Simple Songs of Freedom: The Voices of Sarah's Soldiers

Reflecting back on my previous 59 posts, it strikes me that regarding the subject of the ex-Governor of Alaska, I may have proven to be less than equitable, less than “fair and balanced.” In the interest of neutrality, fair play, and truth, justice and the American way, this blog entry is dedicated to Palin’s people - to her supporters, to those who follow her, love her and truly know her best. They sincerely believe her to be the premiere candidate for Commander in Chief, the prime preference to lead our beloved republic, the individual who will take our land in a grand, needed, new direction; and as good, well-meaning, sincere, concerned Americans, they merit an opportunity to be heard. So, today I turn over “…and several butcher’s aprons” to these, perhaps partisan, proclamations – spelling, grammar, syntax or belief unchanged and presented as originally posted on Palin's Facebook page. These virtuous voices deserve to be heard purely, plainly and patriotically. To quote Carly Simon, “in the name of honesty, in the name of what is fair,” I proudly present, the Voices of Sarah’s Soldiers.

“Does anyone know if stupid is back from Europe yet? Or did he go to Germany and try to resurrect the Nazis for his cause? He's probably apologizing TO the Nazis for what America has done. Obama, you're a pile of crap.”

“Jihadist Terrorist Obama votes at the UN to take Israel's land and create and Islamic state”

“I was just watching the meeting with Natanyahu and Obama if you look at Obama he looks HIGH. See past clips and speeches of Obama, drunk, meds, or ?????? just a observation.”

“We must take arms against those heathens just as our brethren have. Down With Osama! Down with his twin brother Obama!”

“Obama is an anti-semetic MUSLIM that wants to ISLAMIFY our COUNTRY!”

”just sad we have to let everyone vote. some shouldn't.”

“I am a big fan of Sarah Palin! anyone who does not love this woman and what she stands for! is simply a GOD hater!”

”trump was just a mole for obama. obama is the anti Christ.”

“Obama’s Czars have free reign now to go about their business of Marxist rule, openly in defiant of the U.S. Constitution, their enemy.”

“The real reason that Obama wants amnisty for illegals is because he is one! And he feels that if ALL illegals are given amnisty, they will vote for him because they all know that he is ‘One of Them.’ Who would have ever believed that a citizen from a country like Kenya could take over a country like the United States of America without ever firing a single shot.’

“I realize liberals don't respect their pro-baby killing women but they crossed the line with you.”

“I think it is pretty clear about the Obama Presidency that it has a conscious policy goal to create an environment where it will be practically possible for the future internal security agencies of the US Federal Government to exterminate the American Jewish Community in concentration camps in the US with Zyklon B.”

"Watch the movie: "THOR". You will see Obama as the EVIL Brother in the movie, who takes over The THRONE of The PEACEFUL NATION. Americans trusted to let OBAMA, of Muslim heritage take the throne of AMERICA to rule over us - WHAT CAN WE DO NOW..... WE AMERICANS can NEVER TRUST MUSLIMS to be LEADERS/POSITION in AMERICA.”

“To all of those, that wanted to have a Minority in the White House, the day you made the decision to vote to put a communist muslim traitor as the leader of this formerly great nation, is the day we ceased being family, friends or acquaintances. Some things are forgivable, others are not.”

“Could Obama be Osama's son? Well, they must be related somehow. As one of your biggest fans, Sarah, wish you can obtain all the facts.”

“What a lot of people dont realize is that this idea first came from hitler and no health care plan that fine's you or puts u into prision for not having health care or cannot afford health care is such a great thing”

“Can someone translate this to Arabic so Obama can read it?”

“go build your Barack Hussein Obama Cultural Center in Kenya, We Americans have a Republic to Restore. Screw Diversity and multi-culturism, we assimilated here.”

“We had our first colored prez. Now u need to become the first women prez.”

My fellow Americans, there you have it – the voices of real America, or as Palin puts it – “these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation.”

Gay baiting, Muslim hating
Flag saluting, earth polluting
Animal killing, deep-sea drilling
Tax cheating, wife beating
Gun toting, Bible misquoting
Fast-food glomming, clinic bombing –
Such are Sarah Palin’s, “real Americans.”

From whence could these contributors have possibly gotten such outlandish, dangerous, negative, frightening, bigoted and patently Un-American ideas? Clearly these hateful diatribes would never have been inspired by such a responsible, intelligent, thoughtful and mature leader of people as Sarah Palin. For example, she would never out and out outrageously falsify a claim that Obama’s health care plan was designed to kill your grandmother - "The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil”

She certainly would never dare imply something as incendiary as the leader of our great nation being a terrorist himself – “…someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country."

Or far be it of the former sportscaster and beauty queen to insinuate that the Obama is so illegitimate that he’s not even a native of our own blessed nation – “There’s something there that the president doesn’t want people to see on that birth certificate. Then he seems to go to great lengths to make sure it isn’t shown.”

And when Michelle Obama decided to tackle the very real and growing national health problem of childhood obesity - encouraging children to be more physically active and to develop better nutritional habits - no thinking, rational human being would actually take a “pro-Childhood Obesity” stance – “instead of a government thinking that they need to take over and make decisions for us according to some politician or politician's wife priorities, just leave us alone, get off our back, and allow us as individuals to exercise our own God-given rights to make our own decisions and then our country gets back on the right track.”

Of course Palin spewed all of this nonsense, primarily and precisely, because if someone, anyone, with the surname of Obama posits any proposition, then it is automatically a communist plot positioned to destroy the very foundation of America as we know it. Such is the mind of a charlatan, a huckster, or may I even intimate a paranoid schizophrenic? To quote the immortal Dean Wormer, “Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life.” Well, do you recall when Palin characterized the President’s speaking to school children about the importance of education as his way of indoctrinating them to socialism? It appears “fat, drunk and stupid” is quite accurately the manner in which she would prefer our country’s children cultivated. Why - because such qualities make citizens simpler to manipulate and control.

Naturally, unstable people can be found in every color of the political spectrum. No doubt perusal of an Obama or Romney or even Aaron Burr website would result in finding similarly extreme statements… perhaps. I can, however, attest to the fact that not a single one of the comments above were rebuked by either Sarah Palin or by any of the other Facebook page participants. Quite the contrary, most of these postings had “likes” and follow-up comments of affirmation. While Palin cannot be held responsible for the writings of her followers, she should be held responsible for not condemning such violent, virulent, dangerous, intolerant hate-speech. On the other hand, could she ever really honestly condemn such postings when, as was previously proven, prevarication and petulant provocation has historically been her modus operandi?

Sarah Palin rarely discusses issues; she knows little of such things. Instead she transacts in fear, hatred, paranoia and personality, propelled by her long-standing campaign of lies. If you disagree with her it’s never just a policy difference, it’s not because you both want the best for our nation but just have disparate political philosophies. Rather, it’s because you’re not “one of us.” Like “Hussein” Obama, you are somehow foreign, un-American, un-patriotic, a socialist, a Muslim, a terrorist and you mean to do harm to this great white, Christian country of ours. Democrats aren’t a rival political party, they are the enemy. To be a true Palin devotee, it is preferred that you distrust Muslims, homosexuals, liberals, foreigners and immigrants. What she desires is that you resent and fear your fellow Americans. She fans the flames of righteous, right-wing rage and retribution. And not only will she stir you up, she’ll provide you with a map and a list of names of lefty evil-doers. The only thing Sarah doesn’t do is load the gun, point it and shoot it for you. "Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!'"
Over 3 million people are “likes” on her Facebook page (are you afraid yet?) over 3 million people thinking this violent and divisive way in your very own homeland. And what’s the spoonful of sugar that makes this toxic medicine go down? How does she make this daily does of vitriol and vileness palatable to decent people? She sweetens it all with flag and God and family, including the shameless exploitation of her children as political props. Sarah Palin’s Facebook followers – 3 million strong and 3 million wrong.

Sarah Palin is much more than easy comedy fodder for Bill Maher. She’s poison in red “f-me” pumps and skin-tight leather jackets. She and Michele Bachmann may be the Janet and Chrissy of the geriatric, pasty-faced, GOP, old boy’s club “Three’s Company” fantasy, but this pair of TV ribald roommates aren’t packing nighties, they favor AK-47s. And if this blog can play the role of Mr. Furley and somehow, minutely help quash some of this testosterone-driven madness from the right, then my patriotic duty has been done.

As the initial intent of this posting was to allow simple Sarah and her supporters to speak for themselves - Ms. Palin concludes in her usual peaceful, passive and conciliatory manner. –

“Your leaders will be in the enemy’s crosshairs. You never win playing defense, get on offense! The crossfire is intense, so penetrate enemy territory. Use your weapons. Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember it takes blood, sweat and tears to win. No matter how tough it gets, never retreat, instead reload!” – Sarah Palin in “America by Heart”

Now, Bobby Darin with a true “Simple Song of Freedom.”
