Sarah Palin: About That "Coin Controversy" Are You Kidding Me?



You know, maybe it’s just because I’m just a dumb old small town Texan, but having listened to Sarah Palin speak for a couple of years now, on everything from geopolitics, to energy independence, to eating at Dairy Queen, I’ve never had one single problem understanding a single word she has ever said.

You see, like us Texans, Sarah Palin is a plain spoken woman. She says exactly what she means, and by God, she means exactly what she says. This is obviously more than the "elites" in our society can deal with.

These "elites" look for hidden meanings, nuances, what have you. It's like they feel they need an interpreter to understand "American!" It's beyond their abilities to understand that with Sarah Palin, what you see, is what you get.

The more I look around at the so-called "smart people" who occupy the media, Congress, and the White House, the more convinced I am that the whole Ivy League schooled lot is educated far beyond their intelligence.

This of course, explains why America is in the shape it finds itself in.

This latest "Palin controversy" cooked up by the Obamacentric media has to do with the recent speech Sarah gave at the Wisconsin Right To Life festivities Friday night. This is actually the second media cooked up "controversy" surrunding the event, as the Obama lap dogs got their panties in a wad because the press was not allowed. These grown ups have whined like two year olds since. And of course, have blamed Sarah. Never mind that it was the event host, and double never mind that this is standard operating procedure for these things.

So far, no whining about the fact the press cameras won’t be allowed at the Gridiron Dinner, the black tie affair Sarah will be attending in Washington, D.C. next month. Maybe it’s because all of the other A-listers will be there as well.

Anyhow, to the latest made up silliness from the drive by media.

It seems Sarah made some remarks about the fact on the new dollar coin, "In God We Trust" has been moved from it’s rightful place, to the edge of the coin. Like many, she sees this as a metaphor for the way God is being deliberately shoved aside in our culture. Now she never blamed anyone in particular, and yes, she know this all started a while back.

Anyhow, from Sarah:



Coin Controversy?

Today at 6:20pm

It is stunning to read and hear about this "coin controversy." At a recent speech in Milwaukee I discussed the troubling fact that we too often move God to the side in our public life, and gave as an example the shift of the words "In God We Trust" to the edge of the dollar coin. My comments were not about this President or this Congress – this change predated them. I was merely making a point about a disturbing trend in our country, after which I moved on to discuss some encouraging trends. People who try to read more into such straightforward comments are working hard to find a controversy where there is none.

Again, one has to wonder if the media is really this stupid.....well, you don’t have to wonder much......or if they are so desperate to find something to attack Sarah on, they have to try this hard! They can’t attack her on facts, they can’t refute some of the most compelling statements that Sarah has made this year, because time and time again, Sarah has been proven correct.

If this is all they have, if this is all they've got, taking this bunch down is going to be easier than once thought!

Sarah Palin Sets the Record Straight, Again

By Adrienne Ross - www.motivationtruth.com

Via Facebook, Sarah Palin speaks about last night's Wisconsin Right to Life event and the media's misinformation concerning it:

Great Wisconsin Event (And Setting the Record Straight, Again)

Great event last night in Wisconsin! It was an honor to meet great Americans who are working so hard to remind us of life's sanctity and value. I commend this fine state for its efforts to make our nation a more welcoming place for all children.

Let me set the record straight on the media's follow-up reports of the great event: Despite what CNN reported, decisions about not allowing cameras at the event were the prerogative of the sponsors of the event, and I, of course, respected their decision.

I am about to set out on my book tour, where media will no doubt join us at many spots. In the meantime, I ask our friends in the media once again: please quit making things up.

- Sarah Palin

PS: Attached is a photo from the event. You can read more about the excellent work the Wisconsin Right to Life does here.



Maybe adding "please" to her request that the media quit making things up will produce the desired results this time. How 'bout it, media?

The governor has set the record straight. Wasn't there a time when journalists sought to get the facts straight themselves? But then again, that was when journalism was alive. I forgot; it died in 2008.

As an aside, isn't it interesting how those who mistakenly whine and complain that Sarah Palin won't allow the media into one of her events are the same ones who whine and complain that she won't get out of the limelight? Which one is it? This is classic Palin Derangement Sydrome. Symptom #1: Loss of reasoning faculties.

Sarah Palin Speaks at Wisconsin Right to Life

By Adrienne Ross - www.motivationtruth.com

Last night Sarah Palin spoke at Wisconsin Right to Life. Fellow C4Per, K. Carpenter, was there and has provided a detailed report of what the governor spoke about. I expected her words to be passionate, heart-felt, and rooted in love for God and life. That's exactly what they were.

Carpenter writes:

Governor Palin then began to tell a story of a conversation she and one of her friends in Alaska had a few weeks ago. Her friend had picked up a couple of the relatively new $1 dollar gold colored coins. They were discussing what was missing off of the front of the coins. Those four little words that have gotten America through her most troubling moments, “In God we trust”. As she observed; those four little words have been pushed off to the side of the coin. No longer prominently displayed on the face of the coin but those words have now been hidden on the outer edge of the coin. As she observed, this is kind of where we, as a Nation, have shoved God in our own lives. She even stated that she had kind of done that with her own pro life movement. Yes, she was always pro-life but it was not really something she prominently displayed until she became pregnant with Trig.

Oh boy, when she talks about Trig, her entire persona just lights up. You can tell this woman is completely in love with that little boy. Governor Palin admitted that she was afraid before Trig was born on how she would handle a little boy with special needs. She also mentioned how she and Todd chose to work through the problems together.

The governor also spoke briefly about Bristol and the choices she had to make and the love and joy that Tripp has brought to their lives. Clearly, Governor Palin is very proud of her daughter and her grandson that is almost a year old. Governor Palin stated that people make mistakes but a beautiful child came as a result of that mistake. A mistake is no reason to take a life.

Please go over to Conservatives4Palin and read the entire article.

While there are many isssues on which individuals can agree to disagree, life is not one of them. It's too valuable, too precious, too fragile. I could rattle off a list of why I respect Sarah Palin as a leader and as a person. At the top of that list is her appreciation for life and refusal to compromise that position. She's not afraid to take a stand. Our nation needs this, and our unborn certainly do.

K. Carpenter ends her article with this:

Governor Palin left us with these words: "Don’t ever let anyone tell you to sit down and shut up”!

Don't worry, Gov, not sitting down, not shutting up, just getting started--like you.
