Ever since she burst onto the national stage as Sen. John McCain’s running mate in the 2008 presidential election, Sarah Palin has been scrutinized and ridiculed by the “tolerant” left.
Palin’s family has come under attack, as well.
Over the past decade, the former governor of Alaska has handled things with a grace unseen from most politicians.
Yesterday was the anniversary of Palin’s church being burned that led to her announcement to step down as governor.
Here’s what she said then…
From American Thinker:
One month after Obama’s victory against McCain and Palin, Palin’s Wasilla church was burned around its entire perimeter with women and children inside and temperatures outside at 20 below zero. It was a political hate crime that got little media coverage. December 12 is the anniversary of that crime. Not too long after, Palin quit her position as governor and was roundly mocked as a quitter after being besieged by politicized allegations. On July 3 of 2009, she explained:
In fact, this decision comes after much consideration, and finally polling the most important people in my life — my children (where the count was unanimous… well, in response to asking: ‘Want me to make a positive difference and fight for ALL our children’s future from OUTSIDE the Governor’s office?’ It was four “yes’s” and one “hell yeah!” The “hell yeah” sealed it — and someday I’ll talk about the details of that… I think much of it had to do with the kids seeing their baby brother Trig mocked by some pretty mean-spirited adults recently.) Um, by the way, sure wish folks could ever, ever understand that we ALL could learn so much from someone like Trig — I know he needs me, but I need him even more… what a child can offer to set priorities RIGHT — that time is precious… the world needs more ‘Trigs’, not fewer.
…
[…]Had Palin’s endorsement gone another way, Trump might not have taken flight in the broad field of 19 candidates deployed by the RNC.
There has never been any sense of remorse or apology from the left about what happened to Palin. There has been no celebration of the feminism embodied in the female leaders of Trump today such as Ivanka Trump, Hope Hicks, and Kellyanne Conway. Palin was a forerunner of the kind of countercultural resistance to identity-based politics played by American Jacobins. The inauguration of Donald Trump will be Sarah Palin’s revenge, and it will pose a long-term threat to identity politics as we have long known it.
It’s true that Palin has been a fierce supporter of Trump’s from early on.
But that doesn’t mean she’s completely subservient.
Palin recently wrote an op-ed for YoungCons where she goes into detail about the crony capitalism displayed by Trump with the Carrier deal.
Throughout it all, Palin has remained an iron-willed, proud conservative who just wants to see America recover from the dark days of Obama – as do the rest of us.
Love Palin and would love for Trump to find a role for her in his administration.
No words.
Too bad her endorsement speech was weird.
>> Palin recently wrote an op-ed for YoungCons where she goes into detail about the crony capitalism displayed by Trump with the Carrier deal.
Palin went into detail about the crony capitalism displayed by Trump? Really?
And tax breaks & incentives are indicative of crony capitalism? Well, that’s news to me.
I loved the way she trolled the media about their phony Russian “hacking” concerns:
Sarah: Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on em for ya. I can see em from my house, remember?
She'll love driving the left mad over nothing while they remain oblivious to the real changes that will happen.
Sarah promised to keep an eye on the Russians from her front porch for Tina Fey.
All this talk of Russians when Obama was the who spent hundreds of thousands in Israel to keep Netanyahu from winning. Such hypocrites.
I think Trump wasn’t happy.
If she is going to pile onto Trump like the rest of the world, she needs to shut her pie-hole and go back to taking care of her screwed up family. We don’t Need this crap, she has no idea what the ‘deal’ was. He may have talked them into staying due to his corporate tax changes.
The libs on Twitter relentlessly hurl insults toward her and her family. They are terribly hateful.
And on Free Republic.
“Why did she turn bitch and bite the hand that fed her. SHE CAN GO TO HELL!!”
WTF was this anyway????

Isn't he out of jobs to give out?
Read that Veteran's want TRUMP to keep the VA guy & no one else :'(
She did nothing of the sort.
She did nothing of the sort.
Many of the haters are simply women much less pretty...or downright fugly.
