Do you ever get the feeling that Tea Party Republicans see the phrase “Ignorance Is Bliss” as a Mission Statement?

Just Sayin' Sunday-In My Opinion Oprah Winfrey Owes This Country A Huge Apology!-Mem

I don't claim to be a writer but I do have an opinion and will state it and this has been a long time coming for me.  It has eaten at me like a cancer. 

When it comes to Hollywood it's not just about money or if you have money.  It's about ratings.  If you lose ratings then you are gone.  You vanish into the night.

Times were changing.  A new generation was coming up that did not watch the Oprah Winfrey show.

They had no interest in who she was or who she knew and I think this pushed Oprah into making a choice that I feel was one of the worst decisions she ever made.  It may have not been a bad choice for her, but it was the worst choice for this Country.
Oprah Winfrey Show's best ratings since 2007. -NY Daily News (This is the day Oprah Winfrey Sold Her Soul To The Devil In My Opinion-Mem)
As many of you have suggested when I bring up this issue, no Oprah did not need the money and Oprah has given a lot in her life time.  To that I will give her credit but I also know you have to spend money to make money.  You have to have drama for ratings. Many of you may get mad about this suggestion but it is my opinion and my opinion on this will not change!
Sarah Palin’s interview with Oprah Winfrey Monday won the talk show queen her highest ratings in two years.-NY Daily News (Because everyone loves a circus, especially one gone bad and everyone loves a train wreck.  You will always have those who break their neck trying to see the dead body and Oprah was depending on that-Mem)
I will also say that like many of you I admired Oprah but I have my own personal issues with her and stopped watching the Oprah show many years ago.   With that said I was enraged when John McCain was so selfish and determined to win the 2008 elections that he brought in a woman he knew nothing about and had not vetted.  (I feel Oprah did the same thing or like John McCain did not care.  It was about the moment, about the win, about the ratings.)

The moment Sarah Palin walked onto the platform for John McCain, the division started in this Country.  She came on the scene ready to anger the crowd into a mob mentality and she did just that.  At one point someone in the crowd yelled "kill the Ni**** and she nodded and smiled.  I will never forget that and I will never forget the smug look of accomplishment on her face at that moment.

Oprah is an intelligent woman obviously and she supposedly prides herself on knowing the truth about people before they come on her show.  She supposedly reads a book before she recommends it to the Country.  Did Oprah not know that this woman was against everything "for women" and would try to take us backwards or did she not care?  Did Oprah not know that Sarah Palin hated Barack and Michelle Obama and would do anything she could to destroy them or did she not care?  Did Oprah not know that Palins own racism and mentality would take us back to a time when it was okay to treat black people different because of the color of their skin or did she not care?  Did Oprah not know that this woman appears to have mental problems and could wreak havoc on our Country with her lies, hate and fear mongering or did she not care?  Did Oprah not know that this woman is all about using God, Fear and her Family to get to the top or did she not care?  Did Oprah not know that every nut, anti-government loon and end of the earth crazy person would come out of the woodwork and the violence would begin or did she not care?

This Country made it loud and clear when they voted against John McCain and Sarah Palin that they did not want them in the White house and Sarah Palin went back to Alaska with her tail tucked between her legs.  She was done!  It was over! She went back to being a small state governor which she hated.  She wanted to be more....but she wasn't!

In my opinion Sarah was done and her first book would have been the failure that her second book was but for the power of Oprah Winfrey launching Palins book and stardom!   Many of you who have great admiration towards Oprah will deny this, will make excuses for Oprah but facts are facts.  Palin went back to being nothing and Oprah resurrected her into full blown stardom, just like she has done for others.

It was as though the media went into full blown, kiss Palins butt because she is now someone!  She was the new media darling because Oprah made her that.  She became untouchable. (I also blame mainstream media for jumping on the band wagon, giving Palin a free pass and letting the truth about this woman be swept under the rug)  She called the shots now and she was Fox's best weapon for the type of followers they have.  Palin had been brought back to take everything women had ever fought for back to the beginning.  Palin had been brought back to take black people and minorities back to a time when they had to live in fear, were less then.  Palin had been brought back to unleash her hate on the "Obama's".  This woman with an 83 IQ, dysfunctional family, small town mayor and small state governor was unleashed, resurrected to concur and divide a Country that was facing financial ruin from the last 8 years, two wars and a party of no!  (At some point after the interview if memory serves me right, I believe that Oprah even came out publicly and said that Trig was Sarah Palins baby.  Excuse me Oprah you know this because you were in the room when Trig was born? You know this because you and Sarah bonded and she told you so?)  Just sayin'!

Palin has the religious right fooled and in my opinion is one of the "false prophets" that comes up out of the church to fool the masses and never blinks an eye while doing so.  The right does not care if she is ignorant.  Ignorance is a blessing to those who are rich and in power because they think they can control the Country and the White house by putting someone into this position. (GWB Twice and he doesn't even have all the advantages that Palin now has)  The republicans will go along with her as a candidate because they have backed themselves into a corner by acting like they were the tea party during mid-elections.  She will be backed by the Corporations such as Koch Brothers as well as the Chamber Of Commerce.  She will be backed by the Supreme Court who made Corporations people and she will be backed by a huge % of the population which is the religious right because she has convinced them that "we are in the end times" and that President Obama is the anti-christ.   (When do any of you in your lifetime remember people of all religions who normally don't like each other come together for one purpose?)  She will as always have a free platform through fox and other right wing media.  (And the rest of the media will continue to be weak and at bay when it comes to the real truth about Sarah Palin)

I have a problem with people who do not learn from history and take this whole situation lightly.  (I think that was the same attitude in Nazi Germany. "We didn't know") Those who hope she runs need to realize that they may get their wish and much more.  Our Country is a different Country now, the world is different and the corporations and the rich are fighting to make the poor extinct and if we don't fight back, if we don't take this serious we will be the losers in the end.  Until people take her presence serious and until they really see what she has been able to get away with, we are in trouble as a Country.  If she doesn't run for President as she has eluded to many times, then good (just means she was milking the money pot as many have suggested) but that does not take away from her ability to anger the crowd, voice an opinion as though it were from actual knowledge or God himself.  Until people say enough is enough she will continue to divide this Country with her hate and her false vision of what God has in store for her!

Sarah Palin was a dead horse!  Finished!  It was a time to come together again but the division she has caused in this Country just since Oprah's show is criminal!  This Country is divided by the hate that Palin brought back with her.  Her soul is truly dark and Oprah resurrected that darkness in a time when our Country needed to stand together...even the KKK no longer fear being seen in broad daylight but now embrace the power Palin has given them through her continued platform.

When people vote against their own self-interest and have no problem with the rich getting richer while they live in tents and their kids go hungry then something is very wrong and we who still believe in true freedom need to get our voices back.   We need to awaken the sleeping lion before this has a very bad ending.

Until people see, remember and realize the ability Sarah Palin has to disrupt the tides, the sands will continue to shift in a dangerous direction.-Mem

The former GOP vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” to plug her new memoir “Going Rogue” and discussed the brouhaha over Winfrey’s decision not to interview her during the 2008 presidential campaign.

Winfrey was a vocal supporter of Barack Obama.

Monday’s episode featuring Palin drew an 8.7 household rating and 13 share – the highest ratings for Winfrey since she hosted the entire Osmond family in 2007, according to TV by the Numbers, a media site that tracks network ratings.

Palin also topped this year’s much-hyped Whitney Houston appearance.

Winfrey began the interview by asking the maverick-turned-memoirist if she’d felt snubbed over not being invited on the show last year.

She didn’t.

"No offense to you, but it wasn't the center of my universe," she said. -NY Daily News
Final afterthought: I thought it a bit arrogant and ironic that Palin would say that it wasn't the center of her universe since numerous reports came out that Sarah Palin was angry during the campaign that Oprah had Barack and Michelle Obama on her show.  I believe this continued to the point Oprah had to make a statement that because she was endorsing Obama she had not asked Palin on the show but would after the election. *Smootch* -Mem

    Ann - can you imagine if we would've had McCain-Palin? Oh, Lawd
    18 hours ago

    Terry - We would be at war with the rest of the world.

    McCain would demand a "do over" with Vietnam.

    Ann - and, we'd all be living in tents

    William - The sooner we ignore her the sooner she will fade into oblivion where she belongs.

    William - Every time you mention her your IQ drops by 1.

    Terry - Cancer don't go away when it's ignored.

    William - Cancer is real.

    LeAnn - wow I didnt even know about it.. completely off my radar.. I am SOOO SLIPPING on my Palin watch.. I used to get enraged anytime the tundra bimbo opened her mouth, but it has sort of become "YAWN- she is so , like, Yesterday!"....

    LeAnn - but Mem- GREAT BLOG!! I am with you 200 %

    Terry - ‎"Cancer is real."

    So is Tundra Twit, unfortunately.

    LeAnn - Terry, "grab her by the throat" lmao! I LOVE it!!!.. Hey but she is NOT a CANCER.. she is Americas Venereal Disease. Palinoma Virus. Incurable and annoyingly hard to treat.

    Mem - William you have your opinion and I have mine! It really doesn't matter how far my IQ drops because I have no intention of running for President. It really doesn't matter how far my IQ drops because I am not one of the many ignorant who support her and give her my last dime. Don't worry about my IQ and if you don't see Palin as a real problem, JUST like cancer then you might want to check out your reality numbers.

    LeAnn - I think William meant everytime someone, anyone mentions her name. their IQ drops, cause even TALKING about her brings us near her hometown of stupidville. But O-M-G.. I CANT HELP IT arrrghhhhh

    Mem - I'm sure William didn't mean my IQ but just in case he did:)

    Terry - I've said it before and I will say it again: if we ignore people like Palin and Beck, they take it as a sign that they are unopposed and that we are "afraid of" them.

    No - they must be called on their bullshit and called often.

    Mem -Totally agree Terry! Now I am off to nap:)

    Civil Citizen M-‎....whether you ignore or pay attention to someone headed for self-destruction, they usually get there... Either way, your trip is voluntary.......

    Judy -
    I didn't see the interview. I don't watch talk shows. But imho, I think Oprah SHOULD have had her on and then BLASTED her with questions of substance. Palin would have curled up in the fetal position after a few hard questions, anyway. I am... puzzled by Oprah, given how much she campaigned for Obama, and being a person of color herself, not to mention being a woman. One of the questions I would put to her is: Why did you pass legislation, when you were governor of Alaska, to force rape victims to pay for their own rape kits? THAT would have been my first question and it have been all down hill for Sarah The Stupid, after that! LOL

  2. Terry - This is a woman who has her own magazine...and her photo is on EVERY cover. She gives up her talk show to start her own network (which isn't doing too well).

    If that isn't an ego out of control, I don't know what is.

    Mem - This is true Civil but I am here to help her get there faster...I don't like to see anything suffer...especially those of us who have to endure her until she is done, over...gone, never to be resurrected...

    Judy - The GOOD thing is, Palin's ratings are very anemic. Every time she opens her mouth and says the stupid things she says, it's one maore nail in her political coffin.

    Terry -Another thing that pisses me off,,,on Oxygen, she does nothing but put on shows that show women in the worst light.

    I mean, "The Bad Girls Club"??? "All About Aubrey"? Oxygen glorifies bimbos.

    William -
    @Mem,
    I hope you know I think the world of you, and I agree with your sentiments completely.
    My original point should have been that the "media" has given her the throne from which she wields her ignorance.
    This woman is everything you believ...e her to be and worse.
    I've heard it said "Satan's only power is the power to deceive". This woman's existence is the epitome of that concept. Can there be a more apt statement made about Sarah Palin? I'm gettin' dumner by the minute.
    Oprah blundered by the sole act of mentioning her name, just as all the rest of the media has been doing since she first showed up.
    The only reason she ever got any attention in the first place was because a senile airplane crashing former POW senator thought she was sexy, and so did every single media executive, male and female, since that day. If she looked like Sharon Angle, we'd never have seen more than two photos of her, and she'd never have been taken seriously by anyone.

    Terry - She ISN'T that great looking. She wears ten pounds of make up.

    Then again, the right wingers think Coulter, Ingraham and Malkin are "hot."

    Judy - Terry, they have made a POINT of saying how republican women are beautiful and dem women are ugly.

    Denise Bach I agree with you Mem. Oprah had very much to do with 2008. I'm not saying this because I am a fan of hers, because I am not. However, that is one thing she was on the right track about.

    Terry - Republican women are not beautiful. They look like department store mannequins.

    Like the Republican men who don't look like evil Pillsbury Doughboys.

    LeAnn - OK but did anyone see the oprah thing? I mean did she let palinoma get away with her "act"?

    Doug - To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. It is also the greatest challenge because all the rednecks in the redneck states want to control everything and everybody, from kids on a hockey team to senators from Arizona. But if Palin can see Russia from her house, the Russians can also see her from theirs. Those poor Russian people!

    Terry - And she probably undresses with the curtains open, too.

    Doug - That might have sparked a little interest 25 years ago, but people do age, so like I said, "THOSE POOR RUSSIANS."

    Wendy - Disappointed in OPrah.

  3. Sorry I am having to do this in several comments as it will only take so many words:)-Mem

    Terry - ‎"That might have sparked a little interest 25 years "

    I saw the photos of her in a swimsuit in the 1984 Miss Alaska contest. She was nothing to brag about then, either.

    Mem -
    LeAnn I refused to watch the show. I was not going to add to the ratings but I did hear from many sources who did watch it that Oprah played softball with Palin and then took a bunch of pictures with Palin and her kids after wards. I'm so...rry but she owes women, black people, the Obama's and all the ignorant people out there who believe Palins crap and apology. She owes all of an apology for bringing that uneducated, hatemonger back into our lives. She was a dead horse! Finished! The division she has cause just since Oprah's show and now are criminal....this Country is divided by the hate that Palin brought with her. Her soul is truly dark and Oprah resurrected that darkness in a time when our Country needed to stand together...See More

    Jean - I won't watch the show anymore, Mem. When Oprah had the Alaskan witch on she lost any small piece of respect I had left for her.



    Nancy - I thought Oprah made the wrong decision to have the bitch on. The very bitch that bad mouthed President Obama & then have her on the show, no.

    Lindsey -Totally agree that Oprah sold out. She ought to be ashamed of herself. Can we not just get a media boycott of SP once and for ALL and quit giving her media coverage like she is any kind of serious candidate for ANYTHING? She makes us all look ridiculous as a country that we waste time listening to and talking about her hate-filled, nonsensical, ignorant narcissistic drivel.

    Mem - Lindsey as soon as the media stops giving her a platform to spread her lies and hate is the day that I will stop talking about her. When they are done with her once and for all then I will be as well. The media will play it for all it's worth until the Alaskan Lady sings because as I said, it's all about ratings and money...

    Lindsey - She just makes me crazy. I thought GW was as bad as it could get, and then along comes Sarah to take women back 100 years and make us look like idiots. IMO, as a female politician, you have to be EXTRA informed, EXTRA aware, EXTRA intelligent, because you are representing all women, and we are still way under-represented in the board room, Congress and other power platforms.

    Fred - I hope she shut up! Every time she open her mouth..my ears hurt and I get headache..Voice is so irritating!

    ReplyDelete
  4. Lindsey -Just like Tina Fey said, I feel like I am just about as smart as her. And it ain't enough. (I actually believe Tina and I are both smarter than SP; at least I know enough to say "I don't know," and I know that Africa is a continent.)

    Mem - I am pretty sure you are way beyond Sarah Palin intelligence. With that said she is the teathug darling because she does lack intelligence. She has the ability to anger the mob, lie with a straight face, set the fear of God into the righteous and milk the money from the poor while convincing them that she is doing Gods Will! She is a snake oil salesman and just the person the right needed now and then. She is also a sociopath which is really a plus for the right.

    Lindsey - Couldn't agree with you more. I try to remain calm, but my close friends know the fastest way to make me lose it is to start discussing Sarah Palin. I wrote a letter to my local paper detailing my issues with her in bullet points and had to stop after, what was it, 20-something? If there is an anti-Christ walking around on this earth, I believe she is it.

    Lindsey -Mem, if you decide to join our Dem Divas FB page, I would love to link your blog to it. Great content for discussion!

    Mem - Lindsey please feel free to share my blog or post anytime. I have stopped doing groups, etc. for awhile until my life gets on track again. I have so much going on right now that sometimes I overwhelm myself and realize that I'm not young anymore:) When things slow down and we are out of tea party land, (the small town we live in) I promise I will join. ♥

    Ike - said, well stated Mem; I enjoy your posts.

    Brenda -
    You absolutely make very good points here, Mem and I think the media makes too much of these two women! While I respect Oprah for making something of herself in life and she has done some wonderful things for those less fortunate, don't tel...l me that she doesn't secretly do it to pat herself on the back! She has a huge ego as does Sarah Palin...a couple of egomaniacs! I don't watch Oprah anymore, never did watch it much anyways to begin with and I never watch Palin, can't stand to look at her or listen to her...not going to give her the time of day! So the media can try and shove these two women down my throat all they want...it ain't gonna work! I felt this way years ago, when they over hyped Farrah Fawcett as a beauty and the media made such a big deal out of her and acted like she was the best thing going...I guess I just don't have a "follow the herd" mentality! Wish so many others didn't have that mentality! The media acts like we should all follow Oprah and bow down to her like a God, ditto for Palin... they're wasting their time with me!!!

    ‎@ Mem
    I have attached professional IMDb listing for Sarah Palin. http://pro.imdb.com/name/nm3126606/maindetails

    I agree with you I don't think Oprah should have done it and I America and the Media in general need to enter a "Sarah Palin 12 ...Step Program".
    What IMDb shows is that she executed a wide and successful media campaign. I think Oprah was helpful but not decisive. I am not sure she needs to provide an apology more the other media whores out there.
    I do hope Oprah will use her platform to bring clarity to destructive assault on the Middle Class by the Conservative Political Media Complex.See More

    Brenda -If everyone starts putting Oprah on any higher a pedestal than she's already on where she thinks she is such a great influence on public opinion she is going to turn into a megalomaniac! We, and that includes the media, shouldn't feed her ego anymore than it's already being fed! Same with Palin....it's the public worshiping and blind following that creates these media whores, the same for anyone that seeks fortune and fame!

    Kathy - I gotta tell ya Mem, I agree with you in totality! Oprah should be ashamed. She did NOT need the money. She did NOT need the fame. Oprah has done a great disservice to this country almost to the extent tha McCranky did. I will NEVER forgive the people that have kept this substandard glittery idiot in the public spotlight.

It really doesn't matter how far my IQ drops because I am not one of the many ignorant who support her and give her my last dime. Don't worry about my IQ and if you don't see Palin as a real problem, JUST like cancer then you might want to check out your reality numbers.

    LeAnn - I think William meant everytime someone, anyone mentions her name. their IQ drops, cause even TALKING about her brings us near her hometown of stupidville. But O-M-G.. I CANT HELP IT arrrghhhhh

    Mem - I'm sure William didn't mean my IQ but just in case he did:)

    Terry - I've said it before and I will say it again: if we ignore people like Palin and Beck, they take it as a sign that they are unopposed and that we are "afraid of" them.

    No - they must be called on their bullshit and called often.

    Mem -Totally agree Terry! Now I am off to nap:)

    Civil Citizen M-‎....whether you ignore or pay attention to someone headed for self-destruction, they usually get there... Either way, your trip is voluntary.......

    Judy -
    I didn't see the interview. I don't watch talk shows. But imho, I think Oprah SHOULD have had her on and then BLASTED her with questions of substance. Palin would have curled up in the fetal position after a few hard questions, anyway. I am... puzzled by Oprah, given how much she campaigned for Obama, and being a person of color herself, not to mention being a woman. One of the questions I would put to her is: Why did you pass legislation, when you were governor of Alaska, to force rape victims to pay for their own rape kits? THAT would have been my first question and it have been all down hill for Sarah The Stupid, after that! LOL

    ‎@ Mem
    I have attached professional IMDb listing for Sarah Palin. http://pro.imdb.com/name/nm3126606/maindetails

    I agree with you I don't think Oprah should have done it and I America and the Media in general need to enter a "Sarah Palin 12 ...Step Program".
    What IMDb shows is that she executed a wide and successful media campaign. I think Oprah was helpful but not decisive. I am not sure she needs to provide an apology more the other media whores out there.
    I do hope Oprah will use her platform to bring clarity to destructive assault on the Middle Class by the Conservative Political Media Complex.See More

    Brenda -If everyone starts putting Oprah on any higher a pedestal than she's already on where she thinks she is such a great influence on public opinion she is going to turn into a megalomaniac! We, and that includes the media, shouldn't feed her ego anymore than it's already being fed! Same with Palin....it's the public worshiping and blind following that creates these media whores, the same for anyone that seeks fortune and fame!

    Kathy - I gotta tell ya Mem, I agree with you in totality! Oprah should be ashamed. She did NOT need the money. She did NOT need the fame. Oprah has done a great disservice to this country almost to the extent tha McCranky did. I will NEVER forgive the people that have kept this substandard glittery idiot in the public spotlight.

  11. Terry - This is a woman who has her own magazine...and her photo is on EVERY cover. She gives up her talk show to start her own network (which isn't doing too well).

    If that isn't an ego out of control, I don't know what is.

    Mem - This is true Civil but I am here to help her get there faster...I don't like to see anything suffer...especially those of us who have to endure her until she is done, over...gone, never to be resurrected...

    Judy - The GOOD thing is, Palin's ratings are very anemic. Every time she opens her mouth and says the stupid things she says, it's one maore nail in her political coffin.

    Terry -Another thing that pisses me off,,,on Oxygen, she does nothing but put on shows that show women in the worst light.

    I mean, "The Bad Girls Club"??? "All About Aubrey"? Oxygen glorifies bimbos.

    William -
    @Mem,
    I hope you know I think the world of you, and I agree with your sentiments completely.
    My original point should have been that the "media" has given her the throne from which she wields her ignorance.
    This woman is everything you believ...e her to be and worse.
    I've heard it said "Satan's only power is the power to deceive". This woman's existence is the epitome of that concept. Can there be a more apt statement made about Sarah Palin? I'm gettin' dumner by the minute.
    Oprah blundered by the sole act of mentioning her name, just as all the rest of the media has been doing since she first showed up.
    The only reason she ever got any attention in the first place was because a senile airplane crashing former POW senator thought she was sexy, and so did every single media executive, male and female, since that day. If she looked like Sharon Angle, we'd never have seen more than two photos of her, and she'd never have been taken seriously by anyone.

    Terry - She ISN'T that great looking. She wears ten pounds of make up.

    Then again, the right wingers think Coulter, Ingraham and Malkin are "hot."

    Judy - Terry, they have made a POINT of saying how republican women are beautiful and dem women are ugly.

    Denise Bach I agree with you Mem. Oprah had very much to do with 2008. I'm not saying this because I am a fan of hers, because I am not. However, that is one thing she was on the right track about.

    Terry - Republican women are not beautiful. They look like department store mannequins.

    Like the Republican men who don't look like evil Pillsbury Doughboys.

    LeAnn - OK but did anyone see the oprah thing? I mean did she let palinoma get away with her "act"?

    Doug - To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. It is also the greatest challenge because all the rednecks in the redneck states want to control everything and everybody, from kids on a hockey team to senators from Arizona. But if Palin can see Russia from her house, the Russians can also see her from theirs. Those poor Russian people!

    Terry - And she probably undresses with the curtains open, too.

    Doug - That might have sparked a little interest 25 years ago, but people do age, so like I said, "THOSE POOR RUSSIANS."

    Wendy - Disappointed in OPrah.
