Sarah Palin appeared on Hannity last night to talk about health care reform and Obama’s “transformation of America”.

You’ll need your waders for this story because this stuff just keeps getting deeper….

Many have wondered how ANYONE AS EXTREME AS Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones – a self-described “Communist” obsessed with racial conspiracy theories – could have been named to head a federal agency. David Horowitz described the radicalization of the Democratic Party as the appointment’s subtext. Closer to the fore, Jones owed his elevation to another new factor: the unparalleled influence of Valerie Jarrett. To call Jarrett a presidential adviser, even a close adviser, is misleading. She is an alter ego, an inner conscience, a touchstone of clarity for both President Obama and first lady Michelle. continue reading the article here

CNN controlling the message? Josh at Texas for Sarah Palin posted an article yesterday that was on the CNN website about Tea Party Express leaders and how they would like to get Sarah Palin on board with them. I know many people that went and made great comments about Palin including myself. These comments go to moderation, well this time as with other times, our comments never appear but interestingly enough 99% of the comments that do are negative towards Palin.

I use CNN as only a small example about what is out there in the media.

I have to say I’m so very thankful for the internet. As hard as the left tries to control the message and make it appear that conservatives are the odd man out, they can’t do it because of the ability for other people to communicate with people outside of our own circle of friends and family. We find more and more as the main stream media and liberal bloggers shout that only crackpots believe what Fox News says that, we are not alone and that we are not out of our minds.

This now more than ever, is all important because the liberals know that it is human nature to want to fit in and to be a part of a group. Hence the reason they don’t argue facts about Sarah Palin but just call her dumb and stupid, by human nature uninformed people will want to naturally conform to the “cool” group, the acceptable group. It’s also the reason that the liberal media won’t openly and honestly debate the issues and simply want to try to discredit the Tea Party Movement as being teabaggers, (a vile term if there ever was one) to call us ignorant, uneducated rednecks, and more. But there comes a time when your beliefs about what is right and what is true become more important than fitting in with something that goes against the core of what you and your country stand for in this world.

As our movement grows though, more and more people through the means of internet whether it’s a local message boards, social networks, blogs and emails, we find that the Tea Party message speaks to common sense and common values of more Americans than that of a socialist leftist agenda.

The best thing, about the left overreaching, is that the infestation is coming into view. The lights have been turned on and the roaches are scattering. The people are seeing what is becoming of our country and are willing to stand up and fight for her no matter the insults they throw our way. The changes of this country that are coming to light didn’t happen overnight. It was a slow process of those that worked at it while we went about our daily lives. We believed that voting was our duty and it ended at about that, we trusted those in office that when they swore to defend the Constitution that although we might disagree on certain issues that we all had the same standard belief in what our founding fathers stood for. We find now that, that is not the case and that our government, our societies, and our schools have been infiltrated little by little by people that believe otherwise and swearing on a Bible was to defend our Constitution was just a means to move their radical agendas forward.

It’s time to stand up for our country, the military is not the only one that is responsible for our freedoms, every American citizen is. If you believe in The Constitution, if you would like to continue your life as you like it, if you like to have the freedom of choosing where your money goes, what you drive, what you watch on TV, what doctor you go to, what job you have, it’s time to get out there, be seen, let your voice be heard. Going out to a Tea Party is a small price to pay compared to the brave revolutionist that fought and died to give us the greatest country on the face of this earth. It’s not a time to passively sit on the couch waiting for someone else to do something about it. This is your life, your country and all our children’s futures we are fighting for!

At any rate we in the Tea Party Movement will end up in the history books one day. My greatest hope is that we shall overcome and down the road we will be talked about as the patriots that saved what Reagan called “The Shining City on The Hill”.

In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, Brave, Hated, and Scorned. When his cause succeeds however,the timid join him, For then it costs nothing to be a Patriot. – Mark Twain

The White House wants your help! Seems some pesky people in the land of free speech may be passing around emails downing the health care plan. They might not even have all the facts straight so the White House wants you to watch out for them and then report it.

Sound Hitleresque or maybe I’m just crazy!?

Here is a screen shot of the White House Website and I’ve circled the part that I’m talking about in red.

Click the picture to enlarge it.

I think we should all send an email alright! Letting them know what we think.

When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Thomas Jefferson

Is this a bad dream? Who the hell do these people think they are that I would throw my friends and neighbors under the bus for the government. If this doesn’t bother you… I don’t even know what to say to you! I don’t know I guess if it doesn’t then read the poem below about the Nazis and then think about it.

First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

UPDATE! I wonder if this is the kind of thing they are talking about when they talk about disinformation? Obama in his own words talking about a single payer plan.

Palin Vs. Kerry (And MoveOn.org)

By INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Wednesday, July 15, 2009 4:20 PM PT

Politics: John Kerry, replying to an op-ed Sarah Palin wrote on cap-and-trade, suggests the Alaska governor “check the view from her front porch.” What she sees from there, senator, is energy wealth going to waste.

The political death of Sarah Palin has been greatly exaggerated. In a devastating op-ed in the Washington Post, Alaska’s governor exposes the cap-and-tax fraud that has nothing to do with earth’s temperature and everything to do with government control of the economy.

She also exposes the stealth socialism ambitions of the Democratic left and once again points out the availability of abundant “shovel-ready” resources under America’s soil, off America’s shores and even in America’s rocks.

An Open Letter to Our Nation’s Leadership

I am Janet Contreras, a concerned, home-grown American citizen. I am 53, and I have been a registered Democrat all of my adult life. Before the last Presidential election, I registered Republican because I no longer feel the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. I now no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me.

There must be someone, please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me you are there and are willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please do it now.

You might ask yourselves what my views and issues are that I would feel so horribly disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me? These are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

* Illegal Immigration—I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S. I am not a racist. This not to be confused with legal immigration.

* TARP Bill—I want it repealed and no further funding supplied to it. We told you “NO!” but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze! Repeal!

* Czars—I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the Czars. No more Czars. Government officials answer to the process not the President. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.

* Cap & Trade—the debate on global warming is NOT over, there IS more to say.

* Universal Health Care—I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don’t you dare pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!

* Growing Government Control—I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Please mind your own business; you have enough to do with your REAL obligations. Let’s start there.

* ACORN—I do not want ACORN or its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them on every real estate deal that closes. Stop all funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audit and investigation. I do not trust them with the taking of the census or with taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before the taxpayers get any further involved with them. It walks like a duck and talks like a duck—hello… stop protecting political buddies. You work for the people. Investigate.

* Redistribution of Wealth—No. If I work for it, it is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth I support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do want me to hate my employers? What do your have against shareholders making a profit?

* Charitable Contributions—although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities where we know our needs best and can use local talent and resources. Butt out, please. We want to do this ourselves.

* Corporate Bail Outs—knock it off! Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we will be better off just getting to it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful, like ripping off a band aid. We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us a chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.

* Transparency and Accountability—how about it? No really, let’s have it. Let’s say we give the “buzz” words a rest and have some straight, honest talk. Please stop trying to manipulate and appease me with cleaver wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.

* Unprecedented Quick Spending—stop it, now. Take a breath. Listen to “The People.”

Let’s just slow down and get some more input from some “non-politicians” on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law.

I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant nor a violent person. I am a mother and grandmother. I am a working woman. I am busy, busy, busy and tired, tired, tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawns and wash our cars on weekends, and be responsible, contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same, all the while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding our Constitution and believed in the checks and balances to keep you from getting too far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think that I find humor in hiring a speed reader to unintelligibly ramble through a bill you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not! It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face! I am not laughing—the arrogance!

Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it, but you expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children? We did not want that TARP bill. We said “NO!” We would repeal it if we could. I am not sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all the recent spending. From my perspective, it seems that you have all gone insane.

I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back!

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington , DC 20500

Mr. Obama:

I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequate representative of the United States of America collectively or of me personally.
You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States of America . You are responsible to the citizens of the United States .. You are not responsible to the peoples of any other country on earth.
I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about their status in the world. Sir, what do you think the First World War and the Second World War were all about if not the consideration of the peoples of Europe ? Are you brain dead? What do you think the Marshall Plan was all about? Do you not understand or know the history of the 20th century?
Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States does not consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States ? This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country, at least until you came along, come directly from this heritage. Do you not understand this?
Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans. Our President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia . You don’t show Great Britain , our best and one of our oldest allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia . How dare you, sir! How dare you!
You can’t find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation because you don’t want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a mosque in Turkey . You offended our dead and every veteran when you give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German people from themselves. What’s the matter with you?
I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have the historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be ashamed of yourselves, all of you.
You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves in this situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about them? Anything? I seriously doubt it.
What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to their staff members – on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay raises that lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17% bonus. I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer. You haven’t said anything about that. Who authorized that? I surely didn’t!
Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210 million in bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that’s $45 million more than the AIG bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded $51 million – not a bad take. Who authorized that and why haven’t you expressed your outrage at this group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have right now.
I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not caring about what you idiots do.
We are watching what you are doing and we are getting increasingly fed up with all of you. I also want you to know that I personally find just about everything you do and say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities.
I promise you that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to spend two terms destroying my beautiful country.
Sincerely,
Every real American
P.S. It’s past time for all Americans to wake up!

Statement from Governor Sarah Palin in regards to Michael Steele

The transition from Candidate Obama to President Obama has been as predictable as Alaska’s winter snow.

We are now witnessing actions that will lead to a monumental shift away from free market capitalism and the strong work ethic that built this great country. ‘Change’ in this administration has meant rapid movement toward massive government growth, huge tax burdens on future generations, and an unprecedented reliance upon foreign countries.

Today, we learned that Obama’s decisions continue to impact Alaskans; while we as taxpayers now own General Motors, Obama closes another dealership – this time in Soldotna as more of Alaskans’ hard-earned money and jobs are lost to big government. Government should not be in the auto industry business. In Alaska, we have also seen a shift in federal priorities that threaten the loss of subsidized village health care services under the same candidate who led you to believe he’d insure all Americans. The inconsistent messages and actions are unsettling.

But we have another voice in Washington, DC – a man who understands what Alaskans believe: less centralized government control, restrained budgets, more opportunity for development, and fewer taxes. Today, we have a friend in RNC Chairman Michael Steele and his bold and courageous speech defines his leadership goals that will guide us all through this most difficult time for our nation.”

Go Michael!

Tea Parties were held all over the Nation today in honor of Rick Santelli who ranted about government spending on CNBC.

I attended the one at Victory Park in Dallas, TX. along with about a couple of hundred people. Not a bad turn out for short notice, it was only announced three days ago. I heard laughing and joking in the crowd, “Conservatives protesting, this is something you don’t see everyday.” One lady even told me that her liberal friend hugged her when she found out she would be going to her first protest. I also met someone there from TeamSarah.org

Below are some pictures from the Dallas Tea Party today. I wish I had better pictures but my camera batteries were dead so I had to use my cellphone.

UPDATE: Just found this video on YouTube from the event.
