Whether she’s running or not, Sarah Palin will have a big impact on the presidential race — and she demonstrated why today at a stop on her bus tour in Pennsylvania. Palin told Scott Conroy of Real Clear Politics that not only should the US end subsidies for ethanol, but should end subsidies on all energy production, mainly because we can no longer afford to pay them:Amen!Mama Grizzly.
Asked Tuesday whether she supports the federal subsidy of ethanol, an always critical issue in the presidential nominating cycle, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin went one step further and called for the elimination of all energy subsidies.
“I think that all of our energy subsidies need to be relooked at today and eliminated,” Palin told RCP during a quick stop at a coffee shop in this picturesque town tucked into the south-central Pennsylvania countryside. “And we need to make sure that we’re investing and allowing our businesses to invest in reliable energy products right now that aren’t going to necessitate subsidies because, bottom line, we can’t afford it.”
Musings on history,most especially on the War Between The States,southern culture and anything else that may tickle my fancy or riles my blood.

"Palin: End All Federal Energy Subsidies"
Via Hot Air;
"Palin And The White Working Class"
From the American Thinker;
This analysis is absolutely correct.Its as though Sarah is playing football,while the rest are playing baseball.While Mitt and Newt are trying to create a political line-up to match up against one another,Sarah instead is staking out field positions in the American landscape from which she can rally support to herself.Two very different games.But there is another, bigger reason why the Republican insiders find it so difficult to take Palin seriously. Their game is political chess, a game of movement, and Palin plays Chinese Go or weiqi, a game of position, where you put down counters and never move them. With Going Rogue, she put down a counter that positioned herself as a "commonsense conservative." With America by Heart she positioned herself as a "commonsense constitutional conservative." Now, with her "One Nation" bus tour, she is mounting a "campaign to educate and energize Americans about our nation's founding principles, in order to promote the Fundamental Restoration of America."
That's the new counter that Sarah Palin is placing on the board as she moves up the Northeast corridor: the "Fundamental Restoration of America." It has quite a ring to it. It is just the line you would want to take if you were running for president against Barack Obama and his czars, his crony green capitalists, his waivers-for-friends ObamaCare, his regulatory blizzard, his jobless recovery, and his 1967-borders foreign policy. With "Restoration," Palin appeals to the patriotism of the white working class without getting into tricky economic details.

"Tyrannous Regulation"
This is absolutely brilliant from Mark Steyn;
The hyper-regulatory state is unrepublican. It strikes at one of the most basic pillars of free society: equality before the law. When you replace “law” with “regulation,” equality before it is one of the first casualties. In such a world, there is no law, only a hierarchy of privilege more suited to a sultan’s court than a self-governing republic. If you don’t want to be subject to “tooth-level surveillance,” you better know who to call in Washington. Teamsters Local 522 did, and the United Federation of Teachers, and the Chicago Plastering Institute. And, as a result, they’ve all been “granted” Obamacare “waivers.” Rule, Obama! Obama, waive the rules! If only for his cronies. Americans are being transferred remorselessly from the rule of law to rule by an unaccountable bureaucracy of micro-regulatory preferences, subsidies, entitlements, and incentives that determine which of the multiple categories of Unequal-Before-the-Law Second-Class (or Third-Class, or Fourth-Class) Citizenship you happen to fall into.

Obama's Covert War On The 2nd Amendment
Via Moonbattery;
The statist agenda has never been achieved until the public has been disarmed, because in the end, anyone worthy of being called human will rebel against socialism. Like other aspects of Obamunism so radical as to provoke open revolt, the campaign to repeal the crucial Second Amendment is going "under the radar" — to quote the Manchurian Moonbat himself:
On March 30, the 30th anniversary of the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, Jim Brady, who sustained a debilitating head wound in the attack, and his wife, Sarah, came to Capitol Hill to push for a ban on the controversial "large magazines." Brady, for whom the law requiring background checks on handgun purchasers is named, then met with White House press secretary Jay Carney. During the meeting, President Obama dropped in and, according to Sarah Brady, brought up the issue of gun control, "to fill us in that it was very much on his agenda," she said."I just want you to know that we are working on it," Brady recalled the president telling them. "We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar."These "processes" will be regulatory, imposed by faceless, unelected apparatchiks and ignored by the complicit media. That's how freedom is killed: quietly, gradually, furtively.

The Greatest Of All Time,At Being A Failure
Jimmy Carter told NBC News;
"I feel that my role as a former president is probably superior to that of other presidents," Mr. Carter said in an interview with NBC News.Mr. Carter is superior to every other president at only being a failure,nothing else.Since Obama was president when Bin-Laden was killed,it insures Mr.Carter place as the worst president in U.S. history is secure.

Sarah 2012?
"I think my problem is that I do have that fire in my belly. I am so adamantly supportive of the good traditional things about America and our free enterprise system and I want to make sure that America is put back on the right track and we only do that by defeating Obama in 2012. I have that fire in my belly," fmr. Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) tells FOX News
Love her or hate her,she is not perfect,but Sarah Palin is our best chance to defeat Obama in 2012 and bring conservative to leadership back to our government.It doesn't hurt that she has a backbone either,unlike some Republicians in Washington.

The Paul's Whacking A Mole
According to the MSM,when the Democrats win an election they have a mandate,when Republicians win an election they must compermise.I don't think the Paul's play by those rules.

"Seperated At Birth?"
Via Moonbattery;
Can you guess which of these soft rodents recently crawled up the colon of the liberal media in search of approval?
Compliments of WTSherman1864
The resemblance is striking.They not only look the same but smell the same also.

Old Glory Banned At Club Gitmo
Via Moonbattery;
If you think providing Osama bin Laden with an obsequious Islamic funeral at sea instead of feeding his corpse to pigs was irritating, how about this — at Club Gitmo, our flag is hidden away lest it offend the terrorists vacationing there. Richard Miniter, author of the new book Mastermind: The Many Faces of the 9/11 Architect, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, reports to Big Peace:Vince Lombardi said it best.
I was stunned to learn while researching Mastermind that Guantanamo detainees succeeded in convincing prison officials to no longer raise the American flag anywhere they could see it. Each morning on every U.S. military base around the world, the American flag is raised to a bugle. But in the interests of not offending the detainees, it was stopped at Guantanamo.The more we pander to these savages, the more we bow to their evil god and efface ourselves and crawl around on our bellies in the name of "sensitivity," the more weakness they will smell, the more they will attack us.

Osama Is Dead And Some Liberals Don't Like All The Flag Waving
Via Moonbattery;
Liberals didn't like all the flags that spontaneously appeared after 9/11. Now that Osama bin Laden has finally gotten what he had coming, they aren't liking the patriotic celebrations. WaPo's Petula Dvorak sanctimoniously gripes about displays of national joy, which she denounces as "vulgar":What is vulgar is the lefts loatheing of this country.Just once can't you liberals be happy for America.Just this once.
When I saw that folks were celebrating in the streets at the news of bin Laden's death, my first reaction was a cringe. Remember how we all felt watching videos of Muslims dancing in celebration on Sept. 11, 2001?
