Look at what Sarah Palin has gone ahead and done

Look at what Sarah Palin has gone ahead and done since she resigned as Governor. Just two months ago the elites and the expert pundits predicted political suicide and irrelevance and a long road to recovery.

The number one purpose for Sarah Palin is to make sure that her family is taken care of emotionally and financially. Though she and her family has had to endure the harshest onslaught of criticism from media and others just for espousing political views that are contrary to what is establishment standards. If Sarah were pro choice and had aborted her down syndrome child she would have become the darling of the left. Yet Mrs Palin had different ideas and different way of achieving what she deemed was in store for her.

Her critics smeared her reputation with the theory that this backwoods personality was so inferior in intelligence that she simply could not comprehend task and duties that she was seeking. Who would of thought what has transpired in just two months . A Face book posting with the use of two words " Death Panel" completely derails the Health Care program so craved by this Administration. Denounced for lack of Foreign Policy experience her first public speech is in Hong Kong whereby the Wall Street Journal states that the Obama Administration could take a page from and adopt it in dealing with China as a whole. One week later she lets it be known that her 400 page memoir " Going Rogue, An American Life" has been completed and will be distributed November, 17, 2009 with an initial production order of 1.5 million copies. This was completed and delivered within four months of the initial signing of the contract with Harper Collins. Within this short time frame Sarah and Todd Palin have taken care of there family financially. Money will never be a problem for them.

Looking deeper into what has happened during this time frame Sarah Palin has revealed that she is a top tier strategist that analyses the situation and targets her opponents weaknesses. In an article by RA Mansour " Who is Sarah Palin" at Conservatives4Palin.com two phrases where pointed out " Get out of the way, I'll do it" and " To participate and to make a difference" provide great insight into how Sarah Palin thinks and reacts.

The harsh criticism of her and her family stunned her to the point that she had to devise a strategy to counter the playbook that was being used against her by the Media and the Democrats. They recognized that she is the only one with the charisma and star power that has a chance of derailing this far left agenda. The Alinsky's Rules For Radicals has been used so effectively against conservatives because they simply ignore the truth and elevate feelings over facts. Political correctness was devised to curtail free speech " How dare anyone hurt someones feelings". If you do well you must have cheated or stolen for its not fair that you have more than your neighbor. These are the silly deraigned ideas that are meant to divide and conquer. However, Sarah is from a state where the individual is supreme or you simply don't survive.

Sarah strategy was to use a modified version of Rules for Radicals she would become somewhat of a " Rogue" acting in defiance of the establishment and its customs, while being fun loving and mischievous at the same time. She is totally ignoring the media for they will distort whatever she does. She is providing the GOP bullet points for the new common sense conservative contract with Americans, such as eliminating capital gains ans estate taxes, energy independence , drill now , reduce the size of government, respect all other countries but always carry a big stick and not be ashamed of being Americans. The title of her book " Going Rogue" is the new battle cry that will unite all the disenfranchised citizens that have not had there voices heard by either party.

This no nothing from Alaska has a plan the GOP needs to get off there egos and listen and just do it!

It's About The Individual

In my early adult years I like many of my pears I didn't pay much attention or display much interest in the political system or its effects on my well being or status in life. I was what I was suppose to be based on my surrounding environment. I was a liberal that thought fairness was a virtue and not a crutch.

Through my working adult life I began to take notice of this word fairness and the profound impact that it would have on me. Let me begin with the fact my upbringing was in an environment that you worked hard for your family's well being, the motto was family first you second. In what ever capacity that I found my self I worked very hard to succeed at it so that my family would always be taken care of. In one of my experiences in the corporate world I became part of bonus system that I thought would reward me for my positive results only to find out that " Fairness" would supersede actual results. There were two of us in the same level of responsibility for similar operations within the company. At the end of the year my operations went from a bottom line loss to bottom line profits. My counterpart on the other hand showed a considerable improvement in the bottom line loss but no profits. We were given the same amount of bonus money. Till this day I can not understand how anyone can give bonus when there is no profits. This incident made me look to myself and what was happening around me.

What I began to notice is that you the individual was no longer as important as you as part of a team and its parts. When did the individual become less important than the team? How did this emphasis come into be ? Don't get me wrong team work has its place especially in the family, but each member of a family is an individual with his own abilities and attributes that are completely different from someone else.

This distinction between individual and the collective made me realize the difference between conservatism and liberalism. Conservatism is about you the individual, what makes you special and what you have to offer to society as a whole. Liberalism is all about trying to level the playing field, everyone is part of a collective group with no winners and no losers .

Lets look at society as a whole , it is made up of a group of individuals with it's tie to nationality, ethnic origins, or simply with marked territory. There are individuals in each society that find themselves compelled to lead those others that are content on following. Whenever, you get leaders, that get caught up in there own self aggrandizement and they loose site of the collective body. They use them for a means to an end, which is the allure of power over others. These I will call the elite Liberals they simply have forgotten where they have come from. Don't get me wrong there are so called conservatives that are caught up in this same spell, power has a way of corrupting those with the best of intentions. How does society identify those individuals that have lost there purpose but are only in it for themselves?

The United States of America Society which is one of the worlds youngest and most prosperous societies on the face of the earth has in place the mechanisms to allow the individual to identify and correct whatever society warrants . The Constitution and The Bill of Rights are such documents when followed as intended gives the individual all that he or she needs to make the required decisions that will benefits society as a whole, as long as we never forget that "It's About The Individual"

Fear

As a small business owner for the past twenty years, my attitude and optimism never waved nor floundered. Though I started my business during the S&L crisis in 1988, I've had growth in sales consistently up until this year. Since October of 2008 sales have decreased and are staying down simply because of fear. The consuming public has had there net worth decreased by 40% or more, There homes devalued, There banks won't give them credit, and there government says that they have to sacrifice more by wanting to increase there taxes and lower the standard living that they have been accustom to. Simply put there security has been shaken and fear of tomorrow has set in.

When fear replaces confidence is like a speeding car on a crowded superhighway suddenly slamming on its breaks. The chain reaction is devastating because your helpless to avoid the collisions that ensue. My question along with everyone else I meet is Why? Why has this been allowed to happen the way that it has? Why were any of the warning signs so disguised that we were not allowed to react if we choose to? Were we conspired against so that we would be forced to change our ways? Is the lifestyle of the United States such an obstacle to achieving one world order that it is required to be destroyed? These are questions that wacko conspiracy theorists say not normal citizens that live their lives and mind their own business. None of this makes any sense for logic and reason has been abandoned and now fear resides.

Get Out of the Way, I'll Do It

The initial appearance of this political season so far is looking like a bad dream that is rapidly turning into a nightmare. President Obama has set his sights on changing the American culture as we know it to his vision of redistributing the wealth to who he perceives to be the rightful owners. If the Constitution gets in the way it is to be ignored or it has to evolve to adjust to the times. This world wind of change has got many people talking and searching for alternatives that can return this country to some element of common sense.

In my search for direction I came upon blog www.conservatives4palin.com that appears to be a very pleasant surprise. As the title states this site is devoted to Sarah Palin. One of the prominent posts is titled " Who is Sarah Palin " by R.A. Mansour, whom I made the mistaken presumption was a man. Ms Mansour is a freelance writer that has taken the time to research and find out information that gives her readers a sense of who Governor Palin is. She goes into the Governors childhood, how she was raised, the influences that effected her life and judgment, and how she handles adversity.

Within this article RAM ( Ms Mansour) points out two phrases that are somewhat important to Sarah Palin they are " Get out of my way, I'll do it" and her reason for public Service " To participate and to make a difference." What I have found interesting about these two phrases are that they not only apply to the Governor but rather to the writers and editors of this wonderful blog. The team members of this blog are Hal, Daniel Terrapin, Sinistar, The Aged P, Rob Harrison, Joshua Livestro, Adam Brickley, RA Mansour, IA Crowther, The editors, Dave C, Videmus Omnia, J Smith, Joseph Russo and K Carpenter. Though there many hundreds of Blogs supporting Sarah Palin This particular group is in total sync with rapid fire response to negative press by both the left leaning media and the moderate republicans that have set there sight into destroying the destined political future of Sarah Palin.

This group is reminiscent of Bill Clinton's War Room crowd that consisted of James Carville and George Stephaopoulos along with the help of Paul Begala, Rahm Emmanuel and Dee Dee Meyers. However, let me make a clear distinction between C4P and the War Room, which is the War Room crowd's goal was to destroy that person they went after, C4P on the other hand only counters with facts and truth and most important is that it is all volunteer effort. From what I can see C4P follows " To participate and To make a difference " phrase and a word of caution to the established media persona " Get out of the way, C4P will do it"

For all those that have not gone to www.conservatives4palin.com do so and see for yourself how this group of excellent writers have Sarah Palin's back covered.

Thank you C4P for a job well done!

The Essence of Mrs Palin

The old adage a picture is worth a thousand words, well these pictures of Sarah Palin provides anyone a glimpse of her inner being.

No amount of posing nor photo shop can capture eyes so captivated by the specialness that she sees.

The gentle touch of a hand caressing a precious human being that others would tend to ignore.

An ever attentive smile of acknowledgment while listening to a child's comments.

The display of sheer joy in knowing that this encounter was worth the long journey and possible crass remarks of those that have envy in there hearts rather than love in there soul.

Words are not enough for these two pictures show the essence of Mrs Sarah Palin.

The Un American President

This was the week that the silent majority awakened from a somber sleep that has allowed someone to attain the highest office in the land who in my opinion is un American. Hard working people, that mind there own business, take care of there families and usually let well enough alone, took to the streets in the form of Tea Parties. The tsunami of events that have transpired since October 1, 2008, till now are making everyone take notice. Trillions of dollars in lost wealth in the markets, government bailouts of banks and large corporations, government takeovers of publicly held companies and government borrowing of trillions upon trillions of debt without explanation has instilled a fear that has paralyzed the economy. We are at a stand still from fear itself.

Why am I afraid? The way I see it Government created the problem. They forced banks to make loans to people that couldn't afford them and did not have the ability to pay them back. This was start of the Housing bubble. Create a greater demand and inflated prices will ensue. The Federal Reserve and Congressional oversight took a blind eye to how financial institutions were disposing of these toxic assets which eventually contaminated the entire financial system. Government then states that the entire world economy is in jeopardy if immediate action is not taken within the week we are doomed, thus the TARP was instituted. These actions were not the responsibility of the current President , however, the man he appointed Treasury Secretary - Timothy Geithner was the architect of this scenario. I fault the Bush administration for rushing this process all in the name of expediency without questioning what the ramifications would result. The Markets become totally unsettled and I along with everyone else loose 30-40% of our wealth in such a short period of time. The question comes what do we do now? Result was the electorate decides to vote for hope and change without any substantiating evidence other than speeches.

During the transition the Markets settled and began to rebound only to collapse once inauguration and this administration began to unveil there agenda all in the name of recovery. Again all the little financial gains are quickly evaporated. All the presidents men continually bombard the airwaves of doom and gloom. Large and small businesses see there sales decline 30% and higher. Layoffs begin to mount into hundreds of thousand per month with no end in sight. Unemployment is 8% to 10% depending on which part of the country you are in. The question has to be why was this fear allowed to prevail unless it was contrived and wanted in order to achieve an ultimate goal?

Rahm Emmanuel, the President's Chief of Staff, continually boasted" that you can never let a crisis go to waste". The calamity that the American people along with the rest of the world was something that could not go to waste in the minds of this administration. With each passing day crisis upon crisis are revealed to the public for the sole purpose of passing multi trillion dollar " Stimulus Package". Nationalizing banks and Auto Industry are being floated about, along with National Health Care, Cap and Trade for the purpose of expanding unions and global warming nonsense. This excessive reach by this President in just 100 days can oly be summized that he wants an immediate change in the culture of the United States. Why would someone want to change the most successful prosperous country that the world has ever seen? Especially to change it in the image of our European counter parts.This makes no sense to me.

The vetting process was not done and if it was it was not revealed as to who this man is? What do we know of Barack Obama? He was born in Hawaii ? He has only produced a certificate of live birth but refuses to make public his actual birth certificates, Many court cases have been filed with still some pending in the Supreme Court. As a child he was raised and educated in Indonesia and was influenced by the Muslim Madras schools. Once in the United States he became a product of Affirmative Action education in his college years. Again he refuses to disclose any of his college records. His life has remained sealed to the public, yet he says that he wants a very transparent administration. Double standard anyone!

How does he view " We the People"? His Homeland Security Secretary just released a memo that highlighted " Operation Vigilant Eagle" which states that veterans coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan should be monitored for they may have tendencies to fall into the extremist category of the right wing of the United States. Also those of us that listen to Conservative Talk Radio , are people of faith and took part in the Tea Parties are also extremist that should be monitored. Is this someone that when he took his oath of office to up hold and defend the constitution of the United States is one that believes in "We the People" or just some of the people some of the time.

His recent trips overseas, he continues to diminish and be apologetic for the United States being the United States. Why is he ashamed of this country being the greatest economic engine of the world? Does he feel guilty for our standard of living ? Yet he sure likes the perks that the citizens of this country pay for to experience a new life style that he could have never achieved on his own. Somewhere in this short journey, He has concluded that his vision of economic equality is what we seek. To be an American is about being given the opportunity to achieve what ever someone wants to achieve if they are willing to work hard without a great deal of Government interference. This President appears only to believe in Big Government getting bigger. This country was founded on the premise of limited government. The past 100 days has been Government, Government and more Government, I like many others can only conclude this man is America's first " Un American President"
