Palin: Americans Shouldn't Have
Faith in 'Arrogant' Church of Big Government
On Saturday, former Alaska
Governor Sarah Palin blasted the "scrooges" waging a "war on
Christmas" and their "zealot-like" faith in an
"arrogant" church of big government run by the supposed best and the
brightest that has only caused "irreparable harm" to America.
She said the "arrogant"
church of government does not have "faith in your ability to govern
yourself," so "you should not have faith in it" because "it
does not have faith in us."
Speaking at an Iowa Faith and
Freedom Coalition dinner, Palin said "enough is enough" of the
"politically-correct police out there" and blasted the scrooges
waging a "War on Christmas."
Palin said Americans needed to
take action to resist the "fundamental transformation" of society
that many Americans "never signed up for." Echoing themes from her
book, Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas, which
comes out on Tuesday, Palin said that "religious freedom is under
attack," and religion is "pushed out of the public square" and
"censored." Palin said one will see the censorship and double
standards "blatantly come this holiday season."
She said that the war on Christmas
sounds like an oxymoron but it is real, "a symptom of a bigger
issue," and "just the tip of the spear in a larger battle."
Palin then noted that the
"scrooges who are too enlightened for religion" have a very
"zealot-like faith in the church of big government."
"What's that done for you
lately?" Palin asked.
She said the "church of big
government" is run by the supposed "best and the brightest," and
she slammed the recent National Security Agency spying scandals, the
barricading of the World War II Monument during the partial government
shutdown, and the recent failures of Obamacare, which she said was the church
of big government's "crowning achievement" to date.
She blasted the "best and the
brightest" in the Obama administration for believing "hicks in
flyover country" or "hockey moms in Alaska" do not know what
health insurance plans are best for their families or cannot run their own
lives without government interference.
Palin also said the "lapdog
media" allow the "best and the brightest" in the church of big
government to "get away" with lies and bad policies, which has caused
"irreparable damage" to the country.
She said under the "church of
big government," there have been "shuttered businesses and
cities" and "poverty has gone up," while a "record number
of Americans are giving up and no longer bothering to look for work."
"Where has that gotten
you?" Palin asked.
She then blasted "immoral and
unscrupulous" leaders who "ignore the Constitution in favor of their
fundamental transformation agenda" while "enriching themselves and
their cronies while their nation goes bankrupt... that's dictatorship."
"We’re not wards of state but
free men and women who can live good lives without D.C.’s appointed best and
brightest telling us what to do," Palin said.
