Sarah Palin gave her highly anticipated NRA speech yesterday, and, in friendly company, she felt comfortable enough to read “you might be a redneck if…” jokes off of her Blackberry and give dire warnings that President Barack Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi were only waiting to accrue enough political capital to take all gun and ammunition rights away.

Interjecting her own personal anecdotes to give credibility to the jokes, Palin opened her speech with an anecdote on jokes she was told about her background and read a list of them off her Blackberry. The jokes were “redneck” identification cues like “if you think Walmart is expensive” and “if you’ve ever had Thanksgiving dinner on a ping-pong table” (“Who hasn’t?”). She found the resemblances uncanny, adding, “What, did they open my diaries?”

Her tone became significantly more grave, however, when she turned to the matter at hand: gun rights. While she believed the current political climate was such that the Second Amendment was, for the time, safe, she added that its enemies in Washington were simply biding their time until the right moment came along to abolish them:

“President Obama and his allies, like Nancy Pelosi, have been relatively quiet on the gun control front, not because they don’t want to limit your rights, but becasue they’re afraid of the political consequences. Don’t doubt for a minute that if they thought they could get away with it they would ban guns and ban ammunition, and gut the Second Amendment.”

Highlights from the speech below:

…‹(•¿•)›…‹(•¿•)›…‹(•¿•)›..Support “Legal Only” Immigration..‹(•¿•)›…‹(•¿•)›…‹(•¿•)›…

“Buycott” not Boycutt…Buycott Arizona. Visit the Great State of Arizona this year. I have planned a trip to Scottsdale for June. Scottsdale has some amazing resorts, great restaurants and shopping, a wild nightlife and some of the greatest golf courses on earth. They also have the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. Let’s support the Great State by spending money there. Vote out politicians who don’t support legal immigration and want to boycott this state. Business owners buy Arizona products!!!!

“Don’t doubt for a minute that if they thought they could get away with it they would ban guns and ban ammunition, ”

As usual this moron takes unsubstantiated hit-and-run potshots at the president without ever going into a venue where she would have to actually intelligently debate them.

And you Righty’s think Olbermann is bad!!

Palin = the first walking, talking, human soundbite.

Nice Teleprompters, Sarah. Also, good jokes??? Hmm… yea, they were good. Better than Leno of course, but then again cancer is funnier than Leno, and it’s fucking cancer.

But I would still like to see the anti-gun legislation that is currently on its way to the president. Or as people in the NRA would say “That SEKRIT MOOSELIMB KENYAN USURPER”. Ha fucking ha!

Palin, as usual, is RIGHT. Obama and his henchmen would love to take away all guns. They are left-wing nutballs. They just know they have to tone it down until the time is right. Anyone that doesn’t believe that is crazy.

For what its worth:

Palin offered to debate Obama on Greta Van However You Spell Her Last Name’s show that aired Friday May 14.

“If you’ve got a gun in your house, I’m not taking it,’’ Obama said. But the Illinois senator could still see skeptics in the crowd, particularly on the faces of several men at the back of the room.

So he tried again. “Even if I want to take them away, I don’t have the votes in Congress,’’ he said.

LOL

She’s right, if Barry had the opportunity he’d implement gun control in a heartbeat. To believe otherwise is pure folly. He’s a socialist, what else would you expect?

And dbag Ted proves again he can never talk about the topic at hand and can only respond with his puerile, sophomoric name calling that only stupid loser libs can do.

“A bill that Obama signed in May permits licensed gun owners to bring firearms into national parks and wildlife refuges as long as state law allows it. The new law, which takes effect in February, will replace rules from the Reagan administration that generally require that guns in national parks be locked or stored in a glove compartment or trunk.”
