WASILLA, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin kicked off the first of three picnics marking her departure from office with a hometown tribute to the troops and an elbow at the news media.
Speaking before a friendly crowd at a park here Friday night, two days before she resigns, Palin invoked her soldier son to assure supporters that she is not downcast over the political frustrations that are prompting her to quit before her term is up.
She told the hundreds gathered in a military Honor Garden that she wanted to do something more worthy than speaking politics before sharing a story about a reporter who had asked her about how she handles difficult days.
I said, Oh no, it is not a down day my son called this week from Iraq, Palin recalled, referring to her son, Track, an Army enlistee. He is safe, he is sound. It is always a good day when my son calls.
Interrupting the applause, Palin said: I wish that some in the media would keep things like that in perspective, what is really important in our country. And what is important is our freedoms, Americas security, our liberty.
Later, citing military families that have lost loved ones, she again drew loud applause by saying: Let us continue to love our country, be proud of our country, never apologize for our country.

Makes for a great tagline.
>>I would crawl naked through broken glass to cast my vote for this woman.
I’d rather fight my way though some New Black Panther Party/ACORN thugs to vote for her.
Mark Levin rules! It is a great book.
Agreed!!
Yes it does, doesn’t it.
Great photo catch! So much contrast to the photo of Obeyme holding the book “Post America”.
'We want you as our commander-in-chief,'
prompting more cheers from the crowd and a military-style salute from Palin."
***when he runs his mouth without the facts can only “recalibrate his words***
To make matters worse for him, the recalibration was more of the same!
Your tagline? Babylon 5, Season one, Episode 10, Ambassador Kosh??
Easy there, big fella!!! (although I understand your enthusiasm) You do that and you'll need a gross of band-aids!!!
McCain "rally" (LOL) pre-Sarah:
and post-Sarah! ...
Well done, and an excellent observation.

The ethics complaints were cited by Palin, but,
this has to be one of the biggest stress factors a parent can have.
Having a child in combat in a war most have forgotten,
with a Marxist , anti American idiot as Commander in Chief.
Excellent!
The antithesis and nemesis of Obama, who stupidly apologizes to dictators, communists and terrorists and doesn't support Iranians being murdered by the government of Iran but stupidly chimes in when his communist Marxist friend plays the race card on a police officer.
Now he and Professor Stupidly are going to go surfing together at Martha's Vineyard!
I'm starting to like that word!
LOL
I'd walk into a Detroit voting precinct stocked with ACORN nuts to vote for her, so there......
Jonathan Martin is a big Palin-Hater. Nonstop snarky anti-Palin comments and articles from him throughout the 08 cycle.
Id swim through lava.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Oh yeah...well....I’d crawl, through broken glass, swim through lava, wear a Sarah T-shirt at a Detroit ACORN meeting, shout “God bless America” at a KOS convention, stick a clown nose on Franken, wear an “Obama blows carbon” button at a GreenPeace rally, and shout “Matt Lauer can suck it” during a Today Show taping.
....all of this just to vote for Sarah :)
