I'll start writing again tomorrow in strong support of Sarah Palin for President in 2012. It's amazing that Barack Hussein Obama, a man whose life is a monument to sleaziness, cocaine use, and machine politics, can declare his family "off-limits," but the Palins can make no such declaration. Why not?
As governor, Sarah makes controversial decisions because she doesn't "go along to get along." She's been a rock of integrity and courage throughout her life. Barack Obama, who has never gone against his Party -- never, ever -- can make no such claim. He's the same man who enthusiastically endorsed Blagojevich for governor -- twice.
Sarah Palin has the same kind of family issues that confront most Americans, including this one (with five daughters, all of whom have a mind of their own). There's an old -- accurate -- statement that parents don't "own" their children. They're on loan. There's another saying (that I made up) which says that our children ARE NOT US. They're themselves, unique human beings who have a right to make their own mistakes, which they will do, trust me.
Levi Johnston, meet Barack Obama. Both of them are self-absorbed sleazebags. Obama sold out to every special interest group with a bag-full of cash. Levi sold out his ex-girlfriend and his son, Tripp, for however many pieces of silver Tyra Banks was offering.
I believe Sarah will defend Bristol -- "like a mama grizzly." Let's do the same for a remarkable American woman, Bristol's mom. Part of the Palins' appeal is that they're "Every Family in America," and let's take advantage of that. (For certain, they're never boring.)
Sarah Palin blasts Levi Johnston for talking about relationship
with her daughter Bristol (From "Entertainment Weekly")
Levi Johnston -- Bristol Palin's former boyfriend and the father of her baby -- has made her lipstick-wearing pit bull mother biting mad. Johnston tells Tyra Banks on her show (that airs on April 6) that he believes Gov. Sarah Palin knew darn well he and her daughter were having sex when they lived in her house. "I'm pretty sure she probably knew. Moms are pretty smart," Johnston says. News of his sex chat with Tyra has hit the ears of the Alaska governor.
And you betcha her camp has released an angry hornet’s nest of a statement."Bristol did not even know Levi was going on the show. We're disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration and even distortion of their relationship," says the statement from the Palin family rep.
"It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well-being of the child."
The statement ends: "Bristol realizes now that she made a mistake in her relationship and is the one taking responsibility for their actions."

Limbaugh, Palin Right, Obama Wrong
Tomorrow (Thursday), I'll discuss Obama's disastrous plunge into class warfare. Yes, many people love to hate "the rich" (whether they're really rich or not). But consider this: Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently spoke out against soaking the rich. He explained that high-tax, high-cost New York has eight million resident. But a mere 40,000 of the eight million provide 63% of the city's revenue. What if one-eighth of those people -- 5,000 -- moved out of the city? It would do real harm to city services. What if one-fourth of them -- 10,000 -- moved out, which they certainly have the resources to do ? It would cripple the city's ability to meet the needs of its people. Is Obama aware of such situations? He hasn't shown any sign yet that he is. Sarah Palin does understand such realities, and that's one reason she'd be a much better President than Obama.
Below: "Obama's success would be America's failure." That's why we don't want him to succeed. The MSM's absurd notion that Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh are simpletons while Obama is a sophisticated intellectual makes me apoplectic. The stock market has dropped 3,000 points since the election of Obama. Wall Street believes Hussein Obama is the simpleton, and it's correct.

Clearly, Barack Obama has no understanding of how the American economy works. His tax plan is an invitation to investors to sell their stocks. It's an invitation to American business to hoard cash rather than invest it.
But how could Obama understand the economy? The man has spent his entire life going to left-wing academic institutions, "organizing" communities, and running for ever-higher offices. He's spent a lifetime accepting handouts -- scholarships, grants, and payments for being a lazy, lousy legislator. Obama has had everything given to him. People like Palin and Limbaugh have had to earn all that they've gotten.
Frankly, if you want to know what's wrong with the economy and what must be done to fix it, don't go to Obama's web site. Instead, come here, where I'll offer simple explanations of what is going on and how we can help improve the situation.
First, however, a last word (for now) on Rush Limbaugh's amazing speech to CPAC: What Rush reminds us is that we don't have to "make nice" with people who try to smear Sarah Palin -- or who sling mud at Limbaugh. Being nice to deceitful, dishonest people ensures they will never get any better. We may not change their minds, but we can at least make them uncomfortable.
Frankly, in his LONG CPAC address Rush did not say offensive things. His goal was to defend responsible democracy and the American way of life. The accusations he made about Obama's socialist -- or vote-buying -- agenda happen to be true. Some of our Republican leaders are good people -- John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor, even Michael Steele -- but they aren't forceful enough.
As Limbaugh indicated, when it comes to simple matters of right-and-wrong, "bipartisanship" is not the answer. When a public policy is bad, compromising on it doesn't make it "half-bad."
When Obama is taking steps that harm charities and further depress the housing market, we don't need a bipartisan compromise. When people tell us comforting lies, we need to tell the truth to the best of our ability.
Also, when investors feel gloomy about the stock market's prospects, we need to reveal the negative effects of Obama's efforts to increase the tax rate on capital gains and reduce people's capacity to invest. Finally, when Rush says that's what Obama's doing, is he being "mean" -- or is he just reciting some obvious, if inconvenient, truths?
As a society, we don't want to punish the most productive people in the economy and reward the least productive. Doing so harms the country. That's why many of us, including Rush, don't want Obama to succeed.
In fact, Obama's success would be America's failure. We don't want to become like Britain and France, with slow growth, high unemployment, and a social welfare scheme that reduces opportunity.
Barack Obama likes to talk a lot about Abraham Lincoln and, lately, Franklin D. Roosevelt. One historical individual Obama has never mentioned -- but should -- is Benjamin Franklin.
What's the best way to gain great wealth? Is it to speculate wildly on Wall Street, assuming that the market will always go up -- as you've noticed, it doesn't? Or is it to buy more house than you can afford, believing that the market will always trend upward and you can sell it at a handsome profit. Not anymore.
Benjamin Franklin took a more modest approach, one we might describe not as "get rich quick," but rather as "Get rich . . . slowly." He said, "The road to wealth, if you desire it [who doesn't?], is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality. That is, waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both."
In the U.S., tens of millions of people have gotten wealthy by doing basically what Franklin advised. (In contrast, Obama got rich through two massive book deals for autobiographical volumes that were strong on hope and short on real accomplishments.) His wife got a rich person's salary primarily because she was married to an influential elected official.
Currently, former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Obama's Illinois political associate, is trying to get rich in a hurry with a book deal of his own. If all else fails, as it did for Blagojevich if not for Obama, then write a book. For normal people, it pays to follow Ben Franklin's advice, sagacious as he always was.
[More tomorrow about what Obama doesn't know about U.S. business and economics -- and Gov. Palin does.]

Sarah vs. Hillary: Sarah Wins
Wonders Never Cease: October, 2008, President of Los Angeles Chapter of NOW endorses Sarah Palin in Carson City, NVIf I ran Sarah's presidential campaign -- and don't kid yourself, she wants to be President -- I would have as her slogan: "I am ONE OF YOU."
She is a wife, a mother (and mother of one soldier and one special needs child), a wife of a union member, a woman professional, an exemplar of Christian values, a staunch constitutionalist, a lifelong sportswoman and NRA member. She's an expert on energy, the environment, and integrity in government.
The MSM tended to ignore her multitude of connections with NORMAL AMERICAN PEOPLE. She is NOT an ideologue. She deeply believes in integrity, freedom, opportunity, and respect for others. That's enough.
Recently, I had a "discussion" with a staunch Hillaryite who was rhapsodizing about Mrs. Clinton's views on the middle class. I pointed out that Mrs. Clinton (Wellesley, Yale, Arkansas Governor's mansion, White House, and the $100 million fortune) is not -- and never has been -- a real member of the American middle class. Sarah has been -- and is.
I told the Hillaryite, "Sarah Palin has EVERYTHING in common with you -- and HRC has NOTHING in common with you."
In short, that's our Sarah. If she and those who support her make the same points, she can win in 2012. It will take a monumental effort by her -- and us. Obama and his "people" will stop at nothing in their efforts to retain power. They will make Rod Blagojevich look like Mother Theresa. We have to do what is necessary to stop them in their tracks.
Sarah will never (thank God) be a detail person -- and neither were any of our great Presidents. Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon were detail people.
