Governor Palin's farewell speech was Reaganesque to the core. Each of
the authors on Accomplishments: Pamela Geller, Gary P. Jackson,
Kristina Lazzaro, and Dee Reynolds have arrived at the same conclusion
and elaborated in detail why.
In her final address (once we have
a text transcript, we will post it here), Governor Palin addressed four
key points, which are distilled below:
- She defended responsible development of domestic gas and oil.
- She defended the Second Amendment, hunting, and fishing.
- She exhorted the mainstream media to return to ethical news reporting.
- She advocated for small, limited government.
This
was her final act as Governor Palin, simultaneously her first act as
Citizen Palin, and possibly a harbinger of things to come.
By
this bold act of fearless sacrifice, Governor Palin -- now Citizen
Palin has backed up her words with actions. She has executed her
time of choosing.
She has been summoned to carry President Ronald Wilson Reagan's torch. We now await
The Speech....that moment when she answers that summons and beckons us to follow her home to the Shining City on a Hill.
Vigil is posted.
