Not all women who have conservative values should be labeled as libs because they are concerned about family budgets.

That’s ridiculous and short sighted.

Go on the boards were the average American Mommy posts, we do have conservative values but ARE concerned about our budgets so don’t try to label us libs because we have normal concerns. Not every conservative is wealthy and doesn’t have to worry about their budgets.

I don't know what boards you're talking about, but this is a political discussion forum.

Per its founder, Jim Robinson:

"As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty."

Energy and Environment

Palin has strongly promoted oil resource development in Alaska,[30] and also helped pass a tax increase on oil company profits.[25][26] Palin has announced plans to create a new sub-cabinet group of advisors to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions within Alaska.[31]

Shortly after taking office, Palin rescinded 35 appointments made by Murkowski in the last hours of his administration, including that of his former chief of staff James “Jim” Clark to the Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority.[32][33] Clark later pleaded guilty to conspiring with a defunct oil-field-services company to channel money into Frank Murkowski’s re-election campaign.[34]

In March 2007, Palin presented the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA) as the new legal vehicle for building a natural gas pipeline from the state’s North Slope.[35] This negated a deal by the previous governor to grant the contract to a coalition including BP (her husband’s former employer). Only one legislator, Representative Ralph Samuels, voted against the measure,[36] and in June, Palin signed it into law.[37][38] On January 5, 2008, Palin announced that a Canadian company, TransCanada Corp., was the sole AGIA-compliant applicant.[39][40] In August 2008, Palin signed a bill into law giving the state of Alaska authority to award TransCanada Pipelines a license to build and operate the $26-billion pipeline to transport natural gas from the North Slope to the Lower 48 through Canada.[41]

In response to high oil and gas prices, and the resulting state government budget surplus, Palin proposed giving Alaskans $100-a-month energy debit cards. She also proposed providing grants to electrical utilities so that they would reduce customers’ rates.[42] She subsequently dropped the debit card proposal, and in its place she proposed to send Alaskans $1,200 directly, paid for from the windfall surplus the state is getting because of the high oil prices.

In 2007, Palin approved a $150 cash incentive to aerial gunner-pilot teams for each Alaskan wolf they kill.[44] The incentive was called a “bounty” for killing wolves by Alaska Wildlife Alliance Director John Toppenberg.[44] She agreed with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game to allow Alaska state biologists to hunt wolves from helicopters as part of a “predator control” program which was allowed under a provision in a 35-year-old federal ban on the practice granting 700 permits to the state of Alaska.[45] The program was heavily criticized by Defenders of Wildlife and predator control opponents,[45] and prompted California State Representative George Miller to introduce a federal bill making the practice illegal.[45] In March 2008, a federal judge upheld the practice of hunting wolves from the air, but limited its extent.
