Interesting comparison of courage, determination and character. Unfortunately, Shackleton failed on all three voyages. If Palin really wants the White House she’d better be more prepared that Shackleton was.
It’s about character.
Save for frequent re-reading.
Our original Revolution did not stand a chance against the best trained Army of its day, but having leaders that belive in the cause can overcome much.
So far Sarah Palin has been the only one that I have heard that expresses much of my beliefs.
Will she make it to the White House, it is hard to say, I will certainly vote for her if I get a chance.
However, her biggest contribution is bringing many like minded people together. For years the gatekeepers of the media have suggested that liberals were mainstream and anyone on the right was a “kook” or “extreme”.
