This is a post from TeflonWarrior at Conservatives4Palin who was actually there”
“Yes the “Thrilla from Wasilla” took the stage today!
I was there and it was an event I don’t think anyone there will forget. She started with the dollar under the seat,(Dollar taped under the seats of the graduates to teach 2 lessons) 1.Got to get off your butt to make a buck. 2. Take time to look for it. This went over really great with everyone.
Then she talked about how some West washington reporters were trying to make a small town in Washington feel bad about themselves. She then told a story of a teacher who was trying to get to Alaska to be reunited with his family, his old car broke down and as he dropped off his car he didn’t know how much it was going to cost and he was worried. He went to a nearby diner where he talked to all the nice folks there. When they told him his car was fixed he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to pay the bill. The mechanic told him he would only take $10. Then she said, you know that’s the value of small town America. That teacher was my dad and those nice people were the people of Republic!
The crowd just erupted!!
Then she continued, “So when I got a request from Republic to come speak at this graduation, you bet I agreed!”
Another eruption of applause.
I think everyone was as surprised as I was! Afterwards my daughters and I got a chance to talk to both her and Todd and take pictures, she was as gracious as always and took time for anyone that came up. I told her that she nailed it & I got a big smile. There’s no stopping our Sarah Palin when she’s on a roll!”
Thank you so much, for adding that, Bigtigermike!!!
She’s the very best.
God bless and keep Sarah Palin and her precious family.
I am so jealous. I really pray that God will raise her up to lead our nation back to the greatest it once was.
Ping to Windy. Good thread, and post 24 may make your eyes get a big misty ... it did mine.
