If it is so important to the left to stop Sarah Palin from running for President, then it is that much more important that she run - and win!

Popular conservative blogger Pamela Geller and New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer sound a wake-up call for Americans to stop the Obama administration from limiting our hard-won freedoms, silencing our democratic voices, and irreparably harming America for generations to come.
America is being tested in a way that she has never been tested before. Since taking the oath of office in January 2009, President Barack Obama has cheered our enemies and demoralized our allies. He is hard at work "remaking" America by destroying the free-market system and nationalizing major segments of our economy, demonizing dissent and restricting freedom of speech, turning against our longtime friends, and above all, subjecting us to the determinations of foreign authorities.
In this timely and urgent battle cry, Pamela Geller, founder of the widely popular website www.AtlasShrugs.com, and New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer team up to expose the Obama administration’s destructive agenda—largely ignored by the mainstream media—and rally Americans to protect the sovereignty of a country that is under siege by the highest levels of its own government. As Americans see their paychecks shrinking every day, Obama ignores our forefathers’ founding principle: individual rights. Instead, he seeks to level the playing field—to transform both the global and national landscape in favor of our enemies—even if it means cutting America off at the knees. He envisions himself as more than just a president of the United States, but as a shaper of the new world order, an internationalist energetically laying the groundwork for global government: the president of the world.
A vital guide to helping conservatives prepare for the tough battles ahead, The Post-American Presidencycritically examines the Obama administration’s ominous and revealing moves against our basic freedoms, particularly as he seizes control of the three engines of the American economy: health care, energy, and education. The Shining City on a Hill has gone dark. But America is not dead. The time is NOW to stand up and fight.
Yesterday, Governor Palin reminded Kansans to vote for Todd Tiahrt in today's election:
I want to remind the good people of Kansas to vote on Tuesday for Todd Tiahrt for U.S. Senate. He is a strong commonsense conservative who will serve Kansans with honor and help put our country on the right fiscal track. About Todd www.toddtiahrt.com Kansans for Tiahrt
Read Governor Palin's endorsement of Todd Tiahrt here.
Kansas residents, make the common sense decision. Vote Tiahrt for US Senate.
A true conservative from the state of Alaska is running for United States Senate. Joe Miller is that conservative, and he is positioned to unseat Lisa Murkowski whose record shows her to be anything but in touch with the people who sent her to Washington to represent their best interests. Rather than standing up for conservative values, she has demonstrated a Liberal bent that is not what the people of her state expected of her. This is just one reason it's Miller Time!
Listen to this radio ad which includes audio of Lisa Murkowski stating that American taxpayers are not concerned about the amount of money Congress is spending. Her attitude is precisely the problem in Washington today, precisely why common sense conservatives are counting down the days to the November mid-term elections, and precisely why Governor Palin endorsed Joe Miller.
So what are Alaskans saying? My friend, Tracey Porreca, in her article, "Another reason I'm voting for Joe Miller," gives her take on why America needs Miller in and Murkowski out. Read her article here.
Perhaps Murkowski's unacceptable voting record can best be understood by taking a look at the grades she's received from various prominent conservative organizations:
Freedom Works – F (50%) National Taxpayer's Union – D (63%) Citizens Against Government Waste – F (54%) Senate Conservatives Fund – F (50%) Eagle Forum – D (63%) American Family Association – F (33%) Family Research Council – F (55%) US Border Control – F (33%)
Murkowski's grades beg this question: is this the best we can do? The answer is a resounding, "No!" Not when there's a better a choice. Joe Miller is that choice. Alaskans, your vote impacts the entire nation. Vote Joe Miller in the August 24th Primary.
It's something I've been saying since we lost the election. Hammer it home. Don't sell Sarah Palin. Sell the people on the fact that the media lies to them. Once they realize that, they'll figure the rest out. - from a post I wrote July 21, 2010.
I don't blame people for not really knowing what it is, in some instances -- what I stand for or what my record is because if I believed everything that I read or heard in the media, I wouldn't like me either. - Sarah Palin yesterday on Fox News Sunday
I must have woken up my neighborhood yesterday morning when she said that. I yelled out one loud YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH!
Step by step, conservatives have done what I outlined on my Fight for the Right page over a year and a half ago. Andrew Breitbart (Big Journalism), Tucker Carlson (The Daily Caller), Brent Bozell (Newsbusters) and Sarah Palin have done the things necessary to help rebuild the movement by pushing back on media bias. As such, the conservative movement is alive and well, thriving nearly a year and half after being on its death bed following the election of Barack Obama.
Conservatives are doing everything they need to do to prepare ourselves to lead again when the political tides swing back our way at the ballot boxes in 2010 and 2012.
They could not do it without courage and conviction. They were not afraid to push back when liberals tried to portray them as racists, an angry mob or a bunch of dumb yahoos. They are professionals, lawyers, writers, blue collar workers, stay at home moms, rich, poor, middle class, black, white and a myriad of other races. They are America. The liberals are the dismantlers. Conservatives has shown they are willing to get their hands dirty in building it back to the way it was supposed to be.
Sarah Palin has methodically revived her image and articulated the conservative message in the face of a now dying liberal headwind. Long gone are the days when the media takes free shots at her or drives her from office by relentlessly pursuing frivolous ethics complaints against her. She has shown that she is a fighter. She has shown that she cannot be defeated. She has shown that she can lead us.

Laura was sitting in the flight operations building. She had gotten weather information, filed her flight plan, pre-flighted and ran the plane up and shut down. She reviewed the DC airspace procedures one last time. She recalled that “Sarah” had written in Going Rogue that she never seen a replay of her own GOP 2008 convention speech. Laura was going to correct that. They had watched Reagan’s Time of Choosing speech back in La Crosse....
Laura had the YouTube video ready to go on her own laptop, which she connected to the office’s big flat screen. “Sarah” entered. After greeting each other, Laura told “Sarah” she had to step away for a few minutes and started the 46-minute video.
She returned about five minutes later and sat with “Sarah” to watch the rest of the video. “Thank you, Laura!” she said when it was over.
Laura’s voice quivered slightly, “Sarah, it’s time.” Laura did not want to think about the farewell that was to be in two short hours. But, the entire point of the journey boiled down to this final flight after all. In essence, that farewell was the point. Laura had a job to do. They went to the plane, started up, and Laura got the clearance.
The flight would take off to the southwest then turn east climbing to 7,000 feet.
Over West Virginia
The flight paralleled Pennsylvania’s southern border, entering then leaving Maryland. Save for some scattered clouds, the night was clear and crisp. The controller instructed Laura to turn toward the southeast and assigned a visual approach to Reagan National’s southeast facing runway. Laura would have preferred the more southerly runway aligned with the night’s winds, but she did not request a change. The runway choice proved providential.
Initial Descent over Dulles
Laura was instructed to descend to 2000 feet. Her flight path took her right over Dulles Airport.
Following the Potomac River
Soon, Laura was following the Potomac River. Washington DC’s principal buildings started to come into view.
Cleared to Land
Her assigned runway came into view and she was cleared to land. The city’s main buildings passed by the left wing, as “Sarah” looked on.
Watergate
The hacking of "Sarah's" private email accounts in 2008 was a modern day version of Watergate. As the flight passed the complex, she renewed her vow to continue being the antithesis of what happened here so many years ago.
750 Feet to Go
Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument
George Mason and Arland Williams Bridges
Jefferson Memorial
370 Feet to Go
General Aviation Parking
As Laura pulled off to taxi to the General Aviation area, a US Airways 737 took off likely for New York or Boston. Laura would be repositioning this plane at the Flying W in southern New Jersey after a day or two.
Upon reaching General Aviation, Laura completed her post-flight checklist and started secured the plane, starting with the left wing. Unbeknownst to Laura, “Sarah” tied down the right wing, and waited as Laura went to work on the tail. When Laura swung round to the right wing, she swallowed hard, seeing that “Sarah” had done it.
Meet me here, January 20, 2021 at noon...
"Sarah" turned her and said, "thank you for all you've done. If you need something from me, let me know." Laura paused for a minute then - baiting "Sarah" - said with intonation as if "Sarah" owed her a major debt – "yes, there is something I want you to do for me!" "Sarah" was taken aback at first. Was Laura just another one of so many sycophants who would use her out then trash her to the media? This could not be happening, but somehow "Sarah" could detect the intonation was a put-on. Laura was a skilled pilot; however, she was a lousy actress, and she could not maintain the charade beyond that sentence. Her eyes filled up and she choked out, "yes, 'Sarah.' There are a few things I want from you…"
…Never change who you are. Don’t let this place change you.
…On January 20th at 12 noon in the year 2021, I want you to meet me here. I’ll have a jet. I’ll take you direct to Anchorage, then in this plane back to Wasilla. I took you out of Alaska. After you have led and served – let me take Alaska’s daughter home.
A Hug and a Salute
"Sarah's" motorcade was now on the ramp. "Sarah" walked toward Laura and gave her a long hug and said "thank you." "Sarah" turned and walked to the motorcade. Laura snapped to attention facing "Sarah" and raised her right hand in a salute and held it there. "Sarah" turned and waved back. Laura held the salute. "Sarah" entered the Suburban and closed the door. The motorcade pulled away, and Laura moved only to face it as it left, still holding the salute. When the motorcade was out of sight, Laura dropped to attention, then at ease, then normal. She savored the moment and the sweet 2 AM air.
She turned took a final look at the now empty seat once occupied by "Sarah" for 13 flights over 40 hours, gently closed the door and locked it, then locked her side.
From Her House to Her House...
It’s 3,314 nautical miles – 3,848 statute miles - from Wasilla to Washington. It took 40.3 hours all told; 9.1 hours of instrument flight, and 13 hours of night flight to bring "Sarah" from her house to her house (from January 20, 2013 - till January 20, 2021)….
Last year, the Alaska Fund Trust was established to raise money to defend Gov. Palin against frivolous ethics complaints and lawsuits that were filed against her in a coordinated effort to drive her out of office. On June 24, 2010, the Alaska Fund Trust was replaced by Sarah Palin Legal Defense Fund. Those of you who donated to the Alaska Fund Trust will be receiving refunds within 90 days from June 24. You will have the option to re-donate these funds to the new Sarah Palin Legal Defense Fund, which is the official, and legitimate fund now in existence. Please re-donate those funds to the Sarah Palin Legal Defense Fund.
Jan Brewer has the cojones that our President does not have, to look out for all Americans, not just Arizonans, but all Americans in this desire of ours to secure our borders and allow legal immigration to help build this country.
~ Sarah Palin
In an interview with Chris Wallace for Fox News Sunday Sarah Palin blasts Barack Obama for propensity to blame President George W Bush for his own failures. She rightly points out that Obama was a United States Senator, and part of the Marxist-democrat controlled Congress that created many of the problems we are facing today.
Sarah also takes a big swipe at Obama's very manhood when talking about the situation in Arizona, and the nation as a whole.
When talking about the economy, Sarah said the democrats were "all wet" on plans to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire. "It's idiotic to think about increasing taxes at a time like this." Wallace then repeated the Marxist-democrat spin that keeping the tax cuts would raise the deficit. This is, of course, nonsense. The reason unemployment is so high is businesses, especially small businesses are scared. The situation is so unstable they simply don't want to hire, or make large capital purchases. Low taxes means they can afford to hire, and more people working, and buying things add to the tax revenue.
It's a proven fact that lower tax rates see an increase of receipts to the treasury and higher taxes see less. This was true when Kennedy lowered taxes, when Reagan lowered taxes, and of course, when Bush lowered taxes. The only way to control the deficit is to cut the insane runaway spending the Obama regime has embarked on.
Of course, Wallace brought up 2012. Now most are looking forward to a presidential run by Sarah in 2012. We feel she will be one of the finest Presidents we've had in quite some time, and her record certainly backs that theory up. With that said, she, like the rest of us, is focused on November 2010 like a laser. If Conservatives don't take back Congress in 2010, there probably won't be anything left to be President of in 2012.
Loved her answer about polling, and she takes a nice hit at the lies the media conspired to tell, with their coordination through Journolist.
Interviews like this are exactly why we support Sarah Palin strongly. This is a woman that doesn't mince words and doesn't talk a bunch of nonsense. Sarah Palin is a strong leader who DOES have the cojones to look out for all Americans on every issue we face. She is a true leader.
I've been thinking a lot about how to get the federal government under control. So much bureaucracy is not going to be easy to unwind, but I have a few ideas.
First off, what should the Executive branch look like? What departments are truly necessary for the things that a national government should concern itself with? What about:
1. Defense - It used to be called the Department of War. That's a good [re-] start. Homeland Security should be part of it's purview, not a bunch of bureaucrats that manage our transportation system and their supporting unions.
2. Commerce - There needs to be a return to PROMOTING commerce as opposed to regulating it, which is all the Commerce Department does nowadays. I could spend a few months in the Commerce Department and streamline their reporting mandates in a way that PROMOTED commerce. The existing efforts stifle it. It's a pet peeve of mine.
3. Treasury - The Treasury Department needs to manage the finances of our national government and not anything else. How in the hell did we get to a point where the Treasury Department is managing our entire economy? This has to stop! I could go on and on about all the ridiculous federal bureaucracies that fall under this department (FNMA and FHMC come to mind) and need to go.
4. Foreign Affairs - I think that the State Department needs to go in its present form. What we really need is a department to manage our foreign affairs. It should operate within the dictates of our national interests, not as a cabal of bureaucrats that patronize left-wing dictatorships. If a foreign country is all-in for capitalism, we should be all-in for supporting them. Why waste time and resources on a country that doesn't support our national interests in a market-based economy?
Anyway, I hope you get my drift. Re-establish priorities and put them in place. Once you've done that, staff the departments in a way to further the goals of that department.
Unions are not welcome. They should be abolished from any form of government. There should be absolutely no negotiating on this point. Working for any level of government is a service to your country, your state or your local jurisdiction. Unions do not have a place in this service. They are anathema to our Constitution.
Once you've established the proper departments of the Executive branch and staffed them to the level needed to perform their functions (within their established budgets), cut the rest free. This may displace thousands of governments workers, but they really need to be in the private sector anyway.
Freeze all government pensions that are not part of the surviving structure. They get what they get, as of their termination date. Why should they be treated any differently than private sector employees?
Now, you'll notice that I have not talked about entitlements. There's a reason for that. As of [name your date], they cease to continue. Notice that I didn't say "cease to exist". There are far too many citizens of this great country that accepted the "New Deal" and planned accordingly. They should NOT be penalized. Anyone over the age of 65 years old needs to be "grand-fathered". Anyone younger than that needs to have their contributions to Social Security transferred to an account that THEY control.
Going forward, there is no Medicare or Social Security, as we know it. What is in its place is a actuary-based system that weans people off the government dole and places them in a privatized system. I have the utmost confidence that our free enterprise system will find a way to assist them, albeit at a price.
So, who is positioned to lead this charge?
I can only think of one, and her name is Sarah Palin.
Who is the one that espouses all that is the free market? Who is the one to focus our attention on the roots of our society? Who is the one that "gets it" and opposes the ruling elite? Who is the one that speaks to our values and stands opposed to a mosque at Ground Zero? Who is the one to stand up for our Christian beliefs? Who is the one that stands willing to battle a progressive ideology? Who is the only one committed to unite us in conquering our socialist foes?
Who amongst us hails from Alaska, the last bastion of rugged individualism?
