No matter where you fall in the wide spectrum of thought Governor Sara Palin's ability as a person and as a person of integrity and what the record shows about her stewardship as Governor of Alaska says it and says it all........
I tend to personally to admire her if for no other reason that she sends the left into a blind paroxysm Of pure HATRED toward her.
It always makes me laugh when Left Wing Pustules start Foaming at the mouth for no good reason.
Neither side of the Palin controversy gets it. It's not about persona, nor style, nor slick rhetoric.
It's about the things she did and how she went about doing them. It's about her integrity. Its about her love of America. It's about her love of Americans. Even Governor Palin's supporters never mention these attributes. Now, with your permission, I will do my level best to set the record straight about Governor Sara Palin
1-
Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as soon as Palin took over the Governor's office from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, She tore into the Republican's "Corrupt Bastards Club" (CBC) and courageously threw them out.....
And sent them packing. I say courageously because they were from the same Republican party she belonged to.
Many of them are now justifiably residing in State housing and wearing Orange jump suits.
Back then the Democrats reacted by skipping around the school yard, throwing confetti and singing "la la la la" (well, you know how they are).
Name another governor in this country that has ever done anything similar.
But while you're thinking, I'll continue.
2-
Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the huge, giant oil companies in Alaska.
So, she constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called "ACES".
Exxon (the biggest corporation in the world) protested and Sarah stood her ground and told them "don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out." of Alaska.
They stayed and coughed up their share as well, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy, to being filthy rich.
Of course, the other huge international oil companies meekly fell into line.
Again, I ask you, give me the name of any other governor in this country that has done anything similar.
3-
The other thing she did - When she walked into the governor's office, she got out the list of State requests for federal funding for projects, known as "pork" or "EAR MARKS". Sara went through the list, took 85% of them and placed them in a "when-hell-freezes-over" stack. The "Bridge to Nowhere" went into this stack.
She let locals know that if we need something built, we'll pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured she could use the money she got from selling the previous governor's luxury jet. She felt it was too extravagant for her.
Maybe she could use the money she saved by dismissing the governor"s cook (remarking that she could cook for her own family), And giving back the State vehicle issued to her, maintaining that she already had a car, and dismissing her State provided Security Force (never mentioning-
I imagine-that she's packing heat herself).
I'm still waiting to hear the names of those other governors.
4-
Now, even with her much-ridiculed "gosh and golly" folksy mannerism, she also managed to put together a totally new approach to getting a natural gas pipeline built. This project will be the biggest private construction project in the history of North America.
No one else could do it although they tried. If that doesn't impress you, then you're trying too hard to be unimpressed while watching her do things like this while baking up a batch of brownies with her other hand.
5-
For 30 years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory drilling at a place called Point Thompson.
They made excuses the entire time why they couldn't start drilling. In truth they were holding it like an investment waiting for the price of oil to move up and up before selling its oil.
For 30 years, no governor could make them get started. This past summer, she told them she was revoking their lease and kicking them out.
They protested and threatened court action. She shrugged and reminded them that she knew the way to the court house. Alaska won again.
Part two will follow, stay tuned
My comments on Sarah will follow part two.

Watch this short clip and leave a comment if you don't like Glenn Beck and why.
Obama is throwing the fit in the shan and thinks none of it will get on him.
I am starting to believe President Obama cares very little about re-election and his objective is to transform this country and the world as much as possible in his first four years as he has stated and then move on to the UN in 2012 rather than become a lame duck president. Once at the UN he will be able to negotiate with all the new friends he has made, dictators and tyrants. After all it is much easier negotiating with countries when they are not controlled by free people. His stand on Honduras and Iran are an indication of that. Do you remember this? Maybe not, the main stream media did not cover it too much.
Some unprecedented news today, folks. Never in the history of the United Nations has a U.S. President taken the chairmanship of the powerful UN Security Council. Perhaps it is because of what could arguably be a Constitutional prohibition against doing so.
To wit: Section 9 of the Constitution says:
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

The terrorist have already admitted to the terrorist attack of 911 and are proud of it. These men are not citizens of the US and have no rights to OUR Constitution.
The real goal of the Obama administration unfortunately is to provide more appeasement to our enemies and to eventually bring charges to those who served in the previous administration and weaken our country. Our country will end up being on trial instead of the terrorist. If this group of terorists get a trial in our civilian courts where will it end? Liberals do not like the US being a super power and if they have their way we will become weaker and the whole world will suffer.
I plan to write more about this later, for now please ignore what President Obama says but watch he does.
1835 Nov 13, Texans officially proclaimed Independence from Mexico, and called itself the Lone Star Republic, after its flag, until its admission to the Union in 1845.
"It’s all appreciation for us. We’ll shake every hand we can and meet every person we can, and if nothing else, leave them with a little piece of Americana . . . Mostly, I just enjoy seeing the glow on people’s faces. Their hearts shine a big light up through their eyes and smiles. For a brief time, they can forget about their day-to-day problems out here . . . God Bless them all! That’s why we’re here; to show our appreciation." Toby Keith

They Chose Responsibility!
As Nobel Prize winner William Faulkner explained in his 1953 article "The Duty to be Free":
"By remaining in the old world, we could have been not only secure, but even free of the need to be responsible. Instead, we chose the freedom, the liberty, the independence, and the inalienable right to responsibility."

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
