Is this why Gov Palin is viciously attacked?

In my devotions yesterday morning, I read the passage below and the first sentence sent my mind into a very “research” mode. I felt there was true meaning to what we see happening today but I could not connect it. The first sentence reminded me of obama’s statement “they cling to their guns or religion ” . Gov Palin referenced it in her new best seller “America By Heart”. Still thinking through the night 3 verses came to me and are listed below.Is Gov Palin being so viciously attacked because she is a GOD loving Christian, who PROUDLY professes her beliefs and values? I can remember reading and hearing in several sermons and from my mother-in-law “the closer you get in a full relationship with GOD the more you will be attacked”. Some further stated “If you are not being attacked ask yourself why?”

America we “must” not let these attacks go without “large responses” and continue to let our Christian values be taken away from us. We have the large numbers to stop this if we all “Stand Up Proudly for Our Christian Beliefs, Values, and Rights”

A Crutch?
by Dave Branon

Have you ever heard skeptics say that the Christian faith is nothing more than a crutch—that the only reason people claim to trust Jesus is that they are weaklings who have to make up “religion” to get by?Apparently those skeptics haven’t heard about the doctor in one Far Eastern country who spent 2 ½ years in jail being “reeducated” because he professed faith in Christ. Then, after his release, he was arrested again—this time for his efforts at his church.

And perhaps those skeptics haven’t heard about Paul. After trusting Christ, he was arrested, flogged, mocked, and shipwrecked (2 Cor. 11:16-29).

These believers were not looking for a crutch. No, they had something deep and essential in their hearts. They had a personal relationship with God—a relationship born of faith in the work of Jesus on the cross. As a result, they became children of the King—eager to sacrifice everything for the privilege of proclaiming Him. They were not limping along looking for something to hold them up.

A crutch? Hardly. Faith in Christ is not about safety and caution. It’s about believing Jesus and trusting Him no matter what. It’s about taking up a daily cross (Luke 9:23) and living for the Savior.

“Take up your cross,” the Savior said,
“If you would My disciple be;
Take up your cross with willing heart
And humbly follow after Me.” —Everest

Because Jesus bore the cross for us,
we willingly take it up for Him.

James 1:12 (New International Version, ©2010)

12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

Galatians 6:9 (New International Version, ©2010)

9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

2 Chronicles 7:14 (New International Version, ©2010)

14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Going Rough and Senator McCain

On 10/2 I pre-ordered 4 books and the CD. I just received notice they are being shipped. Last week I downloaded it to my iPod. For those of you who read it, hopefully you noticed the in house struggle started when the camp released a statement Gov Palin had rewritten but they still sent out the original on her daughter’s pregnancy. I hope you all understand the great affection she and Sen McCain share for one another. Hopefully you noticed when she wrote “the TEAM did not even have a bio on myself, seems they found out at the same time she did?” In other words Sen McCain called the shot on who his partner was going to be. There were 3 – 4 other candidates but Sen McCain was bright enough to see what we see in Gov Palin.

Mr. Schmidt’s first statements to Gov Palin were to let her know of the successful campaigns he ran for President George W . Bush and the for Gov Swartchenegger ( I am sure I spelled it wrong). That set the tone for their relationship. I am sure Sen McCain would do things different had he known then what he knows know but he let his campaign manager call the shots, which is usually the norm.

I state this because I am tired of hearing Sen McCain did not have her back. Gov Palin would not be where she is now if it weren’t for Sen McCain being smart enough to choose her. I am tired of hearing Sen McLame….etc when all the facts are not known.

We can disagree on policy decisions he or any other member of the Congress makes but , personally, knowing the Sen and what he has been through it does bother me. Right nos he has been trying to get the $400,000,000 in Medicare cuts removed from the healthcare package which is the right and brilliant move. Take it out of the healthcare bill how can the bill be passed?

In my opinion, Our Great Country is in a serious decline but we can reverse it. To do so we have to educate ourselves on all of the issue, which we do an OUTSTANDING job of that on TS, and we must be united in large numbers. We have to identify those in the media on our team, Rush, Sean, Glenn, Greta, and Lou Dobbs. We can not let emotions get in our way or trip over midgets. If Bill states something one may not like there is a post “I will not watch Bill again”, if Sean has a guest we do not like the post is “I am not watching him ever again”, if Glenn brings up the subject “if the 2 parties do not start to listen to their base they will find them in a 3rd party” the posts reads Glenn is calling for a third party or we must consider a third party.

Think of the numbers of people who follow these on the radio and TV and do not let our differences confuse us from the goal we and they all have: 1) Make a tremondous shake up in the Congress in 2010 and 2012, and 2) change Presidents in 2012, hopefully, Gov Palin if that is the road she chooses. She has great impact on our political scenes right now and she is not even in politics.

My final point is WE MUST STAY UNITED We are up against a Chicago Political Administration who has everything planned out well in advance, they would like to divide us. Glenn, Rush, and Sean are perfect for helping fight this TEAM they are not used to having anyone stand up in their face or disagree with them. They have found out this is not the case. Have you noticed the clownish smile wiped off Obama’s face and replaced by a frown?

I have been down this road before and offering TS some sound advice. You can accept it or send me emails telling me how wrong I am. Please know I love TS and we are are truly in the drivers seat right but we must know our friends from our enemies and stay united.

We Are Winning Our Great Country Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SARAH’S FACEBOOK BREAKS 1 MILLION!!!!! Submitted by Susan W

Glenn Beck’s comments today on Gov Palin. Please read it closely as some thought he was being negative.

Sarah Palin on Oprah
November 17, 2009 – 13:11 ET

Glenn: Let’s start with let’s start with Sarah Palin. Shall we? Can we start a little Sarah Palin and Sarah Palin on Oprah yesterday. Who saw it? Did anybody watch it? You saw it. Stu is a little Stu said that the audience was unbelievably, what would you

Pat: Noncommittal.

Stu: Cold. If you’ve ever watched an Oprah Winfrey program, one of the distinctive characteristics of the program is whenever any woman says anything, they go crazy, like it’s the greatest thing they’ve ever heard.

Glenn: I heard that. I heard that.

Pat: Foot rot.

Glenn: Yeah. So, they are a little mindless in their, you know, praising of people.

Stu: Yeah. They love their Oprah and when Oprah seems to like something, they love what she likes.

Pat: Sure.

Stu: And that’s okay. You’re a fan of the program. Certainly.

Glenn: Like minded people.

Stu: And I did not get that sense, that the audience was as fond of Sarah Palin than they were of

Glenn: It’s Sarah Palin. I said, it’s Sarah Palin. She’s got foot rot.

Stu: So, it was not many times I kind of expected the audience to really I mean, you know this is obviously they’re not talking about deep policy here. This is Oprah. They’re talking about her family, children, tough decisions that have been made inside the family with pregnancies and

Glenn: Things they would normally applaud, though.

Stu: Oh. Yeah. This is the stuff this audience is there for and they did not seem to be overly warm to Mrs. Palin.

Glenn: I have not, I have not read Mrs. Palin’s book yet and I you know, I wonder, we have an interview scheduled with her and I’m wondering if I just wait on the interview because I’ve seen her everywhere and you kind of get, you know everybody’s doing the same kind of thing right now and it’s

Pat: Like chicken man, he’s everywhere, he’s everywhere. That was just me.

Stu: Is that a reference or

Pat: Yeah.

Stu: It’s like Dick Orton.

Glenn: So, she’s everywhere and I really want you know, Rush Limbaugh said that this is book is what did he say? the most

Pat: Substantive book, one of the most he’s ever read.

Glenn: That’s significant.

Pat: Yeah, it’s big.

Stu: Obviously I haven’t read it yet, either. It came out today, but I don’t know. That’s not the way they’re treating it in the media by any means. But it is not also not surprising they would treat it that way.

Pat: I have thumbed through it and it seems like a lot of very interesting stuff. It seems like a lot of stuff that happened during the campaign, etc., etc., but I only saw one chapter that seemed to be really about policy.

Stu: Well, it could be they’re really good policies. It might not necessarily be the biggest policy book of all time but my guess is her policies are probably right. They’re probably good policies because that seems to be what she supports, at least from our perspective. So, I would not be surprised at all on that.

Glenn: I saw a little bit of the Oprah thing yesterday. You know, the thing that I think makes her look because I’m trying to think, okay, how is it that she looks stupid?

Pat: I don’t know.

Glenn: Well, I do in some ways. She looks stupid in the old interviews that she did and I think it’s completely acceptable to be this way, unless you’re a national public figure. You look stupid when you don’t know who you’re dealing with.

Stu: She sort of said that in the interview.

Pat: She did and we have that if you want to hear where Oprah asked her you know, she said, you had kind of a rough time.

Glenn: Yeah. Play this. Play this.

Oprah: Why don’t you just name some books or magazines?

Palin: Well, obviously I have all my life read. I’m a lover of books and magazines and newspapers. By the time she asked me that question, even though it was kind of early on in the interview, I was already so annoyed and it was very unprofessional of me to wear that annoyance on my sleeve, but

Oprah: You couldn’t think of any at the moment or

Palin: No. I was, like, are you kidding me? It seemed like it was in the contain text of do you need, it seemed like she was asking me how do you stay in touch with the real world? That’s how I took the question. So, I kind of well, didn’t kind. I did. I rolled my eyes and was annoyed with the question and thought, you know, I think that this is a problem with the state of journalism today is no matter what I say to her, it will probably be twisted, perceived as a bit negative.

Glenn: Okay. Stop for a second. I completely understand that and I don’t think anybody who I didn’t even understand that a year ago. In the last year, I began to understand who I’m dealing with and who you’re dealing with in the media. You don’t know what the game is like. When can we talk about what happened last week? Is that a couple of weeks?

Stu: Yeah, a couple of weeks. Still a couple of weeks ago.

Glenn: There’s something that happened last week and we’ll talk about it in a couple of weeks, but I’m just by something and I can’t say anything, that I was so absolutely on guard and I realized halfway through, I could have such a great conversation with this person if we weren’t playing gotcha and that’s all that’s played is gotcha. They’re going to ask you this simple question and so when you’re in this interview, you don’t you can’t even imagine. America, you just can’t imagine. You’re like I am. You trust people. You trust people to be decent because everybody you know is decent. You may not agree with them, but they’re decent. They’re fair. You would expect journalists to be fire. They’re not. They’re not. They come into the interview knowing exactly who you are and I’m going to get them. I’m going to be the one that gets them. And so they strategize in their head. I’m going to ask this question first, then I’m going to ask this question, then I’m going to ask this one, because if you ask this one first, if he answers it this way, Oh, oh, when I get to the third question do you know what I mean? So, you have to in your head quickly assess what is the real intent behind this question. Well, you look stupid when you first get into it because you don’t know that’s the game they’re playing because you’ve never played New York journalist hard ball. It ain’t nice. It’s not pretty. It is who’s a better games man. That’s all it is. It’s not even about the truth. It’s who can destroy whom. Who is going can you, as a presidential candidate, hold that person at bay, can you do this is what Sarah Palin did to David Letterman. She taught the media a lesson. Now, the media’s not going to go out and make jokes about her daughter, but that’s not the lesson. The lesson was, Really? You think you can get me? Me, personally? I don’t think David Letterman’s intent was to say that her young daughter was, you know, going out, you know, and having sex at 14. Maybe it was. Maybe it was.

Stu: It’s a good argument to be made for that. David Letterman’s not really the one to be looking into those kinds of things.

Glenn: It could be, but when I first heard that, I didn’t take it, but when I heard Sarah Palin’s response, I didn’t say good for you. I did this: (Indicating.) Oh, my gosh. Don’t mess with that woman, because what she did was she took now, maybe it was honest, but I’ve become jaded. Maybe it was completely honest that David Letterman meant it that way and she took it that way, but there’s an equal, if not greater chance, that David Letterman didn’t mean it that way but Sarah Palin had had enough and she wanted to send a message to all of the media, don’t screw with me. You think I’m a little hick? Really? Watch how I destroy David Letterman and take this little funny thing that he just did and rub his nose in it. That’s what she’s done. Now, that’s what interviews in New York are all about. If you’re a presidential candidate, you’ve got to show them, don’t screw with me. Really? You want ask me that question, Katie? I’ve got a question for you or I’ve got a response and maybe that response doesn’t ever make it to air. But that response, Katie Couric never forgets. That response she tells her friends, don’t screw with him. Don’t screw with her. You do it once on the air or you do it like David Letterman, like she did to David Letterman, and you’ve taught them she’s sharp enough cut your throat and you won’t even see it coming.

Stu: This is a great point you’re making of imagine what the media could be if that wasn’t the game.

Glenn: Exactly right. Imagine the truth you could get to if they didn’t you know, Al Sharpton said to me one time, the first time I interviewed Al Sharpton, he looked down at my notes and he said, you handwrite your notes out or somebody handwrites your notes? And I said, somebody handwrites my note? No. I handwrote my notes out. And he said, you write your own questions? That was such a bizarre question to me. And I said, yeah. Doesn’t everybody? He said, no. They’re usually not that curious. Somebody else writes the questions for most hosts, not all. The good ones, they write, but most hosts that are on television, the questions are in the prompter or they’re just on a sheet, ask this guest this question. Okay? They already know the response. They already know the questions and the really you know, the people like Katie Couric or Oprah Winfrey, those questions are designed in a committee. They’re designed by a group. This is an important interview. There’s a group of people saying these are the questions you’ve got to ask. These are the questions that we think you can ask and you can get this kind of a response. These are the questions that will either destroy this person or put you on the map or in their dream of dreams, both. Put you on the map for destroying this person. So, Sarah Palin looked stupid to a lot of people when she first came out because she had never played that game. I have to tell you, I’m still at the in the learning curve of that game. Just so the media knows, I’m not the guy I was six months ago. Go ahead, brother. Go ahead. I’m not so naive, I don’t trust people taking my picture anymore. We just turned down a deal with People magazine. They wanted to do a big spread because they wouldn’t let us use our photographer. Well, what we’re people magazine. We’re going to use our really? I’ve been burned by a photographer before, one that I looked into her eyes and said, look. I’m willing to make fun of me, I’m willing to do stuff, I’m willing just, please, I’m a human being. I’m a dad. Don’t do anything do what you say you’re going to do with these pictures. Oh, my gosh. Absolutely. Of course. She lied to my face, looked me in the eye. I talked to her human being to human being, an artist that is supposed to be able to connect with the human soul. Nothing. Dead inside. I don’t nobody takes my photo, nobody takes my photo. George Lang is the only guy that will ever take my photo, period. You want a photo of me, talk to George Lang because I can actually be myself, I can be crazy, risky, you know, somber, whatever it is, I can be who I am and I know he will never violate my trust on those pictures. That’s, unfortunately, the world you have to live in. Now, second thing that I think makes Sarah Palin look kind of stupid, you know, people will say, oh, she’s stupid. It’s in a damn Minnesota accent that I know she never lived in Minnesota, that accent drives me crazy.

Palin: Oprah on November 16th

 

From Sarah Palin’s Facebook Page:
Willow, Piper, and I are in Chicago and just wanted to let you know that I had a great conversation with Oprah today. We taped the show for Monday, November 16th, and enjoyed it so much that we went way over on time. The rest will air on Oprah.com. Oprah was very hospitable and gracious, and her audience was full of warm, energized and (no doubt) curious viewers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Sarah Palin’s Facebook Page:
In most of our cities and towns, you’ll see memorials to brave Americans – some in uniforms of wars from long ago – who defended freedom. If you look down at their inscriptions, you’ll see that they were dedicated by the mothers, fathers, wives and orphans of the veterans who gave all for their country. In distant lands across the globe, you’ll find silent fields of white markers with the names of Americans who never came home, but who showed their dedication to their country by where they died. Today we honor those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as those who served and came home forever changed by the battlefield.

Remember all the veterans who fought and sacrificed for our freedom today, and then please take the time to thank our brave men and women currently serving in uniform. We owe them so much.

Sarah Palin: Thank you, Washington, for Requesting a Demonstrably Good Idea

I commend the president for acknowledging today that “there are limits to what government can and should do” to ease our 10.2% unemployment rate – the highest it’s been since 1983. I also applaud his call for suggestions and expression of openness to considering “any demonstrably good idea.” Taking him at his word, I’d like to suggest this one: let’s learn from history and follow the example of the man who occupied the White House in 1983 and was able to transform an even worse recession than the one we’re currently experiencing into the largest peacetime economic expansion in American history.

When you realize the magnitude of President Reagan’s achievements, there is absolutely no reason why anyone would ignore his “demonstrably good” example. If you want real job growth, cut taxes – including capital gains taxes and small business payroll taxes – and slay the death tax once and for all. If you want to stimulate the economy and help poor and middle class families, cut payroll taxes so that more Americans can keep and invest more of what they earn.

If you want lasting economic expansion and prosperity, get the federal government’s budget under control. Instead of more pork-laden stimulus plans, let the free market correct itself. That’s what Reagan did, and history proves it worked.

In his comments today, the president honorably suggested that he welcomes our ideas on how to put America’s economy on the right track. But, there also seemed to be a suggested chastisement of the private sector’s efforts to right some economic wrongs when he said, “…small businesses and large firms…have not yet been willing to take the steps necessary to hire again.”

As business owners seek to expand, or just to keep doors open today, it’s not as if they are refusing to hire out of spite. Given a pro-private sector environment they will be only too happy to hire more people and grow their businesses. Perhaps if leadership in Washington reassured them by, for example, cutting tax burdens and making government more efficient, it would send our businesses a message that it’s safe and smart to expand today.

These are difficult times for so many Americans who are out of work. I implore our leaders to not threaten our economy’s job creators with increased taxes and job-killing schemes like cap-and-tax and the government health care takeover. Government needs to get out of their way and off their backs so that they can grow and hire again.

The lessons of history are clear. We’re blessed to have so many lessons from which to learn, and we’d be smart to emulate successes in America’s past. Our economic recovery decisions should be based on the same free market principles that Reagan employed. They work, history proves it, and I thank our president for asking for this input.
