This was too great to be lost as a response.....

a great bit written by one of our own....

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.

Thanks for posting. I agree with this blog deserving its own thread (note: the blog link in the other thread is down). Well written. The analogies pointed out are valid. The story of Sir Ernest Shackleton and the crew of the Endurance is incredible (I think it's in IMAX now). The analogy is possibly a little over the top at times (i.e. did Sir Ernest have his lifeboats stray off course to endorse someone in AZ?), but Sarah is a courageous leader who faces her huge challenges headon as did Sir Ernest.

Did Sarah really put that same sign/ad on her office door on 7/3/2009? If so, that is way cool.

Didn't someone just recently discover his stash of Scotch Whiskey near his Antartic hut?

Thank you very very much!!! Outstanding, what more can I say! Sign me up as well

I hope somehow you could get this to Sarah to read herself, I am certain she would be deeply moved and encouraged.

Thought he was talking about Rusty Shackelford.

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”.

[Servant of the Cross]

her biggest contribution is bringing many like minded people together.

This is definitely a big contribution by Sarah. However, I think her biggest contribution thus far is pointed out in this post on a thread in the wee hours of the morning by CondoleezaProtege:

without Palin's efforts and "death panels" statement, the healthcare bill would have passed BEFORE the scott brown election...and her comments had a lot to do with fundamentally shaping people's disconcertment over the issue.

Sarah Palin's leadership and voice for conservatism has already helped to "fundamentally shape" the will of the people in profound ways.

Thanks for the ping!

And some, even here, hate her for that!
