Sarah Palin energized a group of social conservatives at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference Saturday, blasting the Obama Administration’s apparent lawlessness, calling the current state of America “Orwellian,” and urging the United States to stay out of Syria’s chaotic and brutal civil war.
In comments to the Daily Caller, the 2008 candidate for vice president also declined to join many of her fellow Republicans in condemning National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, saying the real problem was the government’s violation of Americans’ rights.
In her speech, Palin called the current political atmosphere, rife with scandals, a “a symptom of a bigger disease,” expressing outrage over the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative nonprofits.
“You don’t marginalize everyday, average Americans. Those, who are part of the Tea Party, that want to protect the constitution,” said the former Alaska Governor. “The IRS can’t figure out how it spent $4 million dollars on a training conference because it lost its receipts… really?”
The 2008 GOP Vice-Presidential nominee said President Obama has lost the trust of the American people.
“Like the other day,” she said ”[Director of National Security Intelligence James Clapper] bragging that they used the ‘least untruthful statement.’ Now, where I come from that is called a lie.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Al Qaeda the group responsible for the 9/11 attacks that killed over 3,000 Americans?
Self loathing?

Someone would have to say something abusive. Not stupid. Stupidity isn’t a reporting offense.
Mee tooo.
Yeah you’re right. Don’t feed the trolls.
You going on a hunger strike now?
I don’t put that kind of effort into something for a guy who insults peoples children.
Its there, go search for it yourself.
Stupidity isn’t a reporting offense.
No proof huh?
Yea I noticed all the support your position get lately.
Ignore these people: they are not foxhole material and never will be. They are the ones who attack those finding themselves in foxholes, and their position will eventually meet reality wall, just not probably in a pretty way.
Just a suggestion. Casting stones and making crap up does not win points in the FR flamewar derby. Best not to play at all, but if you must, try doing it like an adult.

Some men just want to watch the world burn....
Really? I want to debate the merits of the stupidity that causes all our electoral woes. You don’t. Mr. foxhole.
If we want to change the direction of the country we need to quit focusing on candidates who can’t win.
We should be using the NSA issue as a crowbar to get people out of office or at least weakened. Snowden isn’t the issue and focusing on him helps Obama. Something many of these people seem ok with.
I’ve dealt with extremely sensitive stuff when I was in the air force. I doubt he did this without some help.
Only true if there is a perfect candidate.
Last I heard Jesus wasn’t running for office, so I’m guessing it will be a long wait for the perfect candidate.
As you know, I took a more nuanced approach to this topic.
What is lesser about a pro abort/gay/conservative et all GOP candidate?
That seems is pretty evil, not lesser evil.
