Sarah Palin is all about fighting big government. She wants them out of our lives (unless you're a woman who wants an abortion. then she wants government to tell you what to do). She's sick and doggone tired of them being all up on our backs and stuff. Here she is bitching on her new reality show about Michelle Obama's program for kids that promotes alternatives to desert:
According to CNN Palin keeps harping against dessert death panels:
It's not the first time Palin has taken a job at Mrs. Obama over her campaign to discourage fattening foods, especially from public schools. The former vice presidential nominee told conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham last month that "the first lady cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children, for their own families in what we should eat."
Palin also hand-delivered cookies to a Pennsylvania school last month before delivering a speech there, saying: "Who should be deciding what I eat? Should it be government or should it be parents? It should be the parents."
I'm glad that Sarah Palin has it clear about who has what power in government and what constitutes big government. We already know she wasn't exactly sure what the Vice President did before being asked to run. After her nomination, she then went on to explain to children that the Vice President's job was really neat because they got to be in charge of the Senate. So it's not surprising that she would see a program initiative by the First Lady as big government, even though it is not anything of the sort.
Sigh.
Ms. Palin, I know you will never be a First Lady so you're probably not familiar with the role and the duties and executive powers that go along with it. As you'll recall, the First Lady, Michelle Obama, was sworn in along with her husband on inauguration day. You know, right before the guy in charge of the Senate got sworn in. As a duly elected official she has been placed in charge of anything she wants. Mrs. Obama has chosen to regulate our children's diets. You'll recall the last time you went to the grocery store, strike that, the last time you sent Piper to the store looking for s'mores ingredients, the clerk at the store had to confiscate the food from her under the new federally mandated dessert death panel law. It has been tragic to see child after child crying as their mother is whisked away to jail for having given them a cookie.
So, Sarah, what do we do to fight this big brother interference in our lives? I guess, maybe, if we don't like Michelle Obama's mandates, we can always just say no.
