From what I understand (I didn’t see it), the first part of Sarah Palin’s interview with Katie Couric was pretty hard to watch because it was obvious Sarah was so uncomfortable. Tonight, however, she continued her interview with Couric and I thought it was great. Sarah was comfortable answering questions off the cuff and did [...]

With Obama, all things are possible
by Kim Priestap on 30. Sep, 2008 in 2008 Presidential Election, Barack Obama
That’s the message behind this disturbing video of children singing worship songs for Obama as if he were some kind of god. That’s what kids in North Korea, Cuba, Saddam Hussein’s old Iraq, and other totalitarian regimes were taught to do as well. The purpose is if they grow up seeing their leaders as god-like [...]
Why we love Sarah Palin
by Kim Priestap on 25. Sep, 2008 in 2008 Presidential Election, Sarah Palin
Liberals are foaming at the mouth with their hatred for Sarah Palin. Interestingly enough, the very thing about her that drives them insane is what makes conservatives like us love her. Take this for example: When federal judges in San Francisco ruled in 2002 that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools was unconstitutional [...]
Sarah Palin spontaneously takes questions from media while at Ground Zero
by Kim Priestap on 25. Sep, 2008 in 2008 Presidential Election, Media, Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin took questions from the media while at Ground Zero something I’d love to see her do more of. There are a number of people out there who say let Sarah go and do her thing, and I agree. Here’s a portion of the transcript from Hotline: CNN: On the topic of never letting [...]

by Kim Priestap on 21. Sep, 2008 in 2008 Presidential Election, Sarah Palin
Yes, you read that correctly. When she spoke at Lady Lake, Florida at The Villages, she drew a crowd of 60,000 people!

Newt Gingrich Answers Charlie Gibson
by Kim Priestap on 21. Sep, 2008 in 2008 Presidential Election, Politics, Sarah Palin
Blogs for John McCain posted a very moving video by Newt Gingrich in which he answers Charlie Gibson’s question to Sarah Palin about whether she thinks we’re fighting a holy war. Gibson meant to demean and embarrass Palin for her comments, but it seems if he has a problem with what she said, then he’d [...]
That’s a nice tax-exempt organization you got there. Hate to see something happen to it
by Kim Priestap on 21. Sep, 2008 in 2008 Presidential Election, Politics
A reader sent this link to an exclusive CBS 2 HD report that says Democrats threatened the tax exempt status of Jewish organizations involved in the rally if they didn’t pull Sarah Palin’s invitation: Sources tell CBS 2 HD that a decision to disinvite Palin from the high profile rally after Clinton pulled out in [...]
Canadian doctor fears Palin’s decision to have Trig will mean fewer abortions
by Kim Priestap on 11. Sep, 2008 in 2008 Presidential Election, Abortion, Sarah Palin
Yes, this is actually his concern, that fewer women will abort their Down Syndrome babies, as if that’s some national tragedy. But when you have socialized medicine which requires rationed medical care to the masses, any newborn with developmental delays and physical disabilities can cause problems for the collective. What an awful sentiment, that newborn [...]

Changing Baby Trig’s diaper. From the New York Post’s Cindy Adams: Now, for Sarah Palin. Hark back to Friday. First time McCain [...]
How Sarah Palin took down Alaska’s Corrupt Establishment
by Kim Priestap on 05. Sep, 2008 in 2008 Presidential Election, Oil, Sarah Palin
Kim Strassel has a must read at the Wall Street Journal that outlines how Sarah took down the corrupt Alaska establishment which had been taking bribes from the oil industry. It’s really impressive how she brought former Governor Murkowski, other high profile government officials, and the oil industry to their knees: Frank Murkowski made clear [...]
I'm Kim Priestap
I'm a Reagan conservative and believe in his core principles as outlined by Jeffrey Lord in The American Spectator:
1. The idea that an individual was and should always be the master of his or her own destiny.
2. The belief in the unique character and powers of every human being and their personal opinions.
3. A belief in freedom under law, as opposed to the concept of modern liberalism that power is everything.
4. A belief that collectivism and the centralizing of power in Washington threatened Americans with a loss of freedom in their own communities and daily lives.
5. A belief in the individual over bureaucracy.
6. That modern liberalism has, in the words of Whittaker Chambers, a "vindictiveness...of temper."
7. That, as Reagan wrote, "we cannot diminish the value of an entire category of human life -- the unborn -- without diminishing the value of all human life."
8. That we will all die, but what makes the difference, as Reagan once said, is what we die for. That there are things worth dying for, and peace, alas, can never be purchased at any price but strength.
9. That freedom belongs to every individual by divine right.
10. That freedom is better than control.
