During her CPAC speech last Saturday, Governor Palin included some Alaskan constitutional populism (emphasis added):
If Mrs. Thatcher were with us here today, she would remind us that there is a big difference between being pro-business and being pro-free market. On this there can be no mistake where conservatives stand. It's time for “We the People” to break up the cronyism and put a stake through the heart of "too big to fail" once and for all.
That includes these resource-rich states like Alaska, my home state. Read your constitution, Alaskans. Realize that the natural resources that God has created for man's use -- they're not owned by the big multinational conglomerates and the monopolies. They're owned by the people. They don't own them, so don't let them own you. You have a right to those resources to be developed for our use.
Governor Palin rightfully notes two important issues in particular--1) the Alaskan constitution's charge that development of resources for the good of the people 2) the warning that the people (and politicians) of Alaska not allow themselves to be owned by the oil companies.

The takeaway here, as it always is with Sarah P., is that she didn’t just she didn’t just hang out in Juneau after winning the governorship. She got down to business. THAT, never happens.
And plenty of PDSers here will tell you why that was a terrible thing to do....
This isn't the godless communist dim party, is it?
If you can't accept/tolerate/non discriminate hate against Christians, or, Christianity, you don't belong here.
The best characterization I've seen of the hatred shown by the left (and some Republicans) for Sarah Palin was given by Freeper Nathan Bedford some time ago. He very aptly (in my view) compared it to the irrational hatred that John Claggart had for Billy Budd in Herman Melville's short story. He made that point so well, that I can't seem to think of Sarah, without also thinking of Billy Budd anymore...and vice versa. Sarah Palin is the Billy Budd of modern American politics.
