Ralph Peters N.Y. Post column nicely makes the point most of figured out a few weeks ago; Sarah Palin is authentic and millions of Americans identify with her. Her faith, her sincere patriotism and her values sharply clash with those on the political left and so, they despise her. Their vicious and unending attacks on her will not stem the tide of enthusiasm for this lady that is spreading across the country and growing week by week, despite the leftist's droning criticisms and daily attacks on everything from her politics to her appearance and even her family. These nasty attacks are only bringing people to her side. I think the leftists realize that but don't know what else to do. They are frantic and becoming desperate.

Just a month ago their Marxist candidate was pulling off the Big Con and convincing Americans he was really not what he seemed to be; a committed leftist with a chip on his shoulder against the white middle class, capitalism and those of religious faith ("clinging to their guns and religion"). This was "the Democrat's election to lose". Then, the uninspiring McCain campaign with a conservative base that was lukewarm, at best, to the 'maverick' McCain, picked Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate. She was a basically unknown quantity but we knew she was a conservative and that gave us hope. Then, her great speech at the Republican convention made Sarah Palin a 'star' and changed the race from a possible win by Obama to a very probable win by McCain/Palin. You gotta love it! "God works in mysterious ways". I agree.

For years, the leftists have been the arbiters of what is 'politically correct' (I hate that term). Now, average Americans - by the millions - have a national political figure they can truly identify with - and she is unabashedly not politically correct. Unlike President Bush, who, while a sincere man, nominally conservative and a Christian who didn't try to hide his faith, but who came from a wealthy, politically-connected family, Sarah Palin is truly the American Story.

Not from a wealthy family, didn't go to Harvard, Yale or Princeton, doesn't travel in the 'right' social circles. Sarah Palin is real and we identify with her. Meanwhile the left, considering themselves so elite that the rest of us should simply do as they say and think what they tell us to think; be ashamed of our country, abandon our religious faith while trying to appease those of foreign religions (Islam) and kill our unborn children, just to name a few big leftist shibboleths, are gnashing their teeth over this upstart woman from Alaska, of all places, upsetting their plans for gaining power in this country so they could diminish it as quickly as possible while pretending to be trying to 'help' us.

Governor Palin has blown that leftist Potemkin Village sky high - just be being herself. She is the engine that will drive John McCain to victory, a big victory, in November. The Clinton era is dead. The Palin era is in it's infancy. I can't wait for tomorrow!
