Alaska releases some 20,000 personal emails of then Governor Sarah Palin and the Media frenzy begins. Everyone from the New York Times to the League of Women voters go to Juno Alaska, not the most accessible city in America, to start digging, not for Gold but dirt.
Why?
What is this almost fanatic focus on Sarah Palin? Is it she is an outspoken Conservative woman or is it the fact she refused to lay down take the abuse and be destroyed by her detractors? I believe it's more the latter. The Opfor of politics tried to destroy her, tried to break up their marriage even, but yet she still survives not only just survives but turned it around and got fairly wealthy because of it.
God Bless America.
So why is it that Media, the left and even some from the Center and Right want to see her shutdown?
I don't know if you are a Nascar fan, but there was a Driver that elicited such response in the viewing public. Dale Earnhardt was that driver. You either loved him or you hated him. There was very little in between. Dale was in my opinion one of the largest figures in Nascar, when he spoke everyone listened and he did more to change the sport then most imagine. On the track he was relentless. If you had the lead with a lap or two to go your worst nightmare was to have your spotter tell you that #3 was on your bumper, because 9 out of 10 times if Dale could loosen you up he would. He was a winner.
A lot of people however don't know his real story off the track. His charity is not so well known.
Sarah is a lot like Dale in that she engenders the same reactions either you love her or hate her. But the hate her crowd almost does so with a frantic zeal that borders on obsession.
The recent muck-up is over her statements on Paul Revere. Never-mind the fact that she was Historically accurate and she used the analogy in context she is torn to smithereens from the "enlightened" media who didn't take a moment to check their facts. Nope they just ran with the story that Sarah was a moron and wrong.
Do we even have an unbiased media anymore or have they all just turned into muckrakers? Media bias is real and easy to spot. Just turn on any of the so called Main stream media outlets or read any of the main stream papers and you can view it nightly. America is tired. Tired of politics as usual. Tired of the lies. Tired of Politicians telling us what is right for us. Tried of Government dipping into our pockets for their spending foolishness. Tried of being though of as sheeple.
We have had it and we are not going to take it anymore. These attacks by the Progressive media and the Progressive party's campaign of financial destruction of our wealth as a Nation must end.
It cheapens us all and it cheapens America.
How so?
“How So?”
I assume you mean how does it matter? If so, I meant in the sense that many people have a “business email address” and one or more “personal” email address(es).
In this case, it was an official FOIA request to the State of Alaska for public records from the governor’s “business” email account. Were I the author of the column, I wouldn’t have used the word “personal” as to make that distinction.
Like I said, picky, but it matters IMO.
