'Greenies, Grannies, and Gunnies.'
On p. 129 of GR, Sarah continues with her discussion of the early days of her gubernatorial administration in Alaska.
She writes, "Our approach to moving the gasline forward was both innovative and simple: Explain the importance of gasline development to ordinary Alaskans. And get them involved. That meant our war room became every kitchen table, town hall, classroom, and living room across the Last Frontier. We reached out. We asked citizens, 'These are your resources, so what do you think?'
"Internally, our natural gas mantra was 'Greenies, Grannies, and Gunnies.'
"Greenies: Natural gas is the cleanest nonrenewable fuel.
"Grannies: Production of a domestic supply from Alaska would help those on fixed incomes, such as the elderly, by increasing supply and lowering costs in a more stable price environment.
"Gunnies: Alaska's energy supplies would help lead America toward energy independence and greater national security.
"Greenies. Grannies. Gunnies. [italics in original] So Alaskan. So politically incorrect. Perfect."
Yes!
And I think that the Governor's expression "So Alaskan. So politically incorrect. Perfect" is itself PERFECT!!
I would now like to propose, as a parallel and companion to Sarah's Triple-G of perfect political incorrectness for Alaska--I would like to propose a Triple-F for her and for all of America.
FREEDOM.
FIREARMS.
FAITH.
Echoing the Governor, I think that we may say, "So American, So politically incorrect …
I won't presume to call it "Perfect," but I think that it works pretty damn well, as will be explained below!!
1) Freedom: Especially with the criminal actions of the IRS, directed against American Patriots in the last election cycle, we behold threats to our First-Amendment rights. The bastards tried to suppress the voice (and the votes) of Tea Party Patriots! Against the despots and tyrants of DC, we unfurl the banner of Freedom!
2) Firearms: The Establishment, especially the obamunists, would like to disarm us. They want to take away our guns, in conjunction with stripping us of freedom of speech. Patriots understand that the first two Amendments support and buttress and reinforce each other. Our enemies too know this.
(We may also encompass a strong national defense under this heading. We have our PRIVATE and PERSONAL guns; then we have the PUBLIC "guns" of the American People, that is, our military might. And this military might, BTW, belongs to the American People, not to the individual who may happen to hold the title and power of Commander-in-Chief at any given moment!)
3) Faith: The secular humanists, led by their "messiah," their false "god," barack obama, are trying to suppress religion in America. Our Founders, on the contrary, realized that a FREE people must also be a MORAL people. And great political leaders down to our day, including such luminaries as our great President Ronald Reagan and the UK's Prime Minister, Lady Margaret Thatcher, have recognized this truth.
Now, element # 2, Firearms, comes appropriately in the MIDDLE of the schema given above. We must be FREE (#1) to use them, but FAITH (#3), religion, and morals are necessary to, or at least very conducive to, restraining us from the immoral and irresponsible use of guns
Thus, numbers 1 and 3 above (BTW, "Faith" is listed as # 3, not in the sense that it is less important than the first two, but rather as a kind of climax and culmination!)--numbers 1 and 3 help to define and demarcate the proper role of and limitations of #2.
In turn, Firearms, # 2, help to protect and ensure and uphold Freedom and Faith, #s 1 and 3!
Now, I would like to propose the thought that the Governor, just as she was working on a physical gasline in her time at the helm of the State of Alaska, may be preparing to extend a moral and intellectual "gasline" to all of America.
I would thus like to adapt her words from the passage above to the situation of our present day, and leading up to 2016 and beyond:
"Our approach to moving Constitutional Freedom forward was both innovative and simple: Explain the importance of our Constitution to ordinary Americans. And get them involved. That meant our war room became every kitchen table, town hall, classroom, and living room across the lovely length and breadth of the United States of America.
"We reached out. We asked citizens, 'These are your intellectual and spiritual resources, so what do you think?'
"Internally, our Constitutional mantra was 'Freedom, Firearms, and Faith' "
Let's give it a grade of F: FAILURE of obama's attempt to "fundamentally transform" America.
FREEDOM, FIREARMS … FAITH!!!
