Way to go, Sarah Palin!

I applaud her for her actions of stepping down and speaking out for this country. She was finally at liberty to give the media and this current administration the one-two and knock-out punch that they so much deserve.

We need more politicians who are not cowards and are willing to do something to protect this country and our rights. The way the media treated her was terrible. She is what an American should be, committed to uphold our constitution, proud of our soldiers and fight to protect our freedoms.

Our current administration is destroying Americans' right to freedoms and pursuit of happiness. The current administration is going to put many more small businesses out of business and many more on the unemployment line. President Obama stated he was going to bring change and he has. If we are not careful, it is going to do so much damage to this country that we may not be able to get it back. Health care needs fixed but not a socialistic approach that would cost tax payers more. Nothing is free. My health insurance is costly, yes, but I do not want government telling me how I have to treat my health issues. I want to know that I can receive care when needed, not a month later and only if the government approves it.

Obama would have our elderly just go home and be made comfortable and die. They used to put a guy in jail for assisted suicide, his name was Dr. Kevorkian. Isn't that Obama's plan, just let the old die? Of course, our president and congress get the very best health care insurance at our cost.

This cap and trade bill will raise our cost of energy, put restrictions on us as homeowners, and put restrictions on those farmers who raise the food we eat. We all need to be more like Sarah Palin and start speaking out for this country, our constitution, and our rights as Americans. Our forefathers fought to give us that, don't let this president and his administration destroy it.
