Palin Strikes Back by Rich Lowry, New York Post

“Harry Truman gave them hell. Sarah Palin gives them agita.”  

“It's September 2008 all over again. All the same players are lining up to put a good hate on Palin.” 

“The contempt of her enemies only increases the ardor of her fans.”

Why the Left Fears Sarah by Bob Weir, American Thinker

“Have you ever seen so much hatred for, and vitriolic criticism of, someone who had only a brief stint on the national political stage? More than a year after the presidential election in which Sarah Palin, as the GOP nominee for Vice-President, campaigned for about three months, she is still being pilloried by the left-wing loons as though she had been elected and were actively engaged in dismantling the liberal establishment.” 

“Couric and Gibson are liberal journalists who live for those gotcha moments when they can embarrass a conservative and get a round of high-fives at the next penthouse cocktail party on Central Park West. In contrast, Obama's interviewers seemed like they were more interested in dating him than they were in getting answers to questions.” 

“What this country needs is a strong conservative leader with the courage of her convictions. Sensing those qualities in Sarah Palin, the liberal left is becoming frantic because they can't seem to halt her popularity.” 

Hammering Sarahby Bill O’Reilly, Human Events

“Somehow Palin has gotten under the skin of the far left.” 

“My theory is that liberal America fears Palin.” 

Sarah Palin dines with the Rev. Billy Graham in NCAssociated Press

“Sarah Palin was having dinner Sunday with the Rev. Billy Graham a day before a planned book tour stop in eastern North Carolina.” 

“Franklin Graham invited Palin.”

Sarah Palin's Book Tourby Michael Sean Winters, American Magazine

“No one in America, not even President Barack Obama, is as compelling a figure in our nation’s political life as Sarah Palin. She twitters, and they are talking about it on the news that night. She shows up and the adoring crowds throng to see her. The publishing industry is in free fall, with writers taking the greatest hit and working for smaller and smaller advances and salaries, but Palin’s advance was huge and her book tour is the most talked about book tour in history.”

“They share her sense of grievance against the media and other elites. Palin combines the anger of the Perotistas with the fervor of the religious right. One thing about Palin’s future is clear: We will all get to watch it because, for our different reasons, we can’t take our eyes off her.”

“I am not a betting man but I would not bet against Sarah Palin’s ability to dominate the Republican nominating process in 2012.” 

Palin in 2012? by Alan Dowd, Front Page Magazine 

“Sarah Palin is a political force to be reckoned with. This is the real reason she drew so much ire from the Left in 2008. And it’s the same reason she may give some Republicans pause in 2012.” 

Palin Book Tour in Des Moines Looks Like Whistle Stop for Iowa Caucasusby John Carpenter, The Admonition

 “A recent piece by Thomas Beaumont suggested that Sarah Palin is beginning to catch fire in Iowa and state republicans are cozying up to the woman that puts the reptilian brain of many democrats into overdrive.” 

“No matter how you look at it, Sarah Palin is one of the hottest (there’s nothing sexist intended there) politicians to break onto the American scene since JFK.” 

“Obama, in my opinion, is oil slick but just a little rattled; Palin is white hot but paradoxically cool.” 

“So, circle December 6th on your calendar. That will be the first time Sister Palin and her Traveling Salvation Show will roll into Iowa”

Commentary:

 Prayer is needed NOW!

The Senate Democrats have just unveiled their version of a Health Care bill which Senator Reid wants to bring to its first vote this weekend (11/20-21). 

The horrid nature of these efforts is well-known. Analyses of these 2,000 pages of wickedness will soon be forthcoming. 

However, if you like the administration’s new cost-cutting and life-threatening edicts regarding breast cancer screening, you will love Pelosi/Obama/Reid Care (see articles below).

I believe it is inspired by the devil!

Please PRAY NOW! 

The BATTLE has been engaged. 

DO NOT LOOK AWAY! God expects you to FIGHT and RESIST this EVIL!  (Neh 4:14; Jms 4:7; 1 Jn 3:8)

Commentary:

As you know, the Speaker of the House of Representatives on Saturday night (when few people except “policy wonks” were paying attention) FORCED through a vote in favor of so-called health care “reform”. 

As you can read in the articles listed below (as well as many in previous Alerts), this “reform” is not about your “health”. It’s about TAKING OVER YOUR LIFE.

It will:

·        Severely impact your own medical care;  

·        Increase your waiting time;  

·        Cut Medicare payments to doctors and general Medicare availability;  

·        Dramatically raise taxes for everyone (not just the “rich”); 

·        Raise the deficit astronomically;  

·        Pay for ABORTIONS with your taxes (the Democrats have promised their supporters to insert it later);  

·        Retard research and development of new drugs and devices;  

·        Put decisions about your medical care in the hands of humanistic, pagan bureaucrats instead of your own doctor;  

·        Cause thousands of doctors to quit;  

·        Make you comply with mandates hidden in the 2,000 pages or pay huge fines or go to jail;  

·        And on it goes, 2000 unread pages worth. 

This is EVIL ungodly legislation; Its motives and purposes are evil; its implementation, if it becomes law, will be disastrous for you, your family, and for your whole country. 

It must be defeated in the Senate.

Its perpetrators must be HUMBLED and RETIRED! Your life may depend on it!

Will Medical Innovation Survive Health Care Reform? by Susan Malinowski and Gary Shapiro, Let Freedom Ring 

“Today, the United States is the leader in innovative health care. Most major medical breakthroughs, new procedures and drug treatments are invented, developed, tested and offered in America first.” 

“First, any health care policy overhaul should recognize that innovation and treatments of serious maladies comes mostly from specialists. Current proposals cut Medicare reimbursement levels for specialists.” 

“A shortage of specialists is not a threat but a near-certain consequence if the health care proposals on the table become law. Scores of doctors in many fields we have talked to will leave medicine rather than lose money on each patient as Medicare reimbursements decrease and malpractice payments increase.” 

Hypocritic OathOp-Ed, Investors 

“Congressional Democratic leaders insist on a government health coverage option. But if it's so great, why won't they themselves be covered by it?”

What the Pelosi Health-Care Bill Really Saysby Betsy McCaughey

“What the government will require you to do:

“Sec. 202 (p. 91-92) of the bill requires you to enroll in a ‘qualified plan’.”

“‘Secretary of Health and Human Services will decide what a ‘qualified plan’ covers”

“Sec. 1402 (p. 756) says that the results of comparative effectiveness research conducted by the government will be delivered to doctors electronically to guide their use of ‘medical items and services.’” 

What Women Want on Health Care by Heather Richardson Higgins, Wall Street Journal Online

“One key finding is that most women like their own care. Three out of four (74%) rate their own health care as good or excellent, and 77% think the quality of the care they receive is equal to or better than what others receive.”

“Nearly half of the women in IWF's survey (46%) worry that government-run health care will result in more doctors leaving medicine. More than half (51%) think it will cause a decline in the quality of health care.”

“Women also oppose the rush: Only 16% see health care as the top issue”

“You're afraid your cancer is back, and a health insurance company just turned you down… You may have to be uninsured for six months to qualify.”

“Republican Rep. Joe Wilson proposed an amendment Wednesday that would force all members of Congress to receive health insurance coverage through the government-run plan proposed in the House's reform bill… ‘If the public option is good enough for the American people, then it's certainly good enough for Congress,’ Wilson said. ‘If this government-run plan is so good, why don't members of Congress take the plan?’”

Tea Partiers Using N.Y. Race as Training Ground by Donald Lambro

“For many in the rapidly expanding ‘tea party’ movement, this fall's special House race in upstate New York was a ‘training ground’ that taught its cadre of loosely organized grass-roots activists how to challenge both major parties and has only whetted the movement's appetite for the 2010 midterm elections.”
