Sarah Palin: Smarter than every member of the Obama Administration, combined:
There is no shortage of threats to our economy. America’s unemployment rate recently hit its highest mark in more than 25 years and is expected to continue climbing. Worries are widespread that even when the economy finally rebounds, the recovery won’t bring jobs. Our nation’s debt is unsustainable, and the federal government’s reach into the private sector is unprecedented…
…I am deeply concerned about President Obama’s cap-and-trade energy plan, and I believe it is an enormous threat to our economy. It would undermine our recovery over the short term and would inflict permanent damage.
American prosperity has always been driven by the steady supply of abundant, affordable energy. Particularly in Alaska, we understand the inherent link between energy and prosperity, energy and opportunity, and energy and security. Consequently, many of us in this huge, energy-rich state recognize that the president’s cap-and-trade energy tax would adversely affect every aspect of the U.S. economy.
Energy is liberty – in ancient times, to own one’s land and be free to use it at will was the engine of human liberty…today, after a disastrous century of applied liberalism, the source of individual liberty has changed…forced off the land, we now require ready access to cheap energy in order to have the ability to build wealth safe from government control. Instinctively, liberals sense this, and are thus determined to restrict our access to energy…to make us dependent upon government for what we can have, and what we can do with it.
Obama’s “cap and trade” scam will allow the mega-corporations he’s buddy/buddy with to live…but will make it very hard for someone new to enter and industry, and that is the real point of “cap and trade”: Control. Remember, to our liberals it is our unfettered ability to do what we please outside the bedroom which is the problem (liberals will die in the last ditch to defend our right to get laid…but that is as far as the liberal concept of liberty goes)….all these Americans who want to make things, build things, do things…all of it without a government license and not at all related to a desire to save Gaia from the perdition of human liberty. Can’t have any of that.
Sarah Palin – she being one of us, the people – understands this very easily, and thus understands how hard we must fight against this “cap and trade” boondoggle. In a small way, this may be considered the opening shot of the 2012 campaign, even if Palin decides against running. Time is running out for American liberty, but it hasn’t run out altogether…we can preserve this City on a Hill, if we fight for it.
