Anti-Palin Aerial Hunting Propaganda

If wildlife is in abundance, what's the matter with hunting it? I understand the video had hero shots of the wolf and strong language, but that is propaganda. Speaking as someone who teaches propaganda techniques, this video was mostly propaganda.

Hunting is hunting. So long as the species isn't endangered, hunting is sometimes required and population control can actually be good for the wildlife, because their resources are in more supply because of less demand.

I'm not a hunter myself, but I appreciate the deer hunters in my area for controlling the deer population so the deer don't eat up all their resources. Starving to death is more painful than being shot. What is so terrible about her supporting aerial hunting?

And what does it have to do with her candidacy? There are FAR more important things to worry about than hunting. I understand that hunting makes animal rights activists feel bad, but doesn't the right to hunt have a bit to do with freedom? Isn't that what this country is built on?

By permitting this type of hunting, Palin is preserving that very freedom on which the US was founded. That very freedom which so many activists want to take away. You offend somebody, some activist wants to make laws on what you can and cannot say (hate speech legislation), someone gets shot by a criminal, some activist want to take all the guns from law abiding citizens. The Constitution is NOT negotiable, yet a lot of people seem to think that it is.

I support Palin, because Palin supports our rights. Do I think she's mean? Yes. Do I think she's a little deluded because of her religion? Yes, but aren't all religious people? I do not LIKE her as a person, but as a candidate, she will almost certainly try to preserve our freedom, and that is what matters most.

I do not think it is the government's job to pass regulation after regulation, widdling away at our rights. I think it is the government's responsibility to collect taxes and build roads and schools. It is the government's job to speak with other countries and make treaties. I, personally, do not wish for the government to treat me like a well-cared for pet.

I am a person, and I can decide what is right and wrong for me, and I do not need the government taking self-sovereignty from me. The more we ask for regulations, the more regulations we'll get, until the US becomes nothing but a police state.

Is that what you want? If so, I look forward to combating you and your 'activist' friends who took my Constitutional rights. I look forward to see you standing side by side with tyranny, accepting their concessions and asking for less freedom. When all of our freedoms are gone, and revolution is inevitable, I look forward to seeing your betrayal through the scope of my rifle.

Republican National Commitee: Sarah Palin's Speech

Wow. Her speech was absolutely phenomenal. I now honestly believe McCain has a chance. She is clever, witty and bold, just like McCain.

She was very convincing, even making a good argument. Her argument was that Obama doesn't have enough experience and hasn't really done anything besides campaign. She notes that "They're the ones whose names appear on laws and landmark reforms, not just on buttons and banners, or on self-designed presidential seals.", and she's right. What has he done?

Also, she brings up the point that Obama promises change, but doesn't tell us what he's really going to do:

"This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word "victory" except when he's talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed... when the roar of the crowd fades away... when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot - what exactly is our opponent's plan?

What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he's done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger... take more of your money... give you more orders from Washington... and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world. America needs more energy... our opponent is against producing it."

Beautifully spoken. Honestly, that was brilliant. However she brings up a much larger, much more important issue:

"Congress spends too much... he promises more.

Taxes are too high... he wants to raise them. His tax increases are the fine print in his economic plan, and let me be specific.

The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes... raise payroll taxes... raise investment income taxes... raise the death tax... raise business taxes... and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars."

This is very important. You say, "The government needs tax money, so they can take care of our education, streets, welfare, national safety, police force and health care."

You don't realize that this means "It's okay if the government takes all of our money, because then they can take care of us better, and we don't have to decide how to spend our own money."

What you have to keep in mind is that the government and the "interest groups" don't think that we will spend our hard earned money responsibly, so they want to take the majority of it, leave us with a little spending money, and pay for our housing, food, health care, and everything else that we could be handling ourselves. This takes away our fundamental freedoms, and puts us in the position of well cared for servants. If that's what you want, then so be it.

However, there is a name for that, and some countries in the world are using that system right now. It's called communism, folks, and before you decide that's alright, why not take a look into how communism has worked out for China? Just look into it, see how much freedom the Chinese people have. This is how much freedom we will have if we give the government too much responsibility. When you give someone responsibility over your life, this makes you a dependent, which gives them ultimate power over you.

This isn't what I want for America, and that's why I won't be voting for Barack Obama.

I just thought I'd include this, because she seemed to skip over it, and I thought it was important to get out there.

Anyway, back to speaking of the election, I think this has really helped McCain's campaign. The speech was moving, the crowd was rabid, and Palin was just radiant. It certainly pushed my vote in McCain's direction.

It also apparently pushed a few others:

How about that, huh? I found it on another blog. Well, she certainly is charismatic. I also love most of her views, but she seems to be against separation of church and state, which is just awful. Aren't there any atheist republicans out there? At all?

If you want to find information on candidates, here's the place to go.

They have quotes on every issue from every candidate (local too), and they have information on which way the voted on certain important bills. You can also take their test to see which candidate matches you views the best and why. Wonderful site, really.

P.S. Best quote from the speech: "In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change."
