Sarah Pailn’s Accomplishments
Wasilla, Alaska — People like to say bad things about Sarah Palin, but very few have paid attention to her many actual accomplishments. Former Democratic Alaska Senator Mike Gravel said the following in a Pacifica radio interview (September 9, 2008), “I have no particular negatives about her…McCain made a very good choice…she has had the courage to put the people and integrity above party…she has more executive experience than Obama, Biden and McCain combined.”
To put it in perspective here are a few of her accomplishments (Originally written by Dewie Whetsell, an Alaskan Fisherman.)
“The last 45 of my 66 years I’ve spent in a commercial fishing town in Alaska. I understand Alaska politics but never understood national politics well until this last year. Here’s the breaking point: Neither side of the Palin controversy gets it. It’s not about persona, style, rhetoric, it’s about doing things. Even Palin supporters never mention the things that I’m about to mention here.
1- Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as soon as Palin took the Governor’s office away from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republican’s “Corrupt Bastards Club” (CBC) and sent them packing. Many of them are now residing in State housing and wearing orange jump suits. The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti and singing, “la la la la” (well, you know how they are). Name another governor in this country that has ever done
anything similar.
2- Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect The huge, giant oil companies here. So she constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called “ACES.” Exxon (the biggest corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told them, “don’t let the door hit you in the stem on your way out.” They stayed, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich. Of course, the other huge international oil companies meekly fell in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country that has done anything similar.
3- The other thing she did when she walked into the governor’s office is she got the list of State requests for federal funding for projects, known as “pork.” She went through the list, took 85% of them and placed them in the “when-hell-freezes-over” stack. She let locals know that if we need something built, we’ll pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured she could use the money she got from selling the previous governor’s jet because it was extravagant. Maybe she could use the money she saved by dismissing the governor’s cook (remarking that she could cook for her own family), giving back the State vehicle issued to her, maintaining that she already had a car, and dismissing her State provided security force (never mentioning – I imagine – that she’s packing heat herself). I’m still waiting to hear the names of those other governors.
4- Now, even with her much-ridiculed “gosh and golly” mannerism, she also managed to put together a totally new approach to getting a natural gas pipeline built which will be the biggest private construction project in the history of North America. No one else could do it although they tried. If that doesn’t impress you, then you’re trying too hard to be unimpressed while watching her do things like this while baking up a batch of brownies with her other hand.
5- For 30 years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory drilling at a place called Point Thompson. They made excuses the entire time why they couldn’t start drilling. In truth, they were holding it like an investment. No governor for 30 years could make them get started… This summer, she told them she was revoking their lease and kicking them out. They protested and threatened court action. She shrugged and reminded them that she knew the way to the court house. Alaska won again.
6- President Obama wants the nation to be on 25% renewable resources for electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the legislature and submitted her plan for Alaska to be at 50% renewables by 2025. We are already at 25%. I can give you more specifics about things done, as opposed to style and persona. Everybody wants to be cool, sound cool, look cool. But that’s just a cover-up. I’m still waiting to hear from liberals the names of other governors who can match what mine has done in two and a half years. I won’t be holding my breath.
By the way, she was content to return to AK after the national election and go to work, but the haters wouldn’t let her. Now these adolescent screechers are Obviously not scuba divers. And no one ever told them what happens when you Continually jab and pester a barracuda. Without warning, it will spin around and tear your face off. Shoulda known better.
You have just read the truth about Sarah Palin that sends the media, along with the democrat party, into a wild uncontrolled frenzy to discredit her. I guess they are only interested in skirt chasers, dishonesty, immoral people, liars, womanizers, murderers, and bitter ex-presidents’ wives.
So “You go, Girl.” I only wish the men in Washington had your guts,
determination, honesty, and morals. I rest my case.”
Ted, please forward this as an email and many of us will forward it to our friends and family
and maybe even a few Democrats…. Thanks
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich : a great equalizer.
The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”.
All grades would be averaged & everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail & no one would receive an A…After the first test, the grades were averaged & everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset & the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less & the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings & no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Good parable, yamit.
That bar mitzvah is already yielding handsome dividends.
Either that, or you function at maximum efficiency when inebriated.
The lesson I derive from your riveting account is that socialism replaces personal initiative with collective sloth:

The former Constitutional lawyer, or senior lecturer, cited the US Constitution last night during his State of the Union Address. Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of Independence… not the Constitution. Modern Conservative reported, via Free Republic:
In last night’s State of the Union Address, President Obama said:
We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal….
Um, wrong founding document, Mr. President. It is in our Declaration of Independence that we read:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
You should see the results after I attend others weddings.
I normally avoid these events like the plague and find creative excuses not to attend, like I just had my …..Amputated or I just was diagnosed with Ebola or Anthrax, things like that . This time I was threatened to be there or suffer severe consequences. I just bought a new car and have a very few miles on it so I rationalized going as a chance to really break it in.
Wasn’t really drunk I had 2 drinks cheap scotch with a dash of soda and since I haven’t had a real drink since 1492, I got a bit lightheaded. I decided to get a few hrs sleep. I was up at 6am and on the road. Did Shabbat shopping on the way home and and was greeted by all my friendly pets like the prodigal returns.
I really pigged it as I hadn’t eaten since the eve. before. I took a buffet plate of stuffed grape leaves with pickled herring, spaghetti and grilled chicken drum sticks, along with the Scotch, that set the tone for the whole evening. I can’t believe I was once 13 and looked like some of those kids???
Uncle Nahum (Yamit), just additional proof he is a fraud.
This impostor with dumbo ears is nothing more than a acorn community organizing wimp who is anti-Semitic and anti-Israe
Give him a break. He was probably referring to the Constitution of the 57 States.
