Palin for President

Who could say NO to somebody with the audacity and vision to restructure the US strategic allies in this dramatic a fashion:

Transcript snip from Glenn Beck's radio show:

CO-HOST: How would you handle a situation like the one that just developed in North Korea?

PALIN: But obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies. We're bound to by treaty—

CO-HOST: South Korean.

PALIN: Eh, Yeah. And we're also bound by prudence to stand with our South Korean allies, yes.

Palin has turned the tables. She has completely redefined the US relationship with the Koreas! Americans can lose that scruffy hang dog dependent democracy called "South Korea" and buddy up to a tough-minded, nuclear power called "North Korea" and immediately have more "street cred" hanging with American's new atomic buddy!

I'm thinking Palin is showing her preference for tougher "compassionate" conservativism. Nobody has managed to "conserve" their society in a 1950s time warp as well as the Kim family of North Korea. There is no problem with liberals, welfare, or entitlements in North Korea. If you don't show patriotism and volunteer to put in a six-and-a-half day work week in North Korea, you get sent to the gulag. Now that solves the "compassion" problem much better than Bush's mushy compassionate conservatism.
