Over the last six months I’ve really enjoyed using Twitter. At first I didn’t see a real use for the platform, but now I’m not sure I can live without it. For breaking news and politics Twitter is essential. There is also a lot of riff raff to deal with. This really isn’t a indictment of “progressives” because I’m one person and I can’t really generalize a whole ideology based on a few bad apples, but lately I’ve run into some really partisan hacks.
Now on to the tweet of the day. As I mentioned a few days ago @top20reos has been a real joy to read the past few days. I pointed this fact out today and someone rallied to his defense. After a few exchanges (none, of which were logical) here’s the classic tweet from @ilovemytroops.
Actually, I don’t know who exactly I was talking to, but if her website is any indication it wasn’t anyone who was well respected. The liberal condescension here is amazing. I’m a fool and inferior? I tried four or five times to get a direct answer from this person, but all I got was random name calling and comments about Sarah Palin. What is it about Sarah Palin that is driving some of those on the left to derangement. I just don’t get it.
You have challenged me to really think about why I dislike Palin so much. I hope the following link will give you a better understanding of why people like me dislike her so much. I can’t speak for everyone, but this best describes a large portion of my dissent. Let me know what you think!

What troubles me about the idea that “It felt like another case of the pretty girl getting the promotion” is that the left embraced Obama. The current President of the United States is completely unqualified. Let’s face it, if his father wasn’t from Kenya he would have never gotten elected. If I would have run with the same qualifications, with the same talents, I would have never gotten elected.
Labeling Palin as ignorant after a “gotcha interview” is just another form of liberal condescension. Obama gave one good speech during the 2004 DNC and has received nothing but puff pieces ever since.
