Sarah Palin: An Inconvenient Truth!

Sarah Palin stepped into the national political limelight in August 2008 when then presidential candidate John McCain chose her as his running mate, making her the first female vice-presidential nominee of the Republican Party. Since that day, Sarah Palin has come under much scrutiny from the press, severely and cruelly attacked by the justly insecure, propagandist fanatical left who for some unknown reason contend that she is “stupid” and “dangerous” to America.


I recently interviewed many of my friends and asked them how they felt about Gov. Palin. The consensus response was unsurprisingly unanimous, accompanied by facial expressions of bewilderment and disdain: “I hate her”. When further pressed to elaborate on the response, most, just stared at me with a shocked, panicked, and confused expression on their faces, simply replying: “She’s stupid, just look at her face.” Three, however were willing to tackle the subject.

The first, a young lady in her early twenties, stated that if I showed her any interview involving the former Gov. of Alaska, she would point out specifically why she despises her, so I asked her to help me and research it further. One week later, when asked if she had completed the research on this query, she merely countered “No, but I take issue with her saying that she’s "rogue", it makes her look as though she doesn’t know the meaning of the word. Put that on your blog”. Ok…Fair enough!

Encarta Dictionary definition of the word “rogue” as it relates to the context:

Rogue (adjective) 1.Unorthodox and unpredictable. Acting independently and using unorthodox methods that are unpredictable and are likely to cause trouble.
I’m not sure who is uninformed on the meaning of this word “rogue”, but as I see it; it actually seems to be an appropriate use of word, describing the course the former governor has chosen to take in her political career on both state and national level, Palin also explained that she took the title of her national bestselling book “Going Rogue: An American Life” from the phrase 'gone rogue' used by McCain staffers to describe her behavior when she spoke her mind on the issues during the campaign. Another words; she doesn’t follow, she leads!

The second, a young man who claims not to be interested in politics, mentioned the statement Mrs. Palin made in her Sept. 11, 2008 interview with ABC's Charlie Gibson regarding Russia: "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska." albeit it was misquoted as if she had said that she could see Russia from her house instead of from “land here in Alaska”. The surprising fact is that you can see Russia from Alaska, and all of Sarah’s critics either fail to research this or mention it, leading those who hear about it, to believe that it’s simply an unintelligent avowal.

A Question of Integrity!

Race, the final frontier, this is an issue we all avoid, to seek out new paths, new ways, to boldly go where most… Well, you get the idea! Yes my friends, most of us would prefer to bury our heads in the sand and pretend this isn’t an issue, but it is and it’s deeply entrenched in our society! I’m talking about xenophobia a.k.a. racism.

In a recent conversation with a childhood -friend, I found out that her father was not fond of me because, well… to be blunt, I was left in the proverbial toaster for longer than some! On the other hand, I was audaciously labeled a “racist” simply because I disagree with the political policies of someone who is of African ancestry. So, since I get slapped equally from both sides of the ignorant asylum, I feel that this is a pretty safe subject for me.

When Will They Learn?

It’s amazing; the elitist left-wing media continuously jabs the American People!

The recent emergence of the “Tea Party” movement, a grass-roots faction of the American People that unite around fiscal conservatism and the conviction that the government, regardless of political affiliation, has overstepped its powers, arranged earlier by the constitution, has many a left wing elitist anxious. This anxiety has led many prominent individuals from various media outlets, in their arrogance, to come out and attack the dignity, integrity and intelligence of the American people, labeling us with several choice invective terms austerily because we fail to agree with the established progressive/liberal governmental policies. Is there any wonder why the New York Times readership has fallen to catastrophic levels and MSNBC's ratings are declining dramatically on almost a daily basis!
The following video documentary, samples exactly what these exclusive snobs think of us.

Miss Me Yet?

Recently I had a delightful discussion with a democratic acquaintance of mine regarding the leadership of our country. The opposing view was that our current president is undoubtedly the “best president we ever had”. His argument is that Obama's ability to manage this nation is solely based on him being an extremely intelligent man established by the fact that he graduated from Harvard Law School. President Obama is indeed an Harvard Law School graduate, no one can take that from him, and there is no doubt that he is intelligent, however, is that what qualifies him to lead the country? Let’s examine Obama’s credentials.

Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He served three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. He won the election to the U.S. Senate in November 2004. Obama's presidential campaign began in February 2007, and after a close campaign in the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries against Hillary Rodham Clinton, he won his party's nomination.

The Audacity to Lie!

Our President is indeed audacious! There should be absolutely no doubt in our minds now. But if memory serves me correctly that was the title of one of his books, "The Audacity of Hope". However, his audaciousness is not hope but flat out lies.


Barack Obama in his nationally televised State of the Union Address, on January 27th 2010 said:

“To close that credibility gap we must take action on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue to end the out sized influence of lobbyists; to do our work openly; and to give our people the government they deserve... That’s what I came to Washington to do. That’s why – for the first time in history – my Administration posts our White House visitors online. And that’s why we’ve excluded lobbyists from policy-making jobs or seats on federal boards and commissions.”

Well... well... well. I wonder why the liberal media, in all its glorified self righteousness has not jumped on this head first. After all, had these been the words of a conservative president they surely would have ripped him apart for telling flat out lies, like this to congress and the American people. What lies you're asking? Well my friend, allow me to give you the disparaging news that this White House administration is all but void of lobbyists.

Shall we start with Mr. William Lynn, serving in the Pentagon, assigned by Obama as the Deputy Defense Secretary. Now, before working for the President, William Lynn was, guess what? You're right! A lobbyist for none other than defense contractor Raytheon, where he was a senior executive.

Now, one would say, ok somebody slipped through the cracks, give the man a break, what's the big deal! Well my friends it's not just Mr. Lynn.

How Ironic!


 In one of his many recent media appearances, President Obama mentioned without the least bit of irony that our children are growing up in a society that does not value hard work. This is indeed an excellent observation by our leader. Now, if only someone could get to the bottom as to why our children are not taught the values of hard work and self reliance! Hum... let me think here... could it be that the left wing progressive, latte drinking, tree hugging, Volvo driving, bleeding heart liberal media and educational professionals teach our children that they can be rich and famous with-out doing any work. Oh... wait... The President did say that! My bad. However, he did leave out as to where our children get those ideas from! That's right, they get it from the President's friends, the left wing progressive, latte drinking, tree hugging, Volvo driving, bleeding heart liberal media and educational professionals. That's right kids, never fear, big brother is here and if you happen to buy a champagne priced house while only being able to afford the beer priced one, we'll bail you out. If you happen to drive a "clunker" we'll bail you out. That's right boys and girls, fairness to all, we're all equal, everyone should have equal and free of everything, and the government will do it all for you! Now, should you make too much money, we'll have to take it from you in the form of taxes and spread it around with those who are "less fortunate" than us, who choose to sit on their asses and wait for a hand out from big brother.

How about this Mr. President, considering that you have failed to keep all the promises you made in you campaign even though you had a house full of your own com-padres, do something right for a change, take the lead on this since you brought it up and explain to you progressive buddies in Washington that we are not a socialist republic nor will we ever be. You taught constitutional law in Harvard! You know that we will never let it get to that. After you finish, you can then stop spending money as if it grew on trees, what was your budget for this year? 3.8 trillion dollars? Are you kidding? Where is all that money coming from, China? Oh, yes it is... we're borrowing from china the money we pay them to purchase their Products! Makes a whole lot of sense! How about stopping all entitlement programs, welfare? No welfare for anyone. Actually, speaking of welfare, I recently came across this snippet from the great and talented comedian Bill Cosby, if I may reproduce it here for all to see. Now let's keep in mind that Mr. Cosby is a comedian and at times he might be going a bit over-the-top, but I believe that we can all get the idea as to what he is saying.

AMERICA NEEDS A CANDIDATE WITH THIS PLATFORM!!


I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE YEAR 2012...

HERE IS MY PLATFORM:

(1). Any use of the phrase: ‘Press 1 for English’ is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait outside of our borders until you can.

(2). We will immediately go into a two year isolationist attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. America will allow NO imports and we’ll do no exports. We will use the ‘Wal-Mart’s policy, ‘If we ain’t got it, you don’t need it.’ We’ll make it here and sell it here!

(3). When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it coming in here.

(4). All retired military personnel will be required to man one of the many observation towers located on the southern border of the United States (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.

(5). Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn’t put nuttin in, you aren’t gettin nuttin out. Neither the President nor any other politician will be able to touch it.

(6). Welfare. — Checks will be handed out on Fridays, at the end of the 40 hour school week, the successful completion of a urinalysis test for drugs, and passing grades.

(7). Professional Athletes — Steroids? The FIRST time you check positive you’re banned from sports … for life.

(8). Crime — We will adopt the Turkish method, i.e., the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more ‘life sentences’. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for the victim you killed: gun, knife, strangulation, etc.

(9). One export of ours will be allowed: wheat; because the world needs to eat. However, a bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.

(10). All foreign aid, using American taxpayer money, will immediately cease and the saved money will help to pay off the national debt and, ultimately, lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we’ll ask The American People if they want to donate to a disaster fund and each citizen can make the decision as to whether, or not, it’s a worthy cause.

(11). The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress.

(12). The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.

My apology is offered if I’ve stepped on anyone’s toes …. Nevertheless…

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Sincerely, Bill Cosby

With this said, Mr. President, start leading, be the President! Let's start creating jobs... you can do this is by getting the government off our necks and ending the continuous stomping on business, big or small. Allow them to expand and create jobs. Let us go about our lives, stop telling us to listen to you as if you were the all mighty O-racle, you listen to the people.
