To the editor:
Back in 2008, right at the peak of the McCain/Palin, Obama/Biden presidential election, I wrote a scathing opinion to the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman about Sarah Palin (titled “Caribou Barbie”), and five years later, I would like to recant my opinion and tell the people of the Mat-Su Valley just how wrong I was at the time.
The Frontiersman published the opinion and it drew a lot of comments, mostly negative, and here we are almost five years later, and I want to pass on what I have learned.
In closing, Sarah Palin warned us, and that is irrefutable. But I have learned from it the hard way. Instead of “forward,” which is the current battle cry, it seems that “backward” is the new norm. I shudder to think what this country will be like in the next four years.
Yes, Sarah warned us, and some listened. I don’t agree with her all the time, but what is intriguing is that she somehow knew. How, I ask? Not sure, but she knew, and that is fact. Maybe I should have listened.

You forgot critical thinking skills...
I’d have posted the entire letter, but I thought that doing so was frowned upon here.
it’s just a brief letter stating that Sarah was right when she claimed Obama was a socialist and would redistribute money, among other things.
Sometimes, links don’t open for me on mobile, maybe it will open for you later. It’s just a short letter, nothing earth shattering, but just someone else realizing they were wrong.
Jesus said something about prophets never being accepted in their own country.
>>What a pathetic apology. He was wrong about what? What did Palin correctly predict?<<
“She stood up and said clearly, openly and without reservation just exactly what Obama would do and how he would do it. She said that he had socialistic — if not Marxist — views, that wealth would be taken away and redistributed and that he would create a new economic dependent class. Not to mention a power grab in the justice department and what appears to be complete control over all government functions, regardless of opposing dissent.
And here we are in Obama’s second term, and who could argue now that Sarah didn’t have it right all along? Not only was Sarah dead-on the mark, it is shocking to see just how far along this radical agenda has evolved. It would be an understatement to say that Sarah most likely understated her case. I would guess she is more surprised then I at what has transpired thus far.”
Now all you need to do is to get someone to read it to you.
See post #12.
>>I agree with you. Whomever Charles Fredericks is he doesn’t seem to express himself very well. I have no idea what he is trying to say.<<
Another 1998 who can’t read. Simply amazing.
To make proper amends: set yourself on fire in front of the White House.
Of 2008.
Have a great day!
You were late with wisdom then; you should have shutup, since your attempt at credibility now means nothing.
Exhibitionism then, exhibitionism now!
Thanks for the information.

You’re welcome. It just got better.
Peace out.
I told a friend, his views on abortion were an abomination, and his views appeared to favor socialism and Marxism. I sometimes referred to him from then on as Obamanation.
She wouldn't vote for McCain, but didn't vote for Obama either. I kept telling her that she should look at it not as a vote for McCain, but a vote against Obamanation. She stayed home anyways.
They say it takes a big man to admit he’s wrong, but we welcome you back into the fold. Sarah’s always been right just some don’t want to listen for whatever reason.
