Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, whose daughter was once a target of ridicule by Kathy Griffin, turned the tables and ridiculed Griffin’s claims of being a victim after Griffin’s publicity stunt gave the comedian more negative publicity than she could have ever imagined.
In 2011, Griffin made a New Year’s resolution that touched on the Palin family.
“I’ve already gone for Sarah, Todd and Bristol obviously,” Griffin said. “But I think it’s Willow’s year to go down. In2011, I want to offend a new Palin.”
With Griffin already under fire for the photo in which she held a prop resembling the severed head of President Donald Trump, Palin decided the time had come to add her voice to the national clamor against Griffin.
“Kathy Griffin has mercilessly attacked children for years,” Palin wrote on her Facebook page.
“When this ‘celebrity’ (who ‘celebrates her, btw?) traveled all the way to Wasilla and actually knocked on my home’s door to personally humiliate my kids again, I knew she was deranged,” Palin wrote.
Griffin had left a note that read, “Dear Palins who are 18 years old or older (mostly Sarah). I’m doing a funny comedy show on Friday night at the Anchorage Performing Arts Centre. Come see me. I’ll even comp you or at least a two-for. xoxo, Kathy Griffin.”
“You can’t do nicer than that,” Griffin said in a 2010 show, which came not long after Griffin had been poking fun at Bristol Palin about her weight.
However, Palin said there was never anything nice about Griffin.
“The liberal ‘star’ had attacked my teenage daughters for so long — first Bristol then, inexplicably, giddily announced she would ‘go directly after Willow Palin’ despite Willow’s young age and innocence in doing anything to earn the wrath of this attacker,” Palin wrote.
Palin then turned her wrath on the comedian.
“And today Kathy claims SHE is the victim! Kathy’s crocodile tears at her publicity-seeking press conference today mean nothing to mothers who’ve witnessed the ramifications her sick acts have had on precious children,” she posted.
“So, on behalf of Melania Trump and other mothers who’ve tried to protect our children from Kathy’s soulless vile attacks, I’ll bite my tongue in print and not say what I’d actually tell her to her face,” Palin wrote.
But there was something more to come.
“I’ll keep it civil and merely tell her after her ridiculous self-serving statements today: Suck it. Up. Cupcake,” Palin wrote.

Intro to Gov. Sarah Palin Writes To The Elijah List Family!
Edited by John R. Houk
December 21, 2015
Below is an email from the Elijah List of which I am a subscriber. Theologically I may not agree with everything the Elijah List stands for, yet I do agree with much. The Elijah List is a for profit Christian organization that is of the charismatic persuasion emphasizing the Prophetic Movement.
I realize a lot of Christians may have a problem with the Prophetic Movement but you really need to get over it if you are one those problematic Christians. The Elijah List believes in the basics of the Christian faith and that is good enough for me. Ergo, try and hold up on the ‘heresy’ comments that many will wish to share.
Publisher Steve Shultz has a little marketing intro to a Sarah Palin email for the Elijah List subscribers and that is what I am sharing with my blog readers.
I’ll be honest! I was super jazzed two years ago to learn that Governor Sarah Palin reads “The Elijah List” every day!
Back in 2013, we shared how she wrote:
“The Elijah List has been a blessing to my family in many ways…Often God gives encouragement through an article that seems to be written just for situations we face at a specific time…The Elijah List team is working so hard to provide a modern forum that strives to ‘strengthen, encourage, and comfort, the Body of Christ!” -Gov. Sarah Palin
Today, I’m happy to provide a “new article” that Gov. Palin has just sent me, written specifically for our Elijah List readers!
Also, one of Sarah Palin’s favorite pieces of art (pictured below on her mantle) is a picture of Jesus, “cracking up” laughing, that she ordered from THE ELIJAH LIST by artist Jennifer Page. She took a photo of it so Elijah List readers could see it.
We’ve made sure there are plenty of these available for you when you order today…so you can get one for yourself and a friend!
I LOVE THAT PICTURE OF JESUS LAUGHING!!
Please keep Sarah Palin in your prayers and be sure to forward this article to your family and friends!
Enjoy!

Gov. Sarah Palin Writes To The Elijah List Family!”
Sarah Palin, Wasilla, Alaska
Dear Elijah List Family,
I don’t necessarily like to be known as a “politician.” When the descriptive noun is applied to me in national interviews I jokingly plea that the reporter not use the “p-word” around me. However, it comes with the territory when one has held office and remains involved with a passion for political and cultural reform. Having been there, and willingly remaining in the lion’s den of politics, this politician can see clearly our nation is in a critical season of transition. For many, these are the most frightening days of their lives. Now more than ever our hope must be in the One True God. He is our only hope. He is our security. Not knowing what tomorrow holds, we must know who holds tomorrow.
Many in government and media try to convince us that God should not be in the political arena with us, invoking the concept of “separation of church and state.” Don’t be deceived into believing we can survive, much less thrive, without Him! Do you know where the phrase “separation of church and state” actually comes from? If you guessed the U.S. Constitution or our Declaration of Independence, you’d be wrong.
Thomas Jefferson referred to it in a letter to the Danbury Baptist Association, which had written him seeking help. Connecticut had established a state church – the Congregational Church, which meant the Baptists’ religious freedom was not an inherent right, but a favor granted by the state. Jefferson wrote to the Baptists that he shared their belief in religious freedom and that under the First Amendment was enshrined “a wall of separation” between the federal government and the churches; the government was not allowed to interfere with religion, guidance he expected the states would follow in perpetuity.
Today, it’s hip to invoke “separation of church and state” to insinuate or even demand that the Church have no influence on government and no role in politics. That is exactly wrong. In fact, Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptists closes with an invocation of God and prayer. (Photo Sweet Freedom: A Devotional – by Sarah Palin via elijahshopper.com)
Another great American founder, General George Washington, commanded the Continental Army under a flag featuring an evergreen tree and the words “An Appeal to Heaven.” Today, it is imperative that we continue in the tradition of our founders in appealing to Heaven for the survival of our country; not only our leaders, but as voters.
Every campaign season, voters face decisions based on many reports. It can be easy to feel fearful of the doom and gloom you hear from big dog media and popular pundits, but as Believers we can take comfort in knowing our God is bigger, stronger, wiser, and so much more merciful towards us than anything we hear in the news.
Use Caleb and Joshua as our example. They were men of faith, not fear. God directed Moses to send twelve spies to Canaan. Ten spies saw giants in the land and relayed fearful reports. They felt as small as grasshoppers and wanted to just hop away into oblivion. But Caleb and Joshua ignored the giants. With unrelenting trust, they went up at once and took possession, “for we are well able to overcome.” They knew they were more than conquerors through our mighty God!
Friends, Caleb and Joshua ‘r us! And it’s time to take possession! Our examples didn’t hesitate – we’ve hesitated long enough, America – we must “go up at once!” and stake claim of this land of the free. Ignore the media giants and consider how to help and whom God would have you support.
When I was chosen to run for Vice President of the United States, I prayed voters would see through the media haze to see who we, as candidates, really were. Maybe I didn’t pray hard enough! Today, many Goliaths are in our nation’s path. Just as He led Moses’ men to see clearly, He’ll give you the same confidence as you seek His direction, personally and politically. It’s imperative we support godly, competent leaders.
(Photo by Jennifer Page “His Joy” via elijahshopper.com)
Between 1933 and 1981, there was only one major presidential address that included the words “God bless America.” But when Ronald Reagan kicked off his presidency by invoking God’s blessing on our nation, he set a new standard. From his inauguration through President George W. Bush’s final term, the phrase was used forty-nine times, and President Obama continued the practice. Our Presidents call out to God. Great! But we need some reciprocity. Our purpose is not just to be blessed by God, but to bless Him.
Our Founders sought the Lord when embarking on this grand experiment called America, knowing they needed Him if they were to break away from tyranny and to secure freedom.
For God’s favor to remain, we must turn back to Him and not squander America’s blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Today, thank God for blessing us. Remember Psalm 33:12: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.”Pray every heart turns to Him. Take action! Invite God back into this nation – His nation. Rededicate America back to Him.
And have fun doing it. Really! Do not fear and don’t let your children fear. Remind them our Warrior King has the whole world in His hands and He wants us to be bold and joyful despite less than ideal circumstances.
Upon my fireplace hearth is a beautiful picture I ordered from the Elijah List. Artist Jennifer Page depicts the smiling Son of God as our happy Savior full of the vibrant life He freely offers us. In my living room, Jesus is cracking up! I want my family to look up and see He is the cup of overflowing laughter, carefree sweet freedom, and miraculous blessings we can drink from to nourish our homes and our nation if we’ll all look up and believe Nehemiah 8:10, “The joy of the Lord is your strength!”
Merry, merry Christmas brothers and sisters!
Sarah Palin Former Governor of Alaska and GOP Vice Presidential Nominee
Website: sarahpac.com
_________________________
Sarah Palin first made history on December 4, 2006, when she was sworn in as the first female and youngest governor of Alaska. In August 2008, Senator John McCain tapped Palin to serve as his vice-presidential running mate in his presidential campaign, making her the first woman to run on the Republican Party’s presidential ticket.
Palin is the author of The New York Times best-selling booksGoing Rogue: An American Life(November 2009), America by Heart (November 2010), and Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas (November 2013). She was named to TIME magazine’s 2010 “100 Most Influential People in the World” list, the Smithsonian Institute’s “100 Most Significant Americans of All Time” and Barbara Walter’s “Ten Most Fascinating People” list two years in a row. She was the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute’s 2012 “Woman of the Year”. She was also the host of the 8-week documentary series Sarah Palin’s Alaska on TLC and the show Amazing America on the Sportsman Channel.
An internationally sought speaker and conservative leader, Palin is an influential force in the national debate. Her endorsement and support from her political action committee, SarahPAC, remain the gold standard for conservative candidates every election cycle. She is married to Todd Palin, a lifelong Alaskan, who worked as a production operator on the North Slope and is a four-time champion of the Iron Dog, the world’s longest snow machine race. They have five children and two grandchildren. The Palins are commercial fishermen in Alaska’s Bristol Bay. They enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, road trips, running, kids’ sports, and everything in the Great Outdoors. (For a full bio click here.)
Sarah Palin’s Endorsement of The Elijah List: “The Elijah List has been a blessing to my family in many ways, including providing us opportunities to share encouragement through the words, articles and even breaking news that’s found on the website. Often, God gives encouragement through an article that seems to be written just for situations we face at a specific time… I am thankful for bold faith-filled individuals and teams – like the Elijah List team – working so hard to provide a modern forum that strives to “strengthen, encourage and comfort” the Body of Christ…”
I’m one of those guys that likes what Donald Trump says, yet at the same being very uncertain if he is the right guy to be the next President to reverse the curse of Obama on the United States of America. Currently I’m a Ted Cruz kind-of-guy. Let’s see how some Primaries and Caucuses turn out before we get committed to a particular candidate.
Saying all that, I like what Sarah Palin is saying about profiling Muslims for better security in the USA, which is something she has in agreement with Donald Trump.
Did you see what Governor Palin said? It has many on the left on the attack because they can’t handle the cold hard truth!
Herd mentality running rampant with hypocritical and/or naive pundits trying to crush Donald Trump because he’s committed to clobbering the bad guys, and putting the good guys first. Trump’s temporary ban proposal is in the context of doing all we can to force the Feds to acknowledge their lack of strategy to deal with terrorism.
I said it back in 2009 and got beat up by the Left but understood by the common sense Right, and I’ll say it again: if it saves innocent lives, “profile away!”
When information shows someone comes to America after being in a radical Islamic stronghold, and embraces the Death Cult’s ideology that mandates butchering the innocent – then we are right in calling for shucking the political correctness that is fundamentally transforming America, and finally putting the security of innocent Americans FIRST. Slow this down via Fed intervention (it’s the Federal Government’s first and foremost job – national security!) until and unless we have a plan in place to sufficiently vet, AND to utterly and completely destroy the terrorists. (Note to President: start with letting our United States Military, the greatest and most ethical military power on earth, do its job.)
Ignore the White House as it spews talking point rhetoric accusing Trump (thus suggesting all who question their wrongheadedness) of being “unamerican.” Yet it is their leader declaring his need to “fundamentally transform America” because he so wrongly sees our exceptional nation’s foundation as fatally flawed. Now THAT is unamerican.
Formed in January 2009, SarahPAC is a federally registered political action committee (PAC) dedicated to building America’s future by supporting fresh ideas and candidates who share our vision for reform and innovation.
SarahPAC believes America’s best days are ahead. Our country, founded on conservative principles and the fight for freedom, must confront the challenges of the 21st century with integrity, innovation, and determination.
SarahPAC believes energy independence is a cornerstone of the economic security and progress that every American family wants and deserves. We believe in American Exceptionalism, and that US foreign policy should, first and foremost, be based on the pursuit of our national interest, not the interests of others.
SarahPAC believes the Republican Party is at the threshold of a historic renaissance that will build a better future for all. Health care, education, and reform of government are among our key goals.
Recent Success
In the 2014 election cycle, SarahPAC had a better record than Hillary Clinton with nineteen general election victories. SarahPAC’s candidates contributed significantly to winning the new Republican Senate majority. Before she rose to national prominence, SarahPAC supported a little known Iowa hog farmer and veteran named Joni Ernst. Senator Tim Scott and Senator Cory Gardner were both supported by SarahPAC back in their original 2010 congressional races before recently moving to the upper chamber. Other major victorious SarahPAC candidates include- Dave Brat (VA), Ben Sasse (NE), Bill Cassidy (LA), Pat Roberts (KS), Dan Sullivan (AK) and Mia Love (UT).
SarahPAC looks to build off a victorious 2014 cycle and continue to help elect principled, conservative leaders. [Blog Editor: Oops – SarahPAC should update “2014 cycle” to 2016.]
On August 3, 2015 the Senate FAILED to get the 60 votes to defund Planned Parenthood. There were 53 yeas and 46 nays and one not present (Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) running for Prez. Of the 53 yeas ONLY two were Democrats – Senator Donnelly – IN and Senator Manchin – WV. On the 46 nays there was one Republican and one Independent: Senator McConnell – R-KY and Senator King – I-ME. McConnell’s nay vote is viewed as a strategic procedural vote that will enable a second run at the defund vote. The rules and politics behind the McConnell nay vote sounds silly to me, but if it works great.
YOU voters that have elected and supported any Senator – COUGH Democrats – that voted nay in effect keeping the butchers of Planned Parenthood in the business killing babies to make a buck out of surgically sliced body parts for research. WE ARE NOT talking of dead baby body tissue here, rather we are talking about DEAD BABY BODY PARTS.
Planned Parenthood is supposed to be a Non-Profit Organization that actually receives Federal funding to contribute to the health of women and children. I don’t have a problem if that is all Planned Parenthood did. HOWEVER, the reality is Planned Parenthood takes taxpayer money to kill babies for birth control purposes (not rape, incest, protecting life of a mother, an extremely physically challenged baby and so forth kind of logic) for the convenience of sexually active women and teenagers that want sex but not kids. See these articles to that points to Planned Parenthood deception that includes Left-thinking support such as from PolitiFact:
At this point this is what I’m going to do. I’m going to cross post an email from Sarah Palin that came via Sarah PAC and a GOP USA post which includes the fifth video exposé video of Planned Parenthood from the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). I will include the CMP detail text from the Youtube post exposing Planned Parenthood.
(In all honesty the Sarah PAC email is a fund raiser; nonetheless the facts used to tap your emotion strings are quite accurate.)
Here is how this atrocity began: the early 20th century’s “progressive movement” was caught up in a racist pseudo-science called eugenics. The core idea of eugenics was the use of birth control, abortion, and selective breeding to weed out the so-called “unfit” to create a “cleaner” human race. This horrifying idea actually inspired the Nazis in their evil determination to create a “master race,” a deranged obsession that led to the Holocaust.
One prominent leader of this racial cleansing eugenics movement was Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger. She boasted of her mission in abortion to reduce the numbers of minorities and immigrants in order to create a “cleaner,” i.e. whiter, race. She wanted to enable “the release and cultivation of the better racial elements” and “the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extirpation of defective stocks—those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization.” She was a white supremacist in her beliefs.
And she is heralded as a hero on the Left. Instead of rejecting Sanger and these hateful, racist ideals, Hillary Clinton expresses her admiration for her; President Obama asks God to “bless” Planned Parenthood. An op-ed in the New York Times calls for Sanger to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. Planned Parenthood has done its best to deceive and pretend their foundation is not unsavory, but they stand upon it. Their work strives to meet their founder’s goals.
Knowing Sanger’s racist beliefs, why is anyone surprised that Planned Parenthood placed 80% of its abortion clinics in minority neighborhoods? I posted a simple graphic on my Facebook page showing the Confederate flag on one side and the Planned Parenthood logo on the other, with the question: “Which symbol killed 90,000 black babies last year?”
Our nation commits to turning the page on a tragic chapter of racism by expressing #BlackLivesMatter, so why are our tax dollars subsidizing an organization founded on racism?
America, enough is enough! Planned Parenthood receives over half a billion of our tax dollars every year. Why should they have ever received one penny? They neither need nor deserve your hard earned money that was redistributed to this ghastly organization by condoning politicians holding the purse strings.
With an Alaskan Heart,
Gov. Sarah Palin

Planned Parenthood Video #5: Are ‘intact fetal cadavers’ born alive?
The Center for Medical Progress has released another undercover video from Planned Parenthood. This time it raises a serious question about the unborn babies and the “altered” process employed to ensure their still developing bodies are obtained intact.
Thus far, CMP has released five secretly taped interviews with Planned Parenthood officials that reveal possible illegal activity in obtaining and selling aborted baby body parts. Video #5 – labeled as having been recorded in early April 2015 – focuses on Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast in Houston with Melissa Farrell, director of research, commenting on the bottom line: money.
“If we alter a process and we are able to obtain intact fetal cadavers, then we can make it part of the budget that any dissections are this and splitting the specimens into different shipments is this,” the video has Farrell saying. “I mean, it’s all just a matter of line items.”
In addition, altering the process to get intact babies appears to violate federal law.
CAUTION: This video contains graphic images that some people may find offensive.
#PPSellsBabyParts “INTACT FETAL CADAVERS” AT 20-WEEKS “JUST A MATTER OF LINE ITEMS” AT PLANNED PARENTHOOD TX MEGA-CENTER: ABORTION DOCS CAN “MAKE IT HAPPEN”
Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast Director of Research Says Department Contributes Significantly to Bottom Line, Has History of Selling Aborted Fetal Tissue, Suggests “Splitting the Specimens into Different Shipments” to Hide Profit in 5th Undercover Video
Contact: David Daleiden, media@centerformedicalprogress.org, 949.734.0859
HOUSTON, Aug. 4–The fifth undercover video in the controversy over Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted baby parts shows the Director of Research for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, Melissa Farrell, advertising the Texas Planned Parenthood branch’s track record of fetal tissue sales, including its ability to deliver fully intact fetuses.
In the video, actors posing as representatives from a human biologics company meet with Farrell at the abortion-clinic headquarters of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast in Houston to discuss a potential partnership to harvest fetal organs.
“Where we probably have an edge over other organizations, our organization has been doing research for many many years,” explains Farrell. When researchers need a specific part from the aborted fetus, Farrell says, “We bake that into our contract, and our protocol, that we follow this, so we deviate from our standard in order to do that.”
Asked specifically if this means Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast can change abortion procedures to supply intact fetal specimens, Farrell affirms, “Some of our doctors in the past have projects and they’re collecting the specimens, so they do it in a way that they get the best specimens, so I know it can happen.”
The investigators ask Farrell how she will frame a contract in which they pay a higher price for higher quality fetal body parts, and she replies, “We can work it out in the context of–obviously, the procedure itself is more complicated,” suggesting that “without having you cover the procedural cost” and paying for the abortion, the higher specimen price could be framed as “additional time, cost, administrative burden.”
Farrell finally summarizes her affiliate’s approach to fetal tissue payments: “If we alter our process, and we are able to obtain intact fetal cadavers, we can make it part of the budget that any dissections are this, and splitting the specimens into different shipments is this. It’s all just a matter of line items.”
The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2). Federal law also requires that no alteration in the timing or method of abortion be done for the purposes of fetal tissue collection (42 U.S.C. 289g-1).
Farrell also indicates to the investigators over lunch that the specimen sales from her department contribute significantly to Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast’s overall finances: “I think everyone realizes, especially because my department contributes so much to the bottom line of our organization here, you know we’re one of the largest affiliates, our Research Department is the largest in the United States. Larger than any the other affiliates’ combined.” In a Texas Senate hearing on July 29, former Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast clinic director Abby Johnson estimated that the affiliate had previously made up to $120,000 per month off of aborted fetal tissue.
The video is the fifth by The Center for Medical Progress documenting Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted fetal parts. Project Lead David Daleiden notes: “This is now the fifth member of Planned Parenthood leadership discussing payments for aborted baby parts without any connection to actual costs of so-called tissue ‘donation.’ Planned Parenthood’s system-wide conspiracy to evade the law and make money off of aborted fetal tissue is now undeniable.” Daleiden continues, “Anyone who watches these videos knows that Planned Parenthood is engaged in barbaric practices and human rights abuses that must end. There is no reason for an organization that uses illegal abortion methods to sell baby parts and commit such atrocities against humanity to still receive over $500 million each year from taxpayers.”
“It shows the procurement lab where the abortionists are dissecting a baby over 20 weeks old and picking it apart and talking about these organs from a child in such a cavalier way [that] I think it just repulses even the most casual viewer,” he states.
Newman also notes that if the procedure to deliver an intact baby is altered to dissect for parts in the second trimester of pregnancy, a question arises as to whether the baby is born alive – and if so, whether abortionists kill the baby or allow the baby to be set aside and die unattended.
The Associated Pressreports that Texas Governor Greg Abbott describes this latest video as “repulsive and unconscionable” – and that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is leading a state investigation of Planned Parenthood prompted by the previous videos, calls this latest installment “simply appalling.”

Sarah Palin has posted a simple photo on her Facebook page that has a powerful message for Democrats, Lefts, Baby-Killers and BLT activists. The photo has side-by-side a Confederate Flag and the logo of Planned Parenthood. The caption on the photo: “WHICH SYMBOL KILLED 90,000 Black Babies Last Year”.
The Confederate Flag deserves to be controversial. On one hand it is the vestige symbol of African-American slavery to White masters. On the other hand the Confederate Flag is a symbol of southern American culture that in all honesty was more than the horrors of man owning other men and women as property on par with livestock.
Here is an excerpt from an American southerner that ennobles Southern Culture in the Antebellum days:
We specify the Southern Gentleman and Southern Lady as opposed to the simple terms of “gentleman” or “lady”. There is a difference. The word “gentleman” is also used for the English tradition of the gentleman. That is largely determined by birth and the English nobility structure. The Southern Gentleman, on the other hand, has no formal connection to the family one was born into other than the fact that the characteristics of a Southern Gentleman are usually passed down from one generation to the next in families that value those characteristics. One can overcome the place and circumstances of his birth and be a Southern Gentleman by making the decision to follow that path. The “Southern” in Southern Gentleman also refers to the warmth and traditions of Southern culture.
… Like true nobility, being a Southern Gentleman is determined by actions – not by birth.
Daniel Lawrence Slusser writes of the mythic sense of Southern honor and the sense of superiority of the Southern Gentlemen:
The Southern Code was not a written law, but an unspoken tradition that prescribed proper behavior and specific punishment for those who deviated from the “proper” course. It covered nearly every aspect of a Southern gentleman’s life, including: how a gentleman should speak to a woman, the proper relationship between a white man and his slave, the proper mode of dueling with other gentlemen, and the appropriate means of punishment for slander.9 Yet, the Code’s prescribed punishments were not meant to apply solely to the uncouth brigands in the North. In the Southern gentleman’s mind they were applicable to any dispute between men in the North or the South. …
…
The decades preceding the Civil War saw the emergence of a new type of gentleman known as the Southern cavalier. These cavaliers were a kind of puffed up Southern gentleman playboy that viewed himself as a valiant knight of royal white descent who claimed the right to demand reverence. …
…
… It was administered in a manner that was endorsed by the “Southern Code”; a code that existed for the purpose of defining and protecting honor. The fixation of the Southern gentry on this perceived need for honor motivated a violent response to the negative judgments cast by Northerners. Ultimately, this tendency to violent defense of honor helped to precipitate the Civil War and made the idea of entering into such a war more palatable to Southerners. It may have made some of them even relish it.31 Later, during the course of the Civil War, Southern General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson expressed this Southern morbid honor sentiment at Harpers Ferry: “What is life without honor? Degradation is worse than death.”32 (IN DEFENSE OF SOUTHERN HONOR: PRESTON BROOKS AND THE ATTACK ON CHARLES SUMNER; By Daniel Lawrence Slusser; Digital Commons; 2010)
AND YET this same Southern Culture was one of the last bastions of slavery in the Western World (Brazil being the last North/South American nation to abolish slavery in 1888). A culture that treated human beings as chattel to be worked to the whims of a slave owner’s benevolence or brutality. AND even if benevolence was the rule the rule of law enforced among the Southern Slave States were brutal and harsh as only a slave culture can be to exist. Here is an excerpt from Boundless.com that portrays the worst case scenario for Americans:
General Elements in Slave Treatment
The treatment of slaves in the United States varied widely depending on conditions, times and places. Treatment was generally characterized by brutality, degradation, and inhumanity. Whippings, executions, and rapes were commonplace. Exceptions, however, did exist to virtually every generalization, for instance, there were slaves who employed white workers, slave doctors who treated upper-class white patients, and slaves who rented-out their labor. These are not, however, the common rule.
Slaves were generally denied the opportunity to learn to read or write, in order to ensure that they did not form aspirations that could lead to escape or rebellion. Medical care to slaves was generally provided by other slaves or by slaveholders’ family members. Many slaves possessed medical skills needed to tend to each other, and used many folk remedies brought from Africa. After such well-known rebellions as that by Nat Turner, in 1831, some states prohibited slaves from holding religious gatherings, as slaveholders feared such meetings would facilitate communication and might lead to rebellion.
Sexual Abuses
Slavery in the United States included frequent rape and sexual abuse of slave women. Many slaves fought back against sexual attacks, and many died resisting. Others carried psychological and physical scars from the attacks. Sexual abuse of slaves was partially rooted in a patriarchal Southern culture which … READ ENTIRETY(Treatment of Slaves in the U.S.; Boundless.com; 7/21/15)
And here is a less pathological picture of slavery but still not a life a free person encompassed with Constitutional Rights:
It is a mistake to think that slave labor was mostly unskilled brutish work. Cultivation of cotton, tobacco, rice, and sugar requires careful, painstaking effort. On larger plantations, masters relied on slave carpenters, bricklayers, blacksmiths, wheelwrights, tanners, tailors, butchers, masons, coopers, cabinet makers, metal workers, and silversmiths. Large numbers also worked as boatmen, waiters, cooks, drivers, housemaids, spinners, and weavers.
During the 1850s, half a million slaves lived in southern towns and cities, where they worked in textile mills, iron works, tobacco factories, laundries, and shipyards. Other slaves labored as lumberjacks, as deckhands on riverboats, and in sawmills, gristmills, and quarries. Many slaves were engaged in construction of roads and railroads.
Most slave labor, however, was used in planting, cultivating, and harvesting cotton, hemp, rice, tobacco, or sugar cane. On a typical plantation, slaves worked ten or more hours a day, “from day clean to first dark,” six days a week, with only the Sabbath off. At planting or harvesting time, planters required slaves to stay in the fields 15 or 16 hours a day. When they were not raising a cash crop, slaves grew other crops, such as corn or potatoes; cared for livestock; and cleared fields, cut wood, repaired buildings and fences. On cotton, sugar, and tobacco plantations, slaves worked together in gangs under the supervision of a supervisor or a driver.
There is a tendency to think of slavery as an economically backward and inefficient institution. In fact, sugar and cotton plantations were the most innovative economic unit of their time in terms of labor management and organization. They anticipated the assembly line and the factory system in their reliance on such as close supervision and division of tasks.
Slave masters extracted labor from virtually the entire slave community, young, old, healthy, and physically impaired. Children as young as three or four were put to work, usually in special “trash gangs” weeding fields, carrying drinking water, picking up trash, and helping in the kitchen. Young children also fed chickens and livestock, gathered wood chips for fuel, and drove cows to pasture. Between the ages of seven and twelve, boys and girls were put to work in intensive field work. Older or physically handicapped slaves were put to work in cloth houses, spinning cotton, weaving cloth, and making clothes.
Because slaves had no direct incentive to work hard, slaveowners combined harsh penalties with positive incentives. Some masters denied passes to disobedient slaves. Others confined recalcitrant slaves to private jails. Chains and shackles were widely used to control runaways. Whipping was a key part of plantation discipline.
Thus the Confederate Flag is certain to inspire reactions that could lead to some human conflict.
Then enters Sarah Palin’s contrasting photo that should lead an intelligent person to comprehend that no matter the rights and wrongs of Antebellum society, the abortions voluntarily embarked upon simply as birth control has cost more human lives than African-Americans experienced as slaves than the human souls extinguished in the name of birth control. Palin pointed points out those murdered babies numbered 90,000 African-American babies in 2014 alone.
Forget all the arguments that abortions performed due rape, incest, birth defects or saving the life of the mother are necessary. I have some personal feelings on those issues; nonetheless the humongous amount of abortions occur as an activity of birth control after sex between a consenting male and a consenting female. There is no other way to define such abortion as the murder of a human soul that has not been born.
ALSO the feminist/Leftist argument that a woman has rights over her own body is completely ludicrous. A human soul inside a woman’s body is kept alive by the woman but is absolutely separate from her body. HENCE terminating an unborn baby inside a woman’s body is essentially murder. No matter how many times one tries to call an unborn baby a fetus as if it is the same as an
appendix, it simply is not true. That organ medicine calls a fetus is a human soul. Terminating the human soul is murder. Since SCOTUS legislated from the bench in Roe v. Wade forcing legalized abortion there have been “57,762,169 Abortions in America Since Roe vs. Wade in 1973”. Just so I know you read that number, since 1973 nearly FIFTY-EIGHT MILLION babies have been murdered by doctors primarily as birth control between consensual sexually active males and females.
The Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) was founded in 1942. It grew out of the American Birth Control League, which was established in 1923 by the radical social activist Margaret Sanger …
Today, PPFA is the largest abortion provider in the United States, with some 850 clinics around the country (down from a peak of 938 in 1995). …
…
PPFA opposes any limitations on access to abortion, including the procedure commonly known as partial-birth abortion, and also opposes mandatory parental notification for minors wishing to undergo the procedure. Approximately one-third of PPFA’s clients are girls younger than 18 who live with one or both parents. Some 97 percent of these girls qualify for federal assistance to reimburse a provider of social services. This is because PPFA teaches its affiliates how to exploit federal “family planning” programs by qualifying as many clients as possible for federal subsidies of pregnancy tests, contraceptives, and abortions covered by Medicaid.
If you have listened to the news in the last week or so you are aware Planned Parenthood – America’s baby killing machine – has been caught callously talking about aborted murdered baby parts to sell for research:
A shocking video released by a pro-life activist group Tuesday shows a top Planned Parenthood executive on a hidden camera bragging about how the abortion provider’s doctors perform the procedure so skillfully that infant body parts can be salvaged for sale.
The video, shot by investigators for LifeNews, was shot in 2014. It wasn’t clear why it wasn’t released until now.
On it, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Planned Parenthood Federation senior director of medical services, is with actors who are posing as buyers interested in purchasing infant body parts. She literally brags about how she aborts babies in such a way that she can harvest their parts.
“We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part,” Nucatola said on the video. “I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.
“I’d say a lot of people want liver,” Nucatola added. “And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps.”
According to the video, besides being repugnant, the practice is also illegal.
U.S. federal law states that, “It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human fetal tissue for valuable consideration if the transfer affects interstate commerce.”
In one of the most disturbing parts of the video, Nucatola admitted she didn’t always know what the body parts were going to be used for.
“Some people want lower extremities too, which, that’s simple. I mean that’s easy. I don’t know what they’re doing with it, I guess they want muscle,” she said while casually eating a salad.

#PPSellsBabyParts EX-CLINIC WORKER REVEALS PROFIT MOTIVE IN PLANNED PARENTHOOD BABY PARTS SALES, VP MEDICAL DIRECTOR PRICES BODY PARTS “PER ITEM”
“We Can See How Much We Can Get Out of It,” says Planned Parenthood Affiliate VP; Whistleblower Who Harvested Aborted Baby Parts Details Traumatic Job in Planned Parenthood Clinics in New Documentary Web Series
Contact: Peter Robbio, probbio@crcpublicrelations.com, 703.683.5004
LOS ANGELES, July 28–The first episode in a new documentary web series features a woman who once worked in Planned Parenthood clinics describing the profit motive involved in Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted fetal body parts, and includes new admissions from top-level Planned Parenthood leadership about the illicit pricing structure.
The “Human Capital” documentary web series is produced by The Center for Medical Progress and integrates expert interviews, eyewitness accounts, and real-life undercover interactions to tell the story of Planned Parenthood’s commercial exploitation of aborted fetal tissue. Episode 1, “Planned Parenthood’s Black Market in Baby Parts,” launches today at:
Episode 1 introduces Holly O’Donnell, a licensed phlebotomist who unsuspectingly took a job as a “procurement technician” at the fetal tissue company and biotech start-up StemExpress in late 2012. “I thought I was going to be just drawing blood, not procuring tissue from aborted fetuses,” says O’Donnell, who fainted in shock on her first day of work in a Planned Parenthood clinic when suddenly asked to dissect a freshly-aborted fetus during her on-the-job training.
For 6 months, O’Donnell’s job was to identify pregnant women at Planned Parenthood who met criteria for fetal tissue orders and to harvest the fetal body parts after their abortions. O’Donnell describes the financial benefit Planned Parenthood received from StemExpress: “For whatever we could procure, they would get a certain percentage. The main nurse was always trying to make sure we got our specimens. No one else really cared, but the main nurse did because she knew that Planned Parenthood was getting compensated.”
Episode 1 also shows undercover video featuring the Vice President and Medical Director of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) in Denver, CO, Dr. Savita Ginde. PPRM is one of the largest and wealthiest Planned Parenthood affiliates and operates clinics in Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Nevada. Standing in the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic pathology laboratory, where fetuses are brought after abortions, Ginde concludes that payment per organ removed from a fetus will be the most beneficial to Planned Parenthood: “I think a per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it.”
The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2).
Dr. Katherine Sheehan, Medical Director emerita of Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest in San Diego, describes her affiliate’s long-time relationship with Advanced Bioscience Resources, a middleman company that has been providing aborted fetal organs since 1989: “We’ve been using them for over 10 years, really a long time, you know, just kind of renegotiated the contract. They’re doing the big government-level collections and things like that.”
“Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted baby parts is an offensive and horrifying reality that is widespread enough for many people to be available to give first-person testimony about it,” notes David Daleiden, Project Lead for The Center for Medical Progress. “CMP’s investigative journalism work will continue to surface more compelling eyewitness accounts and primary source evidence of Planned Parenthood’s trafficking and selling baby parts for profit. There should be an immediate moratorium on Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding while Congress and the states determine the full extent of the organization’s lawbreaking.”

#PPSellsBabyParts SECOND PLANNED PARENTHOOD SENIOR EXECUTIVE HAGGLES OVER BABY PARTS PRICES, CHANGES ABORTION METHODS
President of PPFA Medical Directors’ Council Mary Gatter Doesn’t Want to “Lowball” Price, Suggests “Less Crunchy” Technique, Says She Wants a Lamborghini
Contact: Peter Robbio, probbio@crcpublicrelations.com, 703.683.5004
LOS ANGELES, July 21—A second undercover video shows Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Medical Directors’ Council President, Dr. Mary Gatter, haggling over payments for intact fetal specimens and offering to use a “less crunchy technique” to get more intact body parts.
It is similar to last week’s viral video showing PPFA Senior Director of Medical Services Dr. Deborah Nucatola admitting to using partial-birth abortions to get intact parts and suggesting a price range of $30 to $100 per specimen.
Gatter is a senior official within Planned Parenthood and is President of the Medical Directors’ Council, the central committee of all Planned Parenthood affiliate medical directors.
Actors posing as buyers ask Gatter, “What would you expect for intact [fetal] tissue?”
“Well, why don’t you start by telling me what you’re used to paying!” Gatter replies.
Gatter continues: “You know, in negotiations whoever throws out … READ THE REST at Youtube post
Planned Parenthood is an organization that has a transformist agenda and ideology that I am certain brings a twinkle of glee to President Barack Hussein Obama. That transformist agenda/ideology was planted by Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger. Here are some DTN excerpts that shows Sanger more as an Anti-American rather than a righteous women’s rights activist:
· Founder of Planned Parenthood
· Marxist
· Feminist
· Opened America’s first birth-control clinic in 1916
In 1912 Sanger and her family settled in New York City. She became a member of both the Women’s Committee and the Marxist Committee of the New York Socialist Party. “Our living-room,” she would write in her 1938 autobiography, “became a gathering place where liberals, anarchists, Socialists and I.W.W.’s [Industrial Workers of the World members] could meet.”
…
After separating from her husband in 1913, Sanger began writing an eight-page monthly feminist-socialist newsletter called The Woman Rebel, which often promoted contraceptive use and sex education. Using the slogan “No Gods and No Masters,” The Woman Rebel was distributed through the mail, and once again Sanger came under fire for violation of the Comstock Law. In 1914 she was indicted on criminal charges but promptly fled to England.
…
Sanger’s reasons for advocating birth control stemmed, in part, from her views on race and heredity. She was a devoted eugenicist who advocated forced sterilization — of the poor and the mentally deficient, in particular, who she believed were likely to produce “subnormal” offspring — for the purpose of improving society’s overall gene pool. Examples of her ideas on selective breeding are found throughout her columns and newsletters. For instance, she wrote:
“It is a vicious cycle; ignorance breeds poverty and poverty breeds ignorance. There is only one cure for both, and that is to stop breeding these things. Stop bringing to birth children whose inheritance cannot be one of health or intelligence. Stop bringing into the world children whose parents cannot provide for them. Herein lies the key of civilization. For upon the foundation of an enlightened and voluntary motherhood shall a future civilization emerge.”
“The undeniably feeble-minded should, indeed, not only be discouraged but prevented from propagating their kind,” Sanger elaborated.
…
At a March 1925 international birth-control event in New York City, Sanger advocated — for the “salvation of American civilization” — the sterilization of those “unfit” to procreate. In addition, she condemned the “irresponsible and reckless” rates of procreation among those “whose religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers.” She was referring specifically to Catholics who rejected the use of contraception. “There is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people,” she added, “that the procreation of this group should be stopped.”
In her quest to engineer a civilization devoid of “subnormal children,” Sanger often worked jointly with groups and individuals whose goals vis a vis eugenics overlapped with her own, even if their larger agendas differed from hers. In 1926, for instance, she presented a lecture on birth control to the women’s auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan in Silver Lake, New Jersey. In September 1930 she invited Nazi anthropologist Eugen Fischer (whose ideas were cited by the Nazis to legitimize the extermination of Jews) to meet with her at her home.
Sanger’s commitment to eugenic “sexual science” dovetailed seamlessly with her Marxist vision. While she had been heartened by the success of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, she doubted that a revolution for a new communist order in the U.S. could be carried out by a proletariat class of limited intellectual capacity. … Sanger wrote in The Pivot of Civilization, “my purpose is not to depreciate the efforts of Socialists aiming to create a new society, … unless sexual science is incorporated … and the pivotal importance of birth control is recognized in any program of reconstruction, all efforts to create a new world and a new civilization are foredoomed to failure.”
…
… Sanger turned her attention specifically to the reproductive practices of black Americans. She selected former ABCL director Clarence J. Gamble (of the Procter and Gamble company) to become BCFA’s southern regional director. That November, Gamble drew up a memorandum titled “Suggestion for Negro Project,” whose ultimate aim was to decrease the black birth rate significantly. Anticipating that black leaders would be suspicious of anyone exhorting African Americans to have fewer children, Gamble suggested that BCFA place black leaders in high positions within the organization, so as to give the appearance that they were in charge of the group’s agendas. BCFA presented birth control as a vehicle for the upward economic mobility of blacks.

Margaret Sanger was a Marxist-Nazi Admiring racist determined to bring a New World Order devoid of the U.S. Constitution Bill of Rights. So which issue is more heinous? A Confederate Flag representing a long gone culture or Planned Parenthood still nefariously killing babies for bucks.
Nothing makes heads explode on the left faster than flinging their own banned images in their face, and Sarah Palin has scored a direct hit.
Palin’s recent Facebook post featuring an image of the Confederate battle flag side by side with Planned Parenthood’s logo poses the question: “which symbol killed 90,000 black babies last year?”
The post has garnered over 120,000 “likes” since Sunday.
Since the pro-life group Center for Medical Progress released its first undercover video on July 14, which shows one of its executives, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, negotiating the price of aborted babies’ body parts with investigators posing as buyers, Palin has nearly exclusively devoted her Facebook page — with 4.4 million followers — to taking down the abortion provider.
Posts using the hashtag #defundplannedparenthood feature statistics such as CEO Cecile Richards is paid $1.50 for each abortion performed (her annual salary is $500,000), and that 80 percent of Planned Parenthood’s clinics are in minority neighborhoods.
As of Tuesday, Sunday’s post has generated over 5,000 comments, many of them personal attacks on the pro-life movement. When liberals post “Lol Sarah’s just salty because she is an aborted fetus all grown up” and “Sarah Palin is dumber than a ten pound sack of stupid,” it’s a good indication that a nerve has been struck.
Watching the left twist itself into pretzels defending the killing of unborn innocents while digging up the grave of long-dead Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest because of the rebel flag would be amusing it if were not so outrageously ghoulish — and painfully sad.
As much as Leftists, Mainstream Media, Establishment Republicans and even some relevant Conservatives want nothing to do with Sarah Palin, on a personal level I believe she is Presidential material. Her detractors insult her intelligence. Let me tell you something President Ronald Reagan endured the very same insults toward his intelligence. AND after never giving up on races for President, he eventually won two conservative terms as President of the United States of America. President Reagan (although Leftists hate it) has already gone down as one of the best Presidents in American history. Get over Palin’s detractors and realize this gal is a charismatic leader with a lot of electoral influence.
I didn’t hear much praise from Conservative circles on Palin’s CPAC 2015 speech. Thanks to Stephanie Hahn Nolan and her post to the Facebook group Sarah Palin’s EARTHQUAKE 2016 I found a summary and a Youtube video of her entire speech. The speech is highly critical of President Barack Hussein Obama’s handling of global Islamic Terrorism. She could have also included BHO’s idiocy in making an Iran deal allowing nuclear arms which definitely leads to an existential threat to Israel. (One reason Obama hated head of government Prime Minister Netanyahu giving a bicameral speech to Congress which undoubtedly exposes that Foreign Policy idiocy.)
Sarah Palin said in a speech before Republican activists that there is a solution to the problem with ISIS. We just should kill them all “like Nazis.”
(Newswire.net — February 27, 2015) — Former GOP VP nominee Sarah Palin blamed the Obama administration for the rise of ISIS in the Middle East. In an emotional speech about American war veterans, the former Alaska governor seized the opportunity to critique Obama’s administration.
In the speech in National Harbor, Maryland, Palin accused Obama of failing to destroy Islamic State militants and for the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq, because he pulled American troops out of the country.
“The rise of ISIS is the direct result of this administration’s refusal to heed that warning,” Palin said. “The Middle East is a tinderbox and it’s coming apart at the seams…as ISIS expands, it takes back land we just spilled blood to secure.
Palin blamed Obama for the casualties that died in vain in Iraq and in the Afghanistan because the situation in the Middle East is now worse than ever.
“Did we actually win in Iraq and Afghanistan before we waved that white flag? The jury is still out. But when evil Islamic terrorists are on the march screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ from Syria to Iraq to Libya and Yemen and the streets of Paris, well it doesn’t look like victory,” she added.
Palin criticized Obama’s conciliatory comments calling on him not to equate Islam with terrorism.
“Lecturing Christians to get off our high horse about radical Islam won’t stop the Islamists from killing Christians,” Palin said. “Stop blaming the victim and wake up, Mr. President. While Christians bow their heads to pray for you, radical Islamists want to cut off your head,” she said in a speech.
Referring to recent comments by State Department representative Marie Harf, who said that the US could not beat Islamists simply by killing them, Palin took completely opposite stand.
“They say we can’t kill our way out of war,” Palin said. “Really? Tell that to the Nazis. Oh wait, you can’t because they’re dead. We killed them,” she said.
In spite of critics on both the Left and the Right, Sarah Palin is doubling down with speeches demanding Congress impeach President Barack Hussein Obama. Palin delivered her fiery speech to impeach Obama at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver on July 19.
Below is a shortened video of the speech. I am following with a B. Christopher Agee short article high lighting the speech from Western Journalism. Then for those who are interested, I am following the Agee article with Sarah Palin’s full 36 and half minute speech. And yes I still agree with Sarah Palin.
This afternoon, at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver, CO, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin doubled-down on her call to impeach President Obama. She explains her stance and lists several offenses for which Obama could be impeached. Governor Palin initially called for the impeachment of President Obama in an article published on July 8, 2014 on Breitbart.com found here: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Governme…
Conservative firebrand Sarah Palin tackled Barack Obama’s perceived dereliction of duty during a weekend speech, going so far as to double down on her prior claim that he should be impeached.
“These days you hear all of these politicians denouncing Barack Obama,” she said at the Western Conservative Summit, “’Oh, he’s a lawless, imperial president and he ignores court orders and changes laws by fiat and refuses to enforced laws that he just doesn’t like.’”
Palin complained, however, that the outrage generally ends at the rhetorical phase.
“That’s true,” she said of the common criticisms; “but the question is hey, politicians, what are you gonna do about it?”
She suggested “calling their bluff,” noting that decisive action is the only way to deliver a clear message.
“There’s only one remedy for a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors,” she said, “and it’s impeachment.”
The former Alaska governor went on to note that America’s founders viewed ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ as “the abuse or violation of some public trust.”
She said an impeachable offense, according to Alexander Hamilton, consists of “injuries done immediately to the society itself.”
According to Palin, a number of scandals that have rocked the administration thus far fit that bill. Primarily, however, she noted that the immigration crisis should qualify as grounds for impeachment.
“Alone,” she concluded, “not defending borders is dereliction of duty, violating the oath of office. If that’s not impeachable, nothing is. And if he’s not impeachable, no one is.”

Yesterday I posted about and whole heartedly agreed with Sarah Palin’s July 8 Breitbart Op-Ed column calling for President Barack Hussein Obama’s impeachment. Today I learned Palin stood by her Op-Ed by appearing on Hannity defending her impeachment call against Obama.
July 8, 2014 – (Fox News) – Sean Hannity Interviews Sarah Palin – Time to Impeach Obama Now! —— Sarah Palin joined Sean Hannity tonight to explain why she’s now calling for President Obama’s impeachment; namely, she’s tired of the president’s lawlessness and use of executive power, and the Republicans can’t just “bring a lawsuit to a gunfight,” they need to “halt an imperial presidency.”
Palin argued that Obama is becoming an imperial president who’s “lying to the American people” that needs to be reined in. She dismissed the idea this would be a losing issue for Republicans and, in fact, argued that the impeachment of the president is a bipartisan issue that plenty of Democrats should be able to find agreement with.
Hannity wondered if the GOP would seriously take this up. Palin said if they don’t have the “cojones,” they should, and declared that any person who cares about the safety and security of the nation needs to get behind filing articles of impeachment because “enough is enough.”
7-9-14 – (John Boehner on IMPEACH OBAMA Stance by Republicans and Sarah Palin) – Yesterday, when a reporter asked Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) if he agrees with Sarah Palin’s call to impeach President Barack Obama, he politely responded, “I always respect other people’s opinions,” before saying he has no plans to make such a proposal. When House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) was asked the same question at his press conference this morning, his response was a bit more terse to say the least. He appeared to lose interest in the question as it was being asked, saying curtly, “I disagree,” while scanning the assembled press to see who he could call on next.
When the reporter continued to ask about House Republicans who also think Obama should be impeached, his expression grew more stern and he repeated, “I disagree.”
Last month, when Boehner confirmed his plans to sue President Obama over his use of executive actions, the speaker insisted, “This is not about impeachment, this is about his faithfully executing the laws of our country.”
Boehner’s flippant answer in a disdainful manner is at least one of the reasons Tea Party Conservatives desire him to be replaced as the lead Republican making him Speaker of the House. It is also a classic example of Republicans labeled RINOs and of Conservative Republicans more concerned about political position than moving the USA back to the very Conservative principles enumerated in the Republican Party Platform (2012). I suspect when Palin was referring to a Party Platform it was to point two – We The People: A Restoration of Constitutional Government. Here are the subsections of this platform point:
Now I can understand why President Closet-Communist thumbs his nose at these platform headings, BUT I cannot accept that the current most powerful person in the Republican Party does not think Obama has flagrantly abused these Constitutional stands. When Speaker Boehner proclaims publically at a press conference, “I disagree,” he also thumbing his nose at the GOP Party Platform. I have to wonder – does this mean Boehner intends to abandon Conservative principles in supporting the Original Intent of the U.S. Constitution?
Boehner is only the tip of the iceberg of Republicans lacking cojones to act on what needs to be done to protect this nation from Obama’s agenda of transforming America from the Founding Father’s constitutional vision to a top-down Leftist utopian government. The writer that goes by the pseudonym AllahPundit at Hot Air brings up some great observations about Republicans that are bona fide Conservatives yet play politics above the needs of WE THE PEOPLE:
… He [Boehner] wants to do something bold to show conservatives that he’s resisting Obama’s power grabs, but not so bold that it’ll blow up in the GOP’s face in November. The lawsuit is the perfect gesture. It gives him an excuse to rail against executive overreach publicly while booting the disposition of the matter to the courts. If they rule against him, it’s the judiciary’s fault, not his. And if it takes a year or more for the case to wend its way up to the Supreme Court, even better. It’s off his plate, which is what’s important. (Said Palin to Hannity last night, “You don’t bring a lawsuit to a gunfight, and there’s no room for lawyers on our front lines.”) For him to turn around and agree with Palin on impeachmentafter all that would be bizarre. Why pursue a circuitous legal route to rein in Obama if he’s prepared to try to remove him from office entirely?
It’s not just Boehner who’s running away from impeachment either. In purple-state Iowa, GOP Senate nominee Joni Ernst — who’s been endorsed by Palin — carefully explained to Yahoo News yesterday that she didn’t really say she wanted to impeach Obama the last time she said she wanted to impeach Obama.
Republican Iowa U.S. Senate candidate Joni Ernst attempted Tuesday night to walk back statements made at a January event in which she said President Barack Obama had “become a dictator” who should be “removed from office” or face “impeachment.”…
“To be clear, I have not seen any evidence that the President should be impeached,” the statement …
… Could Boehner’s impeachment-avoidance strategy end up backfiring if he loses his lawsuit? Imagine a federal judge rules that the House’s dispute with O over executive power is a political question that should either be decided by the people at the polls or by the people’s representatives through their Article I powers — which, of course, includes impeachment. The courts will have essentially punted this issue back to Boehner and told him, a la Erick Erickson, to man up and accept the political risk of trying to remove the president if he’s allegedly so troubled by executive overreach. What’s Boehner’s move then? Use the power of the purse to choke off funding for Obama’s priorities and quietly ignore impeachment altogether, right?
This indicates that among RINOs and Conservatives in the Republican Party, their power structure has become political rather than considering their constituents or this American Republic designed to accommodate the American people in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Hannity had asked Palin toward the end of his interview if Palin was considering leaving the GOP. She answered carefully and semi-cryptically to the effect she had no intention to leave the Republican Party but if the Party leaves her what choice would she have. Since the Republican debacle of Election 2012 I have sensed the Republican Party has left true Conservatives. What choice should we make?
I am a huge supporter of the politics of Sarah Palin. Indeed, I might be one of the few Conservatives that wishes she would run for President in 2016. If she was able to run her own campaign without McCain or GOP Establishment restraints I believe she would BOLDLY eschew political correctness to say what needs to be said about the Leftist agenda to “fundamentally transform” America. Transform that is as in change the Original Intent of U. S. Constitution into the Left Wing moldable Living Constitution which a human ruler, elite or Political Party duping the electorate – can interpret the rule of law in any darn way that justifies a man-made rule of law.
A fine example of this is the Op-Ed Palin wrote for Breitbart calling for Obama’s impeachment. Most political realists believe even if Obama is impeached he would not be convicted by at the least 60 Senators that would be needed to convict. Meaning if a 59 majority voted to convict Obama and actually remove him from Office, he would remain President of the United States of America.
It is my opinion that if voters FINALLY get fed up with Obama dictatorship before he unilaterally pulls a Hitler and declares himself America’s new glorious leader AND begin sending calls for impeachment to both the House and Senate by tens of millions or more, then even Dems might jump on the impeachment train. At this point if voters too stupid or irresponsible to live in the same America they were born into, then those voters are irresponsible and deserve Obama’s despotic transformation.
OnI cross posted Sarah Palin’s June 13 Facebook thoughts on the idiocy of Obama’s handling of child illegal aliens inundating across the Mexican-US border. Her thoughts then were primarily on the concern of how children were being treated full of diseases and bad living conditions. She really had of hint of calling for impeachment then. In this Breitbart Op-Ed gets down to business calling for Obama’s impeachment and I say AMEN.
In a recent op-ed, former vice presidential candidate and Tea Party favorite Sarah Palin blasted away at the Obama Administration for their complete and utter unwillingness to enforce our nation’s existing laws.
“Enough is enough of the years of abuse from this president. His unsecured border crisis is the last straw that makes the battered wife say, ‘no mas.’”
Her logic is sound; after all, it’s not like President Obama has been a shining example of executive authority and only suddenly began disregarding his oath of office. For years, this president-turned-dictator has hand-picked what laws will be enforced and, just as dangerously, created new laws unilaterally to be enforced.
Make no mistake: this isn’t about a slight stretching of executive power; this is dictatorial rule.
“Without borders, there is no nation,” Palin writes. “Obama knows this. Opening our borders to a flood of illegal immigrants is deliberate. This is his fundamental transformation of America. It’s the only promise he has kept. Discrediting the price paid for America’s exceptionalism over our history, he’s given false hope and taxpayer’s change to millions of foreign nationals who want to sneak into our country illegally. Because of Obama’s purposeful dereliction of duty an untold number of illegal immigrants will kick off their shoes and come on in, competing against Americans for our jobs and limited public services. There is no end in sight as our president prioritizes parties over doing the job he was hired by voters to do. Securing our borders is obviously fundamental here; it goes without saying that it is his job.”
Ultimately, Palin calls for the impeachment of Barack Obama. In bold terms, she states,
Who’s looking out for the American workers? Who has their backs? Who fights for them?
We should.
President Obama’s rewarding of lawlessness, including his own, is the foundational problem here. It’s not going to get better, and in fact irreparable harm can be done in this lame-duck term as he continues to make up his own laws as he goes along, and, mark my words, will next meddle in the U.S. Court System with appointments that will forever change the basic interpretation of our Constitution’s role in protecting our rights.
It’s time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment.
The many impeachable offenses of Barack Obama can no longer be ignored. If after all this he’s not impeachable, then no one is.”
She is absolutely right. Impeachment is not something to take lightly; it is a removal from office that occurs as a dire resort. If Americans simply sour on the policies of a president, that is one thing; but when a president purposefully ignores his Constitutional obligations and violates the laws of land and encourages others to do similarly, it’s time for the despot to go.
We have endured his abuses long enough and Sarah Palin is absolutely right. The time to impeach is now.

I just posted “The House should Investigate and Subpoena Obama Administration to the Hilt”. In that post I go over the plus and minus of impeaching President Barack Hussein Obama. I could have started with any one of the scandals of questionable illegal behavior of Obama’s leadership. Since I received a CCC email showing how the President knew Benghazi was a pre-planned Islamic terrorist attack I began there.
In the Tony Lee report I found the Facebook link to Sarah Palin’s page which she excoriated both Democrats and Republicans for the horrid conditions of the illegal immigrant children warehoused in an Arizona detention facility like sardines.
Palin’s excoriation of Democrats and Republicans was really the launching pad for calling on voters to throw out Democrats and Republicans alike who frozen immigration reform and MOST OF ALL President Hussein Obama for ignoring immigration law as it is currently on the books of law. In paraphrasing Palin she calls Congress a load of cowards afraid to confront Obama’s law breaking with impeachment proceedings. The implication being the voters can make a difference in Congress’ backbone to impeach the tyrant Obama for his continued illegal behavior.
Dear Humanitarians, Since it Takes a Village to Stop Amnesty Abuse of Children, Join Me
“It’s for the children!”
“This is a humanitarian crisis!”
Finally, they have won me over. I actually agree with the liberals’ war whoop. I, too, demand that this issue of young illegal aliens flooding across our border into horrendous conditions be taken care of. Now! Uncompassionate people, wake up! Though it’s claimed by Democrats ad nauseam to justify more spending to pile on our $17 trillion debt, and it’s applied to every single “crisis” their policies conjure up, and no matter the cause you’re labeled a racist if you disagree with their policies, well, this time it really IS for the children.
I say this as a mother – a bleeding-heart compassionate woman and mother. I say, how dare anyone turn a blind eye and further harden your horrid heart when you see these pictures snuck out of the innocent children’s holding pens – snuck out because our government is censoring images released. It must be my (former) friends in the GOP ordering this censorship because Democrat leadership knows better than to EVER spy on or censor the press; they’d NEVER infringe on the First Amendment. So, for shame, Republicans.
These thousands of hungry, innocent children rushing in through Mexico are just the tip of the Sedona Red Rocks (granted, some of these illegals are 18-year-old men whom you wouldn’t want to mess with, but, still, according to Obamacare we now dub young adults “children” until they’re 26, so…). Expect to see hundreds of thousands of another country’s children walk right through our welcoming open border, counting on America’s families to render all aid. We owe it to ourselves to be prepared – so, work even harder, working class, while our President uses his trustworthy discernment to redistribute your paycheck, because it IS for the children, after all. And it takes a village, don’t you know?
These victims are brought here (by SOMEONE in authority in their own countries) facing sweltering 110-degree Arizona heat, illness, unsanitary conditions with unbelievable hygiene issues, Texan food the kids don’t like because it’s too foreign to them, and possibly sexual exploitation. By any definition, this is child abuse!
We cannot ignore this, and to do so proves you are heartlessly oblivious to the plight of those who, though not willing and able to follow rules or our laws, are expecting a free pass and handout anyway. As a Christian I find it unforgivable to ignore this issue of overrunning border security into these conditions in southern states, and this one issue is just about driving me to renounce my Republican ties because, see, even leaders on the RIGHT side of the aisle haven’t exerted all Constitutional power to stop the madness. A few have tried, but until they’re sent reinforcements, then atrocities like the child abuse and exploitation you’re now getting wind of will only get worse.
It’s already hard to recognize our once exceptional nation amidst the neglect of this issue of children used as political pawns. Can you imagine this disregard for child safety happening even a short decade ago? The press would have had none of it, and they’d shine light on what the underlying problem is. They’d report that it’s not the innocent babes’ fault, would attempt to get to the bottom of it, and then finally they’d blame Bush. Today, that approach is ignored. They just blame Bush. There is a loud and aggressive invitation to illegals of all ages and from all countries to “kick off your shoes and come on in!” Now that’s Southern Hospitality! It’s sent by foreign leaders and our own. C’mon, with all the free stuff we can supply everyone, how can anyone turn this down? Government will have to grow enormously to accommodate this influx, and services and care will inevitably have to be rationed, but like we teach our children – we’re all better off being disciplined! And isn’t sharing our resources okay as long as we have trustworthy, compassionate career politicians in charge of the nation’s priorities? Remember, our Republic has been blessed because we committed to nurture a caring, compassionate, pro-child, law abiding citizenry. And because of those mores, it’s unconscionable to take any more of this chaos and crisis. I say, enough is enough. This issue of the children MUST be addressed.
So, GOP and Democrats alike, where are you on this humanitarian issue of child abuse?
Hang on to your hat, because here’s the issue: Barack Obama has orchestrated this newest “crisis” in order to overload the system with the intention of “fixing” the problems his own policies create – by fiat, and that infamous phone and pen; screw the rule of law. He’s warned you by proudly claiming his executive orders can bypass the peoples’ representatives and obviously ignore the will of the people.
This exploitation of foreigners’ children is an inhumane ploy to entice families to break laws by literally shoving kids across one of Obama’s infamous and irrelevant lines, with assurance that parents, aunties, step-uncles and third cousins twice removed will get to cut in line too – that sacred line that previously led law abiding, hardworking immigrants to build this great nation. Barack Obama will keep phoning in and penning the message that he will NOT secure borders, so, hey, extended undocumented relatives, you’re free to join the kids being used and abused to snag that golden ticket. Obama surely knows a nation is not a nation without borders, while we must surely know this is the “fundamental transformation of America” that he promised and some of us warned about.
Congress and American voters, how long will you let Team Obama get away with this? The recent avalanche of devastating crises caused by a president believing he is above the law has set the most dangerous precedent a once-free people can imagine. To encourage and reward lawlessness by refusing to enforce the will of the people as proven by laws passed by our political representatives is the signature of a tyrant. In this case, Obama’s refusal to enforce immigration laws and his blatant suggestion that his chosen illegal activity will be rewarded are proof of his tyrannical tactics. The recent numerous manipulated “crises” have the media pinging and ponging trying to keep up with what is the scandal of the day, which one overshadows another, and how will they distract next, and who’s on first?! Purposeful decisions causing these crises are meant to overload the system, justify abuse of executive power to “fix” it all, and ultimately tighten control of the people.
So, how much more will you take, Congress and We the People? I sense not enough guts in D.C. to file impeachment charges against Team Obama for their countless documented illegalities, so the way to stop this is at the ballot box. To fundamentally restore America to her destined exceptionalism you must get involved and then get to that box. Use YOUR phone and pen to support conservative candidates who will fight for what is right: Constitutionally protected freedom, respected military, free markets to create jobs, and secured borders to protect jobs! We need your help to do this; it takes more than a village to fortify the homeland. ANYONE associated with support for Obama’s deceptive ploys that would stoop to using and abusing innocent children must be voted out of office. ANYONE who has shined the boot that Obama’s put on the neck of our economy and security must be held accountable by those with the legal power to do so – Congress. And then We the People hold Congress accountable. Do not vote for any politician who has gone wobbly on their commitment to respect the will of the people and to fight to defend our Constitution. This wishy-washy status quo has got to go.
It IS for the children.
– Sarah Palin
P.S. I see that HHS is offering a $350 million grant to provide “family planning services” to the children here illegally. The primary expenditure we need to supply in this humanitarian crisis is jet fuel to fly these children back home to their parents.

Palin Paraphrased – Obama is a Tyrant, Impeach Him
Since it Takes a Village to Stop Amnesty Abuse of Children
Blog Editor: Palin is the female version Ronald Reagan. For years Reagan was put down by liberals and Establishment Republicans as too dumb and too hawkish to become President. History points out that President Reagan was one of the greatest Presidents in American history. It is ironic that Sarah Palin is excoriated in similar fashion today as President Reagan was in years’ past.
This is me praying that Sarah Palin runs for public office again. There has been a draft Palin for Senate push going on and I would be extremely gratified if she ran for President in 2016.
