Could this be a historically awkward arrangement of the following words: Fuel America with Terrorist-Tarred Oil Instead of Drilling Our Own, Baby?  Or has Austin Powers hacked Sarah Palin’s Facebook account?

This is indeed what has been published at her Facebook page:

Fuel America with Terrorist-Tarred Oil Instead of Drilling Our Own, Baby?

Am I the only one who wonders what could possibly be the agenda of any politician who would thwart our drive toward energy independence? Continuing to lock up America’s domestic energy reserves, including the energy-rich Last Frontier of Alaska, only equips dangerous foreign regimes as they fund terrorist organizations to harm us and our allies. I’m going to keep speaking and writing about this in the simplest of terms until someone can provide a simple answer as to why liberal Democrats don’t understand that we have safe, warehoused onshore and shallow water reserves waiting for permission to be extracted. They either choose not to understand the geology, science, and technology behind an “all-of-the-above” approach to energy security, or they understand it, yet for whatever frightening reason choose to be lap dogs to Chavez and Ahmadinejad.

Shoot, I must have lived such a doggoned sheltered life as a normal, independent American up there in the Last Frontier, schooled with only public education and a lowly state university degree, because obviously I haven’t learned enough to dismiss common sense (a prerequisite for power in Washington these days). Help me out, friends! Help someone like me – and the majority of Americans – understand why we would ever kowtow and bow to foreign regimes that hate us, instead of doing all we can to starve the beast of terrorism in our plight for security, prosperity, and peace.

There’s an obvious common sense answer to our need for security and energy independence, but don’t hold your breath waiting for common sense to surface in Washington – it’s an endangered species there. Obviously we must responsibly develop our God-given domestic oil and gas reserves right here, right now; we must conserve energy; and we must develop renewables that are based on sound science, not snake oil and favors for political pals.

Please read the following Newsmax article (posted below) summarizing GOP efforts to push the Obama Administration to produce a plan to potentially wean us off one source of dangerous foreign oil. (Of course, I think the prodding should be even more aggressive to shake up the naïve complacency of anti-development Democrats and some deer-in-the-headlights mainstream reporters who are finally realizing they’d been buffaloed into believing any politician had all the answers.)

We must understand the imperative nature of energy security, along with America’s life and death need to secure our borders. Baby, this is why I won’t sit down and shut up about the need to drill.

- Sarah Palin

She even links to NewsMax, hahaha.  Shall we play a game of count all the Palinisms?

1) “fund terrorist organizations to harm us and our allies“

Yes, there is absolutely no denial from anyone that middle-east oil companies have funded terrorist organizations. Thankfully our military and intelligence agencies have long since found this out and now we find ourselves against buffoons unsuccessfully blowing up themselves, their underwear, their shoes, and really not a whole lot of sophistication in their recent tactics, techniques, or equipment.  So, I am going to chalk this as routine talking-point left over from the Bush years that your writers probably just copy-paste now instead of actually take the time to type out.

2) “doggoned”

I think you’ll find the hokey “Soccer Mom Palin is just like you dumb-shits” cracker-barrel sociolect has played its hand, it lost, and is now over staying its welcome.

3) “lap dogs”

I will admit that I believe you have significant experience with this one.

4) “Last Frontier”

I can only imagine that Alaskans say this about their homeland to themselves and visitors. God knows I am from a far north rural area of Michigan that is still inhabited by those that have never been more than 25 miles away from their home in their entire life.

5) “someone like me – and the majority of Americans”

Despite the fact that I routinely come into shocking evidence supporting this… I still cling desperately to the notion that my fellow Americans are singularly quite bright. Unfortunately as a group…. eh…*shaking head*

6) “God-given domestic oil and gas reserves”

Yes, I am certain that god’s plan involves raping our natural resources at such a rate that it destroys His other creations. And certainly he would have put his stamp of approval on the USA oil only.  No, all the middle-eastern oil couldn’t possibly be given to them by god if ours was!

7) “deer-in-the-headlights mainstream reporters”

Most reporters have put you in their headlights! Well, except for that one that kept you talking while a man killed a turkey in the background of your Palin Pardons a Turkey gaff.

“buffaloed into believing”

I actually like this one. I have no idea what it is supposed to mean but its funny.

9)  “Baby, this is why I won’t sit down and shut up about the need to drill.”

You really, really have to stop calling me “Baby”. Its kinda creepy sounding, a bit like stripper/whore verbiage.

Mrs. Sarah Palin… you never disappoint at making me laugh.
