Sarah Palin Reloads and Fires
Edited on Sat Apr-10-10 11:42 AM by Joanne98


Sarah Palin, who gave up her career as governor of Alaska to become a fresh, powerful and informed voice on U.S. foreign policy and national security—especially on global nucular nuclear security issues—has once again impressed Americans with her in-depth knowledge of and experience in such matters.

In two historic and defining speeches, Palin has decisively shown how President Obama’s signing of the nuclear disarmament treaty is a treasonous act that will render our nation virtually defenseless.

Her detractors, led by the mainstream media, are naturally attacking the governor and disputing the facts.

They have chosen to ignore that, as governor of Alaska—our first line of defense against the Russian nuclear threat—Palin was the commander-in-chief of the Alaskan Air Guard and had at her beck and call an awesome fleet of fighters and bombers tipped and loaded with nuclear weapons. An armada she launched and controlled every time Putin reared his head and ventured into U.S. air space—those “frequent Russian incursions.”

Just listen to the Governor: “It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation.”

It was exactly Alaska’s proximity to Russia that gave Palin her extensive foreign policy experience, an experience that was suddenly and greatly enhanced when she met briefly with seven foreign leaders at the U.N. in 2008, including Afghan President Hamid Karzai who gave her a definite thumbs up.

“I found her quite a capable woman,” Karzai said later. “She asked the right questions on Afghanistan.”

Has any foreign leader ever said such complimentary things about President Obama?

How can anyone even begin to compare Palin prowess to Obama’s measly experience as a community organizer, as a part-time Senator and as President of the United States and commander-in-chief for a mere 15 months. We just need to look at and compare Obama’s miserable accomplishments to date with regard to North Korea and Iran to president Bush’s eight-year-long bang-up job.

The president claims that he is taking his advice from his National Security Adviser, the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and many others. What a joke! These people have probably never fired a weapon from a flying helicopter at a running wolf or moose below, as Palin and her experienced adviser, Todd, have done on many an occasion. Americans will surely trust decisions on our nation’s nuclear posture to people who have been steeped in these matters since their childhood; people who know how to use and fire rifles; people such as hunter Sarah Palin and, before her, hunter Dick Cheney.

3. That's what makes her part time Senator stuff against Obama so funny
She has developed such a narcissistic attitude she doesn't even think she quit as Governor.
