Gov. Sarah Palin waves to a crowd of 6,000 on her way to the podium to speak at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in Houston, Texas.
The National Rifle Association has been vilified by a slanted media. The law abiding, patriotic group has been painted as the bad guy on the heels of Sandy Hook and other acts of violence. Leftist politicians have lied about the NRA and they’ve exploited children every step of the way to create a false narrative. If any group needed a boost it is the NRA. Well, that boost came in a big way Friday afternoon in Texas, grizzly style. The NRA’s annual convention kicked off in Houston and Governor Sarah Palin, who has fought for our Second Amendment like no one else, addressed the massive crowd.
This year’s NRA theme is “Stand and Fight”. How appropriate. Governor Palin has stood her ground against the attacks and has fought for gun owners without wavering.
SarahNET Radio was on hand for Palin’s remarks which led of with a well received “We are fighting the fight!”.
“Leaders are in it for themselves not for the American people,” Palin said wearing a ‘Women Hunt’ T-shirt. “Emotion is not leadership.” Palin gave a voice to what commonsense citizens have been thinking.
Palin pointed out that the same media that buried George W. Bush serves as a cheerleader for Barack Obama, who according to Palin “wrote the book on exploiting tragedy.”
Along with Obama, Palin also called out Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, and Diane Feinstein for using unethical tactics. “It’s not just self serving,” Palin said. “It’s destructive and it must stop.”
Showing once again that she can use props to effectively deliver a message better than Carrot Top, Governor Palin whipped out a tin of smokeless tobacco when addressing the hypocrisy of New York City Mayor Bloomberg who wants it to be illegal to display legal tobacco products. The move was met with laughs and cheers, similar to the response the. Palin Big Gulp received at CPAC earlier this year. She joked that she swiped the dip from Todd. On Bloomberg Palin said he’s “bitterly clinging to the notion that government must control the people.”
Palin quoted John Adams and Maragert Thatcher and told the crowd we can learn lessons of freedom from them.
Things turned ultra-serious when Palin used the Kermit Gosnell case as an example of how sorely we lack integrity in the media. The Governor said there’s been nothing but silence while this “monstrous mass murderer” butched babies.
The battle for the Second Amendment is personal to Governor Palin. “This fight is about what kind of people we are,” Palin said. She added that she wants her son Trig to grow up in an exceptional country. The Second Amendment is a necessary component.
There’s no mistake about the heart and spirit of those who hold our Second Amendment dear. What drives Governor Palin is equally clear. “What keeps us reloading in this fight is the faces I see here today,” Palin said. “I love you guys.”
Governor Palin closed out her optimistic speech while those in attendance cheered and clapped. “Keep the faith,” Palin implored. “Stand up for our freedoms. God bless you all. God bless the United States of America”
Just weeks ago the liberal Toomey-Manchin gun control bill was shot down and then Friday, Sarah Palin assured us that we will continue to battle anyone who tries to pick apart our sacred right to bear arms. Great news for the NRA. Great news for liberty. Great news for America.
