For a high-profile speaker, Sarah Palin got one of the more difficult jobs one can get at a rally: warming up the early morning crowd. That said, when the crowd is thousands of Tea Party-affiliated Americans enthusiastic about restoring their nation’s honor, it’s not so difficult to get them fired up. Palin dedicated her speech to the troops, honored several American soldiers, and thanked the greatest Americans, both large and small in legacy, for their contributions.
Before going through a list of US soldiers that were receiving awards today for their exemplary service, Palin took the time to go through some of America’s greatest leaders– George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and, of course, Martin Luther King, Jr. She thanked him for providing “a dream that would challenge us to honor the sacred charters of hour liberty, and reminded the audience that, “in honoring them [the great Americans], we must not forget the ordinary men and women… our men and women in uniform, a force for good in this country, and that is nothing to apologize for.”
The full speech via C-SPAN below in the linked article here.
thank you, aphid, for the Sarah photo!
I saw her speech. It was AMAZING. When she honored the marine who had lost his hands, it was so touching. Great speech. BRAVO!!
It was a wonderful speech at a wonderful rally for an awesome and wonderful God!
Today, I think my word will be “wonderful!” ;^)
This is what a private Alaskan citizen, mom of 5, is doing today for our country, our economy, etc.
While the resident DC usurper and his family/friends are vacationing on our dime. He’s enjoying ‘our’ crisis.
GO SARAH!!
i’m a little late today. any idea how many are there? AP via yahoo, is claiming “tens of thousands”. usually they tend to suppress the actual turnout of conservatives, so i’m guessing it’s at least 100-200K.
he vacationed during the “what tea party”? last year.
Try 500,000.
Yes, I remember.
I saw her speech too. I stayed off my computer until the end of the whole event. Well, almost the end. Right up until the bagpipes.
Glenn’s finest hours and such a success.
Sarah was wonderful!!!
Thanks for the great pic, onyx. Those bagpipers look pretty pleased to be in that photo. :)
Yes, I echo your sentiments, dear SheLayne!
WONDERFUL works for me too!!!!
that’s what i thought. ;)
i guess that’s “tens of thousands” (AP bias gag).
Could there possibly be a more stark contrast?
GO SARAH AMERICA!
Its time folks. First in November, and then from there.
Get involved and oust the communists. Wherever these communists are, we need to defeat them.
Go Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is going to be my new, FAVORITE picture!! What an inspiring speech she gave.
The whole event was amazing beyond words...very uplifting. I laughed, teared up, and was so very proud of those that could attend and those that were honored.
Restore America. Just two words says it all.
