Governor Palin Roots For Angela McGlowan & McGlowan Responds

By Adrienne Ross - www.motivationtruth.com


Via Twitter, Governor Palin throws her support behind Angela McGlowan from the state of Mississippi. McGlowan is running for Congress, and if anyone can shake Washington up, she can. She is bold, bright, and a breath of fresh air. She is unapologetically pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, and pro-Second Amendment. She understands that government works for the people, not the other way around, and she wants Washington to be held accountable in every way, particularly in the area of spending, which is completely out of control.

Angela McGlowan represents true change. There's no surprise, therefore, that Governor Palin would root her on in today's primary election.

Read more of my thoughts about Angela McGlowan by clicking here and here.

Once again, take a look and listen at her speech at the Nashville Tea Party Convention in February. Is there not a fire in this woman's belly?!



Governor Palin's tweets:

Mississippi-please vote!My family&I are rooting for Angela McGlowan;race may go to a run-off election,but hopefully Angela wraps it up today

@seanhannity Rooting for you, Angela! Mississippi will be well served when you win! -Sarah Palin

Angela McGlowan responds via Twitter to the Governor:

Thanks for the support, Governor! RT @SarahPalinUSA Mississippi-please vote!My family&I are rooting for http://tl.gd/1k8qdp

Update: Via Doug at C4P, I learned that McGlowan also responded to the Governor on her Facebook page:

WOW!!! TEAM, I AM SO HONORED TO RECEIVE THE SUPPORT OF GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN!!!!

Palin on Flotilla: Don’t Take Mainstream Media Coverage at Face Value

Gov Palin's second Facebook Note of June 1, 2010 addressed purposeful distortion of the Israel Flotilla story by the mainstream media, specifically those outlets with leftist and/or anti-Israel leanings. Gov. Palin preceded her Note with a Tweet, urging her followers to read columns written by Charles Krauthammer, David Horowitz and others regarding the flotilla incident. US for Palin author Gary P. Jackson detailed how terrorist Bill Ayers and Obama's top campaign bundler Jodie Evans are activists involved with the flotilla group.

The Real Story about the Flotilla

The second paragraph of Gov. Palin's Note synopsizes the flotilla incident nicely.
As far too many in the media, and in various governments, rush to condemn Israel, we must put the recent events off Israel’s coast into the right perspective. This “relief” convoy was not about humanitarian aid, as the liberal mainstream media keeps reporting. The whole operation was designed to provoke Israel, not to provide supplies to Palestinians held hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Anyone who sees the video of Israeli commandos being attacked as they land on that ship knows the people aboard were vicious thugs, not “peace activists.” The media insults our intelligence with their outright mischaracterization of who these enemies are.
How Humanitarian Aid to Gaza Really Works

In paragraph three, Gov. Palin goes on to delineate precisely how humanitarian aid to Gaza works.
Israel delivers thousands of tons of humanitarian supplies every week to Gaza. These ships could have offloaded their cargoes at a nearby Israeli port if they really wanted to help the people of Gaza. Instead, they chose to incite confrontation and violence. Israel has a right to prevent arms shipments to Gaza that will be used to target innocent Israelis, so they were legitimately checking the cargo on the flotilla. Turkey has chosen to condemn Israel but we should be asking some serious questions about Turkey’s role in this whole affair. Why is a fellow member of NATO sponsoring such a dangerous publicity stunt? As one expert points out: “Three ships of that six-ship pro-terror convoy flew Turkish flags and were crowded with Turkish citizens. The Ankara government – led by Islamists these days – sponsored the ‘aid’ operation in a move to position itself as the new champion of the Palestinians. And Turkish decision-makers knew Israel would have to react – and were waiting to exploit the inevitable clash. The provocation was as cynical as it was carefully orchestrated.”
In her closing paragraph, Gov. Palin exhorts the Obama administration to stand by Israel.
We can only hope the Obama Administration does not join the anti-Israel chorus in the aftermath of this staged confrontation. Please, Mr. President, we need to let Israelis know we stand with them in their fight against terrorists and those who arm and support them. America and her ally, Israel, stand by waiting for your response.

- Sarah Palin
Conclusion

Anyone who continues to harbor doubts about Gov. Palin's knowledge of foreign affairs can lay them to rest. Gov. Palin has clearly done her homework on this issue. Unfortunately, Obama's handling of foreign affairs has been less than stellar, to put it kindly. I share in Gov. Palin's hope that he'll stand by Israel, but I honestly would be very surprised if he does, for Obama has demonstrated numerous times that his loyalty lies elsewhere.

Palin: Is it Any Wonder we Call Them "Lame"?

Gov. Palin posted a Facebook Note on June 1, 2010 which described in detail how NBC twisted and distorted a printed statement she had supplied them. NBC sought an interview with Gov. Palin and her husband Todd regarding the fence they built to protect their border from stalker Joe McGinnis. NBC promised Gov. Palin to run her statement as a full-screen graphic, then broke their promise. Par for the course with an agenda-driven media.

Purposeful Distortion is Malicious

It's one thing to distort or misrepresent words as they're spoken, especially if the subject is a fast talker. Cub reporters covering their first few stories do it all the time, and even veterans do it. Distorting a printed statement that was supposed to run without modification is not an innocent mistake. It is a malicious act. NBC and MSNBC are well-known to have harbored malice toward Gov. Palin in the past, so this is just the latest in a series of hit pieces they have done on her and her family. Gov. Palin is actually someone outlets like NBC, MSNBC and the AP love to hate for as much as they hate her, they love the mega ratings dollars she brings.

Joe McGinnis and Saul Alinsky: Perfect Together

Gov. Palin also details in her Note, the Alinsky tactic used by McGinnis, in which he accuses her of "inciting hatred." Not addressed in the Note, but equally as disturbing was the "flipping the script" allegation made by McGinnis in a People Magazine interview that "Gov. Palin is stalking him".

Report the Facts! Leave out the Rest!

While the mainstream media is making Sarah Palin's new constructed fence the focus of prime time, the world is watching the Israeli people in a fight for survival. On the big scheme of things, who really cares about Sarah's fence? Even she said in a Facebook post, "Is It Any Wonder We call Them "Lame"?", today that they need to get over it and REPORT the real news! She hit them hard with her most recent Facebook posting on Israel:


The media, as usual, seems to be reporting only one side of the Israeli Flotilla incident. Don’t trust the mainstream media to give you both sides of a story fairly… you must seek out fair reporting to ensure you have all the information.

As far too many in the media, and in various governments, rush to condemn Israel, we must put the recent events off Israel’s coast into the right perspective. This “relief” convoy was not about humanitarian aid, as the liberal mainstream media keeps reporting. The whole operation was designed to provoke Israel, not to provide supplies to Palestinians held hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Anyone who sees the video of Israeli commandos being attacked as they land on that ship knows the people aboard were vicious thugs, not “peace activists.” The media insults our intelligence with their outright mischaracterization of who these enemies are.

Israel delivers thousands of tons of humanitarian supplies every week to Gaza.

America and her ally, Israel, stand by waiting for your response.

(Video) Sarah Palin On Israel: Please Watch Charles Krauthammer On Gaza Flotilla Incident



Transcript Of Special Report with Bret Baier on FNC (Monday, May 31):
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: The fundamental deception here is the use of the word "humanitarian." As we saw, humanitarians don’t wield iron clubs and would have killed the Israelis had the Israelis not drawn their pistols in self-defense. But there’s a larger issue here. What exactly is the humanitarian crisis that the flotilla was actually addressing? There is none. There’s no one starving in Gaza. The Gazans have been supplied with food and social services, education, by the U.N., by UNRWA, for 60 years in part with American tax money. Second, when there are humanitarian needs, the Israelis allow every day food and medicine overland into Gaza.
The reason that it did not want to allow this flotilla is because, as the spokesman for the flotilla said herself, this was not about humanitarian relief, it was about breaking the blockade. And the reason the Israelis have a blockade is because they only want to allow humanitarian supplies and not weaponry. Look, the proof of that is the fact that if you look at a map of Gaza, you’ll see that Israelis only control three sides of this rectangle. There’s a fourth side on the Egyptian side. So it is an Egyptian-Israeli blockade. The Egyptians have the same problem with Gaza. People accuse Israelis of having a blockade because they're racist, they’re anti-Muslim, anti-Arab. The Egyptians are Muslim and Arab, and they’ve gone to war three times on behalf of the Palestinians.
So why do they have exactly the same blockade? Because Gaza is run by Hamas, a terror entity that wants to import weaponry and resume the war against Israel. The man who made the announcement that we saw earlier, explaining the commando raid, is the defense minister of Israel. He’s not right winger. He’s Ehud Barak, who’s the leader of Labor, the party of Yitzhak Rabin, Golda Meir, the party of the left, the man who 10 years ago this summer offered the Palestinians a peace agreement that would provide a Palestinian state, division of Jerusalem and an end of the conflict. The Palestinians said no, and Gaza two years ago declared war on Israel. That's why you’ve got a blockade, and the flotilla was not about humanitarian needs. It was about smashing the blockade.
KRAUTHAMMER: I am somewhat encouraged by the fact that the U.S. has not joined the lynch mob at the U.N. attacking Israel on this and thus far have held off. I hope it will exercise a veto if it has to because Israel clearly is a victim here. If these people had wanted humanitarian aid, Israel offered to take the ships into Haifa, peacefully, unload all the stuff inside and to allow all the humanitarian aid immediately into Gaza, all the food and medicine. And it was refused because it was meant to be a provocation and to create an incident.

McGinniss compares Palin's tactics to Nazi Germany

The most talked about fence in the country and the author cited as the main cause for the 14 ft. fence that's become known as "The Great Wall" made its way onto NBC's Today Show Tuesday morning.

Joe McGinniss, the controversial author, who has moved next door to the subject of his next expose, Sarah Palin, has many questioning his move. Is it immersive journalism or stalking?

McGinniss, who also gave an interview to the Washington Post’s David Weigel, told Matt Lauer he would live in the house if the Palin's lived on the moon.

McGinniss claimed he needed to be in Wasilla to do his work and that his work is not to be in the house. He said he "couldn't care less about her kids," and was not there to observe the Palins. His goal is to talk to the people who have lived in Wasilla for 40 years, who know the Palin's best and can trace their evolution.

At the very start of the interview, McGinniss got defensive as he attempted to clarify the photo posted by Sarah Palin on her facebook page of McGinniss standing on the deck of his newly rented home in which she questions, "Wonder what kind of material he’ll gather while overlooking Piper’s bedroom, my little garden, and the family’s swimming hole?" McGinniss wanted to clarify that he was not peering in on the children, that he was as far away from the Palin home as he could get (on the other side of the deck), and that he was talking on the cell phone. Matt Lauer pointed out that Palin was probably talking about what McGinniss could do from that deck, not at that particular moment.

McGinniss said his wife will be moving in with him soon and his daughter and three grandchildren will be able to visit and enjoy relaxation while he works.

McGinniss said, "I moved here and didn't tell anybody outside of my family. I wanted to tell the Palins directly, personally, face-to-face, and work out some accomodation with them to live peacefully." But McGinniss added that, "Sarah hysterically puts up this Facebook page." He claimed it was revolting what Palin has caused people to say about him and pointed out the power Palin has to incite hatred and her readiness to do it. He compared the same kind of tactic to that of the Nazi troopers used in Germany in the 30s and said he didn't think there was any place for it in America.

When Lauer asked McGinniss what he would do if the roles were reversed, McGinniss said, "I would go over and shake hands and maybe give her a plate of cookies and say welcome to the neighborhood."

Ronald Reagan Threatens "The Narrative" Again

-cross posted at Patrick's World USA

This blogger believes the most important contribution that I can make to the conservative cause is to be one of many numbers - numbers which must grow in order to achieve our ultimate goal: returning America back to the people who truly understand the Constitution and what has to be done to make our nation great and exceptional again. As one of many who do this by educating our readers, each other and non-believers simultaneously, I'm not only comforted, but excited to see that there are so many out there who see what I see and what Ronald Reagan saw. Which is why, when reading Josh Painter's latest post, I couldn't help but be blown away by the keen and exact picture xMadMike drew - a picture in words that could not be clearer if it was placed on a 1000 mega-pixel flat screen TV.

Painter's reference to xMadMike's post brings it out front and provides us with an important educational read with a precise explanation of the dangerous narrative which liberals and progressives have been trying to get Americans to believe since the beginning of their movements. If you read The Shadow Party and you also look at The 50 Year Strategy, it all makes sense. The liberals, progressives and radicals have been "fundamentaly transforming America" for years by infiltrating the media, the pop culture and the halls of power.

The historical parallels between Ronald Reagan and Sarah Palin are glaring. While Sarah Palin is her own person, understanding her requires one to understand Ronald Reagan. Having come into adulthood at the beginning of Reagan's presidency at the same time as Sarah Palin (we are the same age), it is our common view of Reagan's greatness which is the connection between me the supporter and Sarah the leader.

No one sets out to be the "next Reagan." But they do set out to be like him. Reagan created the blueprint for keeping America strong both domestically and internationally. Many in the Republican party have strayed from that blueprint. As such, they have suffered the wrath of the people the way Bush the father and Bush the son have. This is not to say they didn't believe in Ronald Reagan - they did. They just did not execute on Reagan's philosophy properly. Those who have stuck closest to the Reagan philosophy have had the most political success.

If people are to be their own people and if someone is going to chart a political course in the modern era, simply copying cold war theory and supply side economics is not going to save the GOP. It's the full and total embracement of Reagan's spirit which contributes to how well one can do in today's political climate. Developing the same philosophical, ethical and intellectual core that Reagan had and demonstrating that in your own unique way while applying it to modern problems and solutions is the key to Sarah Palin's greatness.

Americans want a leader that will motivate them to act and make them feel confident and patriotic. They thought they had that in Barack Obama. With his fiery speeches and "messianic" promises, Americans were excited that the horrors of war and economic uncertainty could be behind us. But when Obama failed to deliver on that excitement, rather than return to the usually cynical point of apathy and political disenchantment, Americans rose up and formed the Tea party movement. They embraced a positive message of real change and set out to do what the Founders of our nation would have wanted them to do: become self reliant and unite behind the cause of freedom.

The movement was built bottom up. Yet the philosophy and vision are definitely top down from our Founders through Reagan. There are some still uncertain about Palin's future in this movement. Having been scorched by the failures of Obama, having had their hearts broken by the falling of Mark Sanford and having become generally skiddish of a mainstream media that continues to vilify Palin to this day, it's hard to expect those so jilted to succumb to "political love" again.

But, I have seen it in the eyes of the people at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis in 2008. I have read it in the writings of Palin supporters since the day she was chosen to run on the ticket. I have heard Sarah Palin herself weave the spirit and fabric of Reagan's existence into her own Alaskan accented style. I was not looking that hard for the next Reagan because I never thought I'd find him (or her).

In fact, I questioned whether comparing her to Reagan was political blasphemy at first.

And its because of this, I know it's not wishful thinking. I was not a "political romantic" in 2008. In fact, I was quite the opposite. I was very cynical. I was very demoralized. I felt as if I was watching the beginning of the thousand years of darkness Reagan warned us of. Each Republican candidate had a component of Reagan, but not one was Reagan. I understood that and I've been accepting that since 1988.

When Palin hit the scene, my first reaction wasn't "oh wow, this is the one we've been waiting for." My first reaction was "this is too good to be true, where's the gotcha?" I could have crumbled like a lawn chair the minute the media started smearing her. I could have cut and run when Troopergate hit. Instead, I researched her. If anything, the media lost its credibility in being able to sway me when I realized what they were saying was totally untrue. Palin won me over. The media just helped harden my resolve with their lies and smears.

I watched her speech in Minneapolis on TV and was just as mesmerized as those in the crowd not because I wanted to be mesmerized, but because I saw Ronald Reagan's spirit fill that room. I saw a look in the people's eyes that I have only seen when Reagan spoke. I saw a look in Todd's eyes that I have only seen in Nancy's.

I will probably get beat on for writing this post. But let's be real. If it took an outsider who took on the establishment, was smeared by the media and who rose to power by tenacity and a truly benevolent desire to save his country from the madness of liberalism, which the Carter administration came to symbolize, how could it be any different for what's required to save this country from the madness of the radicalism that the current Obama administration symbolizes?

Some sweat Palin's viability in a national election. The media has figured out that even if we know they lie, they are still able to place enough doubts in the peoples' heads that they may not pick Palin to be the GOP nominee and spare them the threat of having their liberal "narrative" destroyed. If the media squeaks by with a Gingrich, Huckabee or Romney presidency, they will consider that a win. Opposition is easier to deal with than destruction.

It is important to point out that people felt the same way about Ronald Reagan, even after he got the nomination in 1980. It wasn't until after the "There you go again" debate on September 24, 1980, that those who were not dedicated followers began to really take him seriously. Just as today's GOP insider elitists complain that we can't put a hockey mom from Wasilla at the top of the ticket, so yesterday's GOP insider elitists fretted about doing the same with a B grade movie actor.

It should give those skeptical of Palin's chances something to think about. If the media can bash you and make fun of you for starring in a movie with a chimpanzee and you can still make it to the White House, seeing "Russia from my house" shouldn't be that big of a deal considering Palin never actually said that.

Let's just hope Palin doesn't cut it as close as Reagan did. Winning over the people just a mere six weeks away from the election is not my idea of keeping my blood pressure low or my fingernails long. Recognize that not everyone is going to see what Palin supporters see right away. Palin is working hard to convince them and I believe she will. I just don't know how long its going to take and how much damage Barack Obama is going to have to do to the country before the fence sitters finally get up and say "give the lady a try."
