Sarah Palin Loud and Clear — “ Cling To God, Guns And The Constitution ! ”

Stressing a need for the nation to remember God, the former Fox News Commentator, and Alaska Governor and Republican Vice Presidential nominee urged conservative-minded students to  "Get out there and influence culture..... The future of the country depends on what you do...."

Speaking at a leadership forum at Southeastern University in Lakeland Florida on Friday, Sarah Palin told a gathering of conservatives to “influence the culture” by clinging to God, guns, and the Constitution. Ms. Palin encouraged conservatives to "infiltrate" the culture by studying journalism, and making a mark in things like “Hollywood” and the sports world ( See “Palin To Conservatives: Cling To God, Guns And The Constitution,”

She also asked the next generation to help change the country's moral fiber because "our foundation will crumble if we choose to ignore it."  "Get out there and influence culture.... The future of the country depends on what you do."

Palin also said that Southeastern had asked her to talk about hope and resilience. Palin indicated that she was willing to do that,  but "...not that Washington, D.C., ‘hopey-changey' blah, blah, blah stuff, but real hope." She then went on to hammer the corruption of Washington, D.C. — "It's a hotbed of cronyism... and federal spending... the federal government is bloated, corrupt and out-of-control."

Sarah Palin was introduced and questioned by Christina Gard, an assistant professor at the Southeastern University's Seventh Annual Leadership Forum; Ms. Palin felt quite at home, because Professor Gard is a former Miss Alaska. Not one to tiptoe around sensitive topics, Palin dug right into one of the reasons she said the country is in crisis —  "Today, look around, and don't you wonder sometimes if, as a nation, we have forgotten God altogether? This is a crucial question."

Since Sarah Palin has always been fluent in popular culture and sports, she discussed those avenues as  prime examples of how young people might move out and "infiltrate" the culture.
