What follows is the
most recent interview, maybe the only
interview, of Palin since her departure from Fox News. Future generations, after the Left’s rewrite of history, will not know of Sarah Palin’s rise to power - against
all odds – and her remarkable ability to remain influential all these years
following her selection as VP candidate in the 2008 election cycle. Of course,
the Vulture Press immediately began to attack her character, filling the news cycle with slander and
unfounded lies (some lies have
foundation, but the stories told about
Palin were simply “made up” out of thin air.) At any rate,
she is still here and some of her critics are not. It is just incredible to me, that the Left
elevates Joe The Blowhard Biden and his irrelevancy over the continuing stardom
of Sarah Palin. Understand that those
who continue to pitch Palin as “stupid”
could have never given an acceptance speech as stirring as was her’s, at the national convention in 2008, a speech that over shadow all others at the
convention. Now one would have done a
better job in her 2008 debate with Joe Biden.
No one can deny her success in speeches given to the Asian financial
community, auditoriums that were sold
out for her appearances to that part of the world. In the following, I call this interview
Palin’s response to
rumors of her demise

From Brietbart.com:
In my research for the film I made on Governor Palin, The
Undefeated, I was constantly amazed at the anti-establishment stands she took
at every step in her rise to power. Moves that a conventional politician would
run from, she embraced: in Wasilla, in Juneau, and in the rise of the Tea
Party. Her ability to see “over the hill” to what is really important, what
really matters, is what sets her apart.
Andrew Breitbart embraced the Governor as a fellow warrior
in the long struggle against a detached and venal political/media complex. He
lives on in spirit and through the work of those he inspired—including, but not
limited to, those who report and contribute at his site.
The Governor has been at the forefront of the fight against
the Permanent Political Class and, as such, inspired Peter Schweizer and myself
in our
work last night on Fox News with Sean Hannity’s special “Boomtown.” We
consider ourselves honored at Breitbart News to have her share with us her
thoughts on the road ahead in this exclusive Q & A.
1. What's next for you?
Short term: I encourage others to step out in faith, jump
out of the comfort zone, and broaden our reach as believers in American
exceptionalism. That means broadening our audience. I’m taking my own advice
here as I free up opportunities to share more broadly the message of the beauty
of freedom and the imperative of defending our republic and restoring this most
exceptional nation. We can't just preach to the choir; the message of liberty
and true hope must be understood by a larger audience.
Focus on the 2014 election is also imperative. It’s going to
be like 2010, but this time around we need to shake up the GOP machine that
tries to orchestrate away too much of the will of constitutional conservatives
who don’t give a hoot how they do it in DC. DC is out of touch, obviously.
Voices on the right like Mark Levin, Rush, and the writers here at Breitbart
have come out strongly against the “go along to get along” politicians who wave
the white flag before the battle even begins. We’re not going to be able to
advance the cause of limited constitutional government unless we deal with
these big government enablers on our side. And this all ties into the problem
of crony capitalism and the permanent political class in the Beltway. We need
to consistently take them on election after election – ever vigilant.
As far as long-term plans, the door is wide open. I know the
country needs more truth-telling in the media, and I’m willing to do that. So,
we shall see. And always in the center of it all I have an awesome, full,
exciting, and large family living in a very unique part of America that keeps
me hopping! I love it!
2. Where do you think the country stands at the beginning of
the President's 2nd term?
Before the November election I wrote that we all know what
Obama’s second term will look like because we’ve seen his first. I said:
“We know what we will get from a second Obama term. We will get the same
failed policies. We will get Obamacare locked into law. We will get a debt
crisis. We will get more inflation and higher gas prices. We will get tax
increases. We will get fewer jobs. We will get more small businesses collapsing
under the weight of higher taxes and unfair regulation. We will get more
corruption and crony capitalism favoring the Obama administration’s friends. We
will get less domestic energy development and increased dependence on terrorist
sponsoring foreign regimes for our energy needs. We will get a 'blame America
first' foreign policy that bows to our enemies and snubs our friends like
Israel and leaves America and the world less safe. We will get less opportunity
and security for ourselves and for our children.”
Predicting the future has never been easier because here we
are! Already we see higher taxes, a stagnant economy, the same inflationary
monetary policies, Obamacare looming like a dark cloud over small businesses,
yet another demand for “debt ceiling” increases, continued stonewalling about
the tragic Benghazi attacks, a Secretary of Defense nominee who has a history
of being antagonistic to our ally Israel, and the attack on our Second
Amendment rights by an administration that has no respect for the Constitution
or the separation of powers.
The problem is that some on the Right are now skittish
because of the lost 2012 election. They shouldn’t be. Conservatism didn’t lose.
A moderate Republican candidate lost after he was perceived to alienate working
class Reagan Democrat and Independent voters who didn’t turn out for him as
much as they did for the McCain/Palin ticket in 2008. Granted, those same
voters also didn’t turn out for Obama as strongly either. We had an election
defined by a biased media plus millions of voters who sat it out in disgust. As
long as we allow the media and GOP establishment to tell us who our nominees
must be, we can expect to lose. I’m not interested in losing. America’s next
generation can’t afford another loss.
3. The MSM have declared both you and the Tea Party
dead and buried. Reaction?
I was raised to never retreat and to pick battles
wisely, and all in due season. When it comes to defending our republic, we
haven’t begun to fight! But we delight in those who underestimate
us.

Source and editorial comment: from the 1000plus comments, Sarah Palin remains very popular as a leader
in the conservative movement. But “comments”
is not the only witness to this continue reality. See the article in Daily
Mail for additional
confirmation. Of course, the reason why you have to read of Palin’s
popularity (ranking 5th on a
recent list) in an European press release is because the American press did not carry the story, only that Hillary was the run-away winner of
this poll (which she was).
