Palin to Students: 'Cling to Your God, Guns, Constitution'

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin challenged students at a Christian university to change the culture by infiltrating areas like journalism and Hollywood.

“Get out there and influence culture,” Palin said Friday at Southeastern University in Lakeland, Fla., according to The Ledger.

Palin, the Republican 2008 vice presidential candidate, took the nation’s political institutions to task, telling the students that Washington, D.C., was a “hotbed of cronyism” and that the “federal government is bloated, corrupt and out-of-control.”

“Cling to your God, your guns, your Constitution,” Palin said.

During the question-and-answer session, Palin drew loud applause when she said, “God deserves so much better than what we give him. What has happened when we can’t say his name in public?”
