(AP Photo/Ed Reinke)</p> Bill Bruss of Winfield, Ill., gives away plastic bags in the vendor area at the National Tea Party convention in Nashville, Friday, Feb. 5, 2010. (AP Photo/Ed Reinke) advertisement NASHVILLE - Sarah Palin, in a speech that was short on ideas but big on enthusiasm, took aim at President Barack Obama and the Democrats, telling a gathering of "tea party" activists that America is ripe for another revolution. Noting his party's dismal showing in elections since Obama moved into the White House a year ago with talk of hope and promises of change, Palin asked the gathering: "How's that hope-y, change-y stuff workin' out for you?" Her audience waved flags and erupted in cheers during multiple standing ovations as the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee gave the keynote address Saturday at the first national convention of the "tea party" coalition. It's an antiestablishment, grass-roots network motivated by anger over the growth of government, budget-busting spending and Obama's policies. Palin's 45-minute talk was filled with her trademark folksy jokes and amounted to a pep talk for the coalition and promotion of its principles. The speech also was rife with criticism for Obama and the Democrats who control Congress, but delivered with a light touch. Aside from broad conservative principles like lower taxes and a strong national defense, the speech was short on Palin's own policy ideas that typically indicate someone is seriously laying the groundwork to run for the White House. Indeed, Republican observers say she's seemingly done more lately to establish herself as a political celebrity focused on publicity rather than a political candidate focused on policy. Catering to her crowd, Palin talked of limited government, strict adherence to the Constitution, and the "God-given right" of freedom. She said the "fresh, young and fragile" movement is the future of American politics because it's "a ground-up call to action" to both major political parties to change how they do business. "America is ready for another revolution!" she told the gathering. Palin suggested the movement should remain leaderless and cautioned against allowing it to be defined by any one person. "Let us not get bogged down in the small squabbles. Let us get caught up in the big ideas," she said, though she offered few of her own. The former Alaska governor, who resigned from office last summer before completing her first term, didn't indicate whether her political future would extend beyond cable news punditry and paid speeches to an actual presidential candidacy. All she offered was a smile when a moderator asking her questions used the phrase "President Palin." That prompted most in the audience to stand up and chant "Run, Sarah, Run!" But, given the plethora of attacks that Palin leveled at Obama, she seemed like she was already running against him. And, perhaps, as an independent. She talked little about the Republican Party and encouraged "tea party"-aligned candidates to compete in GOP primaries. Palin ribbed Obama for Democratic losses in New Jersey and Virginia governor's races last fall and in a Massachusetts Senate race last month, saying: "When you're 0-3 you'd better stop lecturing and start listening." On foreign policy and national security, Palin said he had "misguided thinking" and a pre-Sept. 11 mindset. Her fee was $100,000 for the appearance at the for-profit event. ___ On the Net: National Tea Party Convention: http://www.nationalteapartyconvention.com (c) 2010 The Associated Press.

They all get a piece of the Alaskan oil wealth. The people of Alaska are great !! Their politicians are corrupt !! The Alaska state constitution claims common heritage rights of ownership of oil and other minerals for the people of the state as a whole. Citizen dividend checks are distributed every year in Alaska out of the interest payments to an oil royalties deposit account called the Alaska Permanent Fund (APF) created in 1976 after oil was discovered on the North Slope. The APF is a public trust fund - a diversified stock, bond and real estate portfolio - into which are deposited the oil royalties received from the corporations which extract the oil from the lands of Alaska. The first citizen dividend check from the interest of the APF was issued in 1982 and was for $1000 per every person for everyone in Alaska who had resided in the state for at least one year. Annual citizen dividends have been issued every year since then, for a total of more than $23,000 per person. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4331035 We do know that due in large part to the citizen dividend payments combined with the happy consequences of no state income or sales taxes, Alaska is the only state in the United States where the wealth gap has decreased in the past decade. The citizen dividends from the APF are an important and significant source of income, especially for rural families maintaining more land based subsistence lifestyles. Palin's Alaska: Funded by Oil Profits Tax If Sarah Palin gets past this press cycle and remains the Vice Presidential nominee on the GOP ticket, there might be one interesting item from her brief tenure as governor of Alaska that would be worthy of discussion on the national stage -- her state's windfall profit sharing from oil leases. It turns out that every person who has lived in Alaska for over a year gets a $3,200 payout from the government thanks to taxes on oil companies; a family as large as Palin's would receive over $22,000 a year. No wonder she is popular with voters in a state whose residents pay no income or sales taxes but are blessed with state coffers rolling in cash at a time when all other states are suffering. Indeed, when the oil companies pay more taxes to the state of Alaska, they get to write that off against their federal tax obligation, leaving the rest of us to make up the shortfall. But wouldn't it be -- I don't know -- communism to take money from the oil companies and give it to citizens? Not according to Governor Palin. When John McCain says that she "took on" the oil companies as governor, what he means is just that -- she raised taxes on oil companies. sigh... Remember, truth = elitism. Democratic socialism seems to work well for Alaskans. Would Jesus be a capitalist or a socialist ? Hmmm.. Feed the hungry. Help the poor. Throw the money-changers out of the temple.

The telltale signs are his preference for moral certainty and frequently expressed dislike of nuance. "This intolerance of ambiguity can lead people to cling to the familiar, to arrive at premature conclusions, and to impose simplistic cliches and stereotypes," the authors argue in the Psychological Bulletin. It's apparent in the recent discourse on health care reform, how they continually adhere to misinformation and lies that don't even make sense. Even when confronted with the truth, they deny it. The same happens with subjects like the death penalty. They continually believe, ideas different from theirs are causing America to deteriorate, even though history shows us that the most Liberal period of our history was filled with growth and advancement and prosperity on a far larger scale than seen since that time. Even those things can be explained as blind philosophical fantasy. What is disturbing, is they all state ideas and opinions that reflect resentment and anger toward others. A lot of the comments are even buttered over with a rancid garnishment of bitterness. Feelings related to a unnatural fear of loss of control seems to drip from almost every comment This almost rises, at times, to a level of paranoia. Some of this becomes so strong it borders on the delusional. Distaste and disdain for almost every racial minority leaks from even the most benign of comments. It appears, fear of loss translates most often into greed but the self-centeredness seems to boil from deep within. Even, when not directly stated, it's obvious in how their principles lack respect or care for those less fortunate than they. And like most unbalances, they seem to be wholly unaware of their condition, even to the point of incessant denial.

We (when we have it) enjoy spending money in malls, online & going out. We are the country that has more theme parks than any other in the world & parents do not think twice on spending $1000 on at weekend at Disney. We like flat screen tv's, mani's & pedi's, driving nice cars & fine dining. Our top rated tv shows have been everything from Dynasty to Real Housewives of anywhere USA because we love watching how we'd like our finances to be...bigger & wealthier. We invented advertising & prefect it every day because we have also cultivated the consumer. We are an nation of keeping up with the Jones's; we have shown we are mostly spender's & not savers...and we've got in to a rough financial time because we are spenders, yet we want more, we dream of more & we plan on having more aka the American dream, Republican, Democrat, Conservative, Liberal, Independent and yes even those who identify themselves as Socialists, we all live as capitalists & you know thats TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Sarah Palin delivered a humorous speech at the Gridiron Dinner last December. WASHINGTON (CNN) - Sarah Palin's political action committee doled out tens of thousands of dollars last year to Republican consulting firms and donations to GOP candidates, according to the PAC's end-of-year filing with the Federal Election Commission. But Sarah PAC also paid one Democrat $14,000 for what the FEC report terms "Consulting, Communication, Speech." That Democrat was Eric Schnure, a former speechwriter for Al Gore, who was hired by Palin to craft her humorous speech to the Gridiron Dinner in Washington last December. Schnure, a speechwriting veteran who recently signed on with the communications consulting firm Dewey Square Group, calls himself a "proud Democrat." But Schnure said he had no problem helping a Republican - even one as polarizing as Palin - with a speech designed to make people laugh. "I think humor is one of the last bastions of bipartisanship," Schnure told CNN. "She elicits strong opinions on both sides of the aisle, but I think most people in Washington are savvy about these things. And they understand these humor events have a special place."
