God, Guts, & Sarah Palin
Barbaric Thoughts Blog ^ | August 15, 2009 | Dewie Whetsell

Posted on 11/21/2009 9:03:31 AM PST by Navy Patriot

The last 45 of my 66 years I’ve spent in a commercial fishing town in Alaska. I understand Alaska politics but never understood national politics well until this last year. Here’s the breaking point: Neither side of the Palin controversy gets it…It’s not about persona, style, rhetoric, it’s about doing things. Even Palin supporters never mention the things that I’m about to mention here.

1- 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. Many of them are now residing in State housing and wearing orange jump suits. The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti and singing “la la la la” (well, you know how they are). Name another governor in this country that has ever done anything similar. But while you’re thinking, I’ll continue.

2- 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. Of course the other huge international oil companies meekly fell in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country that has done anything similar.

Just a reminder of why the DemoRats, RINOs, and eliteist corporate power structure fear Sarah Palin. All their corrupt personal fifedoms would be endangered, while ethical producers are freed to get the job done.

We can’t trust Sarah to toe the Rebublican party line - and, sorry to have to say it, that’s a good thing.

“We can’t trust Sarah to toe the Rebublican party line - and, sorry to have to say it, that’s a good thing.”

Since the GOP line is “better and cheaper big government”, I have to agree with you.

It would be wonderful to have a person with that integrity and fairness as a leader. However, that scares the scum on the right as much as the scum on the left. She is a warning shot over the bow of both parties. How can we get her in?

She’s outside of the Beltway and therefore scares the crap out of both wings of the same party.

Continue to expose and neutralize the RINO Republicans. Withhold donations to RNC, donate to and canvass for individual (historically) Conservative candidates, Republican or Conservative party. Inform the RNC of your donations, Soros money RINOs out before your money/support in. Hopefully this will remove the shills that they intend to run instead of Sarah or her equivalent.

Finally, trust in the Zer0 Rats to burn down their own house, and hope there is enough left to rebuild the country afterward.

It really does remind me of the years leading up to Reagan getting the Republican nomination. The left began to demonize Reagan in the mid-70's when he challenged Gerry Ford for the nomination. It was clear to the left that Reagan was an unstoppable force, and it scared them sh**less.

The same thing appears to be happening with Palin. MSBNC made themselves look foolish with Chrissy, Norah O'Donnell and that woman from Salon trying to paint the crowds as white "tribal" racists. They would do better to not cover the book signings at all. They are simply making an even bigger rockstar out of her.

The RATS have ACORN to get out the vote & man the polls. We need our own ARMY of footsoldiers, POLLWATCHERS & pro bono lawyers who nip anything irregular right in the bud before it becomes a tsunami of vote stealing.

The voter registrations have to be purged too. You know - the RAT prop dead ones have to be removed!!

All of this has to be planned & put in place to be ready. It's a great undertaking & definitely not an overnight project.

And wasn’t it Pres. Reagan who handled the Air Traffic Controllers strike by saying get back to work or be fired? And he fired them.

The ACEs tax is the biggest beef I have with her, and the sole source of my dislike of her. It is burdensome & socialistic and has driven investment out of the state. Oil accounts for ~85% of the AK state budget, and they're killing the goose thats been laying golden eggs.
