Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took to her Twitter account Friday to deride the Obama administration after U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley offered the Iranian president an “unclenched fist” in the form of a birthday greeting. Crowley wrote:
In response, Palin fired off two successive tweets, condemning the “Obama doctrine”:

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 5:58pmYou Can’t Fix Stupid – but you Can Vote ‘Em Out !!!
Our great country was founded by and for the citizens of the thirteen colonies. It was designed to insure that a central government was controlled and limited by representatives of those citizens. It was given a limited amount of power, with many checks and balances, to secure the rights and freedoms for its citizens. They were making sure that an American Government would and could not become as Britian had. England enacted laws and taxes on their American subjects, but without allowing the colonies a say in their government. Ignoring the will of the people of America, they bullied and took away what limited rights they had and tried to force them to comply. Sound familiar? Yes, we don’t have to look far across the Atlantic at a despotic leader, we have only to look at the Oval Office in Washington, D. C. and to those whom we had entrusted the liberties of the people and the country. Our representatives, Senate and the House, are there to represent the will of the people. Instead, they have consistently lied to their constituents, both during campaigns and when in office. They have consistently robbed the American people, not only of their money, but also by stealing their liberties, little by little. The incumbent office holders allow themselves to be above the law, they allow themselves to steal by back-room corrupt deals and the like. They ignore the very people who put them in office, they even resort to passing laws, under cover of darkness. They hide laws and corrupt deals in the midst of thousand of pages of laws. This has always been a trick of unethical lawyers. Their mindset is to bog down any opposition by inudating them with mountains of paperwork. Then, they laugh and call the people stupid and ignorant, or worse! No doubt, I could go on and on. Their lack of character, morals and ethics makes them unfit to be employed anywhere, let alone entrusted with the security, freedom, and economic growth of this great country. They have taken your freedom to worship, especially targeting Christianity. They have tried to rewrite the American history, to further their agendas, just like the Moslems continue to do with Israel.
Soon after deciding what sort of Government America was to become, that very question was asked of Benjamin Franklin. In reply Franklin said, “A Republic….if we can keep it”. This is a question that should be upon the lips of all true American patriots. If we can’t or more correctly, if we won’t, then we don’t deserve it. The choice is up to us, the American people, and the answer should be and must be yes we will!
You’re probably asking how do we insure that we will keep this nation a free Republic. Oh, we voted for only those who promised no more taxes, no more spending, etc., etc. Of course they all were proven to be liars again (or should I have said they were just not quite forthcoming or perhaps they were a little disingenuious?). Then we did the “best of the two evils” choice. This was no different than the “Magician’s Choice” trick! We now know that there is no difference between Republicans and the Democrats when it comes to which is telling the truth. Neither has the best interest of America at heart, probably not even in mind! Their goal is simply to acquire power, money, more power and more money while doing and saying anything to remain in office.
So what is the answer? They don’t listen when the people, overwhelmingly, protest and tries to voice their opposition. So the American people need to get their UNDIVIDED attention. How? WE THE PEOPLE, must vote any and all incumbents out of office. It doesn’t matter if they are better than most. If they haven’t been part of the solution, then they are part of the problem. THEY MUST KNOW AND WE MUST LET THEM KNOW THAT GOVERNMENT WILL NO LONGER BE RUN BY ROUGUE LAWYERS AND OPPORTUNISTS, PROGRESSIVES (AKA SOCIALISTS), ETC. THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN MODERN-DAY CARPETBAGGERS OR WANNA-BE DICTATORS. THEY MUST BE EDUCATED TO THE FACT THAT THEY WILL BE VOTED OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN, UNTIL THEY LEARN THAT OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO RUN THEIR OWN VERISON OF CRIME, INC.
AND THOSE THAT ARE ELECTED TO OFFICE, BUT CONTINUE TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT WILL SOON LEARN THEY WILL HAVE ONLY ONE TERM IN OFFICE.
We, the people, need to lobby our newly elected representatives to enact new laws to insure ALL our freedoms, our security, etc. Enact laws that ethical or criminal behavior of representatives will be prosecuted swiftly and severly, with no possibility of any pardon…not by a state Governor nor by a President! Enact laws or amendments to limit a President to one term only, ensuring that any damage to our country will not be as damaging as is obvious with this Government. Further limit the terms of our Representatives, both in the Senate and the House. Imperative to limit the term of all Supreme Court Justices to no more than an eight year term and make an amendment that the justices can no longer re-interpret the Constitution, but uphold the laws as it was written and intended by the original framers.
So, the bottom line is this: unless the American people get the undivided attention of those in government…when you and your family members are homeless and hungry or at the very least jobless…remember, you have only yourselves to blame.
THE ONLY WAY TO INSURE THAT YOUR FUTURE REPRESENTATIVES WILL LISTEN TO ITS CONSTITUENTS IS VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS!!! FROM THAT POINT ON, EACH REPRESENTATIVE MUST KNOW WE WILL VOTE THEM OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL WE HAVE RESPONSIBLE REPRESENTATIVES THAT UNDERSTAND THEY ARE THERE FOR THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
You Can’t Fix Stupid – but you Can Vote ‘Em Out !!!

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 5:55pmI love Sarah and what she is doing: speaking the truths. I love that so many people love her. Unfortunately I don’t think she would EVER be voted in as the President of our country, if for no other reason than she is too plainly speaking the truth and 98% of the people in this country don’t have the backbone to back her up or to stand up and speak the truth for themselves. Most of my family members, all of whom are educated and articulate, detest her. They cite her shooting from the hip, her abrasiveness, etc; I think the real issue is that she is a gorgeous, articulate, strong female but none of them have the guts to acknowledge how she convicts their lack of their own strength. Leave her alone about running, she is doing an amazing job just speaking the truth without the constraints of politics.

I must agree with Gov. Sarah Palin on this one … snub our allies and coddle our enemies sure seem to fly in the face of past American (successful) Foreign Policy. Ever hear of “Walk softly and carry a BIG STICK”? The Obama Administration seems to walk meekly, bow to Kings, and feign indifference towards our friends… confusing to say the least, embarrassing perhaps a better word …

Posted on October 30, 2010 at 2:43amFunny thing about the American military-they are the greatest soldiers in the world. The majority of them are bred from stock from the greatest country in the world. There are a great many ‘ex’ military in America, and even more Americans who have yet (may or may not) served. Don‘t think for a minute that the majority of Americans won’t stand united and terminate radical extremists if they dare show their warrior faces to us and take battle against us in our own country… American is one of the few countries left where these militants don’t dare commit the riots and attrocities that are happening in other countries of the world. There’s a reason for that. Americans won’t let America fall, they will reach inside themselves, unite, and do what has to be done. We were founded by Patriots. We were bred from Patriots. We are Patriots.

Posted on October 30, 2010 at 12:42amI am a staunch conservative, but I have to agree with JVG on this one. This was a sarcastic comment made by Crowley, not a sincere happy birthday wish. It seems that Sarah Palin either didn’t understand it or is playing the political game just like everyone else. I think Crowley should have thought twice about it before he wrote it, just because of exactly this kind of reaction, but that is all he’s guilty of, if anything.

Is sister Sarah were the “diplomat” she claims to be she would have seen that. I only hope that her ignorance has not caused irreparable harm to the already precarious situation. Furthermore, if those two are held one day longer than they “could” have been or are harmed in any way I will put the blame for their misery squarely on Sarah’s shoulders and her ignorance of foreign affairs.
