It's Beginning to Look Like A Campaign . . .

Hmmmm, looky here

So what's the message with the new web site look?

Is Governor Palin starting to make a move or is it just purely coincidence?

This will be fun to sit back and watch the Liberals take the bate. Whether you agree with her or not, you have to give it to her, she knows how to tweak the Libs. You would thinks these so-called elite intellectuals would learn to ignore her but maybe they aren't as smart as they keep telling us . . .

 

Palin Derange Syndrome Is Irrationalism on Steriods

it's a disease that is spreading rapidly through the Left . . .

With all the attention over the weekend given to politically charged words, it got me to wondering about a subject that up to now, I just didn't want to address because a couple people that I know fit these abnormal characteristics.

The subject is Sarah Palin and this intense, intense derange syndrome that folks who are anti-Palin seem to have acquired.

Even the mention of her name makes their heads almost burst.

It stuns me the intense emotion that comes out on this subject and I just don't get it. It's especially troubling because I have a couple really close friends of mine who make some of the darnedest inflammatory comments about Sarah Palin.

I follow politics more than either of these individuals and I can not  for the life of me figure out what in the world Sarah Palin every said or did that would get an almost violent reaction from these folks.  Disagree with her politically, sure, but this hyperactive, irrational and quite honestly embarrassing language that comes from these people is just appalling. I've read one of her books and I've watched each of the episodes of her TLC show "Sarah Palin's Alaska" and I see her on FOX on occasion and I've read her blog on a rare occasion and I . . . don't . . . get it.

She doesn't beat baby seals, she doesn't push down elderly women as they try and cross the street and  she doesn't abort babies . . . ok, so that one may may have legs.

So what could it be? If we step back, what do those of us in the lower 48 really know about Sarah Palin prior to her stint as a V.P. candidate? 

I got an e-mail today which led me to a web site that  had some background information that maybe, just maybe some folks might want to read. It might add some depth. By the way, I was also able to find that FactCheck.org, a liberal group, checked these statements and found them to be valid. 

"By Dewie Whetsell,  Alaskan Fisherman.
 The last 45 of my 66 years I've spent in a commercial fishing town in Alaska. Even Palin supporters never mention the things that I'm about to mention here.
 
Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as soon as Palin took the Governor's office away from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republican's "Corrupt Bastards Club" (CBC) and sent them packing. The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti.

Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So she constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called "ACES." Exxon (the biggest corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told them, "don't let the door hit you in the stern on your way out." They stayed, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich.

The other thing she did when she walked into the governor's office is she got the list of State requests for federal funding for projects, known as "pork." She went through the list, took 85% of them and placed them in the "when-hell-freezes-over" stack. She let locals know that if we need something built, we'll pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured she could use the money she got from selling the previous governor's jet because it was extravagant. Maybe she could use the money she saved by dismissing the governor's cook (remarking that she could cook for her own family), giving back the State vehicle issued to her, maintaining that she already had a car, and dismissing her State provided security force (never mentioning - I imagine - that she's packing heat herself).

Now, even with her much-ridiculed "gosh and golly" mannerism, she also managed to put together a totally new approach to getting a natural gas pipeline built which will be the biggest private construction project in the history of North America."
 

Ok, well, I don't see anything here that should make a good Liberal's emotional meter to skyrocket toward insanity when the name Palin is mentioned. But hey, if anyone can give me some credible facts to justify why some people on the Left blow a gasket every time her name comes up, then please do because otherwise, I'm left with the impression that as one famous philosopher (!) of Hollywood wrote in a script:

"stupid is as stupid does"

 

 

Strong Republican Women

strong women have and are part of my life . . .

My entire life I've been surrounded by strong women. My grandmother, my mother's mother was one of the most amazing women, who lived through the depression, raised a family during the rationing of World War II and survived two brain surgeries when they were rare to be performed. Through it all, she maintained her great sense of humor and pride and was a strong Baptist woman who never said anything bad about anyone. My mother, her daughter followed in her footsteps. I will never be able to thank her enough for the great upbringing that I received from her. And then there's my sister who proves that genetics is strong as she has so many characteristics of my grandmother and mother. And then there is my wife and our daughter, two women who I can not imagine living without.

So for this male, I'm used to strong women and I relish women such as Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann of Minnesota. Yesterday, Palin was in Minnesota on behalf of Bachmann who is up for re-election in November. Politico which tends to swerve left, I thought has a good piece on the event and a nice snippet of video. So click here to go to the article and video.

Why Sarah Palin Resonants with Moms & Dads in America

it's a reflection that we can see . . .

How can someone that has been so viciously attacked still be popular with millions of moms and dads across this country?  My gosh, how does Sarah Palin even register on the favorability chart considering all the hate speech thrown at Sarah and Todd and worse, toward their children?

The answer is simple really.

Moms and dads across this country look at Sarah and Todd as one of them, a couple who can relate to the every day ups and downs of raising a family while maintaining jobs inside and/or outside the home.

It's a connection that completely blinds those in the State run media and in the snobbish, insecurity-riddle vacuum found predominately in the so-called elites on both coasts.

Sarah is someone that my wife and I could sit down with and have a conversation about any topic that families across this country encounter each day. I know that Sarah and Todd could walk into a Wal Mart(the Satan to elitists) and easily find the items they need because they have done that. I know that Sarah could talk about kids, issues facing communities; those facing states; those facing grandparents but also, Sarah would talk about foreign and domestic issues facing this country.Is she perfect? No, but she is REAL.

My point is that Sarah and Todd Palin are us. They face the family issues that we face each day. They get their kids ready for school each day; they fix dinner; they get them to activities and they have that special bond with so many parents across this country through their youngest son and his special needs.

That my friends is what the State run media and all those elitists on both coasts don't get. They can't take it that Sarah and Todd are just your normal(!) every-day people who like to go out in a fishing boat and wear hip waders. Oh my god Buffy, that's just so icky. 

They can't take it that Sarah didn't attend Hawvard(I know it's Harvard, but I wrote it as the elites pronounce it!) or Columbia(Obama's college). My god man, how can anyone that attended Idaho be smart enough to be President?

And to that I say, gosh I don't know looks like all those Hawvard and related Ivy League graduates who are or have been President along with their Ivy League advisers have done a pretty damn good job of running this country into financial ruin (see graph).

I also think it just drives these people nuts that Sarah has this great, positive view of life. She always seems to have a smile on her face; she loves to interact with people and she sees the good that America and the people of this country have to offer. That's quite a contrast to her critics who always are frowning, complaining or apologize to foreign countries. It's just down right depressing. They mask their insecurities by trying to make folks like Sarah and Todd and the rest of us out here, feel bad about ourselves.

The State run media and the leftist elites have basically become circus clowns in the biggest show on earth. Everyone knows that you laugh at the circus clowns. It's the aerial artists that the crowd comes to see.

Sarah Palin is the ultimate aerial artist that moms and dads across the country see as someone who holds our attention and in whom we admire for her hard work and dedication to her family.

As Ronald Reagan once said, "Don't be afraid to see what you see."

Oh my friends, I believe that the State run media and the leftist elites do see Sarah Palin and they are afraid. Very afraid . . . .
