Sarah Palin: US Troops Must be Second to None

Via Facebook

Can’t wait to meet our troops – and all those who love the U.S. Armed Forces – tomorrow at Ft. Bragg. Read my book’s dedication page. The book is for these Patriots who fight for freedom. They deserve our support and our government’s unwavering commitment to equipping them for victory.

The book tour is beyond all expectations. This feels like the time when a team comes together, gearing up before a major competition to show unity and supply strength and encouragement to each team member equally, regardless of the team member’s role or title.

On this tour I hear the grave concerns Americans have for our children’s future. I also feel the hope so many of you want to cling to – hope for those on Capitol Hill to see the light, hope for politicians to be humble enough to acknowledge that growing the federal government isn’t the answer to our economic challenges, hope that it won’t take another terrorist strike to wake us up to continued threats by those who hate America and our allies.

At every stop on this tour I see Americans coming together to say, “Enough. We love our country too much to just sit down and shut up while politicians take us for a ride. We shall be heard.”

We see a united team.

Now, I want to give you more hope: We are Americans. Anything is possible in America. Anyone can make a positive difference. You don’t need a title or a political position or a pedigree. We can take our country back from those who think growing national debt will grow prosperity for us, the little guys. We can take it back from those who think shrinking military power will make the homeland safer for us, the little guys.

We can take it back because we’re fired up, and we’re all about telling our government to listen to us, trust us, get back on our side… or politicians: you’re fired.

Plunging our country deeper and deeper in debt; borrowing billions from foreign countries; relying on foreign nations to supply us with energy; talking about sanctions against dangerous regimes but not following through; hesitating to surge aggressively to stop terrorist strongholds from growing; allowing government to take over health care, banks, the auto industry, and who knows what else they’ve got up their sleeves... it’s all too much and we’ve had enough.

Ronald Reagan knew it took a united team to right the wrongs of Washington. He told his team in essence, “Gentlemen and Ladies, I hate inflation; I hate taxes; I hate terrorists. Do something about it.”

America, you’re doing something about it! Thank you for standing up and speaking out. Thank you for holding on to hope, for loving America so passionately and supporting our troops who fight for freedom. Keep the faith!

You might be a chauvinist pig if ...

By Nicole Coulter

With Governor Sarah Palin's book tour in full swing, we're noticing the recurrence of Palin Derangement Syndrome, but more specifically, a particular strain of PDS we like to call ... CPD(Chauvinist Pig Disease). It is particularly virulent, and pops up on message boards everywhere on the net. To assist those, especially enlightened progressives, who fear they might be suffering from the malicious illness, we've assembled a helpful guide to the most common symptoms:

You might be a chauvinist pig if ....

You supported Howard Dean enthusiastically in 2004, a man who ran a state with 40,000 fewer people and 60 times less land mass than Alaska ... but you think Sarah Palin is unqualified to run for president because she governed a small state.

You might be a chauvinist pig if ....

You voted for Bill Clinton and thought he was qualified despite the fact that Arkansas' state budget was six times smaller than Alaska's $14 billion ... And you think Sarah Palin has no executive experience.

You might be a chauvinist pig if ....

You voted for Dr. Utopia/Barack Obama after he spent just 150 actual days in the U.S. Senate ... but you think Sarah's 675 days running Alaska is an automatic disqualifier.

You might be a chauvinist pig if ....

You think Obama's part-time job in the Illinois state legislature was more important than Sarah Palin's full-time job managing the city of Wasilla.

You might be a chauvinist pig if ....

You hate Hillary Clinton, too.

You might be a chauvinist pig if ....

You think Sarah is stupid for saying "You betcha" but don't have a problem with Obama saying "Wee Weed Up."

You might be a chauvinist pig (and first rate imbecile) if ...

You're more concerned with Bristol's pregnancy than energy independence.

You might be a chauvinist pig (and hypocrite) if ...

Obama voting "present" 130 times as a legislator doesn't bother you, but Sarah's resignation after accomplishing 95% of her policy initiatives does.

You might be a chauvinist pig if ....

You can't stop yourself from clicking on every single article about Sarah Palin and commenting just so you can demean her, mock her state, question her intelligence, and trash her family while claiming ludicrously that she is "irrelevant."

Sufferers from CPD should immediately leave their caves and join the 21st Century.

Sarah Palin: In the Midnight Hour

Via Facebook

The Senate is set to vote Saturday night, right before the holiday, on a motion to proceed on its latest health care government take-over bill. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is pushing for yet another weekend vote (commonplace now for the party of “transparency”) because he knows that the American people will be none too happy about the Democrats’ proposal the longer they have to look it over.

A vote against the Democrats’ motion will help stop Obamacare before it gets any closer to becoming a reality. While this Saturday night vote might seem like a procedural matter, at the end of the day a vote against Senator Reid’s motion is a vote against massive new government spending and a take-over of 1/6th of the U.S. economy; it’s a vote against billions in tax increases and penalties; it’s a vote against federal funding of abortion; and it’s a vote against ignoring responsible tort reform.

And in case you hadn’t heard – just a reminder that you’ll start paying higher taxes to fund this scheme in 2010 even though it doesn’t start up until 2014. Only in Washington does that make any sense. Among the provisions in this bill will be a $2500 cap on Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). The IRS allows families with special needs children to use FSAs to cover educational expenses. This new $2500 cap will hit these families especially hard and cost them hundreds of dollars in new taxes every year.

Contact your senators and tell them to vote against the motion to proceed tomorrow night. The American people don’t support this – we support the commonsense solutions that have been proposed, but totally ignored by (at this point) some out-of-control Washington politicians. Let’s put a stop to Obamacare before it goes any further.

Sarah Palin: Not Enough Hours in the Day

Via Facebook

The response on this book tour has been overwhelming. We are truly humbled, and I thank you.

I've been told that yesterday there were supporters in Noblesville who stood in long lines for hours in the cold and rain, and the book signing event ended without a chance to say hello to everyone who showed up. I am so sorry. We are working on a solution for those who were left behind.

I apologize.

Sarah Palin: Cancer Screenings - Rational Advice or Rationed Care?

Via Facebook

It was a breath of fresh air to finally hear the Democrats admit to their health care bill as “a lot of show and tell and razzmatazz,” (see Democrat talking points, in reference to my book). At least now we’re all on the same page when discussing the problems with their monstrous government health care “reform” plan.

Now, tonight, more disconcerting news – the New York Times reports of new guidelines to scale back cervical cancer screenings. The recommendation from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists comes on the heels of another recommendation to limit breast cancer screenings with mammograms. There are many questions unanswered for me, but one which immediately comes to mind is whether costs have anything to do with these recommendations. The current health care debate elicits great concern because of its introduction of socialized medicine in America and the inevitable rationed care. We need to carefully watch this debate as it coincides with Capitol Hill’s debate and determine whether we are witnessing the early stages of that rationed care before the Senate bill is rushed through as well.

Another question is why these women-focused cancers are seemingly receiving substandard attention at a time when proactive health and fitness should be the message. Every woman should encourage rigorous debate to ensure that our collective voices are heard. We are paying attention to Washington’s health care proposals, and we want to hear what helps patients the most.

We need answers: Is early screening not saving lives? Why do doctors’ groups disagree? Did costs play any role in these decisions to change the recommendations on breast and cervical cancer screenings? We need assurances that everything we’ve heard this week about fewer tests for women’s cancers is a result of patient-focused research and providing the best care for the right reasons, and not because of bureaucratic pressure to control costs.

Obviously the first thought that comes to mind when hearing of these new recommendations from bureaucratic panels is “rationed care.” It’s fair – and healthy – to ask if that’s what Washington has in mind with a government-controlled takeover of a health care system.

Sarah Palin: Going Rogue Tour!

Via Facebook

The first three stops on the Going Rogue book tour have been exhilarating!

I am humbled by the outpouring of support and have so enjoyed meeting and hearing from such great Americans in Michigan and Indiana. Our next three stops will keep us in the Heartland, and we hope that you can make it to one of our events in Cincinnati or Columbus, Ohio; or Washington, Pennsylvania.

Enjoy the pictures and go rogue with us!

Details of the second half of the Going Rogue book tour!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in every stop on the tour, but I'm especially looking forward to meeting our brave men and women in uniform at Fort Hood. I'm joining the efforts of many others by donating my royalties from the book sales during our stop at Fort Hood to the families of the victims whose lives have been forever changed by the tragic events of November 5th. I am humbled to be able to join the larger effort called "Community Response to 11/5," which was established by the Central Texas-Fort Hood Chapter of the Association of the US Army (AUSA). You can read more about their great efforts here: http://www.forthoodausa.org/.

Sarah Palin: Multi-Part Interview with Barbara Walters

Via Facebook

Had a great conversation today with Barbara Walters regarding America’s special needs community. Her compassion for those who some in our society see as “less than perfect” comes from personal experience as she was so close to her sister. Barbara wrote lovingly about her sister in her #1 bestselling memoir titled, Audition. Barbara and I even attempted to interview Trig during this segment, but he was about as patient through the interview as any other year-and-a-half child! I appreciate Barbara highlighting America’s special needs community. The beautiful heart of our country shines when we embrace these precious ones. Knowing of their unconditional love and need for our embrace reminds me every day of what really matters in this world.

Sarah Palin: Newsweek

Via Facebook

The choice of photo for the cover of this week's Newsweek is unfortunate. When it comes to Sarah Palin, this "news" magazine has relished focusing on the irrelevant rather than the relevant. The Runner's World magazine one-page profile for which this photo was taken was all about health and fitness - a subject to which I am devoted and which is critically important to this nation. The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist and oh-so-expected by now. If anyone can learn anything from it: it shows why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, gender, or color of skin. The media will do anything to draw attention - even if out of context.

Bob Schieffer's Other Predictions

By Nicole Coulter

This morning on The CBS Early Show, Bob Schieffer graciously offered his conclusion that Sarah Palin does not have a future in politics. Despite the epoch book tour and more interest in her than the entire Republican party, he deemed her merely a momentary "amusement." Fortunately, through the wonders of the internet we were able to track down a few of Mr. Schieffer's other predictions over his 130-year career in journalism and see how they've turned out. By the looks of it, Palin's got quite the future!

Talking about Michael Jordan in June of 1990:

SCHIEFFER: I think Michael Jordan is going to sell a lot of Gatorade and shoes. I think he’ll be a great attraction, you know, as an amusement....But I can’t imagine that he has much future as an NBA champion. I really don’t. He can score a lot of points, but he's just not in the same league as Larry Bird or Isiah Thomas. He's whining now about the Bad Boys who applied those Jordan Rules on him and his own coaches. I don’t think it’s going to work.... It’s kind of like a baseball player blaming the other team or the bat boy or something. After losing in the playoffs for 8 straight years, my guess is Jordan is not ever going to win an NBA championship. I don’t think he'll get that far.”

On Ronald Reagan's future in 1976:

SCHIEFFER: I think Ronald Reagan is going to sell a lot of hair gel and magazine subscriptions. I think he’ll be a great attraction, you know, as an amusement....But I can’t imagine that he has much future in politics. I really don’t. He can give a good speech, but he's just not in the same league as Jimmy Carter or Gerald Ford. He's whining now about the evils of communism and the wimps in his own party. I don’t think it’s going to work.... It’s kind of like a baseball player blaming the other team or the bat boy or something. After losing in the primary to Gerald Ford, my guess is Reagan is not ever going to become president. I don’t think he'll get that far.”

On the rise of the Beatles in 1964:

SCHIEFFER: I think the Beatles are going to sell a lot of albums. I think they’ll be a great attraction, you know, as an amusement....But I can’t imagine that they have much future as recording artists. I really don’t. They can put on a good show, but they're just not in the same league as The Beach Boys and The Everly Brothers. My guess is the Beatles will be a big deal for short time, but I don’t think we'll be talking about them in three years.”

On the invention of the light bulb in 1879:

SCHIEFFER: I think Thomas Edison is going to sell a lot of light bulbs. I think they’ll be a great attraction, you know, as an amusement....But I can’t imagine that incandescent lighting has much of a future as an actual household commodity. I really don’t. Sure these little bulbs light up a room, but they're just not in the same league as oil lamps. I don’t think they'll get us that far.”

Amazing predictions, Bob. Keep up the great work!
