Palin: tells Reno Safari Club hunting, fishing part of nation's heritage

More than 200 people paid $100 per plate to hear Sarah Palin speak at the Reno Safari Club this past weekend.  It's being reported that Sarah spoke about her family, love of the outdoors and the importance of protecting the enviroment.

From www.rgj.com:

Unlike Sarah Palin’s other visits to Northern Nevada since 2008, only early birds with the Safari Club International got to hear the former Republican vice-presidential candidate and former Alaska governor speak in Reno on Saturday night.

Dressed in their formal evening attire, some 2,000 Safari Club members spent $100 each for Reno’s hottest ticket — Palin’s speech behind the closed doors of the Peppermill Resort Spa Casino's Tuscany Ballroom.

Palin’s words, however, could occasionally be heard.

During a 40-minute speech, she talked of her love for the outdoors and the “delicate balance” between hunting and fishing and the outdoors.

“... I personally understand the importance of protecting the environment,” she said.
Hunting and fishing, Palin said, are part of America’s “heritage” and the country’s “exceptionalism.” More

Palin: Keynote Speaker for Reagan's 100th

From www.foxnews.com:

HERNDON, VA - Young America's Foundation announced today that Governor Sarah Palin will give the keynote address on February 4 at its Reagan 100 Opening Banquet at the Reagan Ranch Center in Santa Barbara, California, for the 100th anniversary celebration of President Reagan's birthday. Governor Palin was Alaska's youngest and first woman governor and the first female Vice Presidential candidate in the history of the GOP.

"I am very excited to have been selected to address Young America's Foundation's Reagan 100 dinner," Governor Palin said. "Young America's Foundation has been sharing the values of President Reagan with young people for more than 40 years, and there is no organization more committed to preserving freedom's future."

Palin: SarahPAC begins 2011 with 1.3 Million

Many Sarah Palin supporters have marked special dates and milestones by sending a contribution to SarahPAC and the most recent financial disclosure report demonstrates her continued ability to fundraise.  Sarah Palin's birthday is February 11th so, how about sending birthday wishes in the form of a small contribution?  You'll be helping Sarah to continue to support conservative candidates and perhaps a run for 2012.

From www.cnn.com:

(CNN) - Sarah Palin begins 2011 in solid financial shape, according to her Political Action Committee's most recent financial disclosure report.

Palin's Sarah PAC has just over $1.3 million in the bank and is carrying no debt, according to the filing with the Federal Elections Commission made public Thursday.

The filing also shows Palin raised just short of $280,000 in the last six weeks of the 2010, a number that is, understandably, well off the pace from her performance in the weeks leading up to the midterm elections when she traveled the country on behalf of conservative candidates. More

Palin: Obama’s Message to America: The Era of Big Government is Back, Now Help Me Pay For It

Sarah Palin pens her response to President Obama's State of the Union address.

From Sarah Palin's Facebook page:

The President’s State of the Union address boiled down to this message: “The era of big government is here as long as I am, so help me pay for it.” He dubbed it a “Winning The Future” speech, but the title’s acronym seemed more accurate than much of the content.

 Americans are growing impatient with a White House that still just doesn’t get it. The President proves he doesn’t understand that the biggest challenge facing our economy is today’s runaway debt when he states we want to make sure “we don’t get buried under a mountain a debt.” That’s the problem! We are buried under Mt. McKinley-sized debt. It’s at the heart of what is crippling our economy and taking our jobs. This is the concern that should be on every leader’s mind. Our country’s future is at stake, and we’re rapidly reaching a crisis point. Our government is spending too much, borrowing too much, and growing too much. Debt is stifling our private sector growth, and millions of Americans are desperately looking for work.

So, what was the President’s response? At a time when we need quick, decisive, and meaningful action to stop our looming debt crisis, President Obama gave us what politicians have for years: promises that more federal government “investment” (read: more government spending) is the solution.

Palin: Reagan was "America's Lifeguard:

In today's USAToday, Sarah Palin has penned a lovely tribute to President Ronald Reagan.  "Lifeguard" takes on an entirely different meaning as Governor Palin relates a story from Reagan's youth that I was unaware of.  ~Jackie~

From www.usatoday.com:

I had the privilege of coming of age during the era of Ronald Reagan. I like to think of him as America's lifeguard. As a teenager, Ronald Reagan saved 77 lives as a lifeguard on the Rock River, which ran through his hometown of Dixon, Ill. The day he was inaugurated in 1981, a local radio announcer famously declared, "The Rock River flows for you tonight, Mr. President."

The image of the lifeguard seems to represent what Reagan was to America and to the freedom-loving people of the world. He lifted our country up at a time when we were in the depths of economic, cultural and spiritual malaise. We were told that we must accept that the era of American greatness was over; but with his optimism and common sense, President Reagan held up a mirror to the American soul to remind us of our exceptionalism.

Palin: Combat Veteran

 

I would imagine that Sarah Palin may be feeling a little battle-weary these days.  As a Sarah Palin supporter, I know that I have my own battle-weary moments and for me, these moments have occurred as a result of my utter disbelief at the contempt and hate spewed at Sarah Palin.  I have watched people from all walks of life; celebrities, Democrats, Republicans, self-described Conservatives, reporters who should remain neutral and your everyday average person, vilify this woman and her family with reckless finger-pointing accusations with little or no basis in fact.  Apparently the 5 Ws of reporting that I learned in a high school journalism class (thank you Mrs. King), who, what, when, where, and why, no longer apply even to the largest media outlets that many Americans have come to rely upon and trust. (I'm not even going to get into my small-town local weekly that could not resist jumping on the "blame Palin bandwagon".)  If Sarah Palin is "unintelligent and not relevant" as we are continually told, the question of "why bother with her" begs to be answered.  The answer is glaringly obvious...... Sarah Palin is a relevant political warrior of freedom.  

~Jackie~

From www.americanthinker.com:

.....a ragtag army of freedom-loving Americans knows who's got the guts of a real Commander-in-Chief.  President Palin, we'll see you on January 20, 2013.

Apparently, America's next big scheduled argument is whether women soldiers should be allowed in combat.  Mark your calendars now to begin screaming your preferred talking points, yea or nay.  Politics Daily:

A study commission chartered by Congress is poised to send up to Capitol Hill a recommendation that the last remaining barriers to women - those that formally exclude them from infantry, armor and special forces -- be removed.

As far as I'm concerned, we already have our first female combat soldier, a breathtakingly brave warrior who suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous misfortune for the sake of our freedom, every day. More

Palin: Reflections of Sarah Palin by Ed Koch

From www/yonkerstribune.com:

As I see it, in the current battle for public opinion Sarah Palin has defeated her harsh and unfair critics. 

After the January 8 shooting of U.S. Representative  Gabrielle Giffords and the murder of six others in Tucson, Arizona, some television talking heads and members of the blogosphere denounced her and held her in part responsible for creating a climate of hatred that resulted in the mass attacks.

An example is Joe Scarborough and his crew on the “Morning Joe” show, which I watch and generally enjoy every morning at 6:30 a.m. when I rise to start the day.   Because Palin designated Congresswoman Giffords and others for defeat in the November elections by the use of crosshairs on website maps of the Congressional districts, they blamed Palin for creating an atmosphere that caused Jared Loughner (whom everyone now recognizes as being mentally disturbed) to embark on the shooting and killing spree.

Palin: America's Enduring Strength

From Sarah Palin's Facebook page:

 

Sarah Palin: "America's Enduring Strength" from Sarah Palin on Vimeo.

 

Text of Speech:

Like millions of Americans I learned of the tragic events in Arizona on Saturday, and my heart broke for the innocent victims. No words can fill the hole left by the death of an innocent, but we do mourn for the victims’ families as we express our sympathy.

I agree with the sentiments shared yesterday at the beautiful Catholic mass held in honor of the victims. The mass will hopefully help begin a healing process for the families touched by this tragedy and for our country.

Our exceptional nation, so vibrant with ideas and the passionate exchange and debate of ideas, is a light to the rest of the world. Congresswoman Giffords and her constituents were exercising their right to exchange ideas that day, to celebrate our Republic’s core values and peacefully assemble to petition our government. It’s inexcusable and incomprehensible why a single evil man took the lives of peaceful citizens that day.

There is a bittersweet irony that the strength of the American spirit shines brightest in times of tragedy. We saw that in Arizona. We saw the tenacity of those clinging to life, the compassion of those who kept the victims alive, and the heroism of those who overpowered a deranged gunman. Like many, I’ve spent the past few days reflecting on what happened and praying for guidance. After this shocking tragedy, I listened at first puzzled, then with concern, and now with sadness, to the irresponsible statements from people attempting to apportion blame for this terrible event.

Palin: Top Ten Reasons to Hate Her

 Megan Fox has written a most timely blog detailing the reasons why the left is always "hatin' on Palin".  Sarah Palin stands firm in her convictions and in truth, she is the ultimate "feminist" having it all...... a husband, children and success.   Having perfectly defined "feminist", one would think that she would be held up as an example for all but instead, she continues to be a target; however, through it all, Sarah still stands and is boldly fighting. 

Hatin’ Palin – Why Palin Provokes the Left’s Fury

9. She’s Married to the Father of All Her Children (i.e. Traditional Family)

Despite the best efforts of the tabloid media (and by tabloid I mean the major networks) to implode the Palins’ marriage, they failed. Sarah and her high school sweetheart, Todd, are still happily married and doing just fine. They have mutual admiration for each other and it shows. Everything out of Sarah’s mouth regarding her husband is complimentary.

5. She’s Pro-Life and Lives It

Of all the reasons to hate Sarah Palin (if you’re a moonbat) this is the one they won’t say out loud but believe me, it’s at the top of the list. In the leftist manual, a woman should never even consider keeping a disabled child. And if she actually does it, she is regarded as a freak. Someone who has no consideration for the groaning planet, heavy with the weight of too many people. A leftist believes even healthy babies should be pruned for the good of the species, so you can imagine their outrage at a person who willingly brings a child into the world who is less than perfect to consume more precious resources.

4. You Can’t Rattle Her

Despite the attacks, which unarguably have been the worst and most vicious in history, Sarah is still standing, never once bowing her head in defeat. Not only is she still standing, she ridicules and tweaks the Left regularly. They hate this. A few examples of Sarah’s refusal to be cowed come to mind.
