What do Ann Coulter, Newt Gingrich, and Pat Buchanan have in common? The answer is easy if you go to the web site “Human Events; Powerful Conservative Voices.” Cathy Taylor is the Editor of Human Events, which is the oldest conservative weekly in the nation. The web site features columnists such as Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Thomas Sowell, and Walter Williams. This home for the far right has buttons to click at the top of the home page for Ann Coulter, Newt Gingrich, and Pat Buchanan. Obviously they are promoting Newt Gingrich for president, since he is the only candidate to rate a separate link featuring select articles on Gingrich.

I was drawn to this site due to an article giving credit to Sarah Palin for Newt’s success in South Carolina. Tony Lee (who appears to be one of those Asians that Palin is uncomfortable around)

is the author of an Human Events article on Palin’s influence in South Carolina.Lee coins the term “Teavangelicals” to describe the majority of the South Carolina electorate and describes them as “fierce fiscal and social conservatives.” You and I might describe them in a less complimentary way. Lee points out that 64% of those voting in the South Carolina primary, both identify themselves as “Born-Again” or “Evangelical Christians,” and support the Tea Party. While Lee also declares that the “Republican party is becoming more like South Carolina than New Hampshire” he doesn’t cite any basis for that conclusion. He identifies Sarah Palin as the leader whose judgment “Teavangelicals may trust the most.”

Palin demanded that Romney prove that he indeed created jobs in the U.S. while at Bain Capital. Palin called upon Romney to produce his tax returns. Lee gives Palin credit for not allowing Romney’s history of job creation (or lack thereof) and his wealth to be forgotten. As a final push for Gingrich, Lee identifies the importance of the fact that Palin then appeared on Fox suggesting that she would vote for Gingrich if she were a resident of South Carolina. Thus Lee feels Palin has “considerable clout” in the selection of the GOP nominee.

While many tend to trivialize the impact of Sarah Palin, the Half-Term Ex-Governor who is a grandma to two grandchildren conceived out of wedlock, the wife of an alleged peeping-tom and a man who hangs out with hookers, we should never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups,

especially when Sarah Palin is part of the group.

It’s been three years since Sarah Palin gave interviews to Katie Couric.

It’s been 2 ½ years since Sarah Palin was a politician.

It has been less than one year since Sarah proved just how clueless she is about American History.

Yet how easily people forget. People who champion the importance of faith and family, respect the very person who says she also champions faith and family, but repeatedly proves that faith and family are only important to her if they can be used by her to promote herself.
