Brigitte Gabriel, president of ACT! for America and author of ‘They Must Be Stopped‘ appeared on Hannity’s show last night to discuss the polls regarding President Obama’s religion, as well as the plans for the Ground Zero Mosque. Gabriel is joined in the discussion by FOX News Contributor Pat Caddell.
If anyone can shed light into the beliefs of Islam, it’s Ms. Gabriel. She’s been there, done that, and is proud to be away from it.
Nikkie Haley, Republican running for Governor of South Carolina, is one impressive candidate. She’s for term limits, cutting spending and taxes, pro states’ rights, and so many more common sense issues that everyday Americans care about. She will have to have a runoff after this primary, but I feel confident she will win the runoff, and ultimately the gubernatorial race for South Carolina.
HANNITY: Yes, I think your race is very interesting because of what you’ve just said there. You made a very important distinction that I make often: There’s a difference between Republicans and conservatives. Are you saying that you’re more of a conservative than Republican?
HALEY: What I’m saying is that we’ve seen a lot of Republicans that have learned the talking points but they haven’t learned the conservative actions associated with the talking points.
You know, we are long past the day of electing someone because they look good in a picture or they hold a baby well. If they are not going to fight for the taxpayers, if they are not going to make sure that they understand this is not their money to spend, then we don’t need to have them.
It is time that we look at what it means to be conservatives. And that’s not bailouts, that’s not stimulus packages. It’s not Washington. It’s prioritizing our spending, understanding that we reward those for being successful, it’s about strengthening small businesses, and if you do that you encourage the — you know, you encourage the economy. It’s pretty simple business.
I’m pulling for all the strong GOP women who advanced in last night’s primaries. And Nikki sounds like she knows EXACTLY what America needs to succeed and to get rid of the career politicians in Washington. She’s refreshing in that she’s all for common sense, which is what we really need. Truth be told, politicians have really made the term “common sense” and oxymoron over the past several decades.
Sarah appeared on Sean’s show to discuss all the hot topics of today. Partial transcript from the Fox News website:
HANNITY:Governor, I — all these women yesterday, many of whom you endorsed, were very successful. How do you interpret the results of yesterday?
PALIN: Yes, I heard you list some of them, including there, too, Susana Martinez in New Mexico, some of the gubernatorial candidates.
You know, these are just good patriots who are willing to put it all on the line and get our country and our states back on the right track economically and militarily. They just use common sense and they know the Constitution, they want to protect the Constitution. We’re lucky to have them as candidates.
It certainly doesn’t have anything to do with my endorsement, to tell you the truth. Because, truly, like John Wooden said, it doesn’t matter who is right, it matters what is right. And what is right is the message that they have to get our country back on the right track.
And Americans are craving that. We’re sick of the big government, Obama-touch on this country and we’re going to do something about it.
HANNITY: Yes. Well, there are three cases in particular where both you and the Tea Party Movement supported, for example, Rand Paul in Kentucky, Sharron Angle out in Nevada and this case of Nikki Haley who’s going to be joining us later in the program tonight.
So those are three instances where the Tea Party and Sarah Palin supported the winning candidate that the establishment did not support.
So are we to read anything into that?
PALIN: Yes, yes. Even the Republican machine needs to understand that hey, we’re not going to put up with those in the machine that have strayed from the planks and the platforms that are supposed to be building this country into an even more exceptional country than America already is.
So the machines on both sides of the aisle, Democrats and Republicans who have believed that government is the answer, we’re sending a message to them. That’s what the Tea Party is all about, just getting government back on the side of the people and really independents.
Surely everyone’s seen the YouTube video of the guys using hay to sop up crude oil out of sea water…I know it made the rounds in my circles. Well, those guys (Darryl Carpenter of CW Roberts Contracting), as well as Nichaolas Pozzi, an engineer, and Alia Sabur, a professor of nanotechnology, all appeared on Hannity’s show tonight to hopefully get more attention for their ideas.
Shades of Occam’s Razor come to mind. In other words, why look for difficult solutions when usually the simplest is the most effective? All of the guests have asked for and been turned down for audiences with BP or other government officials (except for Alia, I think), but I hope their appearance on Hannity tonight will urge those in charge to give them a call. It darn sure couldn’t hurt, now could it?
