I’m always surprised by the courage a Sarah Palin for standing up as a conservative leader. A lot of people don’t get this. They see her taking in thousands of dollars, and then calling it greed. It isn’t. It’s safety. Let’s put this into perspective.
Sarah Palin is a public figure. She is the kind of person who could and would make great inroads in protecting freedom. The enemies of freedom, people such as the members of Al Qaeda, kill people who believe in and protect freedom. They strap bombs to themselves and blow themselves up to kill people who believe in and protect freedom. That’s how serious they are.
They blow up large buildings with stolen jetliners. They start wars. They have no moral sense.
When Sarah Palin publicly stands up for freedom and American values, she puts herself into our enemy’s crosshairs. Every time she goes out in public she takes a chance that some freedom hating kook will take her out. Every time she walks along a country road, she is taking a chance that some terrorist sniper will shoot her. Every time she meets a group she takes a chance that one of them will strap explosives to themselves to blow up people in the crowds near her. With the underwear bombers, the one that was caught last Christmas trying to blow up an jet liner, and another that tried to blow up a Saudi prince last year, we see that they have the ability to suicide bomb anyone they can get close to.
I bet she gets at least one death threat per day.
That is what Sarah Palin gets up and faces every morning.
I don’t have inside information about the security arrangements of a Sarah Palin event, but we know that security has to be tight. That means expenses. That means that events have to cost money; at least enough to cover the costs of security.
When I read that seats cost $500 each at the upcoming Tea Party convention where Sarah Palin is speaking and I read that she is receiving however much money it is she gets for speaking, I know that most of that a lot of that money is going to security.
It takes a a hell of a lot of guts to do what Sarah Palin is doing.
Stumble it!

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackShe’s likelier to fall over and kill herself rather than be taken out by snipers. I mean, you REALLY think she’d make a good president? Just because every sentence contains the words “American”, “freedom”, “folks”, “God” and that’s about it?
Jeez. Scary.
Do you have any idea why guys like me think guys like you are mentally ill? I’m completely serious in asking this question.
I understand your point, but how is she any different than the thousands of other political people that do the same thing every day? The person with the most courage is Obama, being the first black president, you’d think he would have had attempts on life already. I don’t think anyone who dislikes Sarah, wants to take her out, she’s the worst the party has to offer.
i would have to agree with Jason, and i really dont understand why Mike is considered mentally ill by anyone. His comment was very rational to me. I think Sarah Palin’s reason for doing what she is doing far outmeasures her “security expenses”. She is obviously doing it for the money, and because of her decision, she is definitely a target. Terrorist do not discriminate, if they see you on TV, you are a target for them. They would have killed michael jackson just to be able to say that al queda was responsible, and get some airtime. I think Obama is very brave, because at anytime, he can be taken out by the original terrorists, the KKK, skinheads, or any other white supremist group. To tell you the truth, homegrown terrorist scare me more than islamic terrorist. My great great grandfather was lynched by white men, who were terrorist. Also, i fail to understand her message: what freedoms do we have to protect? who is taking them away? i am american, and none of my freedoms have been snatched; i can drink at any water fountain, i can attend any church, and i dont have to sit in the back of the bus. . . if your freedom and sarah palin’s freedom are being compromised, it’s probably a good thing for me, lol. . .
Either all three of you guys are all mentally ill, or you are some of those paid political operatives who go around the Internet messing with anti-Obama bloggers. I can never tell which is which. In either case you are typical Obama supporters, and millions of people just like me know beyond a reasonable doubt that you are just plain nuts.
