The Sugar Daddy Has Run Out of Sugar; Now We Need New Leaders

Governor Palin today posted on Facebook:

Barack Obama’s big government policies continue to fail. He should put a link to the national debt clock on his BlackBerry. The gears on that clock have nearly exploded during his administration. Yesterday’s terrible job numbers should not be a surprise because it all goes back to our debt. Our dangerously unsustainable debt is wiping out our jobs, crippling our economic growth, and jeopardizing our position in the global economy as the leader of the free world.

As a governor, I had to deal with facts, even unpleasant ones. I dealt with the world as it is, not as I wished it to be. The “elite” political class in this country with their heads in the sand had better face some unpleasant facts about the world as it is. They’ve run out of money and no amount of accounting gimmicks or happy talk will change this reality. Those of us who live in the real world could see this day coming.

Back in January 2009, as governor of Alaska, I announced: “We also have to be mindful about the effect of the stimulus package on the national debt and the future economic health of the country. We won’t achieve long-term stability if we continue borrowing massive sums from foreign countries and remain dependent on foreign sources of oil and gas.” Then I urged President Obama to veto the stimulus bill because it was loaded with absolutely useless pork and unfunded mandates. Everyone knows my early and vocal opposition to that mother of all unfunded mandates known as Obamacare starting back in August 2009, and many recall my objections to the Federal Reserves’ inflationary games with our currency known as QE2 from November 2010. It’s a matter of public record that I did not go to Harvard Law School, but I can add.

The same “experts” who got us into this mess are now telling us that the only way out of our debt crisis is to “increase revenue,” but not by creating more jobs and therefore a larger tax base; no, they want to “increase revenue” by raising taxes on job creators who are taxed enough already! As Margaret Thatcher said, “The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” That’s where we are now. Hard working taxpayers have been big government’s Sugar Daddy for far too long, and now we’re out of sugar. We don’t want big government, we can’t afford it, and we are unwilling to pay for it.

This debt ceiling debate is the perfect time to do what must be done. We must cut. Yes, I’m for a balanced budget amendment and for enforceable spending caps. But first and foremost we must cut spending, not “strike a deal” that allows politicians to raise more debt! See, Washington is addicted to OPM – Other People’s Money. And like any junkie, they will lie, steal, and cheat to fund their addiction. We must cut them off and cut government down to size.

To paraphrase Hemingway, people go broke slowly and then all at once. We’ve been slowly going broke for years, but now it’s happening all at once as the world’s capital markets are demanding action from us, yet Obama assumes we'll just go borrow another cup of sugar from some increasingly impatient neighbor. We cannot knock on anyone’s door anymore. And we don’t have any time to wait for Washington to start behaving responsibly. We’ll be Greece before these D.C. politicians’ false promises are over. We must force government to live within its means, just as every business and household does.

We can’t close our $1.5 trillion deficit overnight, but we must get as close as we can as soon as we can. Little nibbles here and there over 10 years (spun to sound like they’re huge budget cuts) aren’t anywhere near enough. I know from experience that cutting government spending isn’t easy. As governor, I made the largest veto cuts in my state’s history, and I didn’t make many friends doing it. But we will never recover, we will never get free of devastating debt, unless we make tough choices now. We don’t hear talk like this from leaders in D.C. or from those running for office because they say what they think we want to hear rather than what must be said.

We are in desperate need of real leadership, but President Obama’s solution to everything is to grow government by borrowing more money, spending more money, printing more money, and taxing our job creators. He once said that he “believes in American Exceptionalism…just as the Greeks believe in Greek Exceptionalism.” Well, the path he has us on will make us just as “exceptional” as Greece – debt crisis, stagnation, permanent high unemployment, and all.

As we approach 2012, there are important lessons we can learn from all of this. First, we should never entrust the White House to a far-left ideologue who has no appreciation or even understanding of the free market and limited government principles that made this country economically strong. Second, the office of the presidency is too important for on-the-job training. It requires a strong chief executive who has been entrusted with real authority in the past and has achieved a proven track record of positive measurable accomplishments. Leaders are expected to give good speeches, but leadership is so much more than oratory. Real leadership requires deeds even more than words. It means taking on the problems no one else wants to tackle. It means providing vision and guidance, inspiring people to action, bringing everyone to the table, and with a servant's heart dedicating oneself to striking agreements that keep faith with our Constitution and with the ordinary citizens who entrusted you with power. It means bucking the status quo, fighting the corrupt powers that be, serving the common good, and leaving the country better than you found it. Most of us don’t see a lot of that real leadership in D.C., and it’s profoundly disappointing.

But let me tell you where real hope lies. It’s not the hopey-changey stuff we heard about in 2008. Real hope comes from realizing how God has blessed our exceptional nation, and then doing something about it. We have been blessed with natural resources, hardworking entrepreneurs, and a Constitution that preserves the greatest form of government ever devised by man. If we develop those natural resources, allow our entrepreneurs to keep and invest more of what they earn, and adhere to the time-tested truths of our Constitution, we will prosper and endure.

But first and foremost we must tackle our debt. We don’t have the luxury of playing politics as usual. We need real leaders who will put aside their own political self-interest to do what is right for the nation. And if they don’t emerge… well, America has a do-over in November 2012.

Media Making Things Up: “Tears” and “Rages” During "The Undefeated"? Really?

Governor Palin today posted on Facebook:

Obviously we’ve seen our share of media lies, but the latest fabrications circulated take a big slice of the cake. The UK Daily Mail reports that I was “in tears” as Todd “rages over Hollywood stars ripping” me in the new film “The Undefeated.” Huh? Really? The beautiful town of Pella, Iowa, was flooded with an army of media covering the premiere of this film. You’d think someone would have caught those tears and rages on tape, right? Well, here’s a video of the remarks I made at the Pella Opera House right after viewing the film. The emotion clearly displayed was gratitude to the filmmakers who invested their own time and money into highlighting my team’s record in Alaska. Todd and I were overwhelmed with gratitude, and we hope everyone sees this film.

 

In fact, you can click here to buy tickets to see the film, which opens in theaters on July 15th. You can also vote here to bring it to a theater near you.

 

MSM, you should check it out too. (You’ll learn the facts many of you have failed to report for the last three years as you’ve continued to do what makes you less and less relevant in our country’s discourse: you’ve chosen to just make things up.) There’s a story there, but you’ll never find it if you continue lying and carrying water for the powers that be.

 

Again, we thank the sweet town of Pella, and will forever remember the amazing evening we shared together in Iowa!

Not Afraid of Life as told by Bristol Palin's Toughest Teacher

Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far discusses in detail the painful lessons Bristol Palin learned, and gives an intimate glimpse into the dynamics of the Palin family from the eyes of their eldest daughter.

Bristol, 20, wrote the book with the help of Nancy French. Not Afraid of Life was released June 21, 2011. The memoir covers Bristol's latter teen years, beginning with her relationship with Levi Johnston, moving forward through Governor Palin's gubernatorial and vice presidential campaigns all the way through the early part of 2011. Readers are transported into Bristol's life as a high school student, barista, an assistant in a dermatologist's office, contestant on Dancing with the Stars, and teen advocate.

Bristol provides many intimate details of her life, which some readers may find uncomfortable, but which are key to some of the lessons learned.

Not Afraid of Life was an emotional roller coaster ride as readers are taken to the depths of Bristol's heartbreaks and the heights of her achievements. Bristol has her mother's sarcastic sense of humor that will leave readers laughing throughout the book, even through some of the painful moments. Not Afraid of Life is 256 pages of nice, easy reading. I found it difficult to put down. Like Going Rogue, Not Afraid of Life includes a photo spread of family shots several pages long halfway through the book.

Lessons Learned

The point of Not Afraid of Life was to provide young readers with the hard lessons learned from Bristol's experience so that they do not repeat her mistakes. Among them:

  • You start on the road to perdition when you're somewhere you're not supposed to be and have to lie about where you are.
  • Getting yourself inebriated to the point of losing control of your faculties is never a good idea. Luckily for Bristol, she walked away from that experience "only" with having her virginity stolen. Many others lost their very lives under similar circumstances.
  • Having sex with a chronic philanderer will not stop the philanderer from cheating on you.
  • Having sex to hold on to someone never works.
  • Birth control pills don't work when they're used incorrectly and doses are skipped or forgotten about. Contraception is not 100% guaranteed. It is subject to mechanical and human error.
  • A baby will not change an irresponsible man into a responsible one.
  • Staying in a bad relationship, hoping your partner will change is a vicious cycle. It took Bristol several iterations till she broke the cycle. Many people never change it and live their entire lives in abject misery.
  • The combination of Bristol's strong work ethic and a supportive family who unconditionally loves her was her salvation.

Achievements

Readers of Not Afraid of Life also see what Bristol did right. Though she was fairly well-off, she went to work to secure her future and independence. She graduated high school with a 3.497 average while being a new single mother and working. When Bristol came into money, she invested it in real estate and a college fund for Tripp. Bristol went on a humanitarian mission to Haiti with Gov. Palin and learned even more lessons to help keep her grounded. Rather than let a mistake or even a series of mistakes ruin her life, Bristol recovered from them. Her strong work ethic, maternal instinct and strong sense of responsibility guided her back to the right path.

Her Toughest Teacher...

Bristol learned that her hardest, meanest teacher was neither in any classroom, nor in her home.



"Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards."

-Vernon Sanders Law



Palin Family Dynamics: An Intimate Look

Readers get to see the sibling rivalries, and the interactions among the large extended family spanning multiple generations. We see the lives of Sarah and Todd Palin through the eyes of their eldest daughter from the perspective of a teenager and young adult. Bristol's vivid descriptions of events and incidents put the reader right in the action. For this reason alone, Not Afraid of Life is a must-read and and a must-have for the library of any Palin supporter.

Book Tour

Bristol's book tour is remarkably low-key compared Gov. Palin's tours for both Going Rogue and America by Heart. Of course, Gov. Palin has as many years experience as Bristol has been alive in marketing, campaigning, promoting, and being a Transformation Leader. Gov. Palin is also an expert on deploying Internet social media.

Bristol's book tour began at the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN and will continue on to Birmingham, AL and Phoenix, AZ. Other cities on the tour are yet to be announced.

Further details may be released on Bristol's Facebook page. Dance Bristol Dance, a Facebook page maintained by Bristol's supporters is also a good resource for Bristol news, interviews, and events. Finally, both US for Palin and the People for Palin maintain dedicated Bristol Palin pages highlighting her key accomplishments.
