Our political Quote of the Day comes from Doug Mataconis who looks at Sarah Palin’s comments about Ronald Reagan and concludes that yes, she remembers Ronald Reagan — but seems to be missing an essential ingredient of who he was and why his appeal was so great that even some voters not inclined to agree with him were willing to hear him out (and be moved to support him):

The Ronald Reagan I remember was an optimist who spoke of America as being the “shining city on the hill,” and who, even if in the depths of the Carter Malaise believed that the country’s best days were ahead of it, a sentiment that appeared throughout his major campaign speeches in 1980. One of the reasons Ronald Reagan was successful was because he brought that message of optimism at a time when the American public was becoming increasingly pessimistic.

Modern-day conservative rhetoric, especially as practiced by the Palin’s and Glenn Beck’s of the world, seems to have thrown that Reagan optimism overboard in favor of a philosophy that seems to find enemies around every corner, and conspiracies behind every event. I don’t know what you call that, but it sure as heck isn’t Ronald Reagan, which just makes the efforts by such people to claim Reagan’s legacy as their own all the more pathetic, a point which was brought home with a vengeance recently thanks to comments from Reagan’s youngest son [Ron Reagen]…

Indeed, Reagan could energetically disagree with someone but didn’t paint all of his domestic foes as enemies of the United States who akin to villains in a James Bond movie, sitting around rubbing their hands as they plotted ways to end America as we know it. Reagan had an optimism and also came under fire for some off the wall comments. But his problems with language were often with accuracy versus some modern day conservatives who have a little problem with demagoguery. His optimism and willingness to engage politically without trying to whip up hatred is what made him win over the Reagan Democrats and get things done working with members of the other party. As historian Gil Troy has noted, Reagan also did plant some seeds that blossomed into modern day polarization.

But Troy has also noted that Reagan’s willingness to work with others and compromise put him in the class as (hold onto your hats conservatives) a moderate President. (Some details here..)

Today’s conservative talk show culture rhetoric — which is Palin’s style — is all about confrontation, demonization and all too often exclusion. Reagan wasn’t about to change the design of his tent. But he wanted it to be a bigger tent and was open to getting others in. Too many modern conservatives want a bouncer at the tent’s door to filter out those who might want in or to kick out those who are in and aren’t wearing the proper dress code (visible right wings). Reagan did indeed make people feel good and indulged in some happy talk but he also adhered to principles in which he believed; too many modern conservatives are out to make people fearful with the goal of scaring them so they will rush to the polls to support them to stop the described threat to their country and to support their own political sports team.

None of this is to suggest as some have that Palin can’t make it to the White House, given certain circumstances. But if she did she would be President of the Base by the Base and for the Base. Reagan sought to get the base and expand the base and stay loyal to his political tenets. Too many modern conservatives want to win with the base and keep the base pleased. That brings you right back to the rhetoric again required to please the base- which isn’t optimistic and conducive to building a bigger tent.

Reagan is a President who was not appreciated in his time or understood in his time.

Palin is understood all too well in her time — which is why she is tanking with independents and many thoughtful Republicans.

It’s hard to image Sarah Palin sitting down and seriously talking with the opposition, or even moderate Republicans when her idea of challenging questions is an interview with Sean Hannity.

Palin is to Ronald Reagan what the “new Darrin” was to the “old Darrin” in the classic TV show Bewitched. Or what either Darrin was to Gilligan on Gilligan’s Island.

But I could be wrong. Email me about the trend of a huge number of Palin Democrats and I’ll revise this post.

WARNING:

P.D.S. ALERT

I had read that Sarah Palin and her daughter, Bristol, have applied for trademarks for their names.

If approved, we could soon see Sarah Palin® and Bristol Palin®.

But why?

Adam Clark Estes has a pretty good explanation, not only of this latest Palin phenomenon, but also about U.S. intellectual—Oh, the possibilities here—property law and the whole trademark history and process.

You can read it here.

CODA:

According to Salon, “The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office refused Sarah Palin’s application on account of the lack of signature. But that’s easy enough to fix. All Sarah has to do is sign”

Registration is refused because the applied-for mark, SARAH PALIN, consists of a name identifying a particular living individual whose consent to register the mark is not of record.

Please note this refusal will be withdrawn if applicant provides written consent from the individual identified in the applied-for mark.

The Moderate Voice

Sarah Palin has filed applications to trademark her name and the name of the her daughter, Bristol. Maybe they’re coming out with their own line of moose shotguns?

It’s hard for an individual to trademark their name, but it’s not without precedent. Pop singer-songwriter Billy Joel has done it, for example. If Palin’s applications are granted, many politicians seeking to keep tighter commercial control of their images may well follow suit. Since President Obama was elected, the White House has openly grumbled about advertisers using Obama’s name and likeness to sell products. Last year, Obama aides publicly complained after the Weatherproof Garment Company installed a billboard in Times Square showing Obama wearing one of its jackets on a trip to China. But there was little the administration could legally do, since Obama’s image and name aren’t legally protected. The billboard was eventually removed—though not because of complaints.

If she gets approval, bloggers should then write Sarah Palin™.

Does Sarah Palin believe that Barack Husein Obama is the legitimate President of the United States of America or is she with the Birthers and other fringe members of the Tea Party such as Joseph Farah? The latest tape from the Sarah Palin Insider, who sometimes goes by the name of Xanadu, reveals that Mrs. Sarah Palin is unusually well informed on this issue. In the first part of the transcript we listen to Sarah Palin’s adviser speak on the matter. When he is quieted we hear Sarah Palin’s view and below that we see the Sarah Palin Hymn (known as “hunt Some Skunk) performed by two leadin Sarah Palin activists.

Sarah Palin: Well Mr. Smith I would like you to give me your findings. Was Barack Hussein Obama even born in this country? His name certainly does not sound American.

Mr Smith: The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Congressman John Boehner recently announced to the world on NBC News that he believes that President Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii. In addition to this there exists the President’s Birth Certificate which has been shown to be real and an announcement placed in the Honolulu Register announcing Barack Obama’s birth on 4th. August 1961. This is irrefutable proof that President Barack Hussein Obama is the legitimate 44th President of the United States of America.

Sarah Palin: But Mr Smith, have you spoken to God?

Mr Smith: No, of course not, have you?

Sarah Palin: No but my friend Joseph Farah has and he knows the truth about Obama and Gays too.

Mr Smith: I have to advise you that Joseph Farah is very much seen as a nutter throughout the Union.

Sarah Palin: Firstly Mr Smith I don’t have to agree with every darn thing you suggest. I am, for an example to you, going to use the Sarah Palin Hymn and I will be going down south to hunt some skunk. Secondly, Mr Smith if you do not pay respect to Joseph Farah then you Mr Smith are fired!

“There’s a feeling that Ronald Reagan just had a bag of tricks, and if you studied his bag of tricks, you could sell the American people anything,” Reagan speechwriter Peter Robinson told Laura Ingraham on The O’Reilly Factor this evening, referring to the commentariat’s lockstep narrative spin that President Obama’s SOTU speech last week was remarkably “Reaganesque,” based solely upon “optics” — a perceived tone of “Morning in America” optimism which eluded many of us here on the right side of the aisle — without any regard for content.

By Sissy Willis of sisu

“There isn’t one replacement for Reagan, but there are millions who believe in the great ideas that he espoused,” Sarah Palin told her Young America Foundation audience — and the world — in her keynote speech kicking off Young America’s Foundation’s “Reagan 100 celebration” at President Reagan’s Western White House Rancho del Cielo in Santa Barbara Friday evening:

There’s a whole army of patriotic Davids out there across this great country ready to stand up and to speak out in defense of liberty, and these Davids aren’t afraid to tell Goliath “don’t tread on me.”

Washington (CNN) – Politics is serious business – but not all the time.

What’s in a name?

A lot if you’re one of the Palins.

Politics Daily reports that Sarah Palin’s lawyer has filed applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the names “Sarah Palin®” and “Bristol Palin®.”
Full Story

CNN Political Ticker

The Palins are trademarking themselves:

In the last several months, Politics Daily has learned that the Palin family lawyer, Alaska attorneyThomas Van Flein, has filed applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office to trademark "Sarah Palin®" and "Bristol Palin®."

According to patent office application (serial # 85170226), Van Flein registered for a trademark of "Sarah Palin" on Nov. 5, 2010 — three days after the midterm elections. The government trademark examining attorney has "found no conflicting marks that would bar registration." In other words, nobody else had already taken the proposed trademark.

A "Bristol Palin" application (serial #85130638) was filed on Sept. 15, 2010. Bristol Palin’s stint with "Dancing With the Stars" premiered on Sept. 20.

This is, well, a little unusual:

In the last several months, Politics Daily has learned that the Palin family lawyer, Alaska attorney Thomas Van Flein, has filed applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office to trademark “Sarah Palin®” and “Bristol Palin®.”

According to patent office application (serial # 85170226), Van Flein registered for a trademark of “Sarah Palin” on Nov. 5, 2010 — three days after the midterm elections.

A “Bristol Palin” application (serial #85130638) was filed on Sept. 15, 2010. Bristol Palin’s stint with “Dancing With the Stars” premiered on Sept. 20.

Celebrities often trademark their names to protect their image or brand from others who might try to cash in on their likeness or use their name in an inappropriate way.

Okay that makes sense on some level, but here’s where it get’s weird:

For Sarah Palin’s application, there are two classes of commercial service for which her name would be a registered trademark. One is for “information about political elections” and “providing a website featuring information about political issues.” The second is for “educational and entertainment services … providing motivational speaking services in the field of politics, culture, business and values.”

The “Bristol Palin” application is for “educational and entertainment services, namely, providing motivational speaking services in the field of life choices.”

(…)

Politicians seldom trademark their name but they might do so to prevent others from using it, for example, to sell shoddy, unapproved merchandise or “official” candidate memorabilia. A search for other political figures such as President Barack Obama and potential 2012 GOP presidential candidates Mike Huckabee, Tim Pawlenty and Mitt Romney do not show any pending trademark applications. It is a rarity, say trademark attorneys, for political figures to file such forms.

For good reason. I’ll leave it for a Trademark Attorney to comment on this with expertise, but it seems to me that there are more than a few legal issues that would be raised by someone who is actually a politician (assuming that’s what Palin sees in her future) trademarking their name. Of course, this may be a sign that Palin has decided that there’s more money in being a political celebrity than in actually doing anything.
