Palin: Media Mocks Concerned Americans Seeking Answers

I am weeping for for my country today.  It used to be that journalism was a profession of honor.  It was a career for seekers of truth; people with curiosity and writing skills who wanted to provide the "who, what, when, where, and why" of what happened in a particular situation.  Providing just the facts allowed the reader to form his/her own opinion on the matter at hand.  Sadly, that seems to no longer be the case as is evidenced here.  Earlier today, The Washington Post posted the following tweet regarding the hearings into what  happened in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. 

 

In case you're having a hard time reading the tweet from the above picture, let me help you out:

Who's tweeting about Benghazi? Rich, middle-aged men and Chick-fil-A lovers http://wapo.st/18YFgKP

Yes, you're reading that correctly and yes, the "Twitter voice" of the Washington Post has stooped to mocking Americans who are deeply concerned about what transpired in Benghazi that fateful day when  four American lives were lost.   

In response to the tweet from the Washington Post, I replied as follows:

My tweet:

@washingtonpost Our ancestors & those that currently serve shed blood & DIE for a free press. Your job is seeking #truth . How dare you!

Posted to Palin's Facebook page in response to the above: 

Is there any wonder why distrust of arrogant, out-of-touch media is at an all-time high? During today’s Benghazi hearings, the Washington Post actually tweeted: “Who's tweeting about Benghazi? Rich, middle-aged men and Chick-fil-A lovers.” This would be the same Washington Post that broke the story on Watergate. Now they just mock concerned Americans who want answers to why four brave Americans died, including two distinguished vets. And the Obama administration asks, “What does it matter?”

I don't know that I can pinpoint exactly when journalism died but without a doubt, she's dead and gone. 

Palin : NO NEW TAXES

Mama Grizzly's not happy and takes to Facebook to call out Republicans who, just yesterday, voted to increase taxes via what's been referred to as the "internet tax".   

Posted to Palin's Facebook page: 

More new taxes? How can we be divided on new taxes? In this horribly weak economy with an over-reaching, over-spending, anti-small-business government continually making the wrong decisions, Republicans can't even stay committed to "No New Taxes"?

Please step away from your Washington, DC bubble and get back in touch with the hard working people who sent you there. Read the planks in our party's platform and then read our lips. Learn from history or face repeating it: NO NEW TAXES.

Palin: This is a Fight for the Future of Freedom

Governor Palin received an enthusiastic welcome from the attendees of the NRA's Leadership Forum.  The event took place earlier this afternoon in Houston, Texas and featured such notable speakers as Senator Ted Cruz, Governor Bobby Jindal, Governor Rick Perry and Judge Jeanine Pirro. 

Palin opened her remarks by reminding us that "We're fighting the good fight. a fight for the constitution. This is a fight for the future of freedom." 

It didn't take long for the tolerant left to immediately start calling for "a mass shooting" at the event or a drone strike.  Twitchy captured the threatening tweets here and here. 

Getty has uploaded a number of images from today's NRA event here.

Palin: Washington Shirked Their Constitutional Duty

Sarah Palin recently posted the following message (including cartoon) to her Facebook account:

Do you agree that Washington shirked their constitutional duty by not passing a budget in almost four years? Remember these are the "leaders" we've sent there to represent us and be good stewards of our hard earned tax dollars. Article One, Section Nine, Clause Seven of the United States Constitution states: “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.”

"The liberties of a people never were, or ever will be, secure when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them." -- Patrick Henry

Palin: Government, Stay Out of my Refrigerator!

Earlier today a New York state judge blocked Mayor Bloomberg's decision to ban the sale of sugary drinks over 16 ounces. Judge Milton Tingling cited the law as "fraught with arbitrary and capricious consequences."  Tony Lee over at Brietbart News has an excellent article with more of the details. 

In response to this decision, Sarah Palin tweeted the following:

Victory in NYC for liberty-loving soda drinkers. To politicians with too much time on their hands we say: Govt, stay out of my refrigerator!

Rock on Sarah!

 

Palin: Iron Dog Team 11 Honors Fallen Warriors

Iron Dog Team 11, Scott Davis and Todd Palin, will be running the race in honor of our country's lost warriors.  May we never forget their sacrifices. 

You can follow Iron Dog on Facebook here or visit their official website here. 

The photo to the left and the following commentary were posted to Palin's Facebook page:

Running hard in honor of our lost warriors. God bless America's finest - our troops.

Palin: Patriotic Ordinary Americans Are the Heart & Hope of this Country

If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye and create a lump in your throat, I'm not sure what will.

Shared by Sarah Palin on her Facebook page: 

A friend sent this photo of one of the many crowds that gathered in Texas on Monday to pay their respects to Chris Kyle. While too many of our “leaders” were oblivious, these ordinary Americans organized themselves to show respect for a great hero. Patriotic ordinary Americans like the people in this photo are the heart and hope of this country. The lesson here, as in so many things lately, is don’t wait for or rely on government to do anything for you. You have more sense and discernment than most politicians.

Palin: Please Help Save Saeed

Sarah Palin posted a link on her Facebook page leading to Bristol's Blog in order to encourage her readers to learn more about the plight of an American pastor in Iran.  Saeed Abedini is a Christian who has been sentenced to prison for his faith. 

From Bristol's Blog: 

A few weeks ago my mom tweeted about an American pastor named Saeed Abedini being held and tortured by the radical Iranian regime.  He’s been sentenced to eight years in Iran’s most brutal prison simply because of his Christian faith.

This pastor and father has shown enormous courage, but now Iranians are lying to him in prison — telling him that Americans have forgotten about him.

Yesterday was Save Saeed day, and Christian and country musicians across the U.S., including Toby Mac, Ricky Skaggs, Steven Curtis Chapman, Mercy Me, and many others tweeted for him and signed a petition for his freedom.  (In fact, #SaveSaeed was trending on Twitter yesterday!  Let’s keep it up!) The American Center for Law and Justice represents his family and is organizing a petition on his behalf.  Please consider signing and telling this American pastor that he will never be forgotten.

We should never leave an American behind.

How you can help:

1.  Sign the petition.

2. Tweet using: #SaveSaeed.

3. Pray for Pastor Saeed, his family in Iran, and his wife and children here in the United States.  More

Palin: Chris was a Wonderful Friend, Good Man & True American Hero

So many of us were deeply saddened to hear of the tragic and untimely death of American hero Chris Kyle.  Words seem inadequate at times such as these.  How do you thank someone who has willingly served and placed his life on the line in order to preserve this country's way of life, her Constitution and someone who, until his last moment, was trying to make the difference in the life of a fellow soldier?   My deepest sympathies and prayers are with the Kyle family. 

Posted to Sarah Palin's Facebook page: 

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and many friends of former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle tonight. Todd and I first met Chris in Pella, Iowa, when he helped out with security for the premiere of the film “The Undefeated.” And later we became friends with Chris when he was on “Stars Earn Stripes” with Todd. Chris was a wonderful man, a good friend, and a true American hero who loved our country and served honorably. He was loved and admired by so many, and he will never be forgotten.
