Four years after goin' rogue and being another crazy voice on Fox News, 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is trying to reassure Obama-haters that everything will be all right—even if the newly re-elected President is a Muslim from Kenya. In a Facebook message today, she writes, "America, don’t lose heart. This election is not an “Obama mandate,” nor is it a rejection of conservatism. Unanswered ads like this one running in blue collar swing states defined Romney early on, and the Obama media also piled on with the narrative that Romney would harm the middle class. (As I personally have witnessed, once a bell is rung by a biased media, it’s impossible to un-ring it.) Ironically, it’s Obama’s socialist policies that will destroy America’s working class as he outsources opportunities."
She continues, "Hang in there, America. Fight for what is right. Don’t look to government or any politician to solve your problems. Government can’t make you happy, healthy, wealthy or wise." (Hmm, talk to Governor Christie about that.) Then Palin ends with:
Obama is a master at reading the right “soaring” words fed into his teleprompter, but actions speak louder than words. So, hold tight to 2 Corinthians 4:8 because we’re in for a wild ride.
We must survive. United. One nation under God.
"We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted but not forsaken, struck down, but not destroyed." - 2 Corinthians 4:8-9.
Palin was also complaining on Fox News about the "catastrophic" prospect of four more years under President Obama, "I just cannot believe, though, that the majority of Americans would believe that incurring more debt is good for our economy, for our children’s futures, for job creators." Incurring debt—wasn't that in Romney's playbook, too?
