After a disappointing day for the majority of Americans, in which we felt like we had just watched a desperate political battle for the future of our nation’s economy turned into a professional wrestling match, whose outcome had been determined behind the scene before the match even started, Former Alsaskan Governor Sarah Palin appeared on Sean Hannity’s program on Fox News.  Here’s the interview:

As you saw in the video, the following dialogue occured when Hannity asked about the frontrunner for the Republican Presidential Nomination (until she gets in the race), Mitt Romney:

This is gonna leave a mark.

Fmr. Gov. Sarah Palin:  [I’m] getting closer to making the decision, of course, for legal reasons, for practical reasons; but still haven’t made up my mind yet, Sean. But, doggone it, I want these candidates who are in there, I want them to not be sitting back. And bless his heart, I have respect for Mitt Romney, but I do not have respect for what he has done through this debt increase debate. He did this [puts finger in air]. He waited until it was a done deal that we would increase the debt ceiling and more money would be spent, more money borrowed and then spent on bigger government; and then he came out and he made a statement that ‘oh he didn’t like the deal after all.’ You know, you can’t defer an issue and assume that the problem is going to be, then, avoided. No, you defer an issue like not speaking out on how you really believe about an issue that we’ve just gone through as a nation and you are inviting a crisis. So Mitt Romney and other candidates, you need to get out there, you need to tell the electorate what you really feel about these issues. Don’t do this [puts finger in air]. Don’t just wait and sit back.

The Artic Fox sure nailed that one.  Romney, as is his practice, stayed down in his foxhole until the battle was over.  He then stuck his finger in the air to see which way the wind was blowing.  Finally, he issued a statement.

What a Profile in Courage, huh?

She also commented about a meeting on Monday (which I wrote about yesterday) in which Vice President Joe Biden said Republicans were “terrorists” during a closed-door meeting with Congressional Democrats about the debt compromise.

According to Gov. Palin, “enough is enough” and she’s “not going to sit here and take it anymore” when pontificating politicians like “Sheriff Joe” accuse the Tea Party Movement of being Raaaciiists:

It’s all talk and no real action. Otherwise he’d be on Biden and tell Biden to tone it down a little bit. Yeah, right, independent patriotic Americans who desire fiscal sanity in our beloved nation being called terrorists. Heck, Sean, if we were real domestic terrorists, shoot, President Obama would be wanting to pal around with us, wouldn’t he? I mean he didn’t have a problem paling around with Bill Ayers back in the day when he kicked off his political career in Bill Ayers’ apartment.

Honest.  Direct…and to the point.  How…refreshing. 

Especially, as compared to these three nattering nabobs of negativity:

Three MSNBC hosts, at an appearance before reporters on Tuesday at a meeting of the Television Critics Association, predicted the winner of the 2012 Presidential Race…their messiah, the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, of course:  President Barack Hussein Obama (Peace be upon him, as he celebrates the holy days of Ramadan).

Lawrence O’Donnell, host of “The Last Word,” flatly predicted the re-election of President Barack Obama.

Rachel Maddow fell in line with O’Donnell, citing a thus-far weak Republican field as the reason for her pick.

But “Hardball” host Chris “Tingles” Matthews unexpectedly waffled, proclaiming that Obama’s fate will rest largely on the economy as well as whom the GOP nominates.

According to Chrissie, Mitt Romney, whom Matthews dismissed as “a mood ring,” would be a pushover for Obama and Michele Bachmann, whom Matthews can’t stand, because she told him off on live TV on the night of the Midterm Elctions, would fare even worse than Romney:

He’ll [Obama] just have a hoot.

EPILOGUE:  I have read that several of  my fellow posters on a well-known Conservative blog, supposedly feel the same way as Larry, Moe, and Shemp-ette from MSNBC do.  These posters claim to be Conservative, although I suspect that they are actually Libertarians, squishy Moderates, or just dyed-in-the-wool Liberals, whose sole purpose for posting is to spread negativity and disrupt Conservative dialogue (but, I digress…).

Gov. Palin’s statements, made on Hannity last night, have the potential to ignite a firestorm…and it’s about cotton-pickin’ time!  Reagan Conservatives need to get up off of it and start walkin’ real loud and talkin’ real proud again (courtesy of Charlie Daniels and the CDB).

As I posted the other day:

In a poll released on August 1st, 2011, gallup.com  reported:

Americans’ political ideology at the midyear point of 2011 looks similar to 2009 and 2010, with 41% self-identifying as conservative, 36% as moderate, and 21% as liberal.

If this pattern continues, 2011 will be the third straight year that conservatives significantly outnumber moderates — the next largest ideological bloc. Liberalism has been holding steady for the past six years, averaging either 21% or 22%, although notably higher than the 17% average seen in Gallup polling during the early to middle ’90s.

Gov. Palin was not afraid to speak her mind last night.  The rest of us who proudly wear the mantle of Reagan Conservatives should not be either.
