Protecting the future of America and her citizens took only one bold move. Pick a girl, right? Wrong. Pick a conservative who is unafraid of the “country club” political machine. Pick someone who is not an Ivy League elitist who learned to play along to get along. Pick a person who faced every challenge by taking the “high road;” not because it was easy, but because it was the right thing to do.
The beauty of Sarah Palin has nothing to do with her being physically attractive. The beauty in choosing Palin lies in the reaction of the American electorate, and the political establishments. Those who choose political teams based upon emotion are in full boil over. Some of the far left web site members have gone as far as to attack Palin’s daughter and her 4 month old child. Those on the left who stuck their fingers in their ears singing “lalalalalalala, I can’t hear you,” when the word “experience” was mentioned, suddenly cling to that very word. Those frustrated and miserable at the thought of Senator John McCain representing them on the GOP ticket, are now excited.
No matter which side of the aisle you tend to hang out with, we are all sick of the corruption that permeates within our elected Representatives; so is Palin, and she has stood up to it. On the issue of Foreign Policy experience, well, she has enough experience to know that having former leaders of a terrorist group host a fundraiser for you is not a smart move. Those who claim to be fighting for “women’s” issues have been exposed for their real agenda: political ideology, not women at all. Let’s face it, NOW is so desperate they point out that one of Palin’s appointee choices was accused of sexual harassment. This is the same group who supported President Clinton despite his abuse of power with a young intern, and even Clinton’s wife, who also defended this man’s actions. Who do they think they are fooling?
To some, picking Palin was a sign of McCain’s desperation. Earth to you folks, America was desperate to do something about the blind faith in a candidate based solely upon his race and ability to promise fairy tales by reading a teleprompter. Hollywood style politics has gotten us into the mess we face with government insiders and their thirst for bigger chunks of your wallet, along with a total disregard for our Constitution. We have become fans of teams with a donkey or an elephant mascot, instead of individuals applying our proclaimed values equally to each candidate.
Perhaps the most disgusting display of ridiculous political thinking is what I refer to as the Vegas attitude. This is when someone says, “You can’t vote for him (her), he (she) can’t win.” Have these folks lost their minds? Entering into the voting booth is not placing a bet at the black jack table. Many lives have been sacrificed, much blood has been shed, so that each of us can walk into a voting booth and choose the person who most resembles the representation you believe you deserve. This is particularly disastrous in our primary elections when we are convinced that the incumbent is deemed entitled. No one is entitled to any office or position. For anyone the least bit confused by this, I recommend you revisit the writings of Thomas Paine.
America faces many challenges. Many Americans have seen the gradual demise of liberty and prosperity in our country. Palin has proven she is up for that challenge. Many of us were ready to head to our shed, grab a pitchfork, and head to Washington, DC. Instead, may I suggest that we recognize the emergence of The Surge II. So head to the shed, but forget the pitchfork; instead grab the shovel, hand it to the enemy and say, “go ahead, keep digging.”
