           Jesse Jackson got early Secret Service protection when he ran for President. Obama asked for and got early Secret Service protection  in the last election. They should do the same for Sarah Palin.  Do I think there is a great risk to her life? Yes I do. I used to worry about it a little. But now I worry about it a lot.  Top people in the Democratic Party and the media  were quick to call Palin a racist during the last election.  And that planted the seeds of hate into the minds of a lot of people.  Then again after the shooting in Tucson, they said Palin was responsible. And the threats to Palin went though the roof. Sarah Palin had to increase protection for her and her family.  The people who tried to blame Sarah Palin for the shootings in Tucson were idiots.  Some of them were idiots.  I think some were intentionally trying to provoke violence against Sarah Palin.

”But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech.”-Dr.Martin Luther King

      In May Sarah Palin was supposed to speak at an event by the Sharon K. Pacheco Foundation. But the Foundation canceled the event due to safety concerns. In a press release they said “Due to an onslaught of personal attacks against Gov. Palin and others associated with her appearance, it is with deep sadness and disappointment that, in the best interest of all, we cancel the event for safety concerns,”.

           Just like Dr. King, Sarah Palin just wants to do God’s will. This is not the Promised Land that Dr. King spoke of. This is not the Dream he had. The treatment of Sarah Palin is a dishonor to the Legacy  of Dr. King.

  There is no question or debate about it. Sarah Palin should get early Secret Service protection if she runs. And even if she does not run. The government need to do more to investigate these threats.

Dr.Martin Luther King’s “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech-

And they were telling me, now it doesn’t matter now. It really doesn’t matter what happens now. I left Atlanta this morning, and as we got started on the plane, there were six of us, the pilot said over the public address system, “We are sorry for the delay, but we have Dr. Martin Luther King on the plane. And to be sure that all of the bags were checked, and to be sure that nothing would be wrong with the plane, we had to check out everything carefully. And we’ve had the plane protected and guarded all night.”

And then I got to Memphis. And some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out. What would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers?

Well, I don’t know what will happen now. We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn’t matter with me now. Because I’ve been to the mountaintop. And I don’t mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I’m happy, tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

Obama talked about innovation and big ideas in the State of the Union speech. The American people are doing just fine in these departments. If we did not have worry about the government going broke , we would do even better. States and the federal government do not know how to balance a checkbook. Maybe they should focus on innovation and big ideas in that area. To lead by example is the best thing government do. I would not take advice from a family member in debt. Why would I take advice from a government that’s 14 trillion in debt. You can not inspire innovation if you know nothing about innovation. 14 trillion in debt does not come from years of innovation. 14 trillion in debt comes from years of bad ideas. Sarah Palin was right when she said, “There were a lot of “WTF” moments throughout that speech.”

I would love a ‘Sputnik Moment’. Securing our borders would be a sputnik moment. Ending the river of illegal drugs would be a sputnik moment.Stopping terrorists from coming across the border would be a sputnik moment. Phoenix Arizona is becoming kidnapping capital of the world. Stopping Mexican drug cartels from taking over American cities would be a sputnik moment. Maybe these are not sputnik moments to Obama. We do not need a sputnik moment. We just need the government to do it’s job. After many years and billions of dollars they can’t build a fence. They can put a man on the moon, but can’t build a fence. WTF?

How is killing the budget for NASA winning the future? Cutting the federal budget is not rocket science. We need NASA. We do not need the NEA. We do not need NCCAM. If I pray for a person with HIV will it help them? That is the kind of research NCCAM spends money on. The National Institute of Health does a lot of great work. There are a few research projects that need to go. Research into cancer and HIV is a must. Tobacco Research is something we can do without. State Department budget should be cut to 30 billion. The State Department need innovation and big ideas. All it has now are stupid ideas. Trillions can be cut from the budget. We do not have to cut food stamps. We do not have to raise retirement age. We just need a President that lives in the real world. What sounds good in a speech does not always work in the real world.
