Palin Kicks off NewsMax's "Make America Great Again"

Palin Interview with Michael Reagan Excerpt retrieved from NewsMax

Gov. Palin's interview with Michael Reagan covering ObamaCare, Iran, the economy, creeping Shariah, and a possible Palin presidency on NewsMax aired today at 13:00 (1 PM) EDT. David Patten, NewsMax, covered key points of the interview, which I watched in its entirety.

Iran

"I say this with first the preface that I hate war, and I hate the idea of our innocent blood being shed, and yet I realize that yes a military option has to be on the table. Joe Lieberman was right when he 'yes the negotiations, the sanctions, all that - yes we have to try that' - of course the military option has to be on the table, and these evil, evil dictators - is what I would call them - these evil men who would think that they are going to control America and make us fearful, no we have to rise up and we have to show our steel spine," Gov. Palin said.

"Israel needs us; we need Israel...the allies need to be working together" she said. "We have to recognize that a nuclear weapon in that country's hands is not just Israel's problem or America's problem, it is the world's problem," Gov. Palin said. "It could lead to that Armageddon; it could lead to World War III that could decimate so much of this planet."



Shariah

Michael Reagan spoke about French concerns over Shariah law taking a foothold in their country and how Newt Gingrich also spoke about it happening here.

"Americans will never stand for Shariah being the law of the land, whether it be affecting a segment of the population, a demographic, certainly not in its entirety all over our country. Americans will not stand for this, because Americans are smart enough to know - Shariah law if that were to be adopted - allowed to govern in our country - it will be the downfall of America, and too many Americans are on to this already and are starting to rise up and send the message to our federal officials that no, we will not put up with any hint of Shariah law being any sort of law of the land," Gov. Palin said.

ObamaCare and Death Panels

"I was about laughed out of town for bringing to light what I called death panels because there's going to be faceless bureaucrats who will based on cost analysis and some subjective ideas — somebody's productivity in life — somebody is going to call the shots to whether your loved one will be able to receive health care or not: to me, death panels. I called it like I saw it and people didn't like it," Gov. Palin said.

Tea Party

Michael Reagan asked if Gov. Palin thought the Tea Party could maintain itself as it is or if it would have to grow into a third party. Gov. Palin spoke about how the Whig Party died in 1860 and became what is now the Republican Party with Abraham Lincoln as the the GOP's first President. The Whig Party died, she said, because it did not follow the will of the people. But, Gov. Palin said "I don't believe the Tea Party needs to become a party with positions, titles, and power struggles within." To the contrary, the grassroots nature of the Tea Party is its beauty holding both parties accountable.

Ronald Reagan's Effect on Gov. Palin as a Child

Gov. Palin came of political age at the height of the Reagan presidency. She said this was the time when she really learned about good and evil. "It was Ronald Reagan leading our country toward that good, toward that optimism; I believe I have greatly benefited from the influence of Ronald Reagan," she said.

"Ronald Reagan left us with a blueprint of how to do things right."

Michael Reagan invited Gov. Palin to visit the Reagan ranch and suggested she visit the USS Ronald Reagan.



On a Palin 2012 Presidential Run and Presidency

"It isn't my call. It's the people of America, whether they would be ready for someone a bit unconventional, a bit out of the box, being used to taking on the establishment on both sides of the aisle, or if they want someone a little more conventional, maybe a little more electable."

Bristol Palin Secures 8,000 Facebook Friends in 18 Days

Eighteen days and approximately 11 hours after launching her official Facebook Page, Bristol Palin already has 8,000 friends. The milestone was achieved October 12, 2010 at 0121 (1:21 AM) EDT. Bristol had secured 7,000 friends on October 5 at approximately 1712 (5:12 PM) EDT.

Bristol, who is Gov. Palin's eldest daughter, launched her page on Tuesday, September 21 at 1442 (2:42 PM) EDT. She is a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, and an advocate against teen pregnancy for the Candies Foundation.

Playing the Media Game, and Winning

When the Democrat National Committee named Celtic Diva of Blue Oasis as their official Alaska blogger, little did they know that they inadvertently created an environment ripe for hundreds of conservative blogs which would sprout up quickly following the 2008 election. Conservatives might have been beaten and down after that fateful day in November, but when the loudmouths of the left continued their vicious assaults, particularly on Sarah Palin, conservatives responded. The cyber battlefield stage was set and activists who were rising up on the right were about to get the most politically active they have ever been in their life.

When President Obama talked about "hand to hand combat" in the halls of Congress which would follow huge Republican gains in November, it reminded this blogger about the keyboard to keyboard combat that we have been watching in the blogosphere for the last two years.

The liberals easily owned the right in cyberspace prior to Obama's election. Conservatives and Republicans were the silent majority who had jobs, families and lives. They didn't see a need to blog. They assumed that most Americans saw it the way they did - as grown ups.

But that changed the day the Alaska bloggers and the bloggers who post over on the Daily Kos went overboard. The Tea Party movement was picking up steam and the hundreds of thousands who attended Sarah Palin rallies when she was on the trail with McCain became part of the movement and eventually watched as their leader became a prominent player in the grassroots backlash to the liberal policies of the Obama administration. Sarah Palin was vilified. The Tea Party was vilified. The Alaska bloggers and their counterparts in the lower 48 were getting free coverage by a mainstream media that was all but glad to run with stories about Tea partiers spewing racial epithets and Sarah Palin being under federal indictment.

But the tide has turned.

Today there are hundreds of conservative blogs which are energized by articulate people who have become politically active out of necessity. There is a country to save.

The liberal blogs still spew their hate, but it is regurgitated hate now. They've run out of ammo. They may have even run out of things to make up. They were the masters of cyberspace two years ago. Today, they are overshadowed by the focus on the facts that has become the acid that burns the written products of their relentless lying.

With strokes of the keyboard and clicks of the mouse, Sarah Palin leads her minions from her Facebook page. Palinistas debunk liberal myths and clang their swords of words with the left, always softening the battlefield for the wielding of the rhetorical Excalibur from Alaska that mainfests itself in a tweet or a Facebook posting that finishes the job.

Sarah Palin is a case study in how to beat the smear machine. Most people would have been destroyed by the relentless battering she has taken. Dan Quayle, Newt Gingrich and George W. Bush can attest to that. Although, Gingrich is making a comeback, the rise and fall of a great Speakership was contingent on the dissatisfaction of the mainstream media with a conservative revival that threatened its elitist hold on the electorate.

When that happened again, the media unsheathed their swords and politically bloodied one of the greatest warriors to appear in the arena since Ronald Reagan. That warrior tended to her wounds and came out stronger, faster, more savvy than ever. She was big in 2008. She's even bigger now. She will be even bigger in 2012.

They can't stop her now. They've tried everything and it doesn't work anymore.

Sarah Palin is not only a survivor of the media smear campaign. She is a teacher as well. Today, she advises political candidates, particularly women, how to survive the media beatings. She has helped the likes of Rand Paul, Carly Fiorina, Nikki Haley and Christine O'Donnell.

Sean Hannity asked Sarah Palin "what advice do you give -- you have lived under fire -- to those candidates that now are going to be the victims of these smears?" Palin responded:

Yes, well, remember, what they are doing. This is coming from Obama's presidential campaign book, which goes back to Alinsky's campaign book, "Rules for Radicals," which Obama and Michelle Obama have quoted from. And that is, the politics of personal destruction perhaps will be the only thing that you have on your opponent so you make things up about them.

You lie, you spin, you do whatever you can and you use a complicit media to assist you in this, a left-wing media to assist you in this. So these candidates just need to be prepared for those rules of radical to be applied to them. They need to stay on message, they need to stay optimistic. They need to remind the American public what the time-tested truths are that created this great nation.

This is music to the ears of conservative bloggers who have been researching and exposing the media lies and conspiracies.

Liberal bloggers no longer have their vile reported on mainstream media outlets unchallenged.

The one who they have tried to destroy is now stronger than ever. With her stilleto heel firmly on the throat of the "lamestream media," Palin has gone from being the hunted to being the hunter.

The truth is powerful once effectively articulated. Sarah Palin has become a modern day great communicator. Facts and truth are more potent weapons than lies and smears. And she wields these weapons with surgical precision.

Bristol Palin & Mark Ballas Rumba in the Night

The dynamic dancing duo of Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas are well-positioned to move into Week Five following their beautiful performance of the Rumba tonight. Governor Palin, Todd and Piper Palin were all present tonight to see Bristol and Mark's performance.



As of this writing, Bristol has 7,902 Facebook friends and is knocking on 8,000's door. Bristol had achieved her 7,000th friend on the social network on October 5, 2010. She cut a music video, had two interviews and delivered a pro-life speech at the Perry Center last week.

More Great Candidates to Support This Year

Governor Palin today posted on Facebook:

I’ve just finished up another great week of travel across our country. From Florida to California, the feeling is unmistakable. A commonsense grassroots movement is determined to get our country back to its founding principles and constitutional roots. I hope you’ll join me in supporting a few more patriots this November – because we need their voices and their votes in DC.



John Raese for U.S. Senate in West Virginia

The last thing Washington, DC needs is another rubber-stamp vote for President Obama and the liberal agenda. John Raese has the courage and independence to stand up to the Washington politics of Reid and Pelosi. He’ll do what’s right for West Virginia. Please visit John’s web at www.raeseforsenate.org and follow him on Facebook and Twitter.

Dan Benishek for Congress in Michigan

There’s a lot of talk about the race in Michigan’s 1st Congressional District. Dr. Dan Benishek is the kind of commonsense voice we need in Washington to replace the retiring Bart Stupak. As a physician, he understands why Obamacare must be repealed and replaced with true health care reform. Dan is determined to work to get our country’s fiscal house in order. As a self-described “hunter and fisherman and proud member of the NRA,” he’s great for Michigan 1st District, which like Alaska, is home to outdoor enthusiasts who love their hunting and fishing. Please visit Dan’s website at www.benishekforcongress.com and follow him on Facebook and Twitter.

Keith Fimian for Congress in Virginia

Keith Fimian will be an important check on Congress for residents of the Commonwealth. The differences in this campaign are clear: his opponent supports job-killing cap-and-tax, wasteful stimulus spending, and the massive federal overreach on our health care system. Keith Fimian is not a career politician and has actually created private-sector jobs. Please visit Keith’s website at www.keithfimian.com and follow him on Facebook and Twitter.

Ruth McClung & Janet Contreras for Congress in Arizona

Ruth McClung is the smart choice for Congress in southwestern Arizona. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that our country is on the wrong track under the leadership of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid; but Ruth actually is a rocket scientist! Ruth’s commonsense fiscal approach to job creation and reining in reckless government spending is in sharp contrast to her opponent’s liberal record. In fact, Ruth is running against a four term incumbent who is so out of touch that he actually called for a boycott of his own constituents. It’s simple: The people of Arizona’s 7th Congressional District deserve better. Please visit Ruth’s website at www.ruth4az.com and follow her on Facebook and Twitter.

Janet Contreras is not a politician; she’s a working mother, grandmother, and a former small business owner. She’s like many of the patriots I meet all across this country – frustrated, disappointed, and doing something about it. Many of you will remember Janet from the letter she wrote expressing concern for the direction the country was moving in. Glenn Beck read the letter on his show and later interviewed her. Janet will be a smart, straight-forward, honest, and independent voice for Arizona’s 4th Congressional District. Please visit Janet’s website at www.vote4janet.com and follow her on Facebook and Twitter.

Ray McKinney for Congress in Georgia

We can count on Ray McKinney to be a strong, independent voice for Georgia’s 12th Congressional District. As Ray says, “If you like the way things are going now, vote for the other guy.” Ray’s opponent has skipped over 75 votes in Congress since 2005, and he’s ducking debates when Georgians want answers. Had enough? Join me in supporting Ray McKinney. Please visit Ray’s website at www.raymckinney.org and follow him on Facebook and Twitter.

Alan Nunnelee & Bill Marcy for Congress in Mississippi

Congress could use more leaders like Alan Nunnelee. Alan is a steady, conservative leader that Mississippi can depend on. His opponent stands with Nancy Pelosi and other national Democrats; Mississippi’s 1st Congressional District deserves a leader who will stand with them. Please visit Alan’s website at www.nunneleeforcongress.com and follow him on Facebook and Twitter.

I had the privilege of meeting Bill Marcy at the Restoring Honor rally in August. Bill is tough - a former cop who walked a beat in Chicago – and he’s the got the values and judgment Congress needs. I’m proud to join so many others in supporting his campaign to represent Mississippi’s 2nd Congressional District. Please visit Bill’s website at www.billmarcyforcongress.net and follow him on Facebook and Twitter.

Morgan Philpot for Congress in Utah

Ten years ago, Morgan Philpot brought his message of “Faith, Family, Future” to the Utah state legislature. Since then, Morgan has been a reliable, conservative leader for Utah. Now he’s running to represent Utah’s 2nd Congressional District. We can count on Morgan to make the right choices to bring our country back. Please visit Morgan’s website at www.philpotforcongress.com and follow him on Facebook and Twitter.

Let’s keep the momentum going as November 2nd approaches.
