and what is your excuse?
From Gov. Palin's legal counsel:
To the extent several websites, most notably liberal Alaska blogger Shannyn Moore, are now claiming as “fact” that Governor Palin resigned because she is “under federal investigation” for embezzlement or other criminal wrongdoing, we will be exploring legal options this week to address such defamation. This is to provide notice to Ms. Moore, and those who re-publish the defamation, such as Huffington Post, MSNBC, the New York Times and The Washington Post, that the Palins will not allow them to propagate defamatory material without answering to this in a court of law. The Alaska Constitution protects the right of free speech, while simultaneously holding those “responsible for the abuse of that right.” Alaska Constitution Art. I, Sec. 5. These falsehoods abuse the right to free speech; continuing to publish these falsehoods of criminal activity is reckless, done without any regard for the truth, and is actionable.
And note this:
A day after Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin resigned, a federal official in her home state dismissed one potential explanation for her sudden and unexpected resignation: a rumored FBI investigation into the former Wasilla mayor on public corruption charges. Despite rumors of a looming controversy after the Republican governor's surprise announcement Friday that she would leave office this month, some of them published in the blogosphere, the FBI's Alaska spokesman said the bureau had no investigation into Palin for her activities as governor, as mayor or in any other capacity.
"There is absolutely no truth to those rumors that we're investigating her or getting ready to indict her," Special Agent Eric Gonzalez said in a phone interview Saturday. "It's just not true." He added that there was "no wiggle room" in his comments for any kind of inquiry.

I have some news that you, as a conservative, are going to love. Virtually no one in the liberal media is reporting this – because they know you, as a conservative, will love it.
Despite what you’ve been hearing in the leftist press for months about conservatism in America being dead, just-released polling data from Gallup and Rasmussen indicate that not only isn’t conservatism dead, it’s actually on the rise!
In fact, America is making a mad dash toward conservatism!
According to Gallup, “Americans, by a 2-to-1 margin, say their political views in recent years have become more conservative rather than more liberal, 39% to 18%.” Perhaps even more telling is that last month 40% of Americans polled called themselves conservative—the highest level since 2004! Only 21% of Americans consider themselves liberal, according to the poll.
As conservatives, we are not alone! In fact, more Americans are moving in our direction.
And guess what else the leftist news media aren’t reporting? They aren’t reporting that America is rejecting Obama’s socialism.
Obama’s approval rating is free-falling on economic issues. The latest Rasmussen poll reports that 56% of Americans rate Obama fair or poor on the economy compared to 50% just one week ago.
It’s clear from these two highly respected polling agencies that reports on the death of conservatism are just more liberal media lies!
[/font]
++ Bringing the Truth to Light …
Of course we can’t expect Obama’s liberal media lapdogs to report these trends. These are the same liberal media that failed to report that Obama’s trillion-dollar “stimulus” bill is a disaster. Rather than reducing unemployment as he promised, we now have the highest unemployment rate in more than 25 years!
No. The liberal media are not interested in balanced reporting or telling the truth. They are too consumed with selling the American people on Obama’s socialist buffet of government power grabs. First it was the banks and insurance giants. Then the auto companies. Now they are focused on two of the biggest intrusions of the government into the private sector yet – a radical health care takeover plan and a massive Energy Tax scheme.
But as Americans discover Obama’s true intent to reshape our nation

Congressman Mike Pence just called to alert me that he and his fellow Congressman and free speech champion Greg Walden will try to have the Broadcaster Freedom Act – which will help protect talk radio from Obama’s FCC – added as an amendment to the Financial Services budget bill on Tuesday.
But Congressman Pence tells me that Speaker Pelosi won’t allow it – UNLESS WE DEMAND THAT SHE DO SO.
So we need you – our valued MRC Action team members – to locate your Representatives phone number here and call and fax them today, all weekend, and all day Monday, and demand that he or she tell Speaker Pelosi to allow a full, fair up or down vote on the Broadcaster Freedom Amendment.
The time is now to protect talk radio! Please, pick up the phone and start dialing right away. And don’t stop; we need you to call all weekend long and all day Monday.
This is one of those vital moments, Ladies and Gentlemen. Please call your Representative right now, and keep it going throughout the weekend and on Monday.
Thank you for this, and for all you do for free speech and the MRC.
L. Brent Bozell, IIIP.S. Reinforce your phone calls by faxing key members of Congress. -

Simple lesson,hard message.
An economics teacher made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class.
--------------------------------------------
That class had insisted that President Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The teacher then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and 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 and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the teacher 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.
Could not be any simpler than that.

Blogger Wins Award Named For Soviet Agent
A video of Greenwald's "Izzy Award" acceptance speech, in which he attacks the "corporate media," is available at Salon.com. But you have to watch a corporate ad before it appears.
The other recipi-ent of the "Izzy" award from the Park Center for Indepen-dent Media was Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!, a radio and TV program, who may be best known for interviewing people like Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn (in their "first joint broadcast interview" after the 2008 presidential election!) and the lawyers for cop-killers and Black Liberation Army members Herman Bell and Anthony Bottom, now on trial in San Francisco for another cop-killing. Her co-host, Juan Gonzalez, was a member of the SDS, led by Weatherman Mark Rudd, which closed down Columbia University in 1968.
In a Huffington Post commentary on the personnel in the Obama Administration, Ayers said he would have preferred Goodman as President Obama's press secretary.

Dear Associates,
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me, since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.
So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change, I gave it to them.
I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.
Best Regards,

After listening to the entire interview, he states that "If he in fact deserted from his unit" he wouldn't mind what the Taliban did to him. This is probably the belief of anyone who served. You don't desert in time of war. IF he did in fact desert, which is unknown. Although, the army says he just "walked off the base camp". Not that he lagged behind in a patrol. I have to see more facts on this. Something isn't right here.

It's not a misleading quote; it's just one that you agree with on an emotional level. And I doubt you actually believe that the soldier shouldn't be rescued. Or that it'd be great if the Taliban killed a soldier suspected of desertion.

545 vs 300,000,000
EVERY CITIZEN NEEDS TO READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS JOURNALIST HAS SCRIPTED IN THIS MESSAGE. READ IT AND THEN REALLY THINK ABOUT OUR CURRENT POLITICAL DEBACLE.
Charley Reese has been a journalist for 49 years.
545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget.. The president does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it.. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red ..
If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.
Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

What you do with this article now that you have read it.......... Is up to you..
This might be funny if it weren't so darned true.
Be sure to read all the way to the end:
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.
Tax his tractor,

Anyway!
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.
Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid..
Put these words
Upon his tomb,
Taxes drove me
to my doom...'
When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the hell happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'
And I still have to 'press 1' for English!?

Typical journalistic approach in a headline. Such as the word "denies", insinuates that someone is lying.
