The Only Ones With Cajones in the GOP are Women; UPDATE: AUDIO ADDED (Under Excerpts)
Sarah Palin has been laying it on the line and with all the negative media attention she received last year, it shows that this woman knows she has nothing to lose and could care less what others think at this point. Her attitude is what is needed during this time of media propagandizing and kowtowing to the Democrats, especially Obama – it’s about time that somebody within the GOP actually stands on principle – not politics as usual, special interests, PC mumbo-jumbo, or money.
Palin has made statements regarding the North Korean missile threats and Obama’s budget cuts aimed at specific defense programs. Sarah has issued very poignant, concise, intelligent statements on Dr. Tiller and William Long (the military recruiter). She has vetoed some stimulus funds that had universal energy codes attached to them – something that Alaska certainly does not need. Sarah has also continued her fight for the gas pipeline. Governor Palin was most recently attending a rally in honor of Ronald Reagan, where son Michael Reagan, was the keynote speaker, in Anchorage. During a brief 17 minute introduction of Michael Reagan she made statements regarding the control government wants over not only the states, but us, as individuals. Have any GOP beltway hacks so much as inferred this?
Here is part of her speech:
“Since when can you get out of huge national debt by creating trillions of dollars of new debt?” Palin asked. “It all really is so backwards and skewed as to sound like absolute nonsense when some of this economic policy is explained.”
“We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population, and fearful lawmakers, being led to believe that big government is the answer, to bail out the private sector, because then government gets to get in there and control it,” she said. “And mark my words, this is going to be next, I fear, bail out next debt-ridden states. Then government gets to get in there and control the people.”
“Some in Washington would approach our economic woes in ways that absolutely defy Economics 101, and they fly in the face of principles, providing opportunity for industrious Americans to succeed or to fail on their own accord,” she said. “Those principles it makes you wonder what the heck some in Washington are trying to accomplish here.”
Though the bulk of her remarks focused on government encroachment into the private sector, and praise for former President Reagan’s views on limited government, the former vice presidential candidate briefly touched on national security. She told the crowd that “the terrorists are still dead set against us” and that her son Track is still deployed in Iraq.
“It is war over there, so it will not be war over here,” she said. “And it had better still be our mission that we win, they lose.”She also pointed to the recent dismissal of another ethics complaint against her, one that accused the governor of having a conflict of interest for wearing a jacket to the opening of the Tesoro Iron Dog race in February that feautured the logo of the sponsor of her husband’s team. Palin has been forced to set up a legal defense fund to help pay for fees related to an onslaught of ethic complaints.
Palin said of the people who have filed the complaints: “Those are the folks who want to tell me, they want to tell you, to sit down and shut up. We will not do that. I just can’t, because I love my state. I love my country.”
Here’s a great quote that was left out since it was CNN that reported on it (just a little biased):
“I am just a mom; I’m a proud Alaskan hockey mom. I love my country, I’m concerned about my kids’ future and your kids’ future. I was raised where it is rugged, and you’ve got to be tough with dogged determination in order to survive sometimes.”
Governor Palin was introduced by Eddie Burke (a radio show host in Alaska) and he said the following:
“Pardon me Governor for saying this, but Barry Goldwater Jr. recently said ‘She is attractive, she is smart, she’s got the right message, and she doesn’t take crap from anyone.’”
Audio of her speech. (And yes, she does say “SCREW POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!!!”)
Michele Bachmann has also been incredibly outspoken over the last few months, especially regarding ACORN. She has been trying to pass legislation that would not allow ACORN or any other institution that receives tax payer funds, under investigation or indictment, to receive them, until all charges are officially dropped. This of course did not pass in the House, which is run by the Democrats – most likely because ACORN would have been affected and we know that dead voters always have positive effects for those trying to get elected in close races. Too many politicians would be indicted along with the dirty deeds of ACORN if this was ever investigated completely. However, Bachmann is starting a petition campaign to get this started and to end ACORN’s funding.
These are the types of people we need to keep our eye on and listen to. These are the politicians that are not afraid to speak their mind no matter what the repercussions, because they have character and believe in more than themselves – they believe in the individual; they believe in the USA.
Help out Michele and sign her petition here.
Liberals must also be noticing that the women on the right are the more involved, less fearful of the bunch – since they have to go after some of our women who aren’t even politicians, just pundits, bloggers, columnists and commentators, by writing an article about hate f***ing them… The tolerance of liberals never ceases to astound me.
Keep it up ladies!
Miss California Keeps Her Title!
Carrie Prejean has finally been exonerated. Not like she should have been held to some unobtainable standard to begin with, but when you are a conservative, and religious at that, liberals feel as though you must either be 100% pure or you’re a hypocrite.
The liberal argument is basically about standards, if you dont’ have any you can’t be held accountable, so needless to say, those that stand on principles will incessantly get harassed by the media and the activists, waiting for the slightest mistake.
Carrie Prejean took photos for a modeling shoot, just as many other females have, who try to get into a career that pertains to beauty and looks. I think the photos were actually very tasteful and they didn’t show any private body parts nor was she ever fully undressed. I’m not sure where liberals get off trying to publicly galvanize this woman just for doing a photo shoot to get ahead in her field. Kathy Ireland is a conservative and incredibly religious for that matter, but nobody made a stink when she was all over the covers of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. What about all those other celebrities that actually undress themselves and literally pose nude on the cover of Maxim, Playboy, etc.? It’s ok because they don’t profess to be spiritual or believe in God? If that’s the case I feel very sorry for those individuals. They are truly missing out on a wonderful aspect of life that fills many voids I currently see in today’s society.
What amuses me most is the fact that liberals never catch onto the fact that Christian conservatives do not claim to be perfect, in fact it is quite the opposite. We are trying to be more God-like and live a life similar to that of the apostle Paul (if I could choose an example). Jesus believed in redemption and treated those who had fallen away and sinned, but came back, as his children. The prodigal sons and daughters were always the closest to the heart of Jesus. The only perfect entity in this world is God and it is us mere mortals who attempt to emulate as best we can his teachings, although we know we fall way short. The only people who have difficulty understanding this concept are those who are either averse to the truth or fear that there may really be some higher power greater than themselves and their ideology.
I was happy to hear that earlier today Donald Trumpmade a statement that dropped the “charges” against Carrie Prejean and she was “allowed” to keep her title as Miss California. I hope she continues to be a champion of the 1st amendment and speaks her mind in a very mature and inviting way. She deserves to be herself and believe in the things she does without being lambasted by those who feel differently. Donald Trump made the ironic remark that “We are living in the 21st century…” basically telling all the critics to get a life and get real. This is America, we are all allowed to have our own opinions, let’s hope that we never lose that. Freedom is not free…
Oh and liberals… are you going to go after Obambi for his opinion that marriage is only between one man and one woman? —— Crickets…
Carrie, yet again, spoke very well during the press conference today, and here is the part that made me choke up… because of the truth in her words!
Hawaii Backs the Creation of Islam Day…
Hawaii’s state Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill Wednesday to celebrate “Islam Day” — over the objections of a few lawmakers who said they didn’t want to honor a religion connected to Sept. 11, 2001.
The Senate’s two Republicans argued that a minority of Islamic extremists have killed many innocents in terrorist attacks.
“I recall radical Islamists around the world cheering the horrors of 9/11. That is the day all civilized people of all religions should remember,” said Republican Sen. Fred Hemmings to the applause of more than 100 people gathered in the Senate to oppose a separate issue — same-sex civil unions.
The resolution to proclaim Sept. 24, 2009, as Islam Day passed the Senate on a 22-3 vote. It had previously passed the House and now goes to Republican Gov. Linda Lingle.
The bill seeks to recognize “the rich religious, scientific, cultural and artistic contributions” that Islam and the Islamic world have made. It does not call for any spending or organized celebration of Islam Day.
But Republican Sen. Sam Slom argued that the United States has become too sympathetic toward Islamic extremists.
I wonder if Linda Lingle will sign this into law… ugh… probably.
The day of Sept. 24, 2009 is a little too close to 9/11 for me. I’m a little uncomfortable recognizing “Islam Day” because many in the Middle East (if you have seen their propaganda or listened to their speeches translated) are still calling for the destruction of the great Evil, the West, and most notably the United States and the extermination of Israel… but we should recognize Islam Day in September. Why don’t we have a Christian Day or a Catholic Day? Why don’t the atheists protest Islam? It is a religion!
I’m sure Pamela Geller has several opinions on this… www.atlasshrugs.com
A Win For Creationism
From Fox News:
Student Wins Suit After Teacher Says Creationism ‘Superstitious Nonsense’
SANTA ANA, Calif. — A federal judge ruled that a public high school history teacher violated the First Amendment when he called creationism “superstitious nonsense” during a classroom lecture.
U.S. District Judge James Selna issued the ruling Friday after a 16-month legal battle between student Chad Farnan and his former teacher, James Corbett.
Farnan sued in U.S. District Court in 2007, alleging that Corbett violated the establishment clause of the First Amendment by making repeated comments in class that were hostile to Christian beliefs.
The lawsuit cited more than 20 statements made by Corbett during one day of class, all of which were recorded by Farnan, to support allegations of a broader teaching method that “favors irreligion over religion” and made Christian students feel uncomfortable.
During the course of the litigation, the judge found that most of the statements cited in the court papers did not violate the First Amendment because they did not refer directly to religion or were appropriate in the context of the classroom lecture.
But Selna ruled Friday that one comment, where Corbett referred to creationism as “religious, superstitious nonsense,” did violate Farnan’s constitutional rights.
Finally, a win for a Christian; we actually do have rights! It works both ways, and for once, it worked in favor for those of us who believe. I hope this sends a message that Christians are not going to lie down and take it any more.
