Sarah Palin: A Paranoid Rogue In Wisconsin

art.palinbye0725.cnnLast night Sarah Palin  delivered a speech at a Wisconsin Right To Life event.

The Rogue (who is going such) of course didn’t allow press into the Milwaukee auditorium. With tickets $30 a head, attendees were unable to carry in cell phones, cameras, laptops, or recording devices of any kind, along with carry-in food or beverages, and of coursstrollers or car seats(Yes, car seats.) 

Some rogue-ass-shit must have really went down! (I wonder if Palin is moving into the latter stages of Nixon paranoia where she’s starting to think fruit bowls in her hotel room are bugged?) Since there was no  mainstream news coverage of the event, we have to get  details from personal blogs, such as the Christian conservative website, Motivation: Truth. Here’re a few rogue highlights.

Palin on money: 

“Governor Palin then began to tell a story of a conversation she and one of her friends in Alaska had a few weeks ago. Her friend had picked up a couple of the relatively new $1 dollar gold colored coins. They were discussing what was missing off of the front of the coins. Those four little words that have gotten America through her most troubling moments, “In God we trust”. As she observed; those four little words have been pushed off to the side of the coin. No longer prominently displayed on the face of the coin but those words have now been hidden on the outer edge of the coin. As she observed, this is kind of where we, as a Nation, have shoved God in our own lives.”

(Highlights of Rogue Sarah’s speech can also be found on themudflats.net

With more talk of her famous death panels for the elderly, and how” abortion is NOT health care,” Sarah Palin left the Wisconsin crowd (or “Sarah’s Rogues”) with these words: “Don’t ever let anyone tell you to sit down and shut up!”

Strange thing for a politician to say when she seems  fearful of the press, recording devices, and of course, baby strollers.

    Re: the coinage being changed to push God to the side – She also asked ” just who gets to make these decisions ??” , most likely assuming the current adminstration did this terrible thing. Turns out this was signed off on by “God talks to me and tells me I’m special” , ex Pres Bush.

    The Alaskan-roots blog, The Mudflats, had someone in the audience for the Palin speech. There’s a good recap on the “Boots on the Ground” thread over at http://www.TheMudFlats.net .

    Palin’s still going on and on about health care reform coming gunnin’ for Granny. It’s a crime the way she’s frightening seniors. Someone needs to call this woman out, and in a big way. She is something else, this one is.

    I don’t mind your linking to my site, but I would appreciate it if you would correct the name of the blog. It’s Motivation: Truth (www.motivationtruth.com), not Motivational Truth.

    Thank you.
