Sarah Palin says the government wants to "control people"
By John Amato Friday Jun 05, 2009 10:43am
Sarah Palin is on a new jag or an old one actually. She's ranting about some New World Order nonsense and while introducing wingnut radio host Michael Regan in Alaska, told the audience that the government wants to control the lives of "the people."
Via CNN: Alaska governor Sarah Palin let loose Wednesday on the Obama administration for enacting fiscal policies that "fly in the face of principles" and "defy Economics 101."
Palin: We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population, and fearful lawmakers, being led to believe that big government is the answer, to bail out the private sector, because then government gets to get in there and control it," she said. "And mark my words, this is going to be next, I fear, bail out next debt-ridden states. Then government gets to get in there and control the people.
There's something pretty weird hearing the term "Economics 101," being uttered by Sarah because she showed little knowledge of economics on the campaign trail, but that being said...the right wing constantly is reaching out to the far depths of the conservative movement and are trying to instill more and more fear into that base which will only increase the violence that comes out of those merky depths. "People control," really Sarah? She should stop hanging out with nutty talk show hosts.
Just to help her out a little bit, it was under George Bush and conservative---neocon warhawks that the global financial markets melted down and led us down the path of being "afraid." And wasn't it under her governance that she took money from the oil companies and handed it out to her people?
It should just sit back and let the free market do its thing and, um, dispense the lucre…
In Alaska, where Palin is governor, natural resources are state-owned, and Alaska residents receive yearly dividend checks from a $30 billion state account built largely from oil royalties….
When home fuel and gas costs soared this year, Palin raised taxes on oil companies and used some of the money to boost residents' checks by $1,200. Every eligible man, woman and child got a record $3,269 this fall.
Even the grammar-challenged Governor knows there's word for that kind of redistributive policy. Starts with S.

My head hurts, can I go home yet?
Nope. The guberment won't let you go home.
Fear was the last administrations weapon of choice.
This administration is using hope.
Palin is such a joke, her illegitimate grand child is laughing!!
Catie Couric is STILL laughing.
...to make Lyin' Liz Cheney look smart.
Lol
wins the Zinger o' the day!
charmed, I'm sure! Thank ya, thank you also too, you betcha! :P
Ya Sure Ya Betcha!
as in tell us who we can marry, what we are allowed to do to our own bodies, put us on "suspected terrorist" lists for being environmentalists, etc.?
Fearful populations, as in constant reminders of terrorist attacks, being told we're hated for our freedom, being put on "suspected terrorist" lists, etc.?
Oh dear Dog, please let Stewart or Colbert see this...
And they will run with it.
Who is this bimbo again?
She's looking a little doughy:

Is bad when it comes to money
But totally fine when it comes to abortion, who you marry, what you do in bed with whom you want to do it with, etc.
I wasn't sure what to do in bed. Thank God for the GOP!
Yeah, leave that to the churches
Whether we belong to that church or not.
Palin doesn't like democracy interference.
what DOES she like?
ANYTHING?
"When Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where-- where do they go? It's Alaska."
And Sarah's still up there keeping an eye on
himthem (?) for all of you!dumbass.
Seriously crazy shit from a woman that wants the government to force women to carry dead fetuses to term.
force women to carry dead fetuses to term.
To the airport?
That's where the terminal is.
Yeah, you keep thinking that...
talk about drinking the kool-aid.
isn't this waste part of teh guv'mint?
speaks, the more she shows the world her complete and total hypocrisy.

I like to double post. Don't mind me.
her most recent child. I forgot this salient point about Alaska:
"Every eligible man, woman and child got a record $3,269 this fall."
Considering this is a woman that bills the state for per diem while sleeping in her own bed, I cannot help but wonder is money didn't cross her mind.
what a moron.
Wow, triple post, even. Very sorry about all this.
{It's OK. I'll fix it. Thank You. SiteMonitor}
than her speaking is if we would have had to listen to the adopted son of RR, Michael Reagan.
Or did Santa drop him in lieu of a lump of coal and bundle of switches?
he should have been in with the rest of the wet spot.
Ronnie Jr. is a Gay Activist, and a regular contributor on Air America
Nancy once warned a young Michael to get his act together or change his last name. He's always been a square peg in a round hole. I genuinely pity the man.
Hasn't someone rolled Nancy Reagan's wheelchair off of one of those steep Southern California cliffs yet...with her sitting in it, of course???? I could have sworn......
see the new sensation movie
staring palin, coultergist and malkin,
"menage a trailor trash twats".

by using the military? the police?
why does sarah palin hate the military and the police?
but as long as her ex brother in law is still a trooper, she does have a beef (moose meat) with the state police.
good call, i wasn't even thinking about that ditty
where her only grandbaby was fathered by someone you can only categorize as her Ex Never Was.
so true
Absolutely, Ricky!! Aw hell - I love a good laugh....
to economics 400.
The dumber they are, the better they like them!
She has to find something to be against.

a conservative government might be dull but it does not, in general, attempt to exert control over its citizens, other than to maintain law and order. A liberal government doesn't feel safe in its power until it has established an ever-intrusive control over its people.
Anyway life goes on . . . and on . . .
Wiretapping, doing away with Habeas Corpus, naming citizens enemby combatants etc does not fall into controlling people to you? I think you do not sound ver smart.
No, a conservative government would never insist that a husband doesn't have the right to make decisions for his brain dead wife. Of course you would argue that monkey boy wasn't a true conservative.
So why do people identifying themselves as conservative insist that they have not only the right but the duty to tell women that they MUST give birth, a la the anti-abortion movement?
Why do people identifying themselves as conservative insist that they have to right to prevent people from legally marrying?
She's telling people that the government is creating a fearful population when in reality it is fear mongering rhetoric like hers and other conservatives that is really creating mass hysteria in a small population of our nation.
room.
Conservatives believe corporations should be unregulated but people should be regulated, held in poverty and subservient to the government. Look at reality.
Government's place is in the bedroom, not the boardroom.
Palin is a bimbo. I lived in Alaska for ten years and sat on too many barstools next to people like her. They drank Oly or Rainier out of the bottle until someone set up the bar, then they were drinking doubles of Chivas or Crown Royal.
and the Gov. realizes that they do not need regular people. The Gov. can just keep printing money and giving it directly to the Corps. Then they don't have to put up with the "great unwashed."
Palin, may you be trampled by moose, and eaten by wolves...AMEN
but the wolves would find her stringy and unnourishing.
I don't believe they like eating it. Personal message to Sarah: Do not EVER let them uplight you again. You looked like that guy Coulter's relative.
She has to see the hypocrisy. She just has too.
on the other hand, mebbe not. oyyy...............
This bitch is enough to make me want to throw up on the nearest right wing fascist.
Listening to her voice just turns my stomach, and I know that is really petty to say; as my sisters say the same thing about President Obama. But this wench is clueless.
What would she have us do?...let GM part out their corporation to more white collar criminals and foreign interests? We would have nothing left in this country.
This is bigger than the local bread store. What an ignorant bitch!
"We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population"
by fear mongering? great job sarah, really, grrreat job
b/c any rightwing politician knows the ONLY way to properly use fear is to snooker the populace into giving the ruling class a slow handjob--be it economically or politically
Government wants to control you so much that...
Wait... Maybe this doesn't prove Sarah Palin's point? OOPSi! My bad.
detaching oneself from the cold hard reality that is the political reality we live in, it is fascinating to see just how the rightwing crafts language to have a populist appeal in order to mask the wealth transfer from the majority of the citzens to the very few (that happen to bankroll said campaigns).
from healthcare reform, to financial regulations, to corporate welfare, you name it.
Can you see the baby jesus up there?

The byrds were definitely higher than 1000 ft.
Not no way, not no how!
sarah has her legs spread again?
was the concept of doublethink and the perversion of language. In fact, I believe Orwell was fascinated specifically by the use of language as a social molding/control tool.
Else, how can we explain the level of comfort the right in this country feels demonizing terms like Liberal, which come from Liberty, and socialism, which again come from Society. However, the GOP knows better than to say that liberty and society are bad things, even though by using the "al" and "ism" terminations, they can somehow circumvent the positive connotations of both terms and pervert their meaning. It is quite a genius marketing work... evil and depraved, but genius nonetheless.
I am still of the opinion that Huxley's vision in Brave New World was more en tune with how things are turning out to be: elites using "positive" repression, not via "negative" repression (like in 1984).
in comparing BraveNewWorld to 1984, it is interesting how the two different socioeconomic backgrounds of orwell and huxley are reflected in their novels
orwell, coming from the lower-mid-class and huxley coming from a more affluent bckgrd.
and i agree, of the 2 i see BNW as more likely of a scenario *shudder*
Rich people don't vote. They just buy politicians.
Does she have a grip on reality, she claims free markets the Socialized Corporations DO NOT believe in free markets, case and point the pharmaceutical industry DOES NOT want competition from the government, DUH! competition means free market you know shop for the Lowest price NOT the Stated price.
The COWARDLY Insurance industry and Medical Social Corportist DO NOT want a one payer system again because it VOIDS Stated price versus Competitive price. So someone want to tell me where the free market is. One last thing Free Market means you loose you loose the Social Corportist Privatizes the PROFITS then Socializes the Losses, some free market.
Corporations are free to suck every last cent you have out of your pockets.

... I'll give everyone one guess why Sarah wanted to be the next VP of the USA.
.
Better benefit package than the State of Alaska?
Where did she say, "New World Order"?
Or did you just make that part up?
She's a chip off George's block by lacking coherent sentence structure. They love the ambiguity it affords them of course....
The corrupt deception of Cheney with the idocy of Bush. Boy did America dodge a bullet with THAT ONE!
Wait you mean like the last eight years? Your either with us or against us
Economics 101 is different in Alaska than it is anywhere else.
Alaska's population is about 680,000 people. This is half as much as Philadelphia, or about the same number of people that live in Memphis, TN or Charlotte, NC.
The state government's oil revenue in 2008 was more than $10 billion (including $6 Billion from Palin's new windfall profits tax on the industry enacted 2 years ago - the state takes 25% of every barrel beginning at $52, more as the price rises). These numbers will have fallen since the price of oil declined, but Alaska has what amounts to a permanent budget surplus thanks to oil. No other state government has this vast stream of resource income, or such a modest population to spend it on.
In 2008, each Alaska resident was paid more than $2,000 from the state's investment fund, plus $1,200 from the proceeds of the windfall tax. This is three times what they were paid in 2006.

But don't call this big government, or intrusive corporate tax policy, or buying off voters. That would be socialism.
Sarah fell down the rabbit hole again

from the nice chap who was obviously traumatized by his encounter with Mr. Rogers in the confessional before he was defrocked.
I can't do it. As a conservative woman Sarah Palin disturbs my sense of morality. Sarah is a Socialist. Sarah's grandbaby is a Bastard. And Sarah raised her daughter to be a cheap Slut.
I can't do it. Can anybody vote for her? Is she running for anything? Three strikes, YOU'RE OUT SARAH(from the conservative view)!
Nancy Reagan
It seems like she's been non-stop running for something (only God knows what) since last year.
I wonder if she ever plans to get back to governing (you know... doing her job)?
Every time I hear and see SarahPalinijad, I think of the bullet that was dodged for the entire world, not just America.
..why does this festering wound continue to aggravate us so?
I think a single festering wound is still preferable to having the same festering wound AND getting shot a second time.
Not ideal by a long shot (pun intended)... but we gotta look for the silver lining somewhere.
the people of Alaska can cure themselves of this pustule by 2010.
Dear Sarah,
As you were pregnant when you married Todd and your daughter is an unwed mom, I would urge you to reexamine the concept of control. I really don't appreciate your out of control uterus trying to control mine.
A governor of a state bitching about the role of the government... I just can't think of a bigger example of logical dissonance at this very moment.
I am sure there are some better examples, but wow... just wow...
Republicans always campaign against the very job they are seeking.
office as the very reason why the government sucks, and why we should elect them.
The mind of the common conservative voter must be a wonder to analyze... I wonder if there are some evolutionary processes regarding logic and reason, which were left out of part of the human race... and they in turn become conservatives?
Though they are probably quite diminished. I think conservatives have the ability to forgo logic and reason where politics are concerned and rely on a feeling best described as "faith".
\
To the Authoritarian, nothing exists outside of getting what they want: no logic, no consistency, no agreement between one moment to the next. To the Follower, nothing is more important than following "the rules" (until the rules interfere with what they want). So, is Palin following a set code or is she manipulating people to get what she wants?
Does sarah have regular annoying personal problem like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CofhQRjmsc
you have to love it when someone just tried to become the second most powerful person in government warns after a failed attempt that the government is trying to control everyone. looks like she's ok with the government doing that as long as she's in charge.
secondly, while i have no faith in the government to do things right i have even less faith in the private sector to do things right. time and time again when companies are asked to be responsible for themselves and i love the term "police themselves" they not only fail miserably they usually take advantage of it.
an analogy would be:
a government security guard is late to work everyday and even milks the clock.
a private sector security guard steals what he is guarding, pays an illegal alien a pittance of what he was getting paid to man his post so it looks like the job is getting done while the original guard is on his boat having sex with underage children.
Limbaugh was once a private security guard?
if you're walking around trying to convince people of things with the knowledge you got from rush; you might as well be walking around trying to convince people of things because you've decided to carry around a ziplock bag of your own nut sweat.
Sounds like someone flunked Econ101 at one (or more) of five no-name colleges over seven years.
Jeez, I just cannot stand this woman. Who the heck does she think she is standing up there and pointing with her index fingers? I just cannot stand that! Never mind that she's a dumbass.
The only way she'll ever recognize her own socialism is to read a book and learn what it means...
I guess that this ignorant dunderhead didn't take any electives in economics or finance when she was striving mightily for her degree in sports journalism (whatever the hell that is??!!??). A buffoon from the top of her bee-hive 'doo to the bottom of her polyester slacks.
On the oil companies?
But...but...but...they'll pass those increases on to the consumer, right? Our idiot former TN Republican Rep. David Davis once said that businesses don't pay higher taxes that are levied on them...they pass the cost along to the customers, which are us.
Wow, John, you've really gone hard off the deep end. Maybe you didn't catch that Obama is re-viving the notion of Russian CZARS... who tell Executives how much money they can or can't make... who demand everyone drive smaller and more dangerous cars... who demand everyone get a certain kind of health insurance... who force GM shareholders to take pennies on the dollar in bankruptcy... who force private GM dealers out of business completely arbitrarily...
Oh, but this isn't 'Controlling' us... no... you probably think this is HELPING US make better decisions... have fun making those "decisions", John.
you are wrong
"Russian CZARS"?
Really? Russian czars...
It must be really great to finally get to use the Russians as a booger man after all these years in the wilderness. Al Qaeda not working for ya anymore? Scary rooskies, now there's a classic I didn't expect to see so soon.

He seems to be mixing historical metaphors, tsarist and Communist Russia and America's Guilded Age caveat emptor.
where have you been the last eight years?
bush knew that GM was going under and didn't want another fucked up mess on his watch. That is why he let it go till Obama took office.
You need to stop watching the msm and faux they are turning you few brain cells into mush.
republicanism is a mental illness!
You don't sound like you are on level ground.
To much beck, limpballs and hannity I presume?
You just repeated, verbatim, Rush Limbaugh. Turn off your radio and read a book.
If they accept our tax dollars, they have to accept our rules.
Like if you accept a paycheque you have to obey your boss's rules.
What a ding-bat.
Afraid that little miss dumb fuck here will never shut the hell up and go away.
Afraid that her decision to run in 2012 rests upon what the voices in her head tell her to do.
Afraid of her getting into a position of real power when she can't even run her backwater state.
Afraid that some where out there, there are people in this country that believe what ever crock of shit she's constantly mentioning.
Afraid that her idiot spawn will grow up to be just like her and spawn further generations of dolts upon hitting their teens.
Damn! This bitch-face is so irrelevant, and so insignificant - why do the media pick up on every word she sputters from her ugly mouth?? My hope is, Bitch-Face Palin will eventually make herself such a "tired" subject that no one will listen to her mindless, idiotic rants any longer. We can only hope that the former - and I DO mean "FORMER beauty queen" checks out one of her limbs on her next hunting expedition by mindlessly pointing that gun of her's at a certain part of her anatomy and pulling the trigger! It may gain her sympathy with the grandma's and grandpa's of the nation, but hopefully it will shut her up!
republicanism is a mental illness!

Please, please, PLEASE....Palin/Limbaugh 2012.
He's big enough to fill both positions at the same time, so it would be Rush/Rush in 2012. Sarah can take Rahm's place.
Sarah Palin can't wait to "control the people." She's practically drooling. She'll have concentration camps open with a year of being ellected.
PLEASE GO AWAY AND STAY AWAY!!!!!!
I don't want corporations running our lives. Noe do I want you or your religious fanatics governing either.
Can someone ask Sarah Palin if a Governor of Alaska should have authority to rule the people of the state via a governors decision making?
Why does she pretend to be anti Gov't when she is holding the job of a Governor?
i doubt she even took this class.
take off the aluminum foil beanie cap sarah, and stand by for mind control!
I can't wait, for the laughter, to see this stupid, bitch, run for the presidency.
Haa Haa Haa Haaa
They only want to spy on them and condemn them.
Sarah
Government bodies ar there to protect their citizens.
That's what they are there for.
OK
They are not perfect, this we all know .
BUT
There are people out there like you, who are completely clueless.
So governments are needed to control or keep a lid on bimbos like you.
So if you or your backers would shut up ,there would be no need for any government intervention .
So shut up.
