Gov. Palin: There’s no such thing as a coincidence

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin today posted this Status Update on Facebook:

There’s no such thing as a coincidence. Today I’m looking forward to speaking at a pro-life women’s resource center in Nevada. I intend again to remind women that we are strong enough and capable enough to choose life and work together to create a culture that empowers everyone to live to the fullest. How ironic that on this same day President Obama will be headlining a gala event for the highly controversial and repeatedly discredited organization Planned Parenthood. He’s the first sitting president to speak to them, but then again he’s also the first president who is so radically pro-abortion that as a state senator he refused three times to vote in favor of legislation that would simply provide medical attention to babies born alive from botched abortions. Considering the role Planned Parenthood has played in looking the other way while the mass murdering abortion doctor Gosnell butchered babies born alive from his horrific infanticide procedures and abused his women patients, it’s perhaps not surprising that this same president sees nothing wrong with allowing his name to be so openly associated with this organization.

Please take a look at the following excerpt from Jonah Goldberg’s book “Liberal Fascism” for information about the racist and eugenicist origins of Planned Parenthood, then ask yourself again why in the world our president would “bless” the cruel underlying efforts of an organization like this. Do you want him to spend your family’s hard earned tax dollars funding this culture of death? Surely there are people of good conscience within Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion centers who will feel the imperative within themselves to find other ways to help women in their time of need. There are so many better answers than merely eliminating the most precious, promising ingredient we have on earth – innocent human life. May efforts to cull the defenseless and vulnerable not be “blessed,” instead may God bless those who decide that respecting a culture of life in America is the only way to get us out of the mess we’re in.

National Review Online | Print Margaret Sanger, whose American Birth Control League became Planned Parenthood, was the founding mother of the birth-control movement. She is today considered a liberal saint, a founder of modern feminism, and one of the leading lights of the Progressive pantheon. Gloria Feldt of Planned Parenthood…

Palin or Cruz has to announce NOW, so we have time to rally behind either one.

The GOPe has obviously decided on Jeb.

We need one or all of the following three things to fight them:

1) Tea Party conservatives rally early behind a single candidate.
2) One or two billionaires chooses Palin or Cruz.
3) Rush, Shaun, Glenn and Mark have to rally behind one of these candidates early. I wish they would gather in a smoke-filled room.

Sadly, I don't expect #2 or #3 to happen, so it's up to us. Pulling us together will be like herding cats. But it's our best bet. And it's something we can control.

Yep, I understand.
He’s adorable and completely loved.

Attention left wing scum. This is your god being discussed here. And this is the woman you revile.

How can you look in the mirror without throwing up?

Contrasted with:

Obama Live Birth Abortion Induced Labor Abortions 2008 .

Obama voted three times defending this horrific act.

Barack Obama on Abortion in his own words .

Very, VERY well said S.T.A!!!

I am saving that one for the future!

The Pro Death Dems are dead inside! Sadly that is nearly all of them. I think that is a reason why we see such hate from them in general and to Sarah in particular. They know they are in the wrong.

She made an earlier post today that I really liked:

I love inspirational people like my sister Heather! For her 50th birthday she just decided she'd up and run a marathon thousands of miles away in New Orleans after such limited time and even more limited training opportunities in freezing cold snow-covered Alaska all this long, long winter. Heather works full-time with children with special needs in the Anchorage School District, plus she works weekends in a dental office and conducts tours for Alaska Salmon Berry Tours, in addition to helping at the family-owned business, Bruce's Muldoon Chevron gas station. And she and her husband raise three busy kids! Heather helps out with all the nieces and nephews (thank you for stepping in so often for Todd and me, Heather!), too. She helps answer my mail and fends off pesky reporters who unfortunately bug her to try to get to me to do more of their bugging.

So, Heather decided to fly to New Orleans by herself. She hasn't traveled like that since college. She went to the race with no support. I was ticked at her that she was missing the birthday party we were throwing for her that weekend (well, it was a combined party to include the annual after-Iron Dog celebration for Todd, plus her birthday... we're always killing a few birds with one stone), but I forgave her because when she texted me her plan she was already on her way to the airport, so there was no backing out. She's the one who bakes the magical homemade chocolate cakes for our parties, but we forgave her for the missing magic at the party anyway.

We all texted her after the race.

"I did ok," she humbly offered. "Hurt like heck, naturally, died a thousand deaths, but it was decent, I guess. Glad I did it."

We congratulated her and left it at that. Then my sister Molly went over to Heather’s house today and sees Heather’s plaque from the New Orleans Rock 'n Roll marathon for her OUTSTANDING 26.2 mile performance! She ran a 3:42:27 and placed second in her age group! (She'd forgotten to mention all that!) Heather's always been a great athlete, and we all share a love of running, hiking, streaming sweat through Bikram, and anything active outdoors, but none of us can keep up with her! (She can do three sets of push ups, 70 at a time, and finish with an additional 30; BOY push ups! I crumble at the thought.) She's truly an inspiration. And so humble...

But the coolest thing about all this today, besides finally finding out her kick-butt race time, was re-reading her most recent group text to the family. It wasn't about her fitness prowess, or how busy she is, or her overcoming obstacles that others use as excuses to avoid getting outside and enjoying all that our beautiful states have to offer. It wasn't about her being able to qualify for the Boston Marathon (which we hope she'll run someday, just like our dad did back in the 80's!) Instead, Heather texted a proud mom's moment.

Her son, our nephew, has autism. Karcher will always add another dimension and perspective to the family's life. The road has not been easy and may never get any easier. But we've all said Karcher is our red-headed angel that God knew to place with Kurt and Heather because they're gifted enough to handle all He allows. The Bruces are amazing. (And Heather will want to wring my neck for bragging about her. Or she'll arm wrestle me into oblivion to teach me a lesson.)

Heather's text today explained that she doesn't have the typical Facebook page to brag about her kids like so many do, but she wanted to share a recent wonderful accomplishment -- not her own, but her son's.

Karcher will be graduated from East High School next month in the Top 10% of all students! He was given a University of Alaska Scholars Award, and he also won an "Excellence at East" award for his amazing progress through such challenging high school years, especially through the relentlessly and sometimes inexplicable difficult social situations a child with obvious challenges must endure. His teacher and the principal signed the award certificate. It encouraged Karcher to reach for the stars and always be proud to be an East High Thunderbird! Native tradition tells us that the thunderbird represents an indomitable spirit. That describes Karch.

Add to that spiritual description: inspiration, example, athlete, heroine... and you've got his mom, our sister Heather!

It's extremely troubling that Sarah will probably be the only prominent voice to speak out about the rot in this country symbolized by the current monster(s) in the white house.

[redhead]

Right now, I’m praying also for the pray-ers. I am also praying for the watchers. Jesus admonished us to “watch and pray,” and so we shall. May we always be a barrier between the forces that seek to destroy us and the good and righteous intent of the founders’ dreams for America. We must not give up, even when it seems that all is lost. “Trust in the LORD with all thy heart, and lean not on thine own understanding.” (Prov. 3:5)

[don-o]

The GOPe has obviously decided on Jeb.

We use to have polls on the board from time to time, iirc. (Could be wrong. But, maybe some script could be written to create one.) I really like the idea of trying to get conservatives united against the machinations that are already in motion.

What about it Jim? Can we have a poll of FReepers for who we would like to see for POTUS in 2016? The RINOs aare getting busy. Why can't we?

[KC_Lion]

Thank you for Posting that Bratch!

Even I don't Post EVERYTHING Sarah says or is said about her but I am glad that inspirational post has made it's way here.

Thank You!

I don't want them punished with a Baby

He is a Vile Evil Man!

Sarah is his Exact Opposite! Thank G-d!

[RedMDer]

Bump!

[Jane Long]

Bless you!! Spiritual sustenance is required, daily. That passage, along with your message, is exactly what I need to be reminded of, today :)

[penelopesire]

Beautiful post KC!! Thank you for the ping!!

[Jim Robinson]

John had to take our polling software down. It was causing a huge drag on the server. He said he’d redesign and rewrite it, but hasn’t done so yet. Hopefully he will soon.

[Bratch]

No problem.

That’s quite a family. THREE sets of 70 push-ups; not bad for a 50-year old, no matter the gender.

[boxlunch]

Absolutely. We have got to decide early on the conservative candidate so we don’t have another primary fiasco.
