Sarah Palin: Roll On, Rolling Thunder!
SarahPAC.com ^ | May 29, 2011 | Sarah Palin

Posted on 05/29/2011 2:05:34 PM PDT by Al B.

There’s no better way to see D.C. than on the back of a Harley! My family may be used to snowmachines more so than motorcycles (though you couldn’t tell it with Todd driving a hog today with Piper on the back and with Bristol riding on the back of another bike). But whether you’re riding the open road or the frozen tundra, you’re celebrating a free spirit. What could be more American than that?

Today’s Rolling Thunder rally in DC is all about freedom. And it’s about duty and loyalty and service. The message heard loud and clear through the roar of tens of thousands of bike engines declared, “We will never forget our heroes left behind!” Truly, our POWs and MIAs honored today are America’s real heroes.

In addition to drawing special attention to POWs and MIAs, Rolling Thunders works to help all veterans, active duty service men and women, and military families in so many ways. Riding with these patriots today reinforced that we must do all we can to remind all Americans that we owe our freedom to our vets and to those missing and to those who made the ultimate sacrifice to make this the greatest country on earth. They deserve our debt of gratitude. It’s not the politician or the reporter who makes us free; it is the veteran.

One man who clearly understands this is Rep. Allen West, who was there today to honor our military. I really appreciated meeting him. Thank you for spending your day with the troops, Lt. Colonel West!

Meeting with Blue Star and Gold Star mothers this afternoon puts much into perspective. These beautiful families sacrifice so much for our freedom. This is what Memorial Day weekend is all about. Many of us this weekend are firing up the grill and enjoying time with our loved ones. Remember that we’re able to do that because someone else’s loved one is willing to lay it all on the line to defend our freedom. Someone is willing to re-deploy again and again far from home. Someone is willing to endure the blistering heat of Iraq’s deserts or the brutal cold of Afghanistan’s mountains. Someone is willing to put his or her own life on hold to make sure we’re safe. We never hear them complain, do we? And we never hear their families complain either. That’s what duty and service means. And Rolling Thunder’s commitment to them is what loyalty means.

I’m thankful Rolling Thunder keeps the mission of honoring our vets alive! For in doing so, they remind us what is good and free and worthy in America. So roll on, Rolling Thunder! Like Martin Luther King, Jr. said about the great struggle for civil rights, “we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream...”

Let’s roll on to honor our vets, to secure our blessings of liberty, and to fundamentally restore our proud America!

What a delight it is to read material from a person who is
truly patriotic and who loves her country, and it shows!

She writes from her heart and her heart is one of a true
conservative American!

RUN, SARAH....R U N!!!

Love it! And if we can’t have a Patton or, at least, a Jack Bauer—Gemma Teller is a pretty good compromise.

Palin/Cain 2012 & 2016. Cain/West or Cain/Bachmann 2020.

Intense show! I don’t think Sarah is a Gemma, but interesting comparison.

OMG, did you call that yesterday or what?!? LTC Allen West is my guy. If he's on any ticket, top or bottom, I'm there. I hope somebody snapped a pic today of these two patriots together.

(Disclaimer: This pix isn't from Rolling Thunder 2011. It's from another veteran's rally West did earlier this year. He frequently rides his Hog in rallies that support the troops. Check out the t-shirt)

Lt. Col. West is one of the good guys. At whatever level of a new government he finds himself, he will let everyone around him know what today’s ROE are and what they should be.

A picture is worth 1,000 words :-)

Wow! That’s almost too much charisma for one picture. Awesome.

Something I just realized. Judging from the picture, Allen is not very tall. Sarah is pretty short, so by comparison they are nearly the same height.

Sarah is 5’5 or 6” and 120 to 124 lbs. Lt. Col. West is about 5’8 or 9” and about 180/185.
