Palingenetic ultranationalism is a theory concerning generic fascism formulated by British political theorist Roger Griffin. The key elements are that fascism can be defined by its core myth, namely that of “national rebirth” — Palingenesis[img_assist|nid=13092|title=It’s time for a Palingenesis!|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=300|height=224][/quote]
Arraya: Actually, I kind of dig her in that pic!
Kidding aside, that was an interesting Wiki entry. You see some of that same foaming at the mouth Nativist/fascist nonsense in the more rabid elements of the Tea Party movement and it unfortunately taints the wider pool of those who are genuinely concerned (for good reason) about the state of affairs in this country and want a change.
Palin is simply doing and saying whatever she has to in order to make a buck, as evidenced by the six figure fee she commanded for her speech at the Nashville Tea Party soiree. Pathetically, her more perfervid minions believe she really means what she says, or that she even has a clue. This is government by talk radio, with Palin, Beck and Limbaugh at the helm.

Allan, *love* that word “perfervid”. My vocabulary has been ratcheted up a notch since I started following this blog.
I don’t know that I completely agree with you on Ms. Palin’s words and actions of late. I think that, foremost, she gets off on the response she gets from her followers, and she’s essentially spouting the same vitriol today that she was in the beginning of her political career. The unquestioning devotion from her fans has convinced her that she’s the Second Coming, so she just keeps repeating the same lines, with a steady dialing up of the heat. There’s no question that she’s out for as much money as she can get, but I believe that money is second to the blind worship she’s enjoying.
My biggest problem with Ms. Palin is not her lack of knowledge, but the fact that she appears to be totally deficient in intellectual curiosity. She won’t acknowledge that there is anything, much less many, many things, that she should know but doesn’t. And she just doesn’t give a damn. After all, she’s expressed that she believes she has a sacred calling to this mission. Who needs brains when you have God guiding your every move?
There are many women in the current political spectrum who are true conservatives, but are educated, experienced, and who are well-versed in the concept of critical thinking. The one thing that we don’t need are leaders with no working brain cells who shoot from the hip and talk tough.
You’re right, Allan: it IS government by talk radio. With the full endorsement of the American people. And, unfortunately, this wingnut rhetoric does taint the efforts of organizations who represent valid concerns. However, when leaders and organizations, on all sides, use vitriolic events and writings as endorsements for their views, or against the views of others, they are playing a dangerous game. Their original message becomes lost, and in the subsequent increase in the intensity of the fighting, our unity as citizens of one nation is seriously threatened.
