If you caught Hannity's interview with Governor Sarah Palin last night, it's not too hard to see why the left have put so much effort into trying to destroy her. Not only does Palin make a world of sense, but -like Dick Cheney- she clearly believes that now is the time to stand-up unabashedly for bedrock Republican principles. Judging by her chipper self-confidence and charming demeanor, if the leftist MSM and DNC did any damage to Palin's morale over the last 12 mos-- it's surely not showing.
Sarah Palin foresees conservative Reaganite policies as being the nation's desired antidote in 2012 to Obama's socialist re-make of the United States- as the country will soon be painfully aware of how The One's radical agenda has taken America to the edge of the abyss.
Palin's unshakable belief in what made this country great in the first place -coupled with common-sense arguments against the agenda of today's White House- are precisely what Obama and the DNC don't want you to hear. They'd prefer to lull you into complacency with specious and vacuous Obama rhetoric that is the political equivalent of the Muzak that they pipe into your dentist's office- and for the same reason, to take your mind off of what's going-on.
HANNITY: What do you make of – look at the state of the economy now...
PALIN: Well, when you consider that the federal government is about eleven trillion dollars in debt, and we’re borrowing more to spend more.. it defies any sensible economic policy that any of us ever learned through college. It defies economy practices and principles that tell ya ‘you gotta quit digging that hole when you are in that financial hole’
Palin continues:
"America is digging a deeper hole and how are we paying for this government largesse. We’re borrowing. We’re borrowing from China and we consider that now we own sixty percent of GENERAL MOTORS – or the U.S. government does… But who is the U.S. government becoming more indebted to? It’s China. So that leads you to have to ask who is really going to own our car industry than in America."
HANNITY: You know but it goes back - It does go back a little to the campaign. I mean, ‘spread the wealth, patriotic duty…’
PALIN: Kind of a ‘we told ya so’.
HANNITY: Well, is that how you feel?
PALIN: That’s how I feel! I feel like… and I think that more and more constituents are going to open their eyes now and open their ears to hear what is really going on and realize ok… Maybe we didn’t have a good way of expressing that, or articulating that message of ‘here is what America could potentially become if we grow government to such a degree that we cannot pay for it and we have to borrow money from other countries, some countries that don’t necessarily like America.
And this many months into the new administration, quite disappointed, quite frustrated with not seeing those actions to rein in spending, slow down the growth of government. Instead Sean it is the complete opposite. It’s expanding at such a large degree that if Americans aren’t paying attention, unfortunately our country could evolve into something that we do not even recognize.
HANNITY: Socialism?
PALIN: Well, that is where we are headed. That is where we have to be blunt enough and candid enough and honest enough with Americans to let them know that if we keep going down these roads… nationalizing many of our services, our projects, our businesses, yes that is where we would head. And that is why Americans have to be paying attention. And we have to have our voices heard. And ultimately it need to be our will, the American people’s will imposed on Washington, instead of the other way around.
