Report: Palin parts ways with Fox News

Congrats, bluefox. It was a well deserved page turn.

Huzzah!!!

Time to start getting the Gulch ready for a big celebration tonight.

I wonder what Bmore’s been carving out of wood…

And, another post caught up in moderation… Too many linkies… Durnit.

Fallon on June 13, 2013 at 7:16 PM

Looks like we kept this thread going until Sarah’s return!!

bluefox on June 13, 2013 at 10:33 PM

Weird timing… I’ve almost stopped watching Fox completely. They have really ticked me off with commentators like NPR Juan. He’s been more than repaid for the indignities that he suffered at the hands of his fellow liberals. Time to let him go.

I just might have to tune in to see Governor Palin again… Roger Ailes knows which side of his bread is buttered.

Dammit. I took too long posting and left the screen door open.

*Spraying Febreze*

Newest scent… Alaskan Springtime. Not kidding.

Mornin’ Gulchers. Coffee’s on and a case of Febreze just arrived at the back door. Weird. Either Bmore ordered it or Sarah’s Gulch just picked up a sponsor, lol.

Yesterday, I was dragging my feet about going in to see my mom. (One of a couple of things I did not want to do yesterday.) And, I had a very interesting visit.

The day before yesterday, I had sat with my granddaughter and untangled a few of her mommy’s junk jewelry necklaces. Daughter is in musical theater and has a treasure trove of fake jewelry that she has left at my house (along with costumes and boxes of shoes.) Why don’t they take all their stuff with them when they move out?

Anyway, granddaughter and I must have played for over an hour together putting necklaces on and off and opening and closing lockets. One of the necklaces had a star beads on it. Granddaughter would hold the necklace up and point to the stars, and I would say “stars” and she would repeat her version of the word.

Well, when I went in to see my mom, they had her sitting at a table with a drawer full of tangled necklaces. Mom was untangling them and putting them in piles. That alone would have made me smile but, there, in the mix of fake pearls, chains and shell necklaces, was the same star necklace that my granddaughter had been playing with the day before.

And, that would have been an amazing coincidence, but after talking to my mom about my granddaughter (her great granddaughter) and the necklaces, my mom leaned over and kissed me on the cheek.

That has not happened in a very long time. I had happy tears in my eyes as I left the nursing home yesterday. I was dreading the trip, as she has continued her downward slide but I was rewarded in so many ways. That’s all. Just wanted to share that.

Interesting speaker introducing Prince Prius. Paraphrasing, people are trying to pit fiscal conservatives and social conservatives… That’s true.

Fallon on June 15, 2013 at 9:47 AM

Not diggin’ the little prince’s talk.

Thanks. I’ve looked through all my cable channels and I think the internet link you posted is the only one carrying the Faith and Freedom conference.

CSpan2 has a white dude with long dreadlocks talking about social justice through social media. He actually said something to the effect that computers were supposed to bring about an equalizing utopia but now computers are unequal… My brain hurts just listening to him.

Oh, Bolton is on now. I’m not as enthusiastic about Bolton lately. How can he agree with looking in every haystack for needles, when we ignore the needle factory when doing so?

More coffee, more links, lol. Heck, I’m posting the entire article:

The Gladiator: Sarah Palin, We Need You Back in the Arena

By Lloyd Marcus

Hello, calling Sarah Palin! Has anyone seen her? Where is she? Has Sarah Palin left the building? Is the Palin magic gone forever? No. The Palin charisma and mass appeal are still alive and well.

Certain people are born gifted with “It” — something that compels you to watch them. Sarah Palin is one such individual. Though politically tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail by the left and a few spineless Republicans, I pray for the day when my favorite gladiator Sarah Palin returns to the arena.

Unquestionably, the vitriolic attacks on Palin and her family, the betrayals by Republicans and associates left Palin severely wounded. Who among us could endure and survive the full weight of the MSM launched to destroy you? It is quite understandable and reasonable for Palin to say, Forget this. Todd and I are goin’ fishin’.

But, the Bible says, to whom much is given, much is required. While Palin has not reported seeing a burning bush, I believe that she has been called for such a time as this. I pray she will feel led to return to Rome (Washington, D.C.) to fight in the arena. At the moment, there is no one on the national stage who inspires the masses to follow and act on their convictions like Palin.

Please allow me to share my personal testimony of the “Palin Effect.” With Sarah Palin as the keynote speaker, Tea Party Express launched one of its tours in Searchlight, NV, a small Dust Bowl town. Twenty-five thousand people showed up — RVs parked everywhere, because many had arrived days early to stake out their spot.

From inside our Tea Party Express tour bus, as we approached the site, I saw seniors parked a mile away, making their way to the event using walkers. It gave me goosebumps. Obviously, this woman, Sarah Palin, represented the America they loved and feared was slipping away.

Despite all of the scandals, lies, outrageous government overreaches, and abuses of our civil liberties under this administration, Obama still gets a pass in the minds of far too many ill-informed Americans. Decades of dumbing down students have produced exactly what the left wants: sheep totally dependent on government, clueless regarding U.S. history and the cost and value of freedom.

So Obama can ignore the Constitution and do whatever he pleases as long as the food stamps, disability checks, welfare checks, and free phones keep coming. Under Obama, an unprecedented half of the country are eating, talking on their phones, and driving without working for it — a Democratic party dream come true.

I asked friends at dinner, “How did Ronald Reagan win in a landslide touting Conservatism? Jerry Falwell and his Moral Majority was said to have figured in the mix. Americans, for the most part, are a moral and just people. I believe that Reagan touting values which spoke to the hearts and minds of decent people is what inspired Americans to be all they could be.”

I was a 20-something black kid from the East Baltimore projects back then. I knew nothing about politics. All I knew was that every time I heard President Reagan speak, I felt good about my country and myself. Reagan made me feel I could achieve and contribute to this wonderful country, in which I was blessed to be born, called America.

Where are the voices inspiring folks to love and contribute to the greatness of their country? I know, I know. Such talk sounds corny and naïve today. In Obama’s America, signing up for government assistance and approving of government confiscating the earnings of high achievers for redistribution is the new definition of compassion and patriotism.

Even being proud of our country is considered a bad thing under Obama. When outside the U.S., Obama continuously apologizes for who we are — furthering the narrative that the world has too little because we have too much. Amazingly, Reagan saw this mindset coming and warned us.

We need a hero, folks — someone willing to stand up for America, boldly waving our flag and touting the virtues of hard work, self-reliance, family, God, and country. I believe that Sarah Palin can pull it off.

Reading my own words sound a bit corny even to me. Folks, have we become so cynical, so tainted that asking Americans to strive for goodness and righteousness rather than becoming permanent government welfare recipients is an outdated, impossible dream of the past?

Sarah Palin, please come back. Run for office. We long to cheer you on as our gladiator in the arena.

…sorry!…I had to bring this down from upstairs…thought it was funny!

KOOLAID2 on June 16, 2013 at 11:40 AM

I wish I could read Mandarin or whatever language that’s in. Can’t help but feel a bit paranoid when that ad appears. It popped up here at the Gulch, too.

I’m tempted to click on it but… that never turns out well, lol.
