Why?

Why is the TEA party growing so fast?  Why is Sarah Palin so popular?  Why is there an uprising of average patriotic citizens?  Why are the attacks from the Left centering on Palin and her candidates?  Why Palin and why now?  Easy questions to answer.  The survival of this young nation we call the United States of America is at risk.

A View From The North:

The biggest question asked by the left wing is ‘just who does she think she is going to ‘take America back’” from as she often says?  Who does she think she is?  Here is this Canadians view:

Palin wants to put control of America back into the hands of the people where (according to your constitution) it should have always been.  [snip]

Our choice is to become part of those seeking a solution or stay with the status quo.  One thing is for sure either way everyday Americans are coming after the elite who has driven your country almost to it knees.  Like a train they are heading to Washington state by state and those who do not want to support real change had better get the hell outta their way!  (more, Cam Vallee, Canada Free Press)

"The midterm election is no longer just about a change of ideological control of Capitol Hill. It’s about civil rights… again." says Bob Parks.  That's what the Liberals want you to think this is about, race, but it has nothing at all to do with race.  The Liberals, whether they be Democrat, Republican, or Independent, are doing their best to play not only the race card, but now the Palin card.   They want to take us back, bring us down, level the United States of America with every third world country out there. (That's so Obama.)  They don't think America is special.  Well I do.  So does Sarah Palin, so do the TEA party participants.

Superiority Complex:

The people of most nations have a natural tendency to believe themselves superior because of their culture, religion and way of life. Such a belief not only makes for a healthy dose of national pride, but also serves as an immune system rallying the people to fight off invasions and maintain their way of life against the winds of change. 

Today in the First World, however, liberals attack such beliefs in their own countries as reactionary and dangerous. Those who do believe that their country is better or that their culture is superior, are mocked as ignorant, stigmatized as bigoted ...   [big snip]

The left has fed the superiority complexes of refugees and migrant workers, even as it has marginalized and criminalized the superiority complex of the natives. It has done this in the name of tolerance, but the collision of two groups, one of whom has a superiority complex, will not lead to tolerance, until that latter group takes power. Then it may bestow some tolerance on those who were its former rulers, but are now its subjects. (Daniel Greenfield, Canada Free Press, more)

Sarah Palin and the TEA party movement believe America is superior to other countries and we need to keep it this way, -- they are for a strong military, small government, low taxes, securing our God given rights and freedoms while standing up to those who want to subvert that - Muslims and Sharia law just to name one.  Shariah:  "their totalitarian political, economic, military, social & legal system - with the goal of incorporating our Country into a global Islamic caliphate." 

It is time to boldly stand up for Our God, OUR Declaration of Independence, and Our Constitution, and say, “No!” to those who are taking over Our Country. It is time to use Our God-given unalienable* Rights and Our Constitution as the Sword & Shield they are meant to be. We can and must use these to defeat Islamization.  (Publius Huldah, Canada Free Press) 

* The final version of the Declaration uses the word "unalienable." Some earlier drafts used the word "inalienable," which is the term our modern dictionaries ...   

Sarah Palin and the TEA party agree, it's back to the Constitution!

Vetting Sarah Palin:

PALIN—THE VITAL POINTS:

There can be no doubting Sarah Palin’s longstanding, steadfast commitment to a strong, stable, secure and Exceptional America at home. Also without question is the importance of America’s safety abroad and its allegiance to our allies. Since the days of this nation’s founding, freedom has come at great costs; never has security from tyranny been free.

Allowing for the rise of injustice, murder, torture, attack or any other form of degradation to another nation, be that persecution in the name of political gain, religious dominance and expansion, or sheer bigotry and ideology, it is the moral responsibility of the nation of the United States to stand up for the rights of the less fortunate and oppressed. Never in the history of man has the allowed suffering of another nation, creed, race or religion resulted in anything other than millions of deaths and suffering; likewise neither has the ignored spread of hatred, socialism, Marxism, Nazism, Trotskyism or other form of sociopathic ideology or sociological theory left any positive remains in its wake.

Sarah Palin has vowed, in her own words, that there will be: “no doubt: I will always keep the threat of military action on the table to defend our security and our ally Israel,” further swearing, “Israel is our strongest and best ally in the Middle East. We have got to assure them that we will never allow a second Holocaust, despite, again, warnings from Iran and any other country that would seek to destroy Israel that that is what they would like to see. We will support Israel. A two-state solution, building our embassy, also, in Jerusalem, those things that we look forward to being able to accomplish, with this peace-seeking nation, and they have a track record of being able to forge these peace agreements.” Palin will immediately look to mend the relations so quickly crushed and thrown to the wind by the current administration.

Palin also will not allow for an unchecked, nuclear Iran. Considering the flaccidity of the current administration as it pertains to the Bushehr reactor debacle, in fact, Palin should have been in control of that issue from the beginning: “A leader like Ahmadinejad, who is not sane or stable when he says things like that, is not one whom we can allow to acquire nuclear energy, nuclear weapons… [Ahmadinejad] is downright dangerous because leaders like [him], who would seek to acquire nuclear weapons and wipe off the face of the Earth an ally like we have in Israel, should not be met with without preconditions and diplomatic efforts being undertaken first.” (WIKIPEDIA)

In closing it is fantastically imperative to reiterate one fundamental element of Sarah Palin’s political and personal persona: she is first and foremost a Christian. Second, and equally as important, she is a Constitutionalist. Defining those terms in the context of how she will lead a country requires one simple review of the Founding Fathers. She has never allowed religion to interfere with her duties as a servant to the people—ever. She has forever listened to the voice of the people—always. She has in all public duties eschewed obfuscation—consistently. She is the one true voice of the people—and so too have her soldiers, her armies, always been.

This city on the hill has grown dim. Sarah Louise Palin is the lantern to light that torch for the world to once again turn towards.  (Christopher Massie, Vetting Sarah Palin, the Assignment of a Lifetime, Canada Free Press, more)

Is it any wonder why the Democrats and Liberals in particular trying to destroy Sarah Palin and the TEA party movement?

Sarah Palin is the driving force behind the opposition to Barack Obama and his socialist agenda.   She and the TEA party are the replacement for the establishment, career politicians and the agenda they have allowed to happen.

As Barack shrinks before a job he was never qualified for, Sarah Palin rises to perhaps what was her true calling - vanguard of the second American Revolution, a conservative revolution, a revolution that never would have taken place had she and John McCain won the 2010 election. (Right, Wing-Nut)

One Democratic strategist said “We need to get out the message that it’s now really dangerous to re-empower the Republican Party...”   News Flash!  It won't be the old Republican party, with a large number of RINOs who vote with Barack Obama -- it will be a new and improved Republican party, Conservative, Constitutional, and ready to go to work removing the damage done over the past 2 years.

WHY Palin and the TEA party?  Because with them the United States will be strong on defense, strong on foreign policy, just plain strong!

Her positions on the role of government and federalism, on fiscal policy and free markets, on foreign policy and national defense, on energy policy, and on the exceptionalism of America itself all ring true for me. And, though I mostly don’t share it, I admire her religious faith for the confidence and strength of character it gives her. Sarah Palin has something sorely lacking in the current administration: integrity.

And there are evidently a lot of Americans who share my opinion. Sure, her favorable/unfavorable numbers are upside down right now, but I ascribe that to a concerted Democrat and MSM effort to destroy her because they recognize the political threat she poses to their power. As more and more people see her by means unfiltered and unprocessed by the mainstream media (aka, The DNC Marketing Department), I’m convinced those numbers will move in the opposite direction.  (Sister Toldjah)

Do you feel safe and secure financially and militarily with our current administration or would you feel more secure with a Ronald Reagan-like President and Congress?  Do you feel comfortable with an administration that sues a State because they try to secure their borders?  Do you feel comfortable with politicians that think they know better how to spend your money?  Do you feel comfortable with a President that clearly has sympathies for our enemies and the enemies of Israel?  Do you?  That's WHY Sarah Palin and the TEA party are so popular.  

Sarah Palin and the TEA party participants are the REAL THING.

Interesting that Canadians can see things a lot of Americans didn't. Maybe this election will mark a turning point where an American majority realizes they can't "let Joe do it" and take up their civic duty.

[GoneWithTheWind]

My mother was very good at instilling in me a sense I was better. At least better then I was acting at that moment. She subtly pushed me in the right directions with praise and belief that I was capable of bigger and better things. When I hear someone saying about our country and our people that we are better then (insert negative example here) I don't think they are either trying to put down others or gloss over our faults. I think they are trying to urge us all to live up to the high standards that all (or certainly most) humans believe in. Clearly we are no better then Canadians, Europeans, Australians, etc. (I left out third world countries and communist dictatorships simply because of their obvious lack of national achievements not because the individuals are inferior.) I would hope that every country has leaders and prominent people who urge their citizens on to greater success.

[Debbie]

Howard: Yes, seems others from outside the US are more astute than some here. Australians, some in the UK, Canadians, I've heard from them all.

GoneWithTheWind: Nicely said. There is nothing wrong in believing that we are special, because as Americans we are. There is no other country like this one!

[courtneyme109]

Let me put this bluntly: virtually no one in America gives a damn what Barack Obama says about anything at this point. What could be more predictable, and less interesting, than Obama’s opinion on any given subject?

Who wants to contemplate the economic wisdom of a guy who looted the Treasury for a trillion dollars, with less benefit than we could have achieved by stuffing hundred dollar bills into random cereal boxes?

Who’s excited to hear about the next plan to convert taxpayer dollars into Democrat campaign funds? Who’s hungry for another hour of tedious excuses about permanently broken markets and the titanic dead hand of George W. Bush? Who wants a lecture on ethical business practices from the titular head of the party that gave us Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters?

What use is another hollow foreign-policy speech from a man who sees no global adversary to rival the menace of Arizona? Even Obama’s supporters don’t hear anything he says any more. There’s nothing left to hear.

Palin, on the other hand, commands attention. Lots of it comes from people who dislike her, of course, but she definitely gets people talking. Many of her detractors have a surprising ability to quote her verbatim, stretching back for weeks. Obama’s critics need Google searches to remember what he said yesterday. They can only recall that it was boring, and expensive.
