succeed, mind you — educated, cosmopolitan Europe, guided by its noble elites, would continue to lead and prosper, while we, the fools who rejected their wise leadership, would forever be bucolic peasants dependent upon the Mother Countries for anything more sophisticated than shit-shoveling.
It didn’t work out that way, and they will never, never, never forgive us for it.
Attention mcgruder: something you posted the other day, or perhaps last night, implied that you have at least partially bought into the Mooreonic Convergence, the notion spread by European elitists and American Europhiles that the reason for anti-Americanism is American foreign policy (details omitted). It’s a damnable, palpable, bald-faced lie from articles to verbs. Anti-Americanism follows directly upon American success, because that success — and our resulting ability to bail them out, twice, and take pennies on the dollar for it, and wait only for a chance to say “you’re welcome!” that never came — is a direct, in-your-face affront and challenge to their assumptions. They’re hicks! morons! rejectionists! They can’t possibly succeed! But “they”, we, did succeed, and it slashes their hearts to ribbons.
There is a directly parallel case. The Jews of the Diaspora, unwelcome and unloved, persecuted and despised, used that isolation and the few islands of tolerance they encountered to build the modern economic system. Banking, fractional reserves, letters of credit, and the other features we take for granted today allowed European Jews to build and preserve wealth even in the face of persecution and occasional episodes of outright robbery, and toward the end no Prince’s life was complete without two events: a major episode of Jew-bashing, and going to the Rotschilds with crown in hand, begging for a loan or subsidy. That, my friends, is the source of anti-Semitism; all that about religion is excuses. And in precisely the same way, anti-Americanism proceeds from American success, and the excuses are Euros lying to themselves about their jealousy and envy.

Ric
The yurp’s desire for Baracky’s success is echoed by Vlad “The Impaler” Putin, it would seem. I can’t think of a better non recommendation. Understandably, tHOR is all tingley legged with the prospect.
The Guardian‘s Jonathan Freedland is wonderfully smug and incoherent. On the one hand, the alleged popular will, as divined by Mr Freedland, should prevail (albeit in a fantasy scenario):
“If November 4 were a global ballot, Obama would win it handsomely. If the free world could choose its leader, it would be Barack Obama. The crowd of 200,000 that rallied to hear him in Berlin in July did so not only because of his charisma, but also because they know he, like the majority of the world’s population, opposed the Iraq war.â€Â
But on the other hand, what the actual electorate wants must be sneered at as vulgar and selfish:
“Until now, anti-Americanism has been exaggerated and much misunderstood: outside a leftist hardcore, it has mostly been anti-Bushism, opposition to this specific administration. But if McCain wins in November, that might well change. Suddenly Europeans and others will conclude that their dispute is with not only one ruling clique, but Americans themselves.â€Â
How dare the American electorate vote for their preferred candidate, one they perceive to best represent their interests? How dare they not see, as all good-hearted people must, through the eyes of an egalitarian-yet-superior Guardianista? And if the American electorate don’t do as we, the enlightened class, demand, then our vengeance will be righteous.
It’s pure essence of Guardian, really.
Reach for the wallet and grab the DNC-approved interstate victim card ™, thor. All purpose response.
Jeff’s response to one side, thor is completely ignorant of history. If thor had paid any attention at all to activities leading up to the Declaration of Independence, he’d have noticed something funny: many of the colonials wanted to be treated just like other Englishmen, to the extent that they had representation in Parliament. England, you see, had declared all of the colonies’ respective governments null and void, not that they’d had anything in the way of sway where it came to, for instance, tax law.
England could have kept control for a great deal longer, probably, had they simply granted the colonials the same rights and representation that residents in the mother country had.
There’s a good joke about this, the gist of which you can infer from the punch line:
“Look, mate, when the common man takes over, you’ll do as you’re bloody well told.”
– thor, put a sock in it. After watching your bowel movements of the mouth for months on end, there is nothing anyone else could say about you that you haven’t already proudly proclaimed yourself beyond any doubt.
– Like Bundy, at this point you have no reputation left to sully.
– If it was all just a play for attention, then boo-fucking-hoo.
I’ll vote for Stalin himself over that bag of backwater bullshit.
Did anyone ever doubt it? A show of hands?
“Suddenly Europeans and others will conclude that their dispute is with not only one ruling clique, but Americans themselves.”
– Oh I’m just so ready to be impressed by the words of our Eyro-trash masters.
– Right, A bunch of countries and people, most of whom, can’t even pay their own bills without our dole.
And if the American electorate don’t do as we, the enlightened class, demand, then our vengeance will be righteous.
Shorter Freedland (I love the irony of that surname): Vote for Obama or we’ll hate you for real this time!
Oh dear. I picture an infant futilely slapping daddy’s leg and yelling “Buy me that toy or I’ll HATE YOU!!”
It’s been voiced here in the US, too, Aldo. Some goofball southpaw in a Philly paper threatened race riots if Obama loses.
Thor,
I’ll vote for Stalin himself over that bag of backwater bullshit.
Uh, here’s a newsflash: Josef “The Boss” Stalin died in 1953. How long have you been in that spider hole of yours, anyway?
– Yes. To which I say if you’re that stupid BRIMG IT!
oh. *its* current state. Anglicans. I imagine many of them drink quite heavily.
You’re thinking of the Church of England alone, Hap. The Anglican Church is largely African now, with well over half of its Sunday-attending membership from that continent. And let me tell you, they are not happy with how the CoE, the Canadians and Episcopalians are running things.
I seem to recall a war or something a bit more than 200 years ago when we told Europe it could “bugger off†as it were.
To add to your statement: I seem to recall, seven years ago this very day, that many of the Great Unwashed, the unsophisticated rabble, were sending in aid to the people of New York City. I don’t think that the aid was refused, even if it did come from small-town people of whom too many in NYC treat with such disdain.
– Well bring it, but then as head-fucked as Obama’s followers are, “brimg it” might be more on target.
Some goofball southpaw in a Philly paper threatened race riots if Obama loses.
The only people who would riot for Obama are university students and their professors. I’d be more worried about a riot if I lived in Madison or Berkeley.
Nishi, will you riot if Obama loses?
She might begin writing coherently in protest.
I’m so in the Right on that one. It was as if I went Republican on his ass.
“I seem to recall, seven years ago this very day, that many of the Great Unwashed, the unsophisticated rabble, were sending in aid to the people of New York City. I don’t think that the aid was refused, even if it did come from small-town people of whom too many in NYC treat with such disdain.”
Frankly, I wonder if such aid would be as forthcoming if needed again, now that the peasants are learning just what them city folks think of them.
Frankly, I wonder if such aid would be as forthcoming if needed again, now that the peasants are learning just what them city folks think of them.
I would just have to tell myself that not all of it would be going to the type of thugs who run around with Obama stickers on their cars. I’m sure there are some normal, sane people in the Big Apple.
The funny thing is that the European/World Left is lying insofar as they represent that they would love the rubes if only they would vote for Gore/Kerry/Barack/Stalin. Hell, the people in Europe who write these things don’t even really like their own countrymen all that much.
I really don’t accept the notion that they are truly, objectively elite either – they just have the affect of being better than everyone who is normal. See, for example, the music recommendations and pandagon.
The bottom line is that it just galls the Left that there is a vast amount of the American population who haven’t dumped Christianity in the dustbin and can go for extended periods of time without wringing their hands over what a bunch of European socialists think of them.
The American Left is like the European aristocracy of years ago, in their view of the United States: the European aristocracy were marrying wealthy Americans in order to live the good life while, at the same time, looking down their noses at them.
One of you overseas readers — Silver Whistle? — there’s a great opportunity here. Go to Europe and sell Obama bumper stickers. You make a ton of dough. The American public gets pissed at Obama. Everyone wins.
I can tell you that there are country and small-town folk in other English-speaking countries who are similarly out-of-sync with their elite betters … or should I say, elites in other English-speaking countries who have inflated opinions of themselves …
and it is just as interesting to see the cognitive dissonance and apoplexy the elites in other countries are having as it is to see those in the US. We do indeed live in interesting times.
– thor, you’re not smart enough to be a Republican.
– Well, it looks like the Dimbulbs in Congress are finally caving on drilling. Apparently some of those assholes wanted to get re-elected after all.
– Pelosi is probably under her desk sobbing.
– Kim Il is mondo ill. Probably a vegetable from his stroke.
– Good times.
Kim Il is mondo ill. Probably a vegetable from his stroke.
Scotch and porno shares will take it on the chin, no doubt.
The classist elitism, in my opinion, is the real thing. The admiral’s son and grandson isn’t a classist elitist – the other guy is.

Sort of on topic and know by many here.
“For the first two years of the settlement, the colonists labored under an economic system that they called, “The Common Course and Condition.” This was a primitive and simple form of socialism. The family households commonly shared whatever products they could produce. If one family worked diligently, rising early, working hard until sundown, and produced a bumper crop, while his neighbor lay in bed until noon and produced little, they shared equally the sum of both. There was no incentive to work hard and apply one’s God-given talents and abilities. This system produced consistent shortages. There was never enough food for everyone. It also produced squabbles among the colonists. There was resentment and envyâ€â€predictable results in socialist economies. Fortunately, the colonists had elected a young, but wise and godly governor for the colonyâ€â€William Bradford. In 1623, Bradford recognized the failure the “Common Course.” Bradford would later write that this failed economic system “was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment.”
Bradford had a better plan. Each family would be given a piece of land based on the size of their family. Larger families received larger tracts. Each household was allowed to grow corn for their own families and to do with it what they wished. The results were phenomenal.
“This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other could use.”
While under the original system, the women of the colony had complained that they were “oppressed.” The Pilgrims experience proved that a biblically based economic system could provide liberty and a “family-friendly” means of production: “The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn.” Bradford had recognized that “the primary agency of economic planning is the family, as the primary owner of property.” Bradford realized that the family and ownership of the means of production were an unbeatable economic formula. This recognition caused the economy of the fledgling settlement to flourish and when 60 more settlers arrived in 1623, there was more than enough food for them as well. And despite continued challenges from Indians, pirates, and sometimes harsh weather conditions, the little colony prospered as God blessed their steadfast faithfulness.
