Jewish Americans for Sarah Palin
“Peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real” – Sarah Palin
With these words, former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin becomes the first national political personality to support the growing resistance movement in America to aggressive Islamicization tactics. George W. Bush had bent over backwards not to offend American Muslims. Even as he sent U.S. troops to Afghanistan, and then Iraq, while pushing through the Patriot Act and creating the Department of Homeland Security, the White House was inviting Muslim leaders with extremist connections to attend the memorial ceremonies for 9/11.
A passel of Paul Reveres have been warning us that America faces not only the threats of foreign and home-grown Islamic terrorism, but the encroachment of “legal Islamism” as well – that is, the widespread and aggressive use of legal means to expand the Muslim footprint over our society. We are not talking here about Muslim individuals being allowed to use vacation days to observe Ramadan.
Instead, we are talking about an imam of dubious political provenance using foreign millions to erect a 15-storey Islamic center at the very place where thousands of Americans were incinerated by well-coordinated extremists acting in the name of their prophet.
Why would any peace-loving Muslim want to offend ordinary Americans by insisting on erecting a mosque there? Educated Muslims, as well as aficionados of their culture, know well that Islam has always used architecture to express political and spiritual dominance. In fact, so does every civilization. That’s why they took down the Twin Towers. As one caller to a Sunday talk show put it: “This is like the Japanese wanting to put a Shinto shrine at the entrance to Pearl Harbor.”
Now Sarah Palin has joined the fight. How wonderful that the latest “Palin endorsement” comes on the very day The New York Times runs a page 1 Sunday story of Gov. Palin’s emergence as the most influential figure in Republican politics. When the Times admits it, Sarah Palin has really arrived.
Gov. Palin has demonstrated once again that she is not afraid to listen to the warnings of our latter-day Paul Reveres. And to add her voice to theirs. As with the other famous “Palin endorsements,” may this one be for a game changer.
And another tweet, about 1 1/2 hours later: Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing – Sarah Palin
¡No mosque! ¡No mosque!
Sad that one woman has to do the job of the spineless Republican parasites in the Congress. Useless bastards.
My only complaint is the way it was written. Not using complete words is lazy. Why give the enemy ammunition?
This is plain common sense. The post-modern tolerance and inclusion brigade isn’t going to like it...at all.
Good for Sarah :)
For whatever reason, she chose to use Twitter, which only allows 140 characters per tweet.
Abbreviations (and using, for example, "4" for "for") are standard on Twitter. Totally acceptable. You have 140 characters maximum to make your point.
W/twitter she can hit millions in a flash
"Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate,"
Of course, the MSM loves to be handed this sort of ammunition:
Palin is one of the very few Republicans who isn’t afraid of a fight and will take the battle to the Dems. God Bless her!
Dude it is twitter, you only get so many spaces.
Honestly I love the word refudiate. Why did we not have this word before?
“Of course, the MSM loves to be handed this sort of ammunition:”
They shoot themselves in the foot. Everyone tweets and texts like that. Focusing on a misspelling makes them look like perfect snobs.
“Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing – Sarah Palin”
I do not care about the mosque issue, but this sentence is brilliant. It moves the discussion away from liberals talking about how they know how everyone thinks, to putting it into the Muslims’ side of the net, not that I have read many Muslims care about this, but if you are a liberal, you “know” they do because you believe they must believe how you think they should believe.
((((((((Ping))))))))
First, let’s build monuments to Christopher Columbus and Andrew Jackson on an Indian reservation.
I did not know Twitter had such limitations. If the State Run Media decides to exploit this do you think they will point out the limitation as well?
There is no denying the power of this woman. Whatever "it" is, she has "it" in spades.
I can think of a handful of tough, brilliant, patriotic, ex-military CEOs and CFOs that I represent that I think are more qualified than her to run this country.
However, they don't have the b@lls or the desire to leave the private sector. Palin rules.
