Blue-Collar Americans Embrace Palin's Defense of American Exceptionalism
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | November 26, 2013 | Tony Lee

Posted on 11/27/2013 12:00:42 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

At a recent book tour stop for her best-selling book, Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin drew a blue-collar crowd consisting of all races in Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

As can be seen in the video below, many who came to see Palin said they identified with her because she has a son in the military. Others said they loved her "values" and how she "stands by them." An active duty soldier said that Palin "speaks the truth" and is "straight-forward."

"And I like that so much," the active duty soldier said.

Another gentleman said Palin has "soldiers in her heart and we have her in ours." A woman said Palin is "better in real life" and noted how "genuine and sincere" she was.

Palin's tour has even sold out copies of the book in all of the book stores in a Wisconsin city, but the crowds she is drawing may be more reflective of Palin's appeal to blue-collar Americans of all races who value the country's traditions and culture.

Those like Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker have emphasized in recent weeks that Republicans need to win elections by not letting the "R" be branded as representing "rich guys" and speaking more to the hearts of blue-collar Americans....

It sure looks cold up there in Alaska. Sarah is one strong woman. I bet she could uses some of that fake global warming. Down here in New Orleans it will be 30 degrees( that's below freezing for any democrats/liberals reading this). unheard of here in the South and it's not even Winter yet. Global warming is a hoax. Will Alaska even be there soon with all the massive cooling to come?

At about 1:05-06 a dog (black lab?) stretches up to her table. The dog looks very enthusiastic to meet her and get his head petted.

Dogs know good people!

The more the liberal media attacks her the more people will wake up. I think Martin Bash*t verbally attack was so evil people are realizing..wait. Remember our Sarah warned the Americans of death panels before anyone. What did the media do..attack her. Now with Obamacare, people are seeing she was telling the truth.

May God Protect our Sarah and her family.

That’s unpossible. People keep saying she abandoned Alaska for Arizona.

(...do I really need the sarc tags?)
