Opinions
Rehoboam
son of Solomon
his power shackled,
impaled upon opinion
misled by scoundrels
sounding off
Some Democrats, the
speaker of the house
maintain their ground
beyond the pale of
socialist opinion
still trawling the waters

The pale means the area enclosed by a fence (usually made of spaced planks of wood pointed on the top) and later just figuratively 'the area that is enclosed and safe'. So to be 'beyond the pale' was to be outside the area accepted as 'home'.
