Palin: 'Screw the political correctness'
I didn't get to this in my story on Palin's lower-48 in Seneca Falls, but she hasn't lost her ability to deliver a raw, base-riling stemwinder, and her introduction of Michael Reagan in Anchorage the other night is worth a listen (.mp3) and is currently making the rounds on the right.
She opens the introduction praising Reagan's son, a talk radio guy, for his willingness "to screw the political correctness that some would expect him to try to adhere to."
She blasts "self-proclaimed intellectuals, and the smug lobbyists who dominate Washington, and the liberal media."
And she suggests Obama is trying to impose big government as a tool of control.
"We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population, and fearful lawmakers, being led to believe that big government is the answer, to bail out the private sector, because then government gets to get in there and control it," she says. "And mark my words, this is going to be next, I fear, bail out next debt-ridden states. Then government gets to get in there and control the people."
CNN had a write-up, but a reader notes the speech -- perhaps because of that killer time difference -- didn't get the coverage I think it probably deserved.

Love that graphic! Remember, Sarah actually graduated with a degree in journalism and worked in the industry, so she understands the presstitudes all too well. That's why they are afraid of her!
Like Hollywood and Washington, journalism is populated by a lot of useless people with an overinflated sense of self-worth who are adept at nothing but promoting themselves.

"We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population, and fearful lawmakers, being led to believe that big government is the answer, to bail out the private sector, because then government gets to get in there and control it," she says. "And mark my words, this is going to be next, I fear, bail out next debt-ridden states. Then government gets to get in there and control the people." The only Pub politician willing and able to tell the unvarnished truth about what's going on. That line's a keeper.

Read the comments at the link.
The snarky Obama-bots are on patrol, attacking Sarah at every mention of her name.
I think they have a better reading on where the real Republican threat to the ObamaNation lies than do the supposed Republican part leaders.

Sarah in her truest form! Is there any wonder why I support this woman 125%? My heart goes out to America that they screwed the pooch by voting in the man who is destined to take America down if the people doesn’t do something to stop him. Something like high crimes and misdemeanors?

She opens the introduction praising Reagan's son, a talk radio guy, for his willingness "to screw the political correctness that some would expect him to try to adhere to." So she was referring to Michael's style not making the comment about herself. I didn't know that. That makes this a misleading headline but that's not uncommon for the Obama worshiping media.

BIG K FOR SARAH !
Barely heard such straight talk from european politicians.
In addition she has principles,values and faith...
A very smart woman!
That’s why libtardnuts tried and will try to destroy her.
Hope she has a tough staff and a big team of supporters to help her and watch out.
Without McCAIN she probably would have been elected!

Palin for President!! Too bad the RNC will never allow it. She’s “too conservative” to be elected, they will say. We need a “big tent” candidate, like McCain, they will say.
Puke. The Republican Party deserves to die the slow agonizing death that is coming its way.
To: lewisglad
'Screw The Political Correctness'Exactly. Only the liberals say we must accept abortion, homosexuality, welfare, and green legislation. That's not what WE believe, and this is a free country. Screw them is right.
Never mind what the left wants. Let them want. No one says we have to obey.
Let's talk about what WE want, otherwise, the left sets the agenda.
Talk about what WE want, otherwise, the liberal press tells voters who we are and what we believe.
Speak up now, or forever hold your tongues. Never mind what the liberals want. What's more important is what WE want.
(I give thanks for more politicians speaking out against the Lucifer leftists evil agenda. Amen)
