Alaska Democrats Trying to Silence Palin

The Democrats are at it again. They just keep making up stuff – trying to blame Sarah Palin for anything and everything they can dream up. Why? It’s simple. She is the single greatest threat to their and Obama’s agenda to transform this free nation into a socialist state. Sarah Palin is the one Republican who can defeat Obama in the 2012 presidential election. So they want to take her down.

And they’ve tried every hook and crook, every smear and lie, they can dream up to discredit Sarah Palin. Their poison barbs go out over the Internet on a daily basis. Some are outright lies; some border on the ridiculous.

In Governor Palin’s home state of Alaska, the news media and a tightknit group of bloggers/Democrat operatives have launched many of the attacks. One of these bloggers, Shannyn Moore, writes for the Huffington Post, which slanders and denigrates Sarah Palin on a regular basis. Moore described the group of Alaska bloggers (sometimes referred to as the Alaska Mafia) this way:

Feeling like an endangered species, Alaska progressives are tight. The Alaska Bloggers are tighter. Right after the nomination of Sarah Palin for VP, Wasilla blogger, musician, professor, and all around renaissance man, Phil Munger, threw a party at his home-the first of many. Secrecies were sworn; we were not alone in front of our computers-we had each other; Mudflats, Immoral Minority, Writing Raven, Celtic Diva, Progressive Alaska, Alaska Report, What Do I Know, and myself, Just a Girl From Homer. Documentary crews interviewed us and protected anonymous identities at the time.

Add to that list The Alaska Dispatch. If you run a search for articles about Governor Palin there, you will see regular and blatant attacks against the Governor. One such attack occurred today in the form of a story by Joshua Saul about an isolated incident that the Alaska Democratic Party is trying to fan into an accusation that Governor Palin incited it. (Joshua Saul can be reached at jsaul(at)alaskadispatch.com for comment, by the way.) Saul’s article links to another biased article on the blog.

It is quite obvious what is going on. Obama and the Democratic Party want to shut Sarah Palin up The Democratic Party poured a disproportionate amount of funds into Alaska during the 2008 election. And Governor Palin’s home state remains one of the targeted areas for the attacks against her. The first indication of something that didn’t smell just right was Obama’s direct involvement in Troopergate. Then just recently, his power grab at the Alaska Pipeline, Governor Palin’s signature achievement.

If you want to know who is behind all the lies and distortions about Sarah Palin, follow the money. Authors at A Time for Choosing, Conservatives for Palin, Texas4Palin, and elsewhere have done just that, and have come up with some rather stunning revelations. I’ve put together a mini-bibliography of articles that reveal the coordinated attacks on Governor Palin by the liberal media, Alaska bloggers, the Democratic Party, George Soros (self-proclaimed “owner” of the Democratic Party), and Barack Hussein Obama. Those that follow the money trail are marked appropriately: $$$. Also included are articles that describe threats against Governor Palin and the Tea Party.

It all adds up. Sarah Palin is the one vocal political figure who calls it like she sees it and has the backbone to stand tall and oppose the socialist agenda that Pelosi’s Democrats and Obama are trying to force upon the American people against their will. And Sarah Palin is the one political figure who has the integrity, charisma, and popular support to defeat Obama in 2012. May God grant that it be so!

Conservative Girl with a Voice and 25,000 of her Closest Friends Invade Harry Reid's Hometown

What a sight to behold. Men and women of every age, race and color. Children, some of whom were not yet old enough to walk. Moms pushing strollers along a never-ending, bumpy road along side a two lane traffic-filled highway. Dads educating their sons about America and what she stands for. Grandmas waving flags patriotically while their husbands talked about the good ol' days when men and women strived to achieve the American dream. Individuals with special needs who smiled and held out a hand whenever a new friend passed by along the way. The veterans, many of whom wore veteran caps, whose love for their country was clearly evident in the way they talked about the wars in which they fought for the freedoms we now enjoy and hold most dear. The dogs, many of which were dressed up in patriotic t-shirts happily wagged their tails and licked the hands of children nearby. My fellow Americans, the Tea Party Express event that took place in Searchlight, Nevada, this passed Saturday March 27th was truly a modern-day Conservative Woodstock. An event so huge that people parked and walked what seemed like miles just to get in. I have always been a proud American, and I love my country, but what I experienced this past Saturday has made me an even prouder American and even more grateful to our founders and the Constitution to which our country is based.

For those of you who have never been to Searchlight, Nevada, you need to realize that this little town, population 798, is in the middle of the desert. Picture a deserted area somewhere in the desert and then picture a small town in the middle of this deserted land, and fellow readers, you have Searchlight U.S.A. For one day, for a brief moment in time, this little town became a monument for the Conservative Movement and the future of the tea party movement as a whole. This little desert became the location of an event so huge that its effects will be felt for days. For just a few hours, people from all walks of life, gender and faiths trekked up a deserted highway as if they were apart of a parade, or better yet- a pilgrimage through a desolate land. I will never forget the line of vehicles with the most patient of people inside, many of whom were in awe at what they were witnessing. Like them, I couldn't believe the enthusiasm around me. Like many, I have attended tea parties for months dating back to April 15th, 2009, but the Searchlight Tea Party was different for many reasons. Sure, it was being held in Harry Reid's hometown and the intensity level was at an all-time high at the thought of booting the Nevada senator's tush to the curb, but what really got me was the distances some traveled just to be there in this promise land of sorts where everyone gathered for a common purpose, a common goal. I met people from all over our great country. A woman from Anchorage, Alaska, a couple who, like me, traveled from San Diego , a family from Utah and even a woman from Georgia. I wouldn't be surprised if each and every one of our 50 states was represented there. This voyage united us all, for we were all there as Americans- Americans concerned about the direction our country is headed.

The multitude of signage was phenomenal. Signs with phrases like Real Men Honor the Constitution, God is in Control, Harry Reid has Taxed Me to Death, Sarah is Right, and the classic Don't Tread on Me were just some of my favorites. As I watched everyone around me, the media repeatedly came to my mind. The media and liberal left who continually try to act as if the tea party movement is an Astroturf movement in which people are basically bribed to show up and participate. Let me tell you something: The event I witnessed this past Saturday was as far from an Astroturf event as they come. Astroturf is fake, hard and cold. The tea party movement is a grassroots movement that is authentic, real and growing hotter by the day. There is no denying the fundamental point that Astroturf DOES NOT grow, and if the Searchlight tea party event is any indication, this grassroots movement IS growing and will continue to do so. The difference between liberals and tea party attendees is simple: When liberals get mad, they resort to lying, name-calling and violence. When tea party attendees get angry, they take peaceful action. They gather their loved ones together, and they set out on a voyage where they meet like-minded individuals who love their country and want to set it back on the right course toward fiscal conservatism and smaller government. They chart a course because they want the day to come when their elected officials will actually start LISTENING to them instead of IGNORING them. This is a course that adheres to the constitution instead of ignoring it. This is a course that promotes the use of an individual's First-Amendment right as the fundamental way in which individuals have the ability and the right to stand up and speak out without being told to sit down and shut up. Fellow readers, the left wants us to do just that. They want us to forfeit and take our flags and go home. They want us to roll up our signs and throw them in the recycling bin, but we know better. We know change- real change- is coming, and we know the only way to succeed is to keep up the good and noble fight and not fall prey to the left's attempt to bury us into the earth so many among us have fought to protect with their own sweat and tears.

The men, women and children who attended the Searchlight rally came because they WANTED TOO. They felt compelled to come and witness history in the making. The people I spoke with each had his or her own reason for being there. The majority of individuals came out on this windy, cold day and gathered on this dusty desert floor to let Harry Reid know that they were no longer going to let him abuse his senate powers and the constitution to which our country is based. To put it kindly, these people are pissed off. They are sick and tired of the fat cats in Washington. Our elected officials should be working FOR us, not AGAINST us. One gentleman whom I spoke with believes that Washington changes elected officials. Whether or not we want to admit it, this gentleman is right. Many politicians run with good intentions. They run with the hope of representing their constituents to the best of their ability, but as soon as they get to Washington, the power and greed overtake them. They lose sight of why they were elected, and they let the power and greed seep deep into their veins. Now, I don't know Harry Reid. Maybe he ran for office because, like me, he wanted to make a difference. Although this may have been his intention, it is no secret that he has lost his way. His hometown of Searchlight, Nevada, is a humble place people usually drive right by without a second thought. Just like many other small mining towns in America, it gets overlooked. It is in an isolated part of Nevada, which ironically seems to symbolize Harry Reid- a man whose approval rating is at around eight percent. Perhaps Harry Reid should do what I, and thousands of others did yesterday, and pay his hometown a visit. Maybe he'd learn a thing or two. Visit the corner gas station, or maybe grab a coffee in the cafe. Perhaps he should stop by the casino for a bite to eat. Would he learn what I learned yesterday? Would he learn that those who live in his little hometown and little cities like it all around America are hard-working family types who are living paycheck to paycheck. Sure, he has his supporters. We were all welcomed to such a large outpouring of Harry Reid supporters- 30 in all (and that's being generous) as we made our way through one of the town’s only four-way stop signs. After rolling down our windows, waving and telling the protesters "God bless you" and " Isn't it great we live in a place were we can voice our First-Amendment right," we couldn't help, but giggle at the jeers we got back. I found it ironic that these same people who call us angry mobsters, were the individuals who illustrated the most anger. These same individuals who call us violent right-wing extremists and racists were the same individuals who decided to throw eggs at the Tea Party Express bus as it departed Searchlight. I guarantee the mainstream, or as Sarah Palin correctly calls them "lamestream media" were not going give this insane act the attention it correctly deserved. Instead, they would rather accuse tea party attendees like myself of being racist and anti-American. Well, maybe they should listen to what Sarah told that heckler in Arizona: "Stick around, maybe you'll learn something." I, for one, sure learned something yesterday. I learned how much I love my country. I learned about how beautiful, how authentic the entire tea party movement is. This is a movement that started small and has grown to a massive movement without a single leader. This movement doesn't need a leader because it has thousands of leaders all over this great land. Men, women, children and their pets. These same individuals who walked in from miles back just to gather peacefully and speak out about the fears they have for the direction this country is headed.

These are the same individuals who cheered, laughed and cried when Sarah addressed the crowd. Sarah's speech was phenomenal. While I have met her in the past, this was the first time, I had the honor to see her speak live. It was so amazing! As soon as they began to address her as "Todd's wife; Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig's mom; and Tripp's grandma, the crowd erupted with the loudest cheers and applause. You had to be there, for it was a moment that I will NEVER forget. People were there to voice their First-Amendment right AND to see her; she was truly the woman of the hour. Woodstock may have had Joe Cocker, but the tea party movement can say they have Sarah Palin, and boy, did she give a great speech. She spoke for about a half hour about the importance of love for God and country, for the need to boot Harry out, for the importance of the tea party movement, and for the unfortunate way in which tea party attendees are being unfairly attacked. She thanked us for attending and continuing to stand up and speak out. It was so cool to be there. As she spoke, five jets wrote messages in puffy, white smoke above in the crystal-blue sky. One of the messages read Thank you, Sarah Palin. Another read, God bless Sarah Palin. I learned later that night from a friend that Sarah looked up to the sky at one point and blushed, and I have a feeling she was looking at what was being written. She was overwhelmed at just how amazing the whole event was. It was during her speech that I developed shivers and had tears in my eyes. It finally hit me, and I was overwhelmed at just how BIG this movement really is. There were many other great patriots who spoke that day. People like Andrew Breitbart, Hannah Giles, Victoria Jackson, Joe the Plumber, Danny Tarkanian (whom I’m trying to get on Camille Friend and my radio show), as well as many other great Americans. It was truly a great day. I even ran into California Senate Candidate Chuck Devore and his family as I was walking into the event. We had been tweeting back and forth the whole morning, and I had been passing along traffic updates to them as well, so we laughed about how many people showed up and how windy and chilly it was.

Don't let the pundits and msm tell you that only 7,000 people showed up yesterday. I was there, and I can testify that there were at least 20,000 people there if not more. This is huge when you take into account that this event was held in the boonies, in the desert, in the middle of nowhere right to the side of a two lane road. I will never forget the excitement level. I will never forget how safe I felt with those around me. I bonded with the individuals I spoke with, and while I will probably never see them again, we will forever be connected. Another thing I want to mention is just how patriotic and kind those in attendance were. One incident comes to mind. Being the high-energy girl I am, I didn't bring a chair, and the gentleman next to me asked if I wanted to sit in his. This one person is an indication of just how great the people in attendance were. We were even lucky enough to see a protester, and you know how violent and angry us tea party attendees are, right? We were so mean that we allowed the guy to parade his sign around, and no one confronted him or threatened him because like us, he was there voicing his First-Amendment right, and fellow readers, that is our beautiful God-given right; that is what makes America-America. Yeah, based upon this event, I’d say us tea party folks are pretty downright evil aren't we? Were so evil that we give up our seats for our fellow man and allow others to protest us. So much for the media even attempting to get it right. If the media wanted to report their stories in a straightforward, objective manner, they would be reporting just how neat, polite and intelligent we really are, but the media do not want the truth out there because they know that if the real story got out, they would be toast. Millions would learn how corrupt and biased the lamestream media really are.

I thank God each and everyday that I live in a country where I can stand up tall and freely speak out. Nobody should be told to shut up and sit down if they are simply speaking out on policies to which they disagree. The people who gathered yesterday gathered together in a united front. Whatever the media report, know this: There were no acts of violence yesterday; there were no threats, only promises. We CAN guarantee that come this November, the democrats WILL be shaking in their boots. The democrats WILL lose seats, and the democrats WILL finally realize they were downright WRONG when they called the tea party movement a fringe group that will have no effect on upcoming elections. I'm predicting right now that if the Republicans continue to listen to the American people and chart a course back down the path of Ronald Reagan, we WILL win. In the end, Sarah Palin is right: "No matter how tough it gets, never retreat, instead RELOAD!”

Where Does Obama's Loyalty Lie?

In May 2008 Candidate Obama was photographed walking with a copy of "The Post-American World" by Fareed Zakaria. Monte Kuligowski in an American Thinker article, "Obama's Post-American World," questioned how this man running to be our president would read a book about a post-American world (Kuligowski, 2009, ¶10). His choice of reading material was only one of many warning signs pointing to a man whose loyalty lies not with the United States, but elsewhere.

Kuligowski delineated in 18 paragraphs the complete ideology that underpins Obama's policies. Here are three of the most salient ones:

We must recognize that Obama's domestic policies overlap with his global ideology. In Obama's world, the pie is not growing, and everyone should have the same-sized slice. Spreading the wealth around via excessive taxation, unfortunately for those hoping in hope, will lead to a lack of production and prosperity. It will not create equal slices, but instead shrink the American pie (Kuligowski, 2009, ¶5).

Mr. Obama needs a weak America to facilitate his view of global multiculturalism. No country is better than any other. So-called evil regimes are really dispossessed nations that need to be understood and brought to the table. Once at the table, we will see that our mutual interests make self-interests innocuous. Old views of American exceptionalism are simply worn out (Kuligowski, 2009, ¶6).

The President is a creature of postmodern, post-Christian thinking. He is a new kind of leftist. Barack Hussein Obama is essentially a global Marxist. On a global scale, the proletariat consists of the poor nations of the world that have been oppressed by powerful, greedy, self-interested countries. The United States is the prime example of the global bourgeoisie. The evil, capitalistic country, still high on religious opium, represents all that is wrong with the world (Kuligowski, 2009, ¶7).

In April 2009, Obama was gifted with a copy of "Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent" written in Spanish. Granted, Obama does not understand Spanish and it is safe to say he has not read the book. But, Open Veins is something he would agree wholeheartedly with. The premise of Open Veins is that the US among other countries exploited Latin America - the proletariat nations "oppressed by powerful, greedy self-interested countries" Kuligowski referred to (Tapper and Miller, 2009, ¶1-12). Chavez who heads an authoritarian communist regime is in bed with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. At a UN meeting, Chavez referred to President Bush as "the devil" and routinely railed at the United States as being an "evil imperialist" nation. Sound familiar?

Socialist in the White House

"Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right," Chavez quipped in a June 2009 broadcast (Pretel, 2009, ¶3). "During a decade in government, Chavez has nationalized most of Venezuela's key economic sectors, including multibillion dollar oil projects, often via joint ventures with the private sector that give the state a 60 percent controlling stake." (Pretel, 2009, ¶4).

Speaking of "Comrade Castro," guess who gave ObamaCare high accolades? Why, "Comrade Castro" of course.



Mike Brownfield of Heritage Foundation wrote, "According to an Associated Press report, Castro hailed Obamacare as “a miracle” and “an important battle and a success of (Obama’s) government. Castro went on to favorably compare President Obama’s health care plan to the one Cuba enacted a half century ago" (Brownfield, 2010, ¶2-3).

The foregoing is just a brief summary of the Marxist ideology that underpins everything Obama does. When he was inaugurated, Obama swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic. But his actions, and prior nefarious associations clearly indicate that his loyalty is not to our country. On Thursday, Obama snubbed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a dinner in the White House. He eschews allies like the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, and Israel. He prefers the likes of the Castro brothers, Hugo Chavez, and Islamic dictators, many of whom fuse communism with Islam.

One bumper sticker turned the name "Obama" into an acronym: "One Big A-- Mistake America." O.B.A.M.A. indeed....

This is My President...



She leads in order to serve, not in order to rule. On the day this photo was taken, she could have been feasting on caviar and drinking Dom Pérignon with the elites in Washington D.C. and primping herself for a presidential run. Gov. Palin in coordination with Samaritan's Purse led a humanitarian mission to distressed villages in remote areas of Alaska to ensure that families there could survive the severe winter. Kneeling before this child to hold her was arguably Gov. Palin's finest hour. My president knows how to prioritize.





A good Commander cares for her troops and elevates them.



There is absolutely no doubt about where my President's loyalty is. She understands that American exceptionalism is timeless. Never will she diminish our standards to "level the playing field."



My President knows the root cause of 9/11 and will fight to destroy it till the day she draws her final breath. My President reads about American heroes. The book in her hand is: The Book of Mychal: The Surprising Life and Heroic Death of Father Mychal Judge.

Summary:

Between Gov. Palin and Obama, there are no pale pastels. The differences are bold and stark. One is a Marxist bent on achieving global equality by diminishing and tearing down the nation he swore to serve. He snubs friends and welcomes enemies. He leads to rule. The other is a Reagan conservative who knows that under the right stewardship our best days are still ahead. She knows that "pretty good" is not good enough, that it is in fact "pretty bad." She knows we are a beacon of hope and freedom in the world; that we are a force for good. She knows that peace is achieved through strength.

So who is fit to serve? Where do their priorities and loyalties lie?

Palm Sunday: Isn't That Just Like Folks?

By Adrienne Ross - www.motivationtruth.com

Palm Sunday: The same people who shouted, "Hosanna!" cried out, "Crucify Him!" just a few days later. Isn't that just like folks? But Jesus prevailed, and as long as you walk with Him, you will too.

Matthew 21:8-11:

8And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

9And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

10And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

11And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

This season is a precious time for Christians. No cross = no hope. Empty grave = hope eternal! Thank God for that promise of hope and new life.

Just a little while ago, Governor Palin tweeted:

On Palm Sunday remember Faith,real Hope&Redemption promise. Easter season celebrates new life;look for it,count on Faith to pull u through

Amen! Now, that's what I'm talking about! Speak the Truth with boldness!

Governor Palin Lights Up Searchlight Tea Party (Video Included)

By Adrienne Ross - www.motivationtruth.com

Governor Palin spoke before a crowd estimated at about 20,000 yesterday in Searchlight, NV, Senator Harry Reid's hometown. Her speech drew applause throughout and further energized a crowd that was already fired up.

At the start of her speech, she joked about writing on her hand, something she has come to call "the poor man's version of the teleprompter." Then she got down to business--God, military, energy, taxes, freedom.

And yes, she took on the lamestream media's ridiculous lie that she and other tea partiers incite violence.

Politico reports:

“When we talk about fighting for our country, let’s clear the air right now about what we’re talking about,” she told an estimated 20,000 tea partiers gathered for a rally in a windswept desert lot about four miles north of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s tiny hometown. “We’re not inciting violence. Don’t get sucked into the lame-stream media lies.”

Palin said “violence isn’t the answer.” She said “our vote is our arms” and encouraged activists not to be discouraged by the passage of the Democratic healthcare overhaul bill last week, but rather to channel their energies into defeating congressional Democrats who supported the legislation.

Contrast that to Harry Reid's supporters today who allegedly threw eggs at Andrew Breitbart and the Tea Party Express bus. Read about that here and here. I would sit around and wait for the lamestream media and Left-wingers to cry out in outrage against this behavior, but I have things to do and can't wait that long.

In spite of the violent behavior against the tea partiers, nothing dampened the mood. Governor Palin's speech certainly did not disappoint. The thousands of patriots gathered left more determined than ever to take back the country they so dearly love.

Watch the governor's speech below:





(H/T C4P)

McCain says Palin is not inciting violence

The health care bill has sparked a wave of tension, bringing death threats and vandalism to politicians on both sides of the fence and has many pointing fingers as the tide of anger and outrage grows. Sarah Palin's comments on Twitter had many on the Left citing that Palin's choice of words and a graphic of crosshair targets on her Facebook page were "inappropriate."

Palin's twitter message ... "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: “Don’t Retreat, Instead – RELOAD!” Pls see my Facebook page," drew as much attention as can be expected from many of Palin's posts.  Some Republicans saw the attention as a distraction method, trying to veer Americans away from the most important issue at hand--healthcare itself.

Ann Curry of NBC's Today Show pressed the issue when Sen. John McCain appeared on Thursday. McCain was asked about, what Curry described as, Palin's "incendiary language."

"Those words have been used throughout my political career," McCain replied. "There are targeted districts, and there are areas that we call battleground states, and so please, that rhetoric and kind of language is just part of the political lexicon. There is no place for threats of violence or anything else, but to say that someone is in a battleground state is not originated today."

After a testy back-and-forth, Curry said, "I think it is the 'reload' and 'crosshairs' that's caused a lot of people to be concerned, senator."

"We condemn any violence, any threats of violence," responded McCain. "But I've heard all of that language throughout my political career."

The Arizona senator said that anger about the bill "should be channeled into voter registration and to continue the struggle that we're in to regain America and stop mortgaging our children's futures."

Palin addressed the issue on Friday, while campaigning for McCain's re-election, calling it a "ginned-up controversy."

"We know violence isn't the answer," Palin said Friday. "When we take up our arms, we're talking about our vote. This B.S. coming from the lamestream media lately about us inciting violence, don't let the conversation be subverted, don't let a conversation like that get you off track."

Palin writes op-ed about the maverick of the Senate

Sen. John McCain is facing the hardest election fight of his Senate career as he faces off against J.D. Hayworth, former congressman and conservative talk radio host, who claims McCain is too moderate for Arizona Republicans. Because of the tough fight, Sarah Palin is lending her star power to the man who chose her to be his running mate.

Palin appeared with McCain for the first time Friday at a campaign rally since the pair lost the 2008 presidential election. Many were looking forward to the speech Palin gave, but the former governor also wrote an op-ed in Friday's Arizona Republic, asking supporters to send John McCain back to the United States Senate.

"It was one of my life's greatest privileges to serve as Sen. John McCain's running mate on the 2008 Republican ticket as he sought to lead us as president of the United States," Palin wrote. "And it's an honor to stand beside him now as he runs for re-election to the United States Senate."

The op-ed titled, "A Desire to Serve Defines McCain," examines the maverick of the Senate and points out some of the qualities Palin observed as they traveled across the country together.

"In 2008, I firmly believed that John McCain was the right man for America," Palin said. "Today, I know he's the right man for Arizona. Your state deserves more than rhetoric; you deserve a leader with a real record of accomplishment. That's why, on behalf of Sen. McCain, I'm asking for your vote. For the good of our entire country and the future of your state, please send John McCain back to the United States Senate."
