Palin's Commencement Address
Pamela Geller
Sarah Palin's Farewell Address as Governor of Alaska Sunday was no
farewell address at all. It was just the beginning; it was a
commencement address. More
Excerpt:
Her
speech embodied what a great American sounds like, and what a President
ought to sound like. Palin made no apologies. She said nothing like
Obama's inane drone of "America's best days are behind us." No tearing down of our nation. Obama ranks on us; Palin raises us up and speaks of national pride.
First and foremost, she thanked our brave men and women defending this great nation and ripped the media, warning:
"You
represent what could and should be a respected, honest profession that
could and should be a cornerstone of our democracy. Democracy depends
on you, and that is why, that's why our troops are willing to die for
you. So, how about, in honor of the American soldier, you quit makin'
things up?"
She
briefly outlined her plans for real energy independence -- American
resources for Americans -- speaking of commercializing our clean
natural gas (AGIA) as the first private sector energy project in the
history of America. Palin believes (and rightly so) that the pressing
issue of our time is energy independence. "There is," she said, "an
inherent link between energy and prosperity...We will prove you can be
pro-development and pro-environment because no one loves their clean
air, and their land, and their wildlife more than an Alaskan. We will
protect it!"
She
invoked America's pioneering spirit. She urged us to resist enslavement
to big central government: "Be wary of accepting government largess."
Sarah
Palin embodies what an American is. She is what Washington, Jefferson,
and Franklin envisioned when they carved out the American idea.
Anyone who wants write her off, proceed at your own risk.
The
more evil succeeds and overwhelms our foreign and domestic policy, our
culture, our discourse and the very social fabric of our lives, the
clearer it becomes that Palin is the antidote, the answer to fighting
this morally bankrupt sewer in which we find ourselves during the Obama
Administration.
The
low state of the world is a fact, but so are great Americans who will
fight tooth and nail to stop what Obama is doing to America. Clear
thinking Americans see what is happening. America is being tested in a
way she never has been before. The President has in every decision
reinforced the impression that he is a radical, even a
communist/Islamist: the usurpation of the Constitution, the bankrupting
of our nation, the illegal grab of private wealth, the infiltration of
Islamic supremacism, the abandonment of our allies, the weakening of
our military. It's stunning.
Sarah
Palin sees it, too. Smart, sharp, patriotic, she best represents the
majority of Americans. Not Obama's shills in the press, not the
chattering elites and the Beltway insiders, but Americans.
Read it all and feel good.
