Our First Paliniversay ........ A National Love Affair Turns One

It was a year ago today that Sarah Palin walked onto the national stage and raised us up. Those of us who were fed up with a limp GOP moving center left, we're thrilled with a principled conservative, a rugged individualist VP pick. It saved a McCain campaign on life support.

McCain had it right when introducing her. He said, "she's exactly what we need, she's exactly what this country needs". Bingo.

There is no artifice with the woman. You couldn't write a more perfect resume, Raising her kids, involved in the PTA, elected mayor of her hometown where she stopped wasteful spending and cut property taxes, elected to the oil and gas commission where she stood up to lobbyists, special interest, the old boy network .... the rest is history.

What a year it has been for her and us. Looking back in hindsight - could the differences between Palin and Barack be more stark? Obama is all artifice. Palin is all real, all that. Obama is all style. Palin is all substance. Obama is anti-American. Palin is all-American. Obama holds the US military in contempt. Palin reveres the military. The military loves Palin. The military is on to Obama. The corrupt activist media loves Obama. The corrupt activist media loathes and libels Palin.

Despite the attacks and lawsuits by freaks in Alaska working for Obama's hatchet men Palin perseveres. Hampered by the ethics lawsuits and attrition, she moved on to take on the enemy within, here, on the front lines. When Palin made her "farewell" speech last month I said, her speech was no farewell address at all but a commencement address."I will fight even harder for you, for what is right and for the truth," she promised. "And I have never felt I needed a title to do that!"

Her speech embodied what a great American sounds like, and what a President ought to sound like. Palin made no apologies. She said nothing like Obama's inane drone of "America's best days are behind us." No tearing down of our nation. Obama ranks on us; Palin raises us up and speaks of national pride.

Palin wasted no time in taking on the big boys yet again and winning. No slave to the the leftist feudal media caste system, Palin circumvents the O-propagandists and disinformationalists. Sarah, alone, with her Facebook page as her unfiltered messenger calls out the rotting, decaying vultures in DC on their death panels and they recoil to their nests and pull the death panels out of Obamacare legislation. Palin, alone, on her unedited facebook page declares no healthcare reform without tort reform and she gets Howard Dean to confess they won't take on the lawyers. You can't make this stuff up.

She's a marvel and wonderful to watch. She is a lioness.

Palin is all content. Obama is all about playing the race card. The Obama mop up will be huge. The Republicans are going to need a "real" genuine article, that's our girl Sarah, plain and tall.

Many of us saw the divergent paths America would take with the 2008 election
of a radical or the election of a patriot. America, in the well
intentioned interest of putting the first black man in the White House, never
looked beyond color t0 content of character.

America fell for the smooth talking boulevardier, like an impressionable school girl. But once you've had one of those you run the other way.

I suspect America will be running far and fast from the destroying Democrats into the arms of the pure and the good. When the pendulum swings, its swings hard and fast.

Happy 1st anniversary Sarah. Looking forward to the next 50. I love huh!
