From PhillyBurbs.com:
About a dozen people who had gathered to protest Sarah Palin's arrival at a fundraiser in Peddler's Village late Tuesday afternoon were forced to move by police.
Officers from both Solebury and Buckingham, who were providing security in the vicinity of the Cock 'n Bull restaurant where Palin was making an appearance, told the protesters that they could not stand across the street from the eatery's entrance.
Doylestown Township resident Mari Suarez, who was among the group, said police told her that the demonstrators were on private property and had to move.
"I don't think that's right," said Suarez.
"It's unjust," said Marlene Pray, the Doylestown resident who helped organize the protests. However, she said she was not surprised by the police action.
"We were told to expect this," Pray said. "It has happened at other places where Sarah Palin has appeared. It's her draconian security measures."
It seems that Sister Sarah is ALL about protecting the rights of students in Pennsylvania to increase their risks of tooth decay and contracting type two Diabetes, but does not recognize the hypocrisy inherent in the fact that the people who do not agree with her were not able to exercise their first amendment rights which our founding fathers provided to the citizens of this great country.
I can come to no other conclusion than that Sarah Palin hates America, but LOVES childhood obesity.
So what do you get when you have a parent who refuses to teach her children about good nutrition, or the importance of safe sex?
I have decided what I am going to get Bristol for Christmas this year. A mother who actually loves her.
Perhaps she can find it in her heart to share her with the other members of her family, before it is too late for them as well.
P.S. I actually do feel a little guilty including Bristol's picture in this post, but it certainly seems relevant if her mother is going to protest the efforts of the Pennsylvania school system to protect their students from poor nutrition. If somebody is going to stick their nose into how the schools and parents of another state care for their children, than obviously it is fair game to scrutinize how that person parents their OWN children. (And of course I am still pretty convinced that Bristol's weight gain is for another reason altogether, but since the Palin's are in denial about that then the only other alternative is that Bristol grew up without learning the importance of good nutrition from her parents. One of which is now giving nutional advice to the children in Pennsylvania.)
As posted on Mudflats, the PA newspaper corrected the story- there was no proposed policy to ban junk food.

Palin is a deluded Nazi. There is just no other way to say it.
ReplyDeleteI sent an email to an East Coast friend today, because when I first moved to the East Coast, for about 2 months, I lived about 30 min/15 miles from Doylestown. I wrote: "Maybe her laissez faire prescription will help those kids get pregnant before graduating college, too, and gain weight when supposedly practicing dance steps for TV. I say let them experiment and pay for their health care on their laissez faire bodies, with their laissez faire money."
ReplyDeleteSomebody paleazzzeee explain to me why the quiter ex governor of Alaska went down to the lower 48 to stick her big ugly azz nose in the business of Pennsylvania? This is the mother who did not cook and her kids depended on each other to get fast food.
ReplyDeleteQuitter ex-gov, also explain to me what is your business in Pennsylvania when you as a govenor let native Alaskans starve? What are you doing for native Alaskans now? Are you going to show the starving native Alaskans in Sarah Palin's Alaska?
Didn't think so!
Gryphen - Do you know when that photo of Bristol was taken?
ReplyDeleteIf Sarah Palin plans on going on school campuses and distributing cookies....good luck with that. Because school officials will not allow her to break district policy. She can either attend sans cookies or she will be canceled.
ReplyDeleteCock 'n Bull Restaurant?? Really? That's where she was speaking?!? That alone should be a separate blog entry.
ReplyDeletefreedom of speech doesn't extend to private businesses...
ReplyDeleteUnless the owners of that "private" property complained, the police had no business telling anybody to move.
ReplyDeleteAnd just to keep things in perspective, the boy who came to see Willow (TLC promo) proceeded up the stairs to her bedroom in $Palin's home, with Willow's complicity and without $arah being able to stop him.
ReplyDeleteYup, her children are well-raised.
Oh, BTW, my children are the same ages as $Palins' but my 20-year-old does not know what a "lap dance" is, nor would I ever use that expression in front of her.
Now, my daughter worked under $Palin's sister for quite some time, so I can prove this comment if necessary.
My point is, that the nut doesn't fall far from the tree - if you sexualize your daughters, in any way, such as using sexually explicit expressions, please don't be surprised if they pick it up and act it out.
To me, sadly, this is equivalent to Sarah raping her daughters.
I want to barf.

ReplyDeleteand
from Sarah Palin's 2009 State of the union address.
"We have alarming levels of heart disease, diabetes, childhood obesity – and all of these maladies are on the rise. Now, I won’t stand here and lecture – for very long – but health care reform on an individual basis is often just this simple: we could save a lot of money, and a lot of grief, by making smarter choices.
It starts by ending destructive habits, and beginning healthy habits in eating and exercise. In my case, it’s hard to slack when you have the ever-present example of an Iron Dogger nearby. But many of us could use a little more time in our great outdoors – and when you live in the Great Land, there’s no excuse.
Protecting good health is largely a matter of personal responsibility, but government policy can help. Our new Alaska Health Care Commission will recommend changes that affect the well-being of Alaskans far into the future."
Is Sarah Palin a hypocrite and political opportunist? You decide.
Rick
Protesters need to check the codes in advance. Here, the city owns the sidewalk and the boulevard strip next to it and any median strips in the road. That is all PUBLIC LAND.
ReplyDeleteParking lots are almost all private land, unless there is a sign declaring that they are public lots.
A quick visit to the Recorder's Office can clarify who owns the patch of land... a business might not want protesters in their lot, because that interferes with trade.
Even if you are on public land, there may be laws against loitering. The police use these laws to prevent drunks and gamblers from hanging around liquor stores, however, they are multi-purpose. The defense against that is to keep moving. Here, people with signs will parade up and down the sidewalks. This also increases visibility.
There are also laws against vagrancy. The defense? Dress decently, have a provable address, and here you need to have $20... all to prove that you aren't a homeless bum.
If the police want you out of the way, they can be creative. However, if they reach too far back in the code book for an excuse they will look silly in court and in the newspapers, and they don't like looking silly.
Cookies laced with ?
ReplyDeleteBristol- that's not cookie fat that's i'm pregnant fat!
ReplyDeleteThat's our Sarah so thoughtful to bring cookies to Pennsylvania. When she was governor of Alaska she too was thoughtful and brought cookies to the starving Eskimos. Then she quit! No more cookies for the starving people.
ReplyDeleteOMG Bristol tummy is growing, like her mama hair.
ReplyDeleteDoes Sarah plan on taking cookies to Eureka College in California, ya know the school that her hero Ronald Reagan attended?
ReplyDeleteI don't know. We know from emails Sarah cares about having fruits and veggies stocked at home. I think her rant was just to criticize "governmental effort" of controlling people. To some degree I agree. Here in NY, Bloomberg as initiated an anti-salt campaign. Ridiculous. It's not the friggin food's fault. People have become lazy. Before all this crap existed, there were people who lived a long time and people who didn't. None of this matters.
ReplyDeletePiper: Mommy you never took cookies to my school. How come you went to Pennsylvania and took cookies to their school?
ReplyDeleteSarah: Piper ya want to know why I never took cookies to your school? Because you do not go to school! Now go watch your nephew Trig and fetch me a taco crunch wrap with a Dr. Pepper.
Ft Worth Star Telegram reported about Palin's speech in Dallas tonight. She went into the wild ride story again and "some people still think Trig isn't mine."

This was a hit on the First Lady and her campaign against obesity. Sarah hates everyone who is doing selfless things because she is such a miserable greedy person. She does not care about the escalating number of obese children in this country, she only cares about how she can insight anger in her followers. What a sad and pathetic life for her and her family.
ReplyDeleteI am delighted the first Lady is raising awareness of nutrition, health and exerise. Obesity is an epiidemic in this country amongst adults and children.
ReplyDeleteThe Paradox is that those who speak to control others to do what they want twist public education, guidelines that are recommendations for health as some gestapo dictatorship. Palin has no business to interfere or intrude on school choices, private or public decisions to set standards that children eat healthy food and limit their intakes of sweets. From what I read is that schools sought a balanced offering of food groups for parties not a ban on sweets.
I am hosting a party soon with adult daughters and we are offering food from each food group. Maybe Palin eats as she speaks and promotes being 'off balance'..
This seems so juvenile for Palin to crash through boundries, dictate limits and bring cookies (a kind of FU) disrespecting community leaders and the boards that participate in policy. If Palin wants to get involved in her community, Wasilla, as a "homemaker" she ought to go for it instead of verbally assualting people across the country using cookies to promote herself as presidentail material.Palin get a sick kick out of grabbing an issue and acting out to bait and provoke people in opposition to get people "wee weed up" Sseh is violating, intrusive and a hypocrite preaching government on a local level using and twisting this all to her advanatage. The consequences to parents and children is to promote destructive health habits.
Gryphen, I would wince if I were Bristol's mom about you posting her picture again. However given Palin's outspokeness and brazen cookies it is important to see the consequences in a picture of what Sarah promotes. Great job!
That picture of Bristol is of her leaving practice. She knows the paps are outside to take pictures. It looks, to me, like she has on that square sponge thing under her t-shirt. If you have a large screen, you can see the line from her left side almost to the right about 3" up from the bottom of the shirt.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw her on Ellen's show, I was shocked! She looked huge! All I could think was how were they going to pull all that in by Monday night.
Then, on the show, she looked thinner than I've see her for weeks. I'll bet she lost about 10/15 lbs.
Was she wearing padding on Ellen's show? Can someone compare these pictures of her on Ellen and then on DWTS on Monday night?
Next Monday will be telling, indeed.
Anon 8:36, neither you nor Sarah know what she is protesting. If she took the time to educate herself, she'd realize she's protesting "guidelines" and not "government control". I'm guessing you're related to her, as you have no interest in educating yourself either.
ReplyDelete"But WHOSE guidelines?", you may sarcastically ask. If you blindly accept all the word salad that spews from Sarah's mouth, you'd have no doubt it's the government's. If you have a mind of your own, you'd find out for yourself.
"Parents, students, school foodservice

Another interesting People magazine article showing as dated Nov 9th -- Palin paying for all the friends to fly to DWTS to support Bristle. The divorce tease is dated Nov 10th on the People mag site.
ReplyDeleteThe article mentions:
"....she did say she has been able to splurge on a few items for her family. Those include an airport hangar and workshop for Todd, apartments for Bristol and her older brother Track, a home studio for Palin's FOX News appearances – and those plane tickets to Los Angeles."
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20440613,00.html
So it says she bought the Condo for Bristle and one for Track too.
Wonder if the flight and hotel costs show up on PAC filings??? as Ivy, VanFleece, etc. have been there.

"School officials hope her appearance in the end will bring in several hundred dollars. Palin's appearance fee, thought to be $75,000, was reportedly covered by private donors.
"I brought dozens and dozens of cookies. I had to shake it up for you guys, especially the press okay."
Palin raises a larger point: Government intervention in school nutrition programs continues to be a point of contention in Congress. No stranger to controversy, Palin told the crowd she is hoping to spark conversation."
Palin Talks Presidential Bid, Family, Faith
http://www.wfmz.com/bucksnews/25704971/detail.html
"While Palin's appearance wasn't intended to be a political event, the former governor of Alaska opened her speech by dancing around the speculation that she may run for president in 2012.
"Daniel, that singing, absolutely beautiful," said Palin. "Daniel, would you like to sing at an inauguration? Not necessarily mine."
About Bristol:
"Here Bristol, she was on the youth football team, youth wrestling team," said Palin. "Instead of taking dance or home-ec in school, she took shop class."
Hmmm. Now Bristol was on a youth wrestling team, too, as well as hockey and football and basketball and volleyball...
Like, when, exactly?
2005-2006 Wasilla?
2006-2007 Wasilla and then Juneau.
2007-2008 Wasilla and out of school, then Anchorage, and again out of school.
2008-2009 Out of school, then magically graduates with her class and a 3.49 GPA.
People Magazine reported that she took just two classes - Financial Literacy and PE.
When, Sarah? When do your kids play on all these sports teams? How does Piper participate in sports and dance? When?

ReplyDeleteSorry, but I don't agree that line is her pants.
Here's something else to ponder. Why is Bristol walking with her sweater wide open so everyone can see her bulging tummy?
In most pictures, she has on her hoodie or sweaters and she is constantly pulling them over her stomach.
Go figure...
I can come to no other conclusion than that Sarah Palin hates America, but LOVES childhood obesity.

WOW, if u look at the site above, Bristol legs does not look like the legs of someone who has been practicing dancing 5 hours a day. All that cottage cheese or should I say 1/4 pounders with cheese?
Perhaps Bristol is pulling a Palin and has borrowed her mothers pillow in an attempt to discredit the bloggers out there. The last laugh so to speak, see how easily people can be fooled.
ReplyDeleteDo the Teabaggers get to vote all the way through the finals of DWTS ? They've propped up Bristol all the way to the semi-finals; if they get to continue their BS (voting 80-100 times each) then there is no way Butterball can lose DWTS.

ReplyDeleteYes, it is the food's fault. Or, better still, it's the food companies' fault for oversalting our food. What's interesting is if First Lady Laura Bush had promoted health eating and turned the White House lawn into a garden, you wouldn't have heard the end of it. She would have been feted and interviewed ad nauseum as the greatest first lady ever.
Our foods ARE killing us, and the pharmaceutical companies love it. They're swimming in profits from producing diabetes meds, chloresterol meds, pills for hypertension. If Palin and her Rethugs have their way, our food supply will be unregulated and you'd eat that KFC double down at your own risk.
As governor, Palin was all for healthier lunches and federal dollar for free lunch. She's a diabolical hypocrite. Unfortunately, she's here to stay.
I live in Pennsylvania and wish Sarah Palin would keep her nose out of our business. Please, Sarah, just go away.

National Enquirer reports that Bristol eats all the junk food in sight:
Bristol Junk Food Tango:
http://www.nationalenquirer.com/bristol_palin_fat_junk_food_binges_dancing_with_stars/celebrity/69637
Either Bristol has absolutely no self control or awareness, she has a serious medical problem, or she's pregnant. I can't imagine that any normal, healthy, non pregnant 20 year old woman on a nationally televised TV show would not be more conscious about her looks and weight. Bristol was very thin after having Tripp when she was on her first Candies abstinence tour, so it just doesn't make sense now, unless she had a physical condition which caused her to pack on the pounds.
This is the most under-reported story of this season's DWTS. If any other real or psuedo celeb was seen walking around LA like that, she would be on the cover of every magazine reporting pregnancy rumors. How many times have we seen pictures of Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Kirsti Alley, etc, in the gossip mags asking FAT OR PREGNANT? With Butterball??...crickets.
Take a look at Bristol in the promo pics Sarah's new show...she was significantly thinner only this past summer.
honestyinGov, You sure that's Bristol? She didn't say awesome, or sucks once! I smell an imposter ;)
ReplyDeleteIMO, SP came to screech at a Christian school in PA because the Moms there are a large part of the fan base who will cling to her every word. I've posted about this in the past. Many of the women* that I know in PA think she exists to usher the "pure" through the End Times. Using the local kids as pawns in the latest Palin publicity bid is, unfortunately, no different than co-opting her own family for media gain.
ReplyDeleteWonder what Sarah shenanigans are on the docket for next week?
*I don't mean to specifically target one gender--it seems to be the trend, however!
I don't have a young child in school but I do know that parents are asked to provide(pay for) many items the kids need in the classroom. Parties are nice but many parents don't have the $$$$$$$$$ to provide goodies to a classroom of kids.
ReplyDeleteIn my blue collar community here in TX I am always surprised at the girth of the young women I see in the stores. I don't see the menfolk because hopefully they are working but I wonder to myself just what these women are gonna look like in 20 years.
maybe we are being a little hard on Palin. remember when her response to help the starving natives over the winter was to bring them cookies? maybe papa heath fed his kids that way and she's so willfully ignorant she doesn't know any better. look at how she "eats" and this sort of rings true. she lives on starbucks coffee and dr pepper right? ignorance is as ignorance does. also too, paylin, her mom and her daughter obviously didn't know how babies are made either. ooops!
ReplyDeleteNo apology necessary, Gryphen, for showing that pic of Bristol. Sarah seems to think she can exert her opinion on everyone else, with no response allowed regarding her own family. Time for her to grow up.
ReplyDeletei used to go to new hope ad peddler's village quite a bit in my years growing up across the delaware in nj. my mother and sisters would have loved to have known that she was there. i have this fantasy of going to one of her events and just cold cocking her. i know it would get me all kinds of arrested and sued in the real world - and i am a pacifist by the way - but in my fantasy, the scales all of a sudden fall off everyone's eyes and everyone starts clapping, as sister sarah, naughty monkeys pointing to god, slowly comes to and realizes she is not amongst friends. and to think, this all might have gone down in peddler's village - one of the fakest, cheesiest shopping centers in all of pa. how appropriate. i wonder if the usual oompah band was there.
ReplyDeleteI live in Philadelphia not far from Peddler's Village. I was wondering where that overwhelming feeling of dread was coming from on Tuesday.
ReplyDeletehauksdottir @ 8:19;
ReplyDeleteYou're right. But police violate the civil rights of protestors more and more--and with more and more draconian measures since police departments have access to militarized police units under the anti-terrorism budget. Miltarized police are now trained on US citizens who dare to protest--as in Pittsburgh at the G20 Economic Summit in 2009, or in Miami when union members were trying to protest several years ago.
Authorities know that charges made by police against protestors will later be thrown out of court for the most part, but that's not the point--the point is to shunt the protestors away from the target of the protest. And in that they are very successful. Police don't care if they look "silly" in court--they're getting their orders to disperse protests from higher up.
Best thing to do if you plan to protest is to get people with you to visually record the protest. (Be ready to have cameras and film broken and/or confiscated.) Also useful at political protests in particular is to have volunteer lawyers present to document civil rights abuses.
As noted, the main aim of the policing methods is to break up protests during the targeted event. This is generally successful. Later most charges are dropped--but at considerable waste of resources and nuisance to the protestors who often must travel a distance to appear in court, etc. This is also part of the overall effort to chill dissent--raising the ante to anyone who wants to peacably protest.
anonymous @ 9:42 pm, how right you are that this was just another swipe at the first lady. sarah obviously seethes with jealousy over her - not only is she in the WH, but she is much better looking and more buff than first dud. i can't imagine being such a jealous, angry person with a bizarre thin sugar coating on the outside.
ReplyDeleteRick @ 8:01 - First of all, you are using a pesky Fact to expose the hypocrisy of Sarah Palin's policy on healthy eating. Second, with her own words as Governor also too?
ReplyDeleteThanks for finding that. That is awesome! And it sucks for the quitter or whatnot.
None of this Matters @ 8:36
ReplyDeleteYou want to know the origins of cocktails? Prohibition outlawed regulated spirits so bathtub gin and the sort were made in secret with nefarious opportunists with creative and cheap ingredients that were often lethal if consumed in larger doses. To mask the taste of these harmful liquids, they sweetened it up with fruits, juices and such. It's almost like dogs drinking anti-freeze cause it is sweet and pretty but lethal.
It's a fascinating take on the suffragist movement in that new HBO show, Boardwalk Empire, in that the women insisting on prohibition was a way to get back at men in power by taking away their ability to freely and publicly imbibe.
The fact of the matter is, what you declare as unimportant, such as Bloomberg's effort to curb salt consumption is an effort to combat the costly affects of poor nutrition with respondent emergent care or Medicare / Medicaid that drains the systems we all pay for.
If the industry responds by reducing sodium content, encourage macrobiotic or more utilization of fresh local foods - it adds up to a lesser carbon imprint and supports local farms and dairy operations.
Grow up with your disinterested non-opinion. Not caring was cool is some High Schools, but we are adults here, moreso than our crazy ex-Quitting Governor.
LOL, it is the Will of the People, the unwashed masses that Bristol stay on the show despite earning her spot on the show in the first place (since Daddy gave it to her, nepotism that Sarah hates so much re: Murkowski's?) and proving her worth by hard work and proper execution of her rudimentary routines compared to her counterparts.
ReplyDeleteShe can't wait to announce the book deal and media blitz to discuss how hard it was to perform 12 hours a day while in her second trimester while being an unsupported single mom so far away from home and out of her comfort zone. The Palin's, reward me for doing something I should never have been given the opportunity to do, because I don't deserve it and I suck as a human being also. Too.
Sarah doesn't believe "big government" has the right to tell us what to do, and that decisions such as these should be made by states or by local school districts. So what's her problem?...nothing! It's just another opportunity to flap her botoxed lips and get her name in the news. It doesn't matter if she really believes what she's saying, or if it's right or wrong. Her main objective is to get noticed.
ReplyDeleteOT. Maine's Senator Susan Collins said,“I think she likes being a celebrity commentator for Fox and a speaker and being able to provide for her family,” Collins said. “I think that life appeals to her. It’s a lot easier to charge people up than to actually govern.”

ReplyDeleteYou might have heard about Sarah Palin's dick-move stunt in Pennsylvania. She accused the Pennsylvania’s State Board of Education of banning sugary foods, and referred to it as a "nanny state run amok." So she hauled a buttload of cookies to her speaking engagement in Plumsteadville, PA. Get it? She's so clever.
Here's the problem. No such ban exists -- or is even in the works.
Jed Lewison:
The newspaper that made the claim is the right-wing Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and even they retracted the allegation.
Between this an her Wall Street Journal debacle, it's clear that she's having a rough week with her reading comprehension.
to those who are saying this picture shows Bristol with a pillow or something under he shirt, I see an ouitie there, and a very tight mark where her jeans are cut low.
ReplyDeleteI can not fathom why a 20 year old girl would allow herself to be used, in the fashion she is. To be seen on T.V. every week, being a laughing stock, gaining pounds, dancing like an old lumbering work horse,(UNLESS) Mommy has promised large amounts of cash. It has been reported, both Bristol and Tripp have managers,why? Mom Gris has plans.
This is the set-up for the announcement of Bristol's pregnancy:

"While Palin mostly spoke about the role of prayer in her life, she also responded when asked about a potential Presidential run in 2012.
ReplyDelete“I wouldn’t do it just to shake it up, just to cause people in a competitive primary to have to debate and articulate what their solutions would be for the country,” said Palin.
“I’d be in it to win it.”

This is a sincere question: Can someone explain how Bristol Palin benefits from speculation whether she is pregnant or just gaining a lot of weight? Why would any twenty-year-old intentionally make herself look bigger and bigger at precisely the same time that she knows millions of people will be focusing on her appearance, and specifically on her figure, on a nationally televised dancing show? She is getting enough press as it is because of her mother and just because she is on the show. How do the terribly unflattering images of her that appear everywhere these days help her?
ReplyDeleteI know she acts arrogant and entitled, but I feel sorry for her and her complete lack of self-awareness. She seems to truly believe that she deserves the opportunities she's been handed. She seems to have a very high opinion of herself, why wouldn't she want to look her best right now?
as I've said before, in any other country this woman would be in an asylum. this seems like a real grasping at straws move to me.
ReplyDelete@6:31am: RRIPP has a manager?! WTF does a 2-year-old need a manager for?
ReplyDeleteGinger, that line would be about where her jeans fall and cut in. On Monday night's show, she also had no boobs. ANd the black color hid a lot. Remember, there were women who bandaged/taped their bobs and passed successfully as men.She's encased from armpits to crotch in Kevlar Spanx - that she can't bend as she should in teh dance is pretty evident.
ReplyDeleteBut the orange dress showed a lot! When she did that one move well at the beginning - the belly fat still flew - well I guess she could do the fat belly dancer career move. I understand that it's quite lucrative in many middle eastern countries where fat women are the taste preference.
The fringe top and bottom hid a lot, but look at the difference in flexibility between Jen Grey's week 2 samba and this - she never does the move where one bends over forward - she can't. Also look at the profile view - front to back that girl is THICK.
And BTW, 135# - looks more like pushing 150 on a 5'5" frame.
ANd Gryphen - no reason at all to feel guilty putting Brisket photo in - $carah thinks its perfectly OK to use the children of PA to score her political points - she's effectively just declared open season - media-wise - on her own kids.
It is not plausible that Bristol pads her face and arms. The weight gain is happening. Why and what nots are speculative.
ReplyDeleteChildhood obesity and all obesity and eating disorders are critical and very serious matters. If nothing but the medical and hospital costs. Bristol is lucky to have the medical coverage she has. That is not the case for most Americans and unwed teens and single mothers are facing a bleak future.
The Palin disregard is striking and callous.
After Bristol has gained all her admirers it would be disgusting if she just disappears with some lame excuse after needing votes and having the Tea Party go all out for her. A person who doesn't vote. She needs to try and show some humanity and to give back to her mother's Tea Party for the votes. Votes do matter, they transformed Kelly Osborne's body. They are transforming Bristol in an opposite way.
Tea Party votes=body transformation.
Gryphen, Thank you for everything. You are a voice of sanity. It is very important to connect the dots. Bristol wants her mother to be President, she has weighed what that means and knows from the past. Her part and her pictures say a lot and you can't leave that out and treat this with integrity. Her role in this is what it is. If people complain let them complain about why no one from SarahPac and the bots can face and discuss what everybody else is concerned about. Not only Bristol packing on the pounds while exercising, or so they say, but as a nation all dietary matters.
ReplyDeleteWhy are those that say they care for Bristol and call others H8Rs not helping Bristol? They are the cruel and senseless ones. If she showed up with bruises and wounds while dating Levi and it looked fishy, they would ignore that? No. They need to confront the people that enable Bristol to go on with a negative lifestyle. Those people are as abusive as a boyfriend that beats on a girl. Stop enabling Bristol if you actually care for her. Get to the heart of the matter Palinbots. Her mother doesn't show an ounce of real love. Bristol is a political prop for Sarah, that hasn't changed no matter how it gets spun.
Tripp needs a manager if he is to star in a reality show. Bristol is doing DWTS to try and get her own show. Levi wants a show. Like when Kate visiting Alaska, some shows will do guest appearances. Did they cut Sarah out of Kate's show? Is Kate still in Sarah's show? Interesting that Kate from Pa is not commenting on Sarah's food and Pa school remarks.

Plus alike any failed journalist Sarah did not verify the facts of what she was Bitching about.

ReplyDeleteInteresting article, worth reading.
In possession of an extra $150 and a burning desire to see Sarah Palin speak in person? No need to go rogue, just head down Route 611.
Plumstead Christian School in Bucks County has managed to book the former Republican vice presidential candidate for its annual fundraiser and Founders Forum on Nov. 9 and still has about 500 tickets available.
Palin's visit won't come cheap. Published reports put her typical speaking fee in the $75,000 to $100,000 range, although she sometimes lowers it. Plumstead Christian isn't disclosing how much the Republican icon is charging, but says her tab is being picked up by 15 parents of current students and alumni.
Ticket prices range from $75 to watch the Founders Forum speech on a closed-circuit TV in one of three rooms where Palin will greet attendees before her speech, to $250 to sit in the first eight rows of the auditorium.
The school also is hosting a $750-a-plate dinner with Palin at the Cock 'n Bull restaurant in Lahaska, for which about 90 tickets remain."
Interesting details:
It was booked through Washington Speakers Bureau.
(I think it's time to boycott them. You can get any speaker they have, either directly or through other contacts.)
Cock & Bull's banquet seating capacity is 200. They had 90 tickets left?
They had 500 tickets still available for the speech at the school.
Photographs of these events show white middle-aged people. A band ensemble of white students. Not an identifiable person of color in any photograph.
The school staff - not one person of color. Not one. Not even the bus driver.
All of the administration is white male, except for the elementary grades principal.
The entire staff for elementary grades is women. No men.
For the upper grades, 12 out of 26 are white male. The men teach the "important" subjects - math, science, physics, social sciences - the women teach English, Spanish, music, PE, library.

"In response to questions from preselected PCS students, Palin said that former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was a big influence on her early political ideals, and that the first thing she would do if ever elected president would be to repeal what she termed "Obamacare, the mother of all unfunded mandates.
When encouraged by PCS Chancellor Dean Whiteway to announce if she planned to run for president in 2012, Palin deferred, but did describe the process she would use to decide whether or not to run.
"After prayerful consideration and, literally, polling the family," she said. "That's what it would take, because it's a great sacrifice to offer yourself up in the name of public service."
But if she were to run, she said she would be "in it to win it."
this pic reminds me of Ms. Piggy, she also wore similar dress

ReplyDeleteShe does indeed to appear to be "bound" and would certainly explain why she dances like a stick.
