Is Sarah Palin the Republican Moses?

Polls show that more than half of the Republican party is looking to Sarah Palin as their leader. That's an indication of how intellectually bankrupt the party has become. True conservatism is a valid and necessary ideology for our society. It has an intellectual foundation created by some of the great thinkers of history. But, it has been corrupted by the neocons and George Bush and turned into a mere elaboration of the 60's bumper sticker that said, "America! Love it or Leave It."

It's a good thing that Rove didn't create his permanent majority, but in some ways, a permanent Democratic majority could be undesirable as well. We need the intelligent checks and balances that were designed into the constitution.

The Democrats shouldn't start dancing on the Republicans grave yet. A creepy hand could come up and grab them.
