Palin's Go On The Record **UPDATED

Sarah interview at the snow machine races can be seen at this link. 

**UPDATE: 

We've had some commenter's, who always like to come here and only point out those "gotcha" moments of conservatives in the MSM, who are saying "AHA!! Bristol said abstinence is not realistic, so what do you have to say about THAT?" Well, I do have an answer. Two, in fact. First, whether Bristol, or the Pope himself, said abstinence isn't realistic, I would still say ABSTINENCE WORKS EVERY SINGLE TIME IT IS TRIED! A person putting themselves in a situation to have sex outside of marriage simply needs to remember that keeping her legs together or keeping it in his pants is the best way to prevent pregnancy! That's just a fact! It's a little thing called personal responsibility, something fewer and fewer people seem to know anything about these days. We've passed laws against murder, but that doesn't deter some people from committing murder. Because some people still commit murder, does that mean that we are wrong to discourage others from doing the same? NO! The same logic applies in both cases. Secondly, I watched the entire interview, aired two nights. If you heard the interview in its entire context, Bristol was saying that it isn't realistic that every teenager is going to abstain from sex...not in this day and age. The context (something I know you liberals known are incapable of utilizing) in which Bristol was speaking on this subject was directly related to the subject of "okay, I'm pregnant, what now?" I still stand by my comments earlier this year. Bristol is to be commended for taking the tough road, though unpopular in today's world, and choosing LIFE. Many take the cowardly route and kill the unborn child to cover up their mistakes or to erase the mistake as if it never happened. Now, Bristol seems to have been forced to grow up very quickly, face life, finish school, and be a mommy. She is very blessed to have a family who has pitched in to help her during this time: that's what strong families do. So, what do I think of her statement? I think I heard exactly what she said, and in the context in which she said it, I agree with her. It's a sad fact: teens have been duped into believing murder is a better choice than abstaining from sex. The sad fact is, they will pay dearly, mentally and physically, for the rest of their lives for the choices they have made. Abstinence is ALWAYS the best choice. Wait for marriage, kids. You'll be SO glad you did. 

Are YOU Proud To Be An American?

Comments are left here often by liberals...as recently as this morning...suggesting that conservatives are no longer proud of our country, and that they, liberal Democrats, can finally be proud of America now that Obama is in office. 

I felt the need to write about it here, because I see this as one of the fundamental differences between liberals and conservatives. We all heard the now infamous comment by then wife of the Democrat Presidential nominee, now first lady Michelle Obama: "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback." I find it incredibly pathetic that one would base her pride in her country on whether or not a Democrat or Republican is in the White House.

So, just for the record: because we have a socialist in the White House doesn't mean I, a conservative Republican, am no longer proud of my country. Embarrassed by the lack of leadership we now have in the White House? Yes. Sorry that we now appear weak to the entire world? Yes. Proud to have been born in the greatest country on earth? You bet I am! No matter WHO occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, I am still in awe of this great nation and all that she stands for. My pride in my country is not based on a "single snapshot in history", but rather on her nearly 233 years of rich and amazing history. I could list for you countless reasons as to why I am PROUD to be an American...the list is endless...but I'd like to hear from you, the reader! Why are YOU proud to be an American? Click on the comment icon below and share with us why it is that you are thankful, and PROUD, to have the great privilege of being an American. 

**By the way, if you're a liberal, and you plan to leave the usual snarky comments, which I am already getting, know that your comments will be posted in their rightful place, at this location, and not under this post. 

Happy Birthday Sarah! We love and appreciate you! 

Melt The Phones, Republicans!

The Continued Attack on Rush

Michelle Malkin did an excellent piece in the New York Post this week entitled "The Rush Revival: Deranged Dems' Obsession With Limbaugh Will Be Their Undoing". You can read it here. She adds a few additional comments about her interview with Rush on her blog, in a post called "Rush Derangement Syndrome". 

Post Traumatic BDS Syndrome

Had to share the picture below that I found first on a story Michelle Malkin did on "Post Traumatic BDS Syndrome", and then followed it to this site (Post Secret blog). Explains a lot, huh?!

What Do Conservatives Believe, Part Two: GOD Is The Cornerstone of Our Republic

I am thrilled to have found the book, "The Conservative's Handbook (Defining the Right Position on Issues from A to Z)", by Phil Valentine, a few weeks ago. It is chock-full of "facts, not emotions", and it is the study on which I am basing this series of posts on conservative principles.

One major difference between liberals and conservatives is this:

"the writings of our Founding Fathers leave [absolutely] no doubt that belief in GOD was, and is, the cornerstone of our republic".  

Want to hear something that I would venture to say most Americans do not know?

"There is NO such thing as separation of church and state in the U.S. Constitution. It is nowhere to be found in the entire document. The First Amendment simply states,"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". It articulates a freedom OF religion, not a freedom FROM it."

Now, to understand the original intent of the founding fathers, it's necessary to do our homework, and in The Conservative's Handbook, Valentine has done it for us. I encourage you to get a copy for yourself and study it--you will be amazed. In short,

"the individual state constitutions laid down the law regarding church and state"

and in fact, many states required that if a man was to become a politician, he must first be a man who believed in God.  It wasn't until the courts began to completely disregard or misinterpret the U.S. Constitution that such a fuzzy line was drawn, and so many people were led to believe that, according to the Constitution,  God-and anyone professing to be a practicing Christian- is to be left out of any government entity. Not so. In fact, our founding fathers "were protecting the states from an overbearing federal government".  Guess what constitution DOES mandate separation of church and state? That would be the Soviet Union Constitution, chapter 7, article 52, section 2, which states:

"In the USSR, the church is separated from the state, and the school from the church."

Interesting, don't you think? Does this mean that every conservative is a born again Christian? No. It means that conservatives believe that the idea of inalienable rights is exclusively a biblical idea. The right to be free is given by our Creator--there's a reason why there are no naturally occurring Islamic or Buddhist democracies. GOD is the cornerstone of our republic. HE is our foundation. 

Some Interesting Links

These will be added in our links section, but thought all of them important enough to list here. 

First, here are some links that will take you to sites where you can research the stimulus, a.k.a. pork bill that is due to be voted on by the Senate this week. 

• Stimulus Watch
  
• Read the Stimulus Bill
  

This link is just a fun link to an excellent video that a fellow conservative blogger put together.
