Sarah Faling praises free market at Las Vegas convention

[DainBramaged]

Sarah Palin likes Las Vegas, free enterprise and shopping centers.

She dislikes the Gulf oil spill, East Coast elites and big government.

“You understand the opportunities that we have here, especially in America,” she said during a speech Sunday at the Las Vegas Convention Center. “Let me ask you, do you love your freedom that you have here in America? Well, so do I.”

The former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate was the featured speaker for the International Council of Shopping Centers convention. The convention was part of RECon 2010, the world’s largest gathering of real estate professionals.

Palin was expected to talk about leadership, but the speech was heavy on national politics and personal anecdotes. About 400 people attended the event.

Palin said an airline lost her luggage as she was flying from Alaska to Idaho for a Saturday speaking engagement. She said she was able to get new clothes, however, thanks to a local mall.

“What would our communities be without our shopping centers?” she asked. “Meeting our needs is what it is that you do.”

1. A whole lot of shopping centers suck the lives out of communities

use scarce resources and demand property tax abatements...

5. Before the housing bubble burst ...

... seems that there wasn't a tract of woods, meadow or farm field that wasn't turned into a shopping center or a plaza (you know the ones - pizza place, nail salon, tanning salon, a Walgreen's, maybe a dry cleaners).

The only benefit of the housing bubble is that the march to consume open land has slowed to a near halt.

2. Sarah Palin: "Meeting our needs is what it is that you do.”

Meeting our needs...is...what it is...that you do...

6. Why would anyone pay this idiot to make a speech about

anything? She has found a way to scam people that's for sure.

7. "WE LURVE OUR FREEDUMB"

She fancies herself a latter-day William Wallace, doesn't she?

I'm fairly sure the real Wallace wasn't functionally retarded though.
