President Palin

Read “Going Rogue”, then decide for yourself

We’ve actually read Sarah Palin’s book, and would recommend that you do, too. Don’t take someone else’s word for what she wrote or meant. Read and think for yourself. The bonus is that you’ll be getting a window on the character formulation of America’s first woman President.

And it will be comforting, not alarming, because it will show that Sarah Palin is grounded in the faith and values that are at the core of America: be a responsible individual, use your God-given freedom to go for your highest and best dreams, and have faith that the pursuit of Christian values of family, honesty, hard work, and goodness and decency toward others will get you there. Palin’s achievements are living testimony that she walks the walk—albeit imperfectly, as do the rest of us—but she walks it nonetheless. And her achievements represent the real evidence of true intelligence, which has never truly been measured by IQ tests and pedigree, but by the good we do and embody. Sarah Palin is as bright and intelligent in the ways of leadership as anyone currently on the American political scene.

Her simple but genuine Christian faith has obviously driven the godless left completely off the cliff of rationality and into a wasteland of wince-level bile. And her ‘ordinariness’—which is actually anything but—drives the elitists of every political persuasion into the ditches of condescension from which they will never emerge with the respect of the American people.

If you read her book, you’ll also be grateful for Alaska. The frontier spirit that built America is still alive and relatively undiluted and uncontaminated in Alaska, because the rugged conditions there do not permit the rapid development of a pampered class of erudite pontificators. There’s no time for them. There’s a desire to live life free of Big Brother or Big Nanny, and a recognition in both the beauty and severity of Alaska that life is to be lived to its fullest but against a backdrop that survival and progress depend on our common humanity, our common decency and care for one another. Alaska inspires faith and brings forth the fruits of faith. Sarah Palin is Exhibit A.

Elitism and pedigree and godlessness have placed America and her freedoms in as precarious position as has ever been experienced by anyone living today. America is going to survive, however, because a solid majority is now completely awake to the fraud that has been perpetrated by the radical left that is the Obama administration. The American people are going to purge this nation of them beginning in 2010 and will finish the job in 2012, and nothing will stop them. Obama/Reid/Pelosi/Soros/ACORN/Chicago—all of them and what they represent—are going to be thrown out, and on more sweeping and complete terms as has ever been witnessed.

No wonder Harry Reid wants to go ahead and force a vote on nationalizing healthcare this weekend. He knows the American people do not want it, and are furious with what he and the Democrats are doing, and are going to throw him and all of them out. But he’s apparently decided he doesn’t care; he’s drunk the kool-aid of liberal utopia epitomized by the pipedream of high-quality, low-cost, nationalized healthcare, and he will lead the Democrat Titanic on into the iceberg. Soros must have promised Reid enough to live high on the hog in his retirement.

When the American people take back their country in 2010 and 2012, Sarah Palin will not be the cause of it, but she will symbolize it and give it a focal point. Her Alaska upbringing and her Christian faith have made her essentially fearless, and that’s the only kind of leader who can function in our current state of media depravity. She understands the nature of what opposes her; she’s unimpressed and unintimidated; she knows she stands on solid American ground.

And you heard it here first: she’ll make a great President. Not because of her personal resume, or the right inventory of personality traits or aptitudes, or a winning smile, but because of the power and rightness of the ideas she represents. Good judgment, fortitude, faith, love of the foundational American ideal of limited government, combined with trust in the power of individual freedom and responsibility under God. Bingo. The left saw these qualities in Lincoln--the backwoods ignoramus—and Reagan--the amiable dunce. Sarah Palin fits right in.

President Sarah Palin. Bring it on.
