Stand up GOP and fight! You need to learn to fight like a girl!

GOP, what say you?  Let’s start to fight for this country and if a hockey mom from Alaska has gone through hell and back (no thanks to YOU!) what will it take to take the country back?

GOP Establishment-Are you willing to give some, and take some? Or let the US Constitution fly by, ignoring what this president has done to this country that WE THE PEOPLE love so much?

GOP contenders: BE UNAFRAID. THE GAME IS ON!

Are the GOP possible candidates too afraid of the media?

Are the GOP possible candidates too afraid of confrontation?

Are the GOP possible candidates unable to engage?

Are the GOP possible candidates proven leaders with expertise with the military-and respected BY the military?

Are the GOP possible candidates salivating to take on Barack Obama, look him in the eye and tell him ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?

NO MORE! IT STARTS NOW AND PLAY HARD CORE CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTION FOR AMERICANS!

 

Questions For Governor Palin With Regards To Revenue From TLC’s “Alaska”

I Can See Sarah Palin's Alaska From My Living Room

UPDATE: I added information on the bullet-point section below, with regards to Louisiana and Puerto Rico. I provided evidence of how Louisiana benefits from the film industry, and for those that don’t follow the “Twilight” series, Louisiana is where the film started. Right now they are still filming, but in Vancouver. A segment of the new “Pirates Of The Caribbean” was filmed in Puerto Rico. A proper link about that is below as well.

I hope that now this turns into a non-issue, considering how many incentives Obama has granted large corporations that have contributed to the Democrat Party.

Thanks, The Palin Express

It is still going on, my friends. Apparently, Governor Palin‘s Facebook post did not answer one of my reader’s questions. Therefore, I will place that comment here. I know the answers to these questions, as well as many of you who read here.

But I promised the best answers I could offer; therefore, I will attempt to get as close to the source as possible. The Daily Caller did not do their job as professionnal journalisms to distinguish or write about this mini-series. Homework on the matter could have easily been done and interview any and all people involved, and left her out of the picture. Unfortunately that was not the case.

So here it goes:

————————————————————————————————

I can’t help but notice that nowhere in her response does half-Governor Palin ever actually deny accepting the $1.2 Million from Alaska for her faux-reality television series.

All I see is more of Ms. Palin’s patent-pending “I’m a victim” reaction to the media accurately reporting her own words and actions, and then her railing against the “liberal media” for being “mean” to her. According to Ms. Palin, she is the single-most-often misquoted person in the history of the written word.

So, I will put the question in so simple a set of questions that even Sarah Palin won’t be able to misconstrue, divert, distort or distract from a simple yes-or-no answer:

Was “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” subsidized, fiscally augmented, reimbursed, credited or remunerated in any way, shape or form by the state government of Alaska? Yes or No.

Did your TLC television show “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” receive the aforementioned subsidy, fiscal augmentation, reimbursement, credit or remuneration because it became possible as the result of legislation you implemented as governor of Alaska in 2008? Yes or No.

Were you, Sarah Palin, or any investments or accounts held by you or for you, the recipient of ANY money – directly or indirectly – as a result of that Alaska payment/credit to the production company? Yes or No.

Do you believe that you should not be held accountable to the “feathering the nest” rule regarding legislators and profit from legislation? Yes or No.

Do you believe it is hypocritical of you to personally accept public money for a private television endeavor while you simultaneously speak out in favor of cutting funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting System? Yes or No.

No punches pulled there, Ms. Palin. No obscure, unclear questions. No sandbags. Just a series of simple, easy to answer, yes-or-no questions.

I challenge you to reply to them each with nothing more than a “yes” or “no” answer.

I decided to look up some blog pieces that cover this same topic, right before I tweet about this. Here are the links, below:

  • Doc Zero, at Human Events;
  • USA Today explains why Baton Rouge, LA was chosen to film part of “Breaking Dawn;”
  • On Location Vacations, website that shows ALL current films and their locations;
  • Stacy from C4P answers what entails tax credits, production and incentives for films/mini-series and other documentaries for states like Alaska;
  • Jim Geraghty at NRO posted an update that did NOT reflect the truth of Alaska’s incentives and tax breaks that Governor Palin, in a bi-partisan effort, signed into law in 1998 as part of her own agenda of “Back To The Future” where she’d benefit from filming “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” with TLC. State tax and federal taxes are totally different, and the state was the one that really got the benefit from its beauty and resources.
  • Louisiana benefits greatly on their tax incentives and they have a website where all the information is broken down, and all the films that are currently in agenda. I posted this information on Ace’s website who ponders about the same non-issue; nevertheless he’s getting slammed as well.
  • US Territories like Puerto Rico have also been excellent film locations, i.e., the new “Pirates Of The Caribbean“. Check out the carriage scene, the Fort, and the small private island. Scroll down where it says, “Fajardo, Puerto Rico”. The carriage scene, along with the fort was filmed in Old San Juan.

NOTE: Alaskans are quite happy about all the incoming tourism. How does GE feel about their benefits, tax breaks and “blind eyes” that they get from Obama?

So Much For Global Warming…Or Is It Climate Change?

I am in shock and awe at the lenghts those who claim that it’s getting hotter and hotter.  Por el contrario, mis amigos!  We drove great distances today, and witnessed firsthand the mess that is the mid-east of this country.  Not-enough-plow!  Cars ditched, trucks stuck on exits, cars on parkings so buried in snow, that there’s no way to tell what brand it is.  It’s basically insane!

Cleveland looks a bit better than Pittsburgh, definitely.  I was hoping and praying that the roads were taken care of, but I did not expect to see so much snow, that it was stopping trucks and ditching vehicles on both sides of the highway.  We are lucky that we felt safe in our car, but unfortunately our trip has been halted by such a nasty weather.  Dozens of folks stranded, laying down all over the place and inside hotels; just like on TV.  An airport with very few people, a crowded hotel and travel changes a mile a minute before we got stranded again.  Luckily, looks like we will make it out of Cleveland anytime soon.

Every time a situation like this unfolds, I want to thank two personalities:  Our bad-news Punxatawney Phil, for an accurate forecast-to the boos and dismay of the thousands that hoped for the better; and Al Gore, for showing once again what a fraud he is to this country, for the quick turnaround on the “climate change” meme, and for not crossing on my path anytime I have to deal with weather like this.  I bet there are many of us that feel the same way.

After all, what are we to do without our good friend Al when we need to park in a knee hip high full of snow, shovel-ready?
