While she rails against the media for their coverage of her rambling, incoherent resignation speech, poor Sarah claims she's all about national security and smaller government. But those two things are not only false, they're diametrically opposed.
By creating an agency that consumes hundreds of billions of dollars (DHS) with broad, sweeping, and perhaps even unconstitutional powers, government has become much larger, more byzantine, less responsive and less accountable. The only goal of DHS is to create more fear and paranoia so that Americans willingly give up more and more of their freedoms and privacy.
Palin and her Wingnut followers all suffer from fantastical delusion syndrome, for which there is no known cure. The only safe thing we can do is lock them up in a mental institution. That's what someone should have done to Palin a long time ago.
So while poor, poor, misunderstood Sarah laments that the rest of America will never understand her, we must lament the fact that Sarah doesn't understand that the world doesn't revolve around her and her Wingnut friends.
