Sarah Palin has shown no indication that she will run, and continues as a FOX news contributor even though two other contributors to FOX, and possible candidates, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum have already left. Charles Krauthammer recently commented that if Sarah runs and loses, it diminishes her stature. Could it be that she would have a greater influence on the outside looking in? No republican nominee could possible win the White House without the blessing of Sarah Palin and the impatient throngs that love her and her common sense conservative approach to governing. Therefore if she feels her chances of winning are slim to none, mainly because the media has so distorted and maligned her, would she not be better off playing the role of king maker? It's hard to say, and nobody really has an answer to that right now, including Sarah herself. I don't see her as being the coy type who hints at running but really has no intention of doing so. I believe, as she says, she is seriously considering the possibility of running if the country needs her and her family agrees.<br />
<br />
I for one believe the country needs her and her straight forward no nonsense approach. But, does the country need her to be president? We all knows what happens when someone begins a run for the presidency. Suddenly there are image makers, policy advisers, and communication gurus that so distort who the person really is, that they get lost in the process. Handlers so misuse and abuse the candidate that they become unrecognizable to all that knew and loved them. Maybe Sarah could avoid that though. We know she doesn't travel with an entourage, scripting every word and every event for her. She obviously has speech writers, but we also know she's her own woman, and will only say what she believes.That is what is so refreshing about her and what gives hope to those that want her to run. With Sarah Palin, what you she is what you get. Is it practical to think a person could run and win without the non stop ring kissing, deal making, and empty promises? We can only hope. Could she find her way to the public without the constant media filter distortion that most have been exposed to. We that love her know that if she could, she'd win the hearts and minds of a vast majority of Americans. I for one am tired of the phonies, fakes, and felons that populate our political landscape. She definitely could be a potent force as a king maker, but half way through writing this short column I've convinced myself I'd rather see her as president. It's time our politics changed. It's time for the true peoples candidate,<i><b> </b></i><i><b>Sarah Palin</b></i>.<br />

The foundation said that <i>"due to an onslaught of personal attacks against Gov. Palin and others associated with her appearance, it is with deep sadness and disappointment that, in the best interest of all, we cancel the event for safety concerns."</i> Apparently the gala was an awards banquet and fundraiser for military families. The SKP foundation had total assets of just over $2,200 in 2009, so it's evident that this was a small foundation which was attempting to expand their influence by inviting Gov. Palin. Many are speculating that they realized they were in over their head and canceled because of an inability to deal with the magnitude of a Palin attendance, as well as safety concerns. Others speculate that the event which was scheduled for May 2nd was canceled to free up Gov. Palin to take part in the republican presidential primary debate scheduled the same day at the Reagan Presidential Library. I discount the second speculation, because if Gov. Palin is leaning toward a presidential run, and wished to take part in the debate, that she could cancel well in advance, or that the SKP could reschedule their event if they still wanted Sarah to appear.<br />
<br />
If indeed the cancellation was for safety concerns then maybe the SKP should provide either the FBI or local law enforcement as to the nature of the personal attacks. The foundation director points out that no direct threats have been made against anyone, but the recent increase in negative rhetoric against the former Alaska governor "raises concerns for her safety and the safety of others despite the call for civility in America." Is it not incumbent upon them to provide any voice mail messages or where the onslaught of these personal attacks were coming from to law enforcement? Since the Tucson shooting, death threats against Sarah have increased greatly and many even took to Twitter to express their desire to see Palin assassinated. I find it odd that there's been very little coverage of the left expressing their violent hatred toward the former Governor, when conversely the press went apoplectic in their attempt to unsuccessfully put the blame of the Tucson shootings on her. Apparently generic statements like "we don't retreat, we reload," and targeted congressional district maps that have been used for decades by both sides are dangerous and may incite violence, but tweets hoping for the assassination of Gov. Palin are not.<br />
<br />
Once again the double standard is breathe taking. We all understand that the left's call for civility wasn't serious. It was a call and a strategy to paint the opposition as dangerous to civil discourse, when in reality it is the left that has perpetuated a climate of hate. It was an attempt to squash criticism of Obama and his left leaning agenda. Remember it was the left that vilified George W. Bush, to the point that Hollywood made a movie depicting an assassination attempt against him. And now the left has made Sarah Palin their new object of derision and hatred. It's clear they fear her, and understand her ability to connect with every day Americans is dangerous to their agenda. They cannot successfully debate her common sense approach to government, so they're left with only one option. They have to vilify and marginalize her. They spread lies, so the uninformed reject her out of hand. They paint her as dangerous to the country when in reality she's only dangerous to their agenda that is the REAL danger to all freedom loving Americans. I'm saddened that the mainstream media, which is supposed to be America's watchdog, has consciously determined to join forces with the left in their attempt to bring her down. It's an unholy alliance that should chill every American to the point of action. I for one, will do my part to expose the left for whom they are, and defend the principles this country was founded on. I've learned that determination from watching Sarah Palin soldier on in the face of relentless opposition and character assassination.<br />

How many would simply throw in the towel by now when they've been so viciously attacked and demonized as Sarah has? She will not. She said she would continue to speak out. They thought they'd destroyed her after the 2008 elections with frivolous law suits that consumed her time and energy and ultimately led to her resigning as governor. Then they labeled her a quitter, but she resurfaced on Face Book and Twitter. Every Face Book posting and tweet was responded to by the left loons, and the administration. For someone who supposedly had no political relevance the curious reaction to every word was astounding. During the health care debate, she responded with a Face Book posting that accused Obama care of instituting death panels. The left went apoplectic, but ultimately the "end of life counseling" was dropped from the bill. It recently re-emerged through regulatory shenanigans. The public again protested and the administration was forced to back down again. The left would have been better served to leave her be, and maybe she'd still be governor of Alaska, and out of the national spotlight.<br />
<br />
She's written two best selling books, and campaigned relentlessly during the midterms pushing many conservative candidates across the finish line. She probably had as much an impact on the GOP's astounding victory on Nov. 2nd as any other one person, except perhaps Barack Obama and his left leaning agenda. She's become a Tea Party favorite and leader of a Middle America, Fly Over Country coalition. She has been panned by comedians, hated by the left, ridiculed by the media, threatened by wackos, insulted, harassed, and still she keeps on keeping on. She is criticized for not responding, and then responding to her tormentors. With these latest unwarranted attacks, I've noticed that even some establishment republicans have begun to come to her defense. Karl Rove rises to the top of that list. Those that aren't thrilled with the prospect of a Palin presidential run see these attacks as reprehensible. The more the left attacks, the bigger the Palin mystique grows. What the left means for destruction is feeding a narrative that dooms their agenda. The American people are more than anything fair, and empathetic when they witness diabolical character assassination. Their incessant derangement against her is multiplying a resistant shield of conservative protectors watching her back. Her infectious tenacity is recruiting common sense commoners entering the debate.<br />
<br />
She mentioned in the Hannity interview a trifecta of problems that this country faces. One of those being a crisis in energy, with rising prices and a greater dependence on foreign oil. This is right in her wheelhouse. As former governor of the largest energy state, and a proponent of more domestic oil and natural gas exploration, who better to address this problem? Domestic oil production is down 13% this year. Obama's moratorium in the gulf is a large factor. The reaction to over regulate since the spill has made permits for off shore drilling move at a glacier pace, even though the moratorium has now been lifted. The left continues to fight to make ANWR off limits, while Sarah fights to drill. Oil is now a hundred dollars a barrel and gas prices are rising precipitously. As we move closer to 2012 and Americans facing $5.00 a gallon gas prices, Sarah will become even more relevant. This is all a wild card in the coming two years. The left thinks they've done what is necessary to destroy her, and with every attempt she rises like a Phoenix, with even a greater support system watching her back. Sometimes an American comes along with solutions to complicated problems that are so common they seem ordinary. Maybe that's what makes Sarah Palin extra-ordinary. Her ability to connect with the common sense of the American people keeps her star bright and the left confounded.<br />

It's noteworthy to point out she waited until today to do just that. Rather then a knee jerk reaction to the assault on her from the left and the media, she gave time for the families to grieve and the dust to settle. She was panned on MSNBC for hiding out and not responding. Now <a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2011/01/the-note-obama-palin-and-arizona-a-tale-of-two-speeches.html">ABC news </a>is accusing her of putting herself back in the middle of it. I guess you could say, "<i>damned if you do, and damned if you don't</i>." The idea that she shouldn't address how the media has spun this would be derelict. She did address the absolute truthfulness that a criminal act like this should stand on it's own. It seems the left always wants to indict society as a whole, and conservatives in particular for crimes by individuals. The implication is that if they controlled everything none of this would happen. It seems the only time they preach carefulness in assigning blame is after a terrorist shoots up a military base as was the case in Fort Hood.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless Sarah's video was a home run. Notice I used a baseball analogy rather then a military one. She looked presidential, which of course the left will mock. She showed empathy for the victims and insight into the media's careless behavior and urged resisting the temptation to legislate speech. The left continues to shadow box with endless left hooks though. I watched a debate on Fox News this morning where the democrat even tried to criticize her "Mama Grizzly" analogy as incendiary. The reflective lesson is that the American people are far too smart to buy into these unsubstantiated assaults, and as more is revealed about the killer, their assertions will fall of their own weight. Meanwhile how will the democrat party now deal with the term, "campaign," Which is an appropriation of military battle? Will they change the use of "battle ground states?" Will they change the phrase "targeted district" to "<i>districts we'd like to win, but don't want to give anybody the wrong idea</i>?" Maybe so. We all know they aren't too enthusiastic about war, even though Bill Clinton had a "war room" that was all about politics and defeating the republicans. Maybe they'll take the San Fransisco approach and try to remove all references to war from our lexicon. Maybe the 2012 elections won't even have a campaign, but rather a love fest where republicans and democrats stand by the camp fire holding hands and singing. I'm sure they'd love that as long as they get to pick the songs we sing. <b><i>Battle on Conservatives</i></b>!<br />

They are proving that their fear of her has gone delusional. They contend that her using the hyperbole of<i> targeted</i> districts on her Sarah Pac campaign map, and her phrase "<i>we don't retreat, we reload</i>," somehow contributed to a maniac acting out his lunacy. Never mind that the left leaning Daily Kos also had Gabby Giffords <i>targeted</i> for a primary challenge on their website, and the democrat party has used <i>bulls eyes</i> on their campaign maps for years. Never mind that the messiah himself has said, "<i>If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun</i>." Never mind that the Daily Kos several days ago, had a posting in reference to Gabby Giffords, That stated, "<i>My congress woman voted against Nancy Pelosi and is now dead to me</i>." She was one of nineteen democrats that voted against Pelosi for minority leader. Never mind that Joe Manchin shot a hole through the cap and trade bill with a high powered rifle in a campaign ad. Remember Gabby Giffords voted for that very bill.<br />
<br />
I don't believe the media really believes what they're reporting. They are political, and they know about Joe Manchin's campaign ad, and the daily Kos website targeting Gabby Giffords. They remember that infamous Obama statement. They are using this incident to continue their non-stop attack on Sarah and persuade public opinion that she is a danger to us all. Sarah is only a danger to the left leaning progressive agenda that permeates Washington and the media. She's a danger to over spending and dependency on foreign oil. She's a danger to business as usual in both the democrat and republican party. She doesn't incite violence, she incites every day Americans to get involved and motivated to protect our freedoms, our country and our children from a lifetime of dependency and servitude to an all powerful central government. The media knows she's not a danger to human life, but may be a thorn in the side to those that incite violence inside a woman's womb. She has proven her pro-life bonifides, and defended the most fundamental institution we have.... the family. She is fly over country, middle America, and apple pie all rolled up in one. She is common sense incarnated, and that's why they hate her. That is also why we love her.<br />

I want a hint from Sarah that she's seriously considering a run for president. Instead of the twelve days of Christmas let's consider the twelve reason to encourage her to run. First off, she could tick off the Lame Stream Media. The Washington Post is reporting that there are signs she won't run. It may be that is wishful thinking on their part or a challenge to Sarah. The article in question is somewhat vague, which to me indicates wishful thinking. The two signs they quote are that one of her lieutenants Tom Van Flein, is ditching her for incoming representative Paul Gosar. Notice they use the word ditching which is obviously meant to intimate a falling out or disapproval of Sarah from Mr. Van Flein, which is completely unsubstantiated. People come and people go, it doesn't really mean anything. They also intimate that there are murmurs of "Sarah Palin's Alaska," season two. Of course there's going to be rumors of that considering the success season one has had. The more important aspect of those rumors is that no contractual agreement for another season has been reached, and even though Sarah showed interest in a second season after the amazing success of the first episode, nothing has developed.<br />
<br />
Second, the political class including the republican party needs a serious smack down. We've discovered that the entrenched political class is terrified of a Sarah Palin run, and therefore she could knock out a host of wannabees simply by announcing that she's seriously exploring the possibility. Many republicans didn't seem to get the message of the midterms as evidenced by their compromised over spending and capitulation in the lame duck session. Third, it would be wonderful to watch Katie Couric try to finagle another interview with Sarah if she runs, knowing that Sarah has no interest in submitting to more gotcha journalism from Ms. Couric and CBS news.<br />
<br />
Fourth, It would be wonderful to see the millions of everyday conservatives, who're disgusted with politics as usual mobilize and volunteer their time and money to bring an everyday real American across the finish line. What a victory for fly over country that continues to receive scorn from the elites. Fifth, it would be classic to watch the other republican candidates try and walk the fine line of contrasting themselves with Sarah without insulting her supporters. The debates would be akin to a contortionists' convention.<br />
<br />
Sixth, Maureen Dowd would continue to have reason to live. She could continue her nonstop distortion of Sarah and her policies, and prove once again that the elites just don't get it. Seventh, Tina Fey's career will once again be revitalized. If I were either one of these women I'd be sending Sarah Palin a huge portion of my paycheck. I wonder if Ms. Dowd enjoyed watching Caribou Barbie, shoot her very own caribou on "Sarah Palin's Alaska," part four.<br />
<br />
Eighth, the liberals that appear on MSNBC could once again show their true colors, as they burn red faced and apoplectic at every Sarah Tweet and Face book message. Chris Mathew's tingle up his leg, received from watching Barack Obama would be transformed into burning shingles. Ninth, if Sarah could make it to the nomination the Palin Obama debates would be must see television. The debates could be renamed, "Will The Real Idiot, Please Stand Up." The media would be confounded as the messiah would be shown for what he really is, a false prophet, a counterfeit intellectual that fooled the public once, but is now meeting his match, a common sense conservative that speaks in plain Americana, not Ivy League nuance and deceitful complexity.<br />
<br />
Tenth, Lisa Murkowski, the false republican would indeed endorse Barack Obama and probably defect, Ala Arlen Specter, to the democrat party. Good rid-dens. Eleventh, The blue blood Barbara Bush wouldn't get her wish of Sarah Palin staying in Alaska. Twelve and finally, the American political system would be rejuvenated like never before, as the real debate between conservatism and progressive policy would be front and center. A stark contrast that would make the choices clear to every voter. Please Sarah, be my Santa and run Sarah run.<br />

She received the lowest judges scores Monday night but the public vote pushed her into the finals. Liberals all around are incensed that the least talented among the final four made it into the finals. They are equally upset that Sarah is again beating expectations. Her enormous debut of "Sarah Palin's Alaska" on the TLC network drew over 5 million viewers on Sunday night. As George W. Bush would say, the left is "<i>misunderestimating</i>" the Palin appeal across the nation. The left has suddenly changed their tune when speaking of Bristol. They now believe that merit should determine winners and losers. This coming from the side that favors bailouts of failing companies, affirmative action hiring, redistribution of wealth, and amnesty for lawbreaking illegals. <br />
<br />
Bristol, because of her mothers vice presidential run with John McCain has been scrutinized from the left and the media more than any other unwed mother. You'd think the left that celebrates promiscuity through condom distribution and abortion on demand would be more sympathetic to the plight of an unwed mother. Maybe their displeasure is in the fact that Bristol, like her mother, decided to take her baby to term. How many left wing zealots have children that get pregnant, but we never know because that child is aborted in secret behind closed doors. Kudos to Bristol for making the decision for life, and putting herself out there for ridicule and scorn for the sake of her baby. Not being an avid fan of DWTS, but occasionally watching, I've seen a shy and modest young woman, not the promiscuous tart the left would like to portray. She seems determined, and has obviously improved her dancing from the initial show. She has also become an advocate for abstinence which of course drives the left wild.<br />
<br />
Her advancement on the show could be attributed to many things. The left probably understands that her mother's supporters are keeping her alive. Many probably watch for the chance that Sarah and Todd may be in the studio audience, and therefore the longer she remains on the show the more they will be exposed to Sarah herself. That has to drive the left bananas. Or maybe many just appreciate the fact that she's not a professional in the entertainment field and they celebrate her courage to do what she's doing. The left doesn't really believe in the public determining winners and losers. They feel the elites, or should we say intelligentsia, should determine most everything. They hate capitalism because the public determines who should survive. They love socialism, because bureaucrats and elites control business and therefore the wealth of the country. The great unwashed in their minds has no business choosing the direction of the country. They don't have the requisite gray matter to know what is best for even them.<br />
<br />
I believe they fear something more than they can actually bare. If the least professional and polished Bristol Palin can make it into the finals of Dancing With The Stars, maybe in their minds, the uneducated, inarticulate and down home woman of the people, Sarah Palin can make it into the finals of the 2012 presidential campaign. They're repulsed by the thought of an every day American that connects with the majority of fly over country, could actually become president. They've done everything they can to destroy her, but she continues on successfully advancing, or should I say dancing to the beat of her own drum. A successful book. A Fox News contributor. A political endorser extraordinaire. A highly coveted campaigner, and now a cable television phenomenon. Wherever she goes, crowds convene. They said she was finished after she resigned as governor. But, as we have seen, her influence in the midterms was second to none, and her star continues to rise. I hope the left continues to, in the words of W., <u><i>misunderestimate</i></u> Sarah Palin.<br />

They use unnamed sources, supposedly GOP bigwigs and establishment types that they say want to stop her. Sarah describes this as yellow journalism, and if establishment republicans want to stop her they should put their name to it. If there is an attempt by establishment republicans and possible presidential candidates to try and undermine Sarah's possible run for the 2012 nomination, and I don't doubt there is, they aren't going to reveal themselves. The republican establishment knows that if they overtly turn on Sarah, they will alienate millions of grass root and Tea Party activists. The establishment republicans that supported Sue Lowden over Sharron and Angle in Nevada, Lisa Murkowski over Joe Miller in Alaska, Charlie Crist over Marco Rubio in Florida, and Trey Grayson over Rand Paul in Kentucky, and I could go on, should know by now that the grass roots conservatives will not stand for squishy RHINO republicans any more.<br />
<br />
If the GOP wants to win in 2012 they will need Tea Party support, or they will go down in flames. They fear Sarah because she has Tea Party activists on her side, and they don't think she can beat Barack Obama if she wins the nomination. They also didn't think Rand Paul, Sharron Angle, and Marco Rubio could win. They are faced with a conundrum. Do we allow this movement to continue and change and reinvigorate the party, or do we do everything we can to undermine Sarah and other leaders of Tea Parties across the nation to keep their ever shrinking hold on power. Without Sarah and the Tea Party movement, republicans would not be close to the massive gains they're about to experience on November 2nd. Sarah has had the single largest effect on this election, and without her it's anyone's guess what the gains would be. GOP bigwigs point to her support of Christine O'Donnell as hurting the party's chance of taking back the senate. Sarah has said "of course I'm going to support the true conservative over a republican that voted for cap and trade, and was willing to go along with much of Obama's agenda." This is the attitude of the new movement within the republican party. No more compromising <i>republican in name only</i> elected officials. We want constitutional conservative law makers.<br />
<br />
We also don't want republicans to compromise with Obama once they get elected. If it takes two election cycles to roll back the damage that Obama and the democrats have done to our country, then so be it. Sarah continues to fight for conservative values, with an ever increasing army of patriots determined to take back our country. It's obvious she's willing to battle the republican establishment as well as liberals to do just that. If I were one of those unnamed GOP bigwigs that is determined to stop her, I'd think twice before picking a fight with Sarah Barracuda. It's growing increasingly clear that Sarah is willing to run in 2012 if needed. The most recent interviews reveal her willingness to run if another strong conservative candidate doesn't emerge.<br />
<br />
Michael Steele in a recent interview said these unnamed sources need to shut up. He is one republican that has embraced Sarah, and campaigned with her on his recent <i>Fire Pelosi Bus Tour</i>. Of course many of those republican bigwigs were calling for his head not too long ago. Instead of embracing those that are reinvigorating the GOP, many of these establishment types seem hell bent on blowing up the republican party, and making way for a more powerful and energized third party. Has the time come? I guess what happens after November 2nd will determine if these new Tea Party lawmakers will have a voice within The Grand <i><b>Old</b></i> Party. I emphasis old because without them the republican party will go the way of the buggy whip, unwilling to evolve with what is happening in grass roots America.<br />

That inspires me to republish the post that launched this blog.....<br />
<h3 class="post-title entry-title"><a href="http://cooperscopy.blogspot.com/2009/11/sarah-palins-appeal-to-conservative-man.html">Sarah Palin's Appeal To The Conservative Man</a> </h3><a href="http://sarahpalintruthsquad.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/11palin.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://sarahpalintruthsquad.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/11palin.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 580px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 380px;" /></a><br />
As the release of Sarah <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Palin's</span></span> book "Going Rogue" approaches, the media swirl around the event seems to dwarf Dorothy and Toto's Kansas tornado. As media organizations are drooling, and green with envy at those who've secured interviews and appearances, the ones that have are promoting their coup nonstop. Excerpts from the book are now being dribbled out and the frenzy to take a peek at this precocious politician's pronouncements is palpable. Let's examine for a moment the clear intrigue from one particular group and its perceived attraction to the new Alaskan <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">phenomenon</span>.<br />
<br />
CONSERVATIVE MEN: We will abbreviate this group as "Con-men for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Palin</span></span>." This group appears to be one of the most intense in their support. First, lets get the obligatory personal appearance out of the way. Not only is Sarah <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Palin</span></span> attractive, those glasses give her that air of intelligence that many men find unnerving in a secretarial fantasy sort of way. She's pretty, personable and petite. What man isn't attracted to that, unless you're an estrogen driven liberal male feminist, of the Alan <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Alda</span></span> type, or a Barney Frank who desires muscles coupled with submission.<br />
<br />
Her image of picking fish out of nets while wearing waders and smiling, of course appeals to that middle American male who has forever wanted their wives to get down and dirty with them on their weekend testosterone filled fishing and hunting trips. Her correcting of Joe <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Biden's</span></span> "drill, drill, drill," phrase in the debate, to No Joe, "It's Drill Baby Drill," sends electricity up the leg of hard working men, the same as Chris Matthews messiah induced leg thrill. Her ability to make a delicious moose stew filled with rib sticking protein laden man food after shooting and dressing it, secures kudos from the Grizzly Adam's type.<br />
<br />
And of course her common sense approach to work and family appeals to the con-man's tradition of working and loving your family hard. Sarah's desire to see government work for the people, and not the other way around gets the fiscal conservative and small government man feeling hugged rather than squeezed. Her understanding that energy independence and the will to attack it with the "all the above approach," including domestic drilling, will free us from the dress wearing, terrorist funding, turban types.<br />
<br />
Sarah's folksy and down home way, along with her political incorrect way of saying it is a breathe of fresh air from the current Cabal of cautious caretakers, who by trying not to offend anybody offend almost everybody. Her ability to be a career woman while still being a loving and responsible wife and mother, who chose to bring her down syndrome child to term, shows the con-man strength of character.<br />
<br />
Her support of our troops, and the idea of victory, as well as her understanding of what terrorism is, contrast greatly from the squishy and incoherent path the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. espouses. Conservative males, many who have served in the military, know she has a son serving and therefore feel a special connection to her in all things war related. Pictures of her eating with the troops are compelling and show a sense of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">camaraderie and ease with fighting men and women.</span><br />
<br />
Last, the con-man is repelled by the hubris displayed by the current elites in Washington, and look for that common sense approach to difficult problems, rather than Ivy League taught mumble jumble, that simply seems to mesmerize rather than maximize the talent this country has to bring us out of the funk we're in. Sarah's a reformer who'll tackle problems head on as she did in Alaska, rather then holding summits and enacting commissions. Sarah's way is the conservative man's way. She can amazingly blend a tough no nonsense approach to problem solving with the femininity and appeal that doesn't threaten the conservative man. The only question is, will she threaten the con-man's better half?<br />
<br />
This posting, first posted on, <a href="http://cooperscopy.blogspot.com/">cooperscopy</a>, is where the idea of a Con-Men4Palin blog was conceivedcooperscopyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13044607267822550986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3530650377735095870.post-61758778948416124882010-09-21T20:07:00.000-07:002010-09-21T20:08:37.874-07:00Palin-tologyPalin-tology is the study of the media and the left's obsession with Sarah Palin. It's an in depth narration of why they hate her and want to destroy her. It's a study of their fear of her. And even though they will never admit it, they see her as their greatest threat. Why else would they spread so much ink, and bytes to vilify, demonize, marginalize, and try to define her. The answer is simple. She resonates with a very large segment of the American people. They are jealous of her magnetic personality that can gather crowds of tens of thousands at the drop of a hat. They watch her change election results after a passing endorsement. Joe Miller in Alaska, and Christine O'Donnell in Delaware. The republican establishment also fears her. They wonder about her plans. Her itinerary is the most watched event in the political horizon. The tsunami that surfaced when it was revealed she'd be visiting Iowa was monumental. Not only is her support large and growing, but it is deep. Talk to a Palin supporter, and you talk to a true believer. A believer of small government and lower taxes. A values voter that sees Sarah as a triumph of character. They will never believe the accusations against her. They have turned off the main stream media, or should I say the Lame stream media. They know they're out to destroy her.<br />
<br />
They watched when she made her debut at the Republican national convention in 2008 and immediately fell in love with her. It only took hours before reporters were dispatched by the left to little Wasilla Alaska to dig up dirt and create a narrative that countered her enormously successful first impression. The attacks continued non-stop until election day. And then they continued on. They filed frivolous ethics charges after ethics charges to keep her preoccupied as Alaska's governor. She outsmarted them by resigning and taking to the national stage. How many others would have just crawled under a rock and given up? Not Sarah, and that's why she's loved. She's been tried in fire, and purified for a greater task. Character is perfected when challenged. Her enemies meant her destruction, but it has resulted in her exaltation. Her supporters see that. They admire her determination and good humor in the face of unrelenting attacks.<br />
<br />
Even so the left continues non-stop. Their hatred is palpable. They despise her down home manner and common sense approach. Nothing can be that easy they say. We've spent years perfecting nuance and complexity and she comes along and suddenly everybody is listening. They've never considered that nuance and complexity is code for, "we don't have a clue." That's because they don't have a clue. They don't understand American values and traditions. They weren't taught that at Ivy League graduate schools. America is the problem to them. We are the oppressors, and it's their job to make things right. Wrong, and Sarah knows it. America is exceptional because of it's common sense values, hard work, and the liberty that rewards such. Maureen Dowd calls Christine O'Donnell the republican nominee for Joe Bidens senate seat in Delaware, Sarah Palin's "<i>Mini Me</i>." Christine should take that as a badge of honor. Ms. O'Donnell said at the Values Voters summit that the Washington bureaucrats have weaseled their way into our private lives. She said, "they'll buy an abortion for your teenage daughter, but won't let her buy a sugary soda from the school vending machine." Very Palinesque. She's learning from Sarah the common sense approach that resonates.<br />
<br />
It is still unknown if Sarah will or if Sarah won't make the ultimate run. But, the left and the media is holding their breathe, and sitting ready to attack with even greater ferocity. Whatever she decides to do, she has already proven this primary season, she is a force to be reckoned with. Now there are others following in her footsteps and succeeding where no one gave them a chance. Palin-tology is very intriguing. It's enlightening to watch the left and the media compromise their journalistic integrity to bring down a petite patriot with an army of supporters ready to engage to stand up for America once again.<br />

Her patriotic, positive message contrasts greatly to Obama's blame everyone but yourself narrative. Both her and Beck stressed personal responsibility and individual accountability to yourself, country and God, while Obama continues a collectivist solution to every problem, crowning government as god, and the ruling class as arbitrators of every blessing. Sarah spoke not as a politician but as a mother of a combat vet. Her only political shot across the bow was when she said <i>"we must not fundamentally transform America as some would want, but, we must restore America</i>." That was the only not so veiled shot at the Obama administration.<br />
<br />
The left must be wondering how a talk show host, along with a former vice presidential nominee could draw such a huge crowd. The condemnation will be apparent heading into the early part of the week from the lame stream media, and the running scared progressives. This was a successful and inspiring rally, and the crowd spells trouble for the progressive members of congress. They can't ignore how engaged the conservative movement has become over the last eighteen months. The first responsibility to restoring honor will be for patriotic Americans to restore honor in our elected officials, and give walking papers to the arrogant elitist ruling class that has governed against the will of the people for far too long. Thank God we've got leaders like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck to point the way.<br />

The most stark result was the Alaska GOP senate primary where Lisa Murkowski seems to have lost to Joe Miller even though polls showed she had a healthy lead heading into Tuesday's primary. Miller acknowledges that Palin's support was pivotal. The Mainstream media that recently had labeled Sarah's influence as diminishing should be eating crow today, but of course they spin it like a child's top. Conservatives, on the other hand are understanding that Sarah's support is key, and establishment republicans are wondering where to turn next. They see her as a threat to their petty political fiefdoms. Now the question is what kind of an influence she will have in the upcoming November midterms.<br />
<br />
If I was a republican fortunate enough to make it past the primary challenge, I would have her number foremost on my I-Phone, and calling for an endorsement and campaign appearances. Blue state republicans seem to want to keep her at bay, but that may be a mistake in the present political climate. She can attract a huge crowd no matter what color the state is, and the media she draws can only improve name recognition, as well as momentum. It's time the republican establishment acknowledges that she is the star the party needs to bring these midterms to a triumphant ending. The worst thing they can do is dis her and alienate a huge block of patriotic and energized Americans.<br />

It seems the faux mama Grizzlies in this video believe that protecting their cubs is protecting the big government, entitlement solutions to everything in life. Real Grizzlies seem a bit more independent in providing for their cubs. Haven't seen a mama Grizzly at the unemployment line, or waiting for aid to families with dependent children...AFDC. One Mama Grizzly in the video said, she wants to preserve her cubs right to choose. I haven't seen much in the media about aborting baby Grizzlies. In fact I'm sure to even shoot an adult Grizzly you have to apply for and purchase a hunting license, and hunting is restricted to certain areas and certain times of the year. Thank God the liberals aren't in charge of wildlife management, or as many as half of all Grizzly cubs would be aborted. <br />
<br />
The real issue here is that liberals will always tell you who they fear, by how viciously they attack that person. Sarah is a huge threat to the progressive cause and therefore is their biggest target. The problem for them is that their entitlement society is falling on hard times as this administration and congress continues their free spending, and redistribution agenda, and the real mama Grizzlies are pushing back. True mama Grizzlies protect their young from government intrusion, and they teach their cubs to provide for themselves. One of the most pathetic sights is to walk into a city zoo and see the once proud and independent Grizzly waiting melancholy, to be fed by their keeper. Their freedom gone, and their instinctive nature subdued. An even more pitiful sight is to watch God's greatest creation, "MANKIND," looking to government to meet their needs, as their zest for life, and incentive to succeed dwindles away.<br />

He then asked if they were just going with the flow, and Sarah replied like only Sarah can that only dead fish go with the flow. Typically Sarah says it just the way it needs to be said. Her whole interview with Chris was an example of not going with the flow as she repudiated all of the Obama agenda and his lack of understanding as how to turn around the economic malaise that is gripping the country.<br />
<br />
It's obvious that Obama is stuck on stupid and doesn't understand that his policies are a hindrance to economic growth. His anticipated tax increases in January will stall growth and job creation as the democrats continue the class warfare they are famous for. Sarah understands that the economy can't grow unless the entrepreneurial spirit that built this country is let lose. Tax increases and regulatory excesses are strangling innovation and growth. Sarah mentioned that the law suit against Arizona is another example of the federal governments refusal to enforce the immigration laws, and try to make this debate racial rather than a law enforcement issue. She mentioned governor Jan Brewer had the cojones that Obama lacked to do what was right to enforce border security. Kudos to Sarah for swimming against the flow. A dead fish she is not.<br />

The resounding winner was character with more then 75%.....What's enlightening about the results of that poll is that I could answer yes to all four. Many would say her experience is minimal when you consider her age and time in public life, but that can also be a plus. The new movement sweeping the country is a movement for outsiders, and those that aren't or haven't been career politicians. Her experience as a mother, wife, and small business owner give her the credentials to lead just as much as her stint as mayor and governor.<br />
<br />
Her accomplishments which include running for city counsel all the way to governor and now a champion of conservatives has been meteoric. It's clear she knows how to take advantage of the opportunities and has amazing political insight. Her openness to whatever opportunity comes her way shows she's not single minded and laser focused on one end result, but willing to adapt to the opportunity that would put her in a position to best serve her country. It's clear her common sense conservative approach rings true and refreshing to me as well as millions of others. The arrogant elitism that seems to be permeating Washington D.C. is frightening. Pushing policies without the consent of the governed seems to be this administration's forte. It should be alarming when leaders deceive and manipulate to pass legislation that only they and a small minority are in favor of. Health care over haul, cap and trade, immigration/amnesty, and the list goes on.<br />
<br />
But I would have to agree that Sarah's character is far and away the most attractive attribute she has. Whether that character was built from being raised in small communities by a loving family, or her obvious faith in a loving God, or her ability to roll with the punches and not lose faith in herself and the country nobody really knows, but it's probably a combination of all the above. What is clear is that she lives who she is. Even though the left and the media have given all they can to bring her down she remains strong in the face of unmatched opposition and character assassination. How many of us could withstand the same level of assaults that have come her way without throwing up our hands and crawling under a rock? Her adherence to her beliefs in the sanctity of life have been tested, and she passed with flying colors. Even though the media and the left attacked her mercilessly for resigning as governor, I see in her decision the selfless act of removing from the state of Alaska the burden of what the left was trying to do to her. She put her state first even though that is lost on most commentators.<br />
<br />
In review we find in Sarah Palin is that common sense conservative approach to problem solving that is attractive to a growing number of Americans. A real life experience that most except the elites can relate to. A meteorite rise in accomplishments that confound the normal politician. Most of all a proven character that is desperately needed in our public figures of today. Besides these four attributes she now has the support, love, and admiration of a willing army of like minded conservatives ready to go to battle against arrogant elitism that threatens our country and our very way of life. If she chooses to lead, they will follow.<br />

This was in an answer to a question from the perky one, that Sarah Palin calling herself a feminist has rankled some traditional feminists. First of all who is to decide what a traditional feminist is? Many would say that a feminist is someone who embraces their femininity. I must admit that since I am not a woman, even though on occasion I defer to my feminine side, I am limited in my exposition of what a feminist is. What is something that is exclusively feminine? Women can do most things that men can do, and men can do most things women can do. Women are now soldiers and construction workers, while many men are primary care takers for children. Whether you consider this healthy or not for society, it is what it is. <br />
<br />
There is of course one thing that is exclusively women. Let's set aside Arnold Schwarzenegger's performance in the Hollywood movie <i>Junior</i>. If you are unfamiliar with <i>Junior</i>, the premise was that Arnold the muscleman becomes pregnant. The probable reason for Junior's box office disaster, besides Arnold's less than award winning performance, was the complete absurdity of the premise. Everyone knows that pregnancy and child birth is exclusively a woman's honor. It is the one thing that no man can do, and after watching the women in their life go through it, what man would want to to? Every woman that experiences the drama of child birth deserves the title of Hero. No man could do what these women do. Women were exclusively wired and built to endure the pain and change that child birth brings.<br />
<br />
Now lets get back to Ms. Steinem's assertion. She said that you can't be a feminist if you say other women can't have abortions. I'm assuming that since abortion is legal in this country that she's referring to women that favor some abortion restrictions. I guess that would mean any woman that favors restrictions on partial birth, or third trimester abortions would fit into her definition of a non feminist. I'm assuming that her definition of a feminist would be anyone who favors unrestricted abortion rights. So let me get this straight. A feminist to her is someone who favors and supports the denial of themselves and others the one act that makes women exclusively feminine. Supporting the reduction of child birth...{the one exclusive feminine act}..through abortion, makes you a feminist? Sounds to me like an oxymoron. It's kind of like cutting off your nose to spite your face. <br />
<br />
In reality Ms. Steinem is not championing womens rights, she's trying to turn women into deities. She wants women to have the power of live and death. Whether she believes in God or not, she believes women should be the deciders of who lives and who dies. We all have heard from the, {traditional feminists,} that this decision should be between the woman and her doctor. Well we all know that no matter what the doctor recommends it's still the woman that has the final say. Could it be that a lack of belief in God causes many to elevate themselves to that position? It's the natural succession of those that do not understand the existence of God, to become a god onto themselves. This is not to say that women shouldn't have choice, but perhaps that choice should be made before the conception of a child.<br />
<br />
Now let's get back to our heroine, Sarah Palin. We all remember that when she was in New Orleans she took the home pregnancy test that revealed the existence of Trig. She thought for a moment that no one would know and maybe she should take care of this. There was an obvious understanding and empathy of the difficult predicament many women find themselves in. But as a true feminist she decided to follow through with the one act that makes her exclusively woman. Rather than exalting herself to a position reserved only for God she stayed feminine, she stayed woman. Her belief in God gave her the strength to stay true to who she was and is...a woman...a feminist. By the time she found out Trig would have Downs, she had already cemented her decision based on her pro life beliefs. And even though this news had to be devastating, she with the support of a feminist supporting husband made the exclusively feminist decision to engage in the exclusively feminist act...child birth. And as she has said many times, Trig is a true blessing from God. She also says that the women that protect their children like Mama Grizzlies, {whether in the womb or out} are the new conservative feminists.<br />
<br />
I've talked to many women that have had abortions. Some have regretted the decision and others have not. Many with regret understand they intruded into God only territory and left their exclusive feminist identity. Now they should be proud to have found their way back to true feminism. Those that understand what a true feminist is and decide to follow through with their pregnancy should be applauded. Those that make the decision to do what even Hollywood and Arnold Schwarzenegger can't pull off but only true feminists can, should not be intimidated by the likes of Gloria Steinem.... a fake feminist. Remember this also, many of those aborted fetuses that Gloria Steinem considers non persons are little girls and future feminists.<br />

The three of four candidates she endorsed won, and several of them won big. Her endorsement of Nikki Haley was essential in Haley's almost 50% vote among a field of four candidates for the republican nomination for governor of South Carolina. She will be headed to a runoff election in two weeks unless US representative Gresham Barrett bows out with only 22% of the vote. The inside scoop is that republican leaders are encouraging him to do just that. Haley was a victim of good ole boy politics as accusations of infidelity surfaced over the last several weeks. Palin stuck with Haley and mentioned that the accuser was trying to make things up. It was Haley's reformer mantle that drew distinction from the republican establishment and comparisons to Sarah's own political history. If anyone could understand and sympathize with false accusations, Sarah can.<br />
<br />
Next Sarah's endorsement of Carly Fiorina in the race for the republican nomination to face Barbara Boxer in California brought a huge victory for Fiorina. The polls were much closer until Sarah's endorsement which brought huge controversy as many of the Tea Party groups felt Fiorina was not the strongest conservative in the race. Sarah underlined Fiorina's strong pro life and NRA endorsements to counter that charge which helped sway conservatives to her side. Sarah even made robo calls for Fiorina in the final days of the campaign. Fiorina will be a strong challenger for Boxer's seat and can bring unlimited spending to this race.<br />
<br />
Sarah also endorsed Terry Branstad in the Iowa governor's race which also surprised some conservatives. She was able to reassure many that Branstad was indeed a true conservative, and seems to be positioning herself as a huge asset to those she endorses. The only loser of the evening that Sarah endorsed was the Arkansas house candidate..Cecile Bledsoe. Bledsoe was a distant second until the Palin endorsement, and appears to have just lost, although the final results are not in. She described Bledsoe as a "Mama Grizzly," and a leader of a new feminist conservative surge.<br />
<br />
The results of Tuesday's primaries are revealing and show Sarah's political impact for those she endorses. You can bet that as more primaries continue on through the summer that many will seek her endorsement. It's somewhat humorous that democrat primary candidates are running away from Barack Obama while republican primary candidates are seeking the endorsement of Sarah Palin. Seems to me a "Battle Royal" is shaping up for the 2012 elections.<br />

The rhetoric from the left and especially Barack Obama has been shameful and an obvious attempt to divide the country by race for political advantage. It won't work, as most Americans support the Arizona law which actually has tougher language to avoid racial profiling than the federal law now on the books. Sarah made it clear in her remarks that the feds aren't doing their job to enforce our border security, and challenged the president to do just that. She didn't mince words and now has a new ally in Jan Brewer who herself has taken targeted <a href="http://www.thefoxnation.com/arizona-gov-jan-brewer/2010/05/17/az-gov-calls-obama-comic-chief">shots at Obama</a> for making jokes about the Arizona law and his shameful attempt to divide by race.<br />
<br />
It's great to see conservative women standing up to this demagoguery perpetrated by this administration which came into office promising to be post partisan and post racial. They are neither, and it seems the conservative women are the ones holding them accountable. Kudos to governor Jan Brewer and of course Sarah Palin for telling the truth about the law and upholding the immigration laws of our country. Let's take Sarah's advice and visit Arizona. Lets not let boycott mania hurt a state that is standing strong against the left by protecting our borders and enforcing the law. Conservatives are very supportive of legal immigration and always have been. But, with the Mexican drug wars spilling over the southern border and the chance of a suitcase nuke or backpack bomb sneaking in, it is just common sense to stop the parade of illegals.<br />
<br />
Maybe we should start our own boycott of sanctuary cities that refuse to enforce the law. Recently the mayor of Los Angeles said that illegal immigration is a boom to their area. If that be the case maybe those border states should offer one way transportation to all those sanctuary cities for any illegal immigrant so inclined to go where the welcome mat is out. In the meantime let's change our vacation plans from those cities and instead visit the great people of Arizona. The best way to stop a boycott is simply go on the offensive and boycott them back. It's simple math. There are many more in support of the Arizona law than opposed to it, so if we all joined forces we could hurt those cities that boycott Arizona and refuse to enforce our laws. We are the majority, so lets act like it, and not let the left use this opportunity to divide our country.<br />

Thank God she is willing to stand up for our principles and understands that this country was founded on the Judeo Christian belief system. Our founders, even though some were either agnostic or even atheists understood the right of all individuals to discuss and practice their religious beliefs in the public square. Somehow progressive thought has so distorted the original intend that the founders had in forming this wonderful country on religious freedom and biblical principles. Of course most of us understand there was no intention of removing all religious suggestions from the public square, but a simple 1st amendment prohibition of the government making laws respecting a religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.<br />
<br />
There's an inscription on the American Liberty bell that reads..."Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." {Leviticus 25:10}. Apparently the progressives believe this does not include religious freedom in the public square, and all religious references must be stripped from our public institutions. This is ludicrous and was never the original intent of our founders. Whenever Israel started to gather slaves and bond servants they were rebuked by God..."Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord." {Jeremiah 34:17}. The Judeo Christian belief system that was the inspiration for the founders was not oppressive but rather liberating to all that accepted it. Mans natural progression if not abated was to progress from anarchy to tyranny. George Washington said that, and this is the reason the founders emphasized individual rights rather than a collective mentality. Sarah Palin understands what all this means and she lives it daily...That's why we love her...<br />

When she first started as a Fox News contributor there was a slight nervousness and she did seem to repeat herself a lot. Now there's more depth of understanding and an incredibly likable connection that seems natural with her. I watched the interview, trying to be as objective as possible, and found myself informed in a reasonable common sense way that brought the issue into clear view for me and I'm sure millions of other Americans. I turned to me wife who had just walked into the room and asked her to watch it as I pushed the DVR replay button. She sat there silently and had the exact same reaction at the conclusion of the interview. Up to this point she has not been all that enthusiastic about the governor. She appreciated Sarah's ability to break down the immigration law in Arizona to easily understandable terms that cut through all the race baiting rhetoric.<br />
<br />
Sarah's ability to unite the country rather than divide it will speak to most Americans except of course those that wish to divide for political advantage. Much like our illustrious president who seems to want to turn the immigration debate into a racial rather than law enforcement issue. He understands he loses when it comes to the legality of immigration so his attempt to divide on racial lines is not constructive, and is devolving into the least common denominator. It's painful to watch a president who took an oath to uphold the constitution of the United States politicize this issue on racial grounds for some democrat bump in the midterms. It will not work, and Sarah understands the American people are not racists, and the idea of labeling them as such for political advantage is anathema. Her ability to shed the vicious attacks on her by the far left is refreshing and bodes well for a presidential run in 2012. There will be no name she hasn't been called, and every derogatory label will have been used and failed to stick. She continues to be a champion of common sense conservatives as well as a lightning rod to the left. The big question is, does she have the ability to reach that squishy middle and explode the narrative the left has tried to construct about her?<br />
<br />
If she continues with successful and revealing interviews like this recent one, and can gain the ear of the undecided she should progress far beyond any ones expectations. We all remember that her initial coming out at the republican convention in 2008 was a smashing success, and the more she can articulate her views and policy positions without a mainstream media filter the better her chances of winning over the public that has been bombarded with misinformation about her. The narrative the left has projected is tired and easily destroyed with just a few minutes of Sarah being herself with charm and grace. Truly no politician in my lifetime appears to have the ability to connect with common sense Americans like Sarah Palin. Americans are tired of being talked down to by the ruling elite, and crave a real down to earth leader that shares their values and a strong sense of patriotic duty. The stars may be aligned for a small government, common sense conservative politician, with free market experience and a strong sense of right and wrong. The president and the democrats over reach may be paving the road for just that. Their assaults on freedom and free markets plus Sarah's championing the same are nurturing an environment for a massive shift back to a government by, for, and of the people.Watch Sarah's interview <a href="http://www.thefoxnation.com/sarah-palin/2010/04/28/palin-obama-pushing-racial-myth">here</a>...<br />

Sarah Palin picked up on the presidents obvious bone headed statement to once again reveal his problem with our unmatched power. Once again she makes a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=380458453434">Face book posting</a> that hits this president right where it hurts. She never seems to miss an opportunity to point out the very un-American leanings of our American president. If most people are as offended by Obama's statement as I am, then they should be just as appreciative that Sarah is holding him accountable.<br />
<br />
These types of statements seem to be coming at an increased regularity. In an answer to a reporters question about American Exceptionalism Obama responded by saying, "<i>I believe in American exceptionalism just as I suspect the Brits would believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism</i>." This shows he really doesn't understand why America is the exception and not the rule, as he's confusing exceptionalism with national pride. That may be why he's trying to move our country to a European style of socialism and blur the lines between America and the rest of the world.<br />
<br />
Sarah, on the other hand understands what makes this country great and different than any other in the history of mankind. She knows why we've, up to this point been the envy of the world and a refuge from tyranny and oppression. She has the same kind of positive outlook that resided in Ronald Reagan that brought us out from the malaise of the Carter years and put us on a road to economic and psychological recovery. It's time to applaud those that defend and uphold our values rather than apologize for them like this president has repeatedly done. Obama is making a midterm massacre seem like a slam dunk, although none of us should take it for granted and we should continue to fight with every fiber of our being to make sure it happens.<br />
<br />
We should all pick up on Sarah's lead and not let anti-American statements by this administration and the democrats in congress go without a challenge, and be sure they're brought to the attention of everyone in our sphere of influence. We can win this battle one voter at a time, so go out and educate yourself. Stay informed and remember we have our little general running interference in the mainstream media that starts a dialogue that will expose this president for who is, and what he's attempting to do to our country.<br />

Her critique of Obama's new nuclear non-proliferation doctrine drew a question for Obama from George Stephanapoulis on a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_zSBtx76B8&feature=related">Good Morning America segment</a>. You could see that the messiah was visibly annoyed at the question, as he tried to dismiss Sarah's take on the issue as inconsequential, and contended she lacked any kind of experience in nuclear issues.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thefoxnation.com/obama-vs-palin/2010/04/09/palin-goes-nuclear-community-organizer-mocks-obama-doctrine">Sarah shot back at the SRLC</a>, <i>Southern Republican Leadership Conference,</i> later in the week and mocked Obama's nuclear experience as a community organizer. She has an inherent ability to strike at the core of Obama's inexperience with humor and derision that usually sends the audience into uproarious laughter. The president would be wise not to engage her, as Sarah's followup remarks are damaging and always get much press. Could it be a preview of presidential debates to come? Her appearance at the conference was very well received and the conference as a whole was full of excellent speeches.<br />
<br />
Tina Fey hosted Saturday Night Live this week and of course what would her appearance be without a <a href="http://realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/04/11/snl_the_sarah_palin_network.html">Sarah Palin impression</a> segment. The mocking segment of the Sarah Palin Network was actually quite funny, and really showed a contrast between Sarah's common sense approach as opposed to Obama's intellectual theory form of governing. I don't know if it was intentional but it actually struck a note of how out of touch this president is with the American people. I'm sure she was trying to paint Sarah as a simplistic ditz, but by contrasting Obama's agenda and pointing out how the American people are now beginning to view his policies, he didn't come off all that well. Of course she had to take a shot at Tea Party activists and try to make them look stupid, fat, and tobacco chewing rednecks. The problem is the demographics of Tea Party participants is just the opposite. Rather then Sarah supporters getting upset at Fey's mocking impressions, they should rejoice, understanding that impression is the highest form of flattery, and if Sarah wasn't relevant to the debate there would be none of this. As a conservative man, I can't help but notice that even though Fey does a decent impression, she pales in comparison to Sarah's beauty.<br />
<br />
As we move closer to those vaunted midterms, Sarah's appearance in news story will undoubtedly increase as she crisscrosses the country campaigning for conservatives everywhere. This administration will be swamped with questions about Sarah's criticism and this should make for some interesting coverage. I'm wondering if news rooms around the country will continue to take flak from the administration for asking the messiah questions about Sarah's take on the issues. As a Chicago style community organizer, we all know how prickly he can get when he's not allowed to control the debate. Sarah gets under the skin of this administration and the democrats more than any one individual out there today.<br />

The show was inspiring much like Sarah herself. She seemed completely comfortable in this format. What Americans need today is more of this kind of programming that highlight the inspirational and heart tucking stories of Americans who've overcome adversity, or have been unusually heroic. The human spirit is limitless in it's ability to overcome any situation, and I can't think of a more appropriate host than Sarah Palin. She has overcome the odds and venomous attacks to come out the other side with a cheerful positivity that is attracting conservative and others all over the country. She has a gift of making comfortable those she had on the show. When the dog Elia wouldn't respond to commands she adroitly mentioned maybe he thought you'd said fetch. Earlier the Mother has revealed that was one command he wouldn't obey. It brought some levity to an uncomfortable moment for the family. That is a gift that few people possess. Ronald Reagan had that ability.<br />
<br />
Sarah kicked off the first stop at the Tea Party Express last week in Searchlight Nevada to a rousing crowd. You almost feel sorry for poor old Harry Reid, with that kind of crowd gathering in his home town rallying against his leadership and unfortunate deal making that rammed through an un-popular and unwise health care bill. Next week she joins Sean Hannity and Michele Bachmann in Minnesota for another huge gathering. These two dynamic conservative women are doing more to resist the agenda of Barack Obama than most of the republican men combined. Kudos to the strong and conservative female contingent that is also providing leadership in the Tea Part Movement all over the country. We men will have to step up our game to keep up with an overwhelming increase in conservative women finding their voice in opposition to what is happening to our country. We shouldn't be intimidated, just inspired, and there is no greater inspiration then Sarah Palin.<br />

Her page included a map that showed dots with cross hairs on them as the target districts. <a href="http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/mary-kate-cary/2010/03/25/sarah-palin-tea-party-leaders-must-condemn-healthcare-threats.html">Mary Kate Cary</a> in a US News and World Report article criticizes the little general for using this graphic. Apparently the use of a<i> target</i> to indicate a <i>target</i> will somehow incite violence, and put those democrat congressmen in grave danger. Maybe the huge national chain "<i>Target</i>," should remove their logo from all their stores to not present wannabe snipers a convenient <i>target</i>. Apparently they trying to tell us that Sarah is somehow sending a subliminal message to all Tea Party, {gun toting, tobacco chewing, trigger happy, angry red necks,} they have the <i>go ahead</i> to take these congressmen and women out. The absurdity of their claim is laughable.<br />
<br />
Most of these Main stream media sycophants of the democrat party are however buying into the coordinated effort by the democrat party to marginalize opponents of Obama Care, and cloud the debate, and distract from the new information coming out about the bill. Nancy Pelosi was right when she said, "we have to pass the bill so we can know what is in it." Whether or not the isolated threats, as well as the racial and sexual slurs are real, or orchestrated by democrat operatives is still an unanswered question. But, the democrat party's talking points and the media's over coverage is obviously coordinated. They are still on a nonstop campaign to marginalize both the Tea Party activists and Sarah Palin. Where were they when all the real threats and hate speech was happening for the eight years of <i>Bush Cheney</i>?<br />
<br />
Sarah has signed an agreement to star in an eight part miniseries on the Discovery Channel called,<i> "Sarah Palin's Alaska</i>." She says she looks forward to working with executive producer Mark Burnett to bring the wonder and majesty of Alaska to all Americans. She is also heading to West Virginia to campaign against the reelection of two congressmen who voted for Obama Care. She said in her Face Book posting, "We are going to fire them and send them back to the private sector, which has been shrinking thanks to their destructive government-growing policies. Maybe when they join the millions of unemployed, they'll understand why Americans wanted them to focus on job creation and an invigorated private sector. Come November we're going to be printing pink slips for members of congress faster than they've been printing money." I must say I'm feeling a little sorry for congressmen Mollohan and Rahall. Sarah's obvious star power will engender huge audiences and attention to their ill advised votes on Obama Care. This is only a prelude to her crisscrossing the country for the next seven months campaigning for conservative candidates while exposing the progressives who's arrogant indifference to the will of the people is putting our economy at risk.<br />
<br />
It's time to put up or shut up for freedom loving Americans who are appalled by Obama Care and the continued non-stop growth of the federal government. We have in Sarah Palin a leader that has the character and resolve to pave the way for a massive electoral revolt against elitism and unchecked spending that is careening our economy into a debilitating ditch. She has been tried and tested through the fires of a national campaign. She's come out the other side stronger, wiser and more determined than ever to lead the disaffected and marginalized middle America to defeating the powers of progressive policy. Her resolve in the face of constant sniping should encourage the discouraged, and empower the powerless to stand tall in the face of tyranny. The leader is leading, the army is growing, and the targets of the American people's wrath are well in focus. Let's retake our country.<br />
