Governor Palin wrote the following in response to the latest scandal coming from the Obama administration’s State Deptartment.
Via Facebook:
She also posted this image, writing:Outrageous. Once again the cover-up is worse than the “crime.” Secretary of State John Kerry WAS on his boat while Egypt fell into turmoil resulting in an overthrow of its new government ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood that the Obama Administration had so recently supported and may still support. (That, however, we do not know because President Obama’s absolutely dithering foreign policies, his "leading from behind," and his benign statements on the Muslim Brotherhood make no sense to sensible people.)
The State Department categorically denied Kerry was on his boat. Yet CBS had pictures to prove it. Goodness. There is no need to lie, even on such a "little" thing as the location of a government leader during a military confrontation happening in real time. (Benghazi? Ring a bell? There still isn’t anyone in the media who’ll find out where our Commander-in-Chief was that night.) Come on, Obama Administration! It’s no big darn deal that Kerry was on his boat! We expect, and deserve, to assume that our highest ranking public servants to whom We the People have given the most responsibility are always working – even when they’re clearing their heads and breathing in some fresh air on a yacht, or sweating away stress on a basketball court, or yukking it up with pals on the fairway… let’s trust they’re always preparing for the proverbial 3:00 AM phone call.
Being on his boat isn’t the issue. Blatantly deceiving the American people is the issue.
Our government, yet again, either had no idea where the boss was, or worse yet, they lied to us. (Oops-a-daisy. Correction. In Obamaspeak, we were told the "least untruthful statement.") Our government directed its swift-ly boat changing denials to what one can only surmise is their perception of who we are: a nation of sheep – heads down, grazing away, gullible, ignorant, and undeserving of truth.
Confronted with photographic evidence, the State Department merely tossed the public a handful of hay today in its tepid effort to kinda-sorta explain the whole thing away. Something about, well, yeah, so the evidence contradicted all their public claims, but… eh, no harm, no foul. And like good herder dogs, with calm authority to avoid commotion, the bureaucrats barked the suggestion that we all just move along now.
No. You move along, little doggie. Enough is enough. It’s unacceptable. Remember, the nation’s Mama Grizzlies don’t just rise up to swat away threats to protect the next generation. They also school, scold, and signal to teach a lesson. One lesson taught all children is if you lie on the little things, you’ll lie on the big things.
George Orwell wrote of a time when citizens could no longer trust big government, and by wearing down the citizenry through doublespeak and lies a tired country finally retreated to its dark and depressing demise.
America, we shall not go there! Why? Because if we know from our nation’s forefathers that weariness is not in our blood! It’s not in our DNA to retreat. Have faith that there are enough patriots in our exceptional nation willing to fight together for what is right. Proof of this is all the families still encouraging and supporting their loved ones who choose U.S. military service. And proof of a unified commitment to defend our republic is what the independent tea party movement is all about. Disregard the constant criticism, mocking, and flagrant lies about this diverse, proud movement that still spew from big government cheerleaders and their lapdogs in the media. Despite harassment and intimidation, commonsense conservatives are rising up again to get a better view of what is ahead. They are identifying threats to our Constitution and our children’s future. The permanent political class angrily bemoans this because they know our diverse working class – those who make the world go ’round – can shake off the slumber, unify, and effectively encourage others to come out of a 2012 hibernation and demand accountability at the 2014 ballot box. It’s there we prove the average, everyday American’s ferocious strength when exercising that beautiful belief in loyalty only to a government of the people, by the people, for the people. Until then, we mustn’t have the fighting instinct of sheep. Pay attention, do your own homework on candidates and political machines, turn off media that would disrespect you by continuing to deceive, and keep the faith.
While celebrating America’s glorious Independence this week, be secure in knowing that there are more of us who support men and women ready and willing to fight on our behalf for freedom and truth than those who would continually deceive us. Thank God. And thank a Vet.
State Department: say you’re sorry and don’t ever do this again. CBS News: thank you for doing your job on this issue.
Happy 4th of July weekend, America.
- Sarah Palin
Pretty clear. Kerry on his boat. But changing winds soon hit.And this:
Despite different attributions of this quote’s author, the sentiment rings true.
His father said if his son ever strays, he will “kick his ass”
LOL
“Why is it that Democrats’ first instinct is to lie?”
It is apparently due to their core DNA. They are incapable of telling the truth.
They hate people, who dare to tell the truth about them and their beloved lying leaders.
“I’m no boat person, but is that a dog collar around his neck??”
I own 3 kayaks and would never put anything around my neck, If anyone did it with me in a tandem, they would never go out again with me.
Bringing a kayak alongside a dock or a boat and standing up to get from the yak to the boat or dock can be very dangerous.
That picture could be used as a training video of what not to do in a yak.
BigT... you are 100% dead on my man!

No doubt about it!

I thought I was reading my long passed daddy telling me to fly right!

I remember relating the quote to a co-worker during Clinton's first campaign for POTUS and the reaction was, "So what, they all lie," and I replied that "character" was everything and truth-telling paramount in our public officials. It's about trust. We've lost confidence in most of our officials during the last two decades and it seemingly doesn't much matter to a majority of the electorate.
You fail to see the brilliance of that move.
Sarah Palin's enemies expected her to remain in office and continue taking the pummeling. Instead, she freed herself of the constraints of office and took the battle directly to them. You can bet her enemies were flummoxed by her BOLD move and have been sorry ever since.
She changed the battle front and redefined the war. Look at what Palin has accomplished since. Remember the grassroots victory in 2010? Just watch what happens in 2014. The best is yet to come.
Leftists lie so as to not tip their hand and reveal themselves for who and what they are and really believe in. Simple as that. And like the cockroaches that they are, they need to be stepped on and brought to their miserable end...that is what you do to vermin.
I refer you to post #91.
Only a Facebook post? Sarah Palin has over 3.5 million followers on facebook. I shared her post with my list of nearly 800 friends along with 9964 others who also shared it with their friends or followers. The MSM will pick it up and write endlessly about it. I'd say that's pretty powerful stuff.
She took more crap than anyone I’ve ever seen and had every right to exercise her choice and quit. If she had not, she would have been a national force again. But she did quit.
Where is it written that only people holding office can be considered a "national force"? And to be honest, Sarah hasn't taken ANY crap. Not once has she shrunk from the battle. Again, her resigning as governor was a battle strategy, not a surrender. She is THEE MAJOR force in taking back our country, all politicians be damned.
Yeah I speak auto-correct too but some don’t. lol
[smiles]
She’s the best. Nobody comes close to her except Senator Cruz!
A union leader who dealt with him made the point more crudely, that he could "shake your hand and piss down your leg at the same time."
It has been many months, perhaps a year.
The point of the post as well as others by myself is to condense a general theme into a precise statement.
Then, time reveals the accuracy of the statement.
I have been posting that one for years.
The communists have yet to disprove any part of it... :-)

“Mia Love perhaps?”
That’s exactly who was in my mind when I was posting.
If the "X" or "Y" concerns abortion, then I guarantee you that Democrats would NOT line up behind a Pro-Life candidate no matter what his/her other credentials are. Heck, they wouldn't even let Bob Casey speak at their convention! This issue (denying the fundamental right to LIFE) IS a fatal flaw in any candidate I would vote for since it is something that influences ALL other rights. No Democrat on the national stage would be nominated much less elected who did not fully support abortion-on-demand.
