"Hi Mom!"

Aren’t you just horrified that Sarah Palin was caught with words written on her hand? How could she do this? Better yet, why does the press care? Has no one ever written down a few key words that they need to remember when speaking? Obviously the press was very concerned and now the “Progressives” are ranting about how she needs cheat sheets to talk.

Has the press ever said anything about Obama reading from his teleprompter for his whole speech? Worse, has the press said anything about him reading the words phonically and absolutely changing the whole meaning of his sentence because he was reading what was in front of him instead of telling what he wanted to say? For example, last week, he talked about the Navy Corpsmen that are helping in Haiti. Unfortunately he read “Navy Corpse Men”. New meaning to the title.

So why is everyone so upset over Sarah’s use of her palm as a note card? Because she hit a “GRANDSLAM OUT OF THE STADIUM HOMERUN” is why! I sat and listened to it for the whole hour and then listened to her question and answer period. If you are wondering where this was, it was in Nashville, TN at a TEA Party National Convention. Yes the one that she got $100,000 for speaking at. The same $100,000 that she has confirmed that she is using in her PAC to promote conservative candidates around the country in their campaigns this year. Many of them are TEA Party candidates. (A TEA Party candidate can be an Independent, Republican, Democrat, Constitutionalist, etc. It is the things they stand for that is important, NOT the party; smaller government, fewer taxes, less spending, following the Constitution, being honest, having integrity and being truthful.)

So back to the HOMERUN! She gets it! A couple of weeks ago I listened to her being interviewed by one of my favorites, Glenn Beck on his TV show. She was impressive. She knew her stuff, did not get flustered by some very personal and invasive questions about what she was doing and could she survive in Washington DC. Saturday night at the TEA Party convention, she showed why people like her. She talked about what is important in our country, what is going wrong in our country and what we should do to fix some of these problems. Yes, she used her pages of paper that she appeared with, but she also spent many moments talking from the heart without looking down. This was where she shined! No preformatted line or phrase, just talking from the heart and the gut. She had them on their feet for a good portion of the applauses and for quite some time at the end.

She showed humor that was tasteful yet direct. Her welcoming the CSPAN audience by telling them they were always welcome to a TEA Party event was fitting. Her references to numerous problems in our government were very identifiable, many funny and yet never inappropriate or insulting. So how did Sarah respond to the press and her adversaries commenting about her use of her hand? With humor, exactly how she should have. The other day at a fundraiser with Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Palin wrote "Hi Mom!" on her hand for all the media to see. Classic Sarah!

So why the full posting about Sarah Palin? She gets it! She is one to watch. Don’t compare her to the stuffy politicians who run our broken country, compare her to what you want done in Washington. She has a track record, she kicked corruption out of Alaska and she got them back into line fiscally. Some say she was a bad governor, but they are mad because a real person fixed something broke and did it legally, above board, with Honesty, Integrity and Truthfulness. Yes HIT. And that scares the “Progressives” to death! She is a real person just like us that has sacrificed a lot to make a “good” change in America. Listen to what she is saying, not to what the press is saying.

There is something else I want to tell you about today also. There is a show on FOX News Channel every weekday at 3PM Eastern called the Glenn Beck Show. Yes, that very same guy that the press is claiming is an extremist wacko that cries occasionally. Who is he? He is a self-proclaimed alcoholic that has been sober for many years now. He is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, The Mormons. His conversion story is on his website and is incredible. He is the third most listened to radio show in America. He has the news commentary TV show that is kicking the butts of every other news show on all of the other networks and only O’Reilly out performs him but he still beats O’Reilly at times. He was on a national tour with O’Reilly a couple of weeks ago, they are very good friends. He is not a Republican or a Democrat; he is a true conservative that uses common sense. His method used on his show is him as a teacher. He uses a chalkboard and chalk and brings in expert guests. He outlines what is happening and then gives you truthful descriptions of who people are, what they stand for, what their agendas are and how their actions are affecting our country. He uses factual statistics, sound clips, video and written accounts to teach you what is happening. He is the founder of the 9-12 movement that the TEA Party goers use so much. He invites the opposition or anyone to refute or prove wrong anything that he teaches every day on his show. He even has a telephone on the set that the White House has the phone number to so they can call and correct him if he says anything that is wrong. They have yet to call! I record this show every day and watch it when I get home. It is one of the most educational shows you will ever watch on politics, society and our country. What you won’t expect is to be laughing a good portion of the time, because he is also very humorous. Please set your DVR’s to record his show and begin watching it when you can. I promise you, you will begin to understand why the “Progressives” in our country hate him also, he tells the truth and you see it very quickly. Another person with HIT! Please watch his show, you will look forward to “class time” if you do.
