Coming from a rural area and having a twenty year background of dealing with environmental and leftist groups, I would disagree. They have vilified and denegrated traditional and rural culture and world view becuase it is fundamentally in conflict with their own view. Palin does come from a culture of strong traditional/Christian morals and values - not cultural relativism. However, she also comes from a world view steeped in individualism. She believes in the American tradition of protecting freedom for the individual to pursue his own hapiness and craft his own destiny. She believes in smaller and more localized government. Her worldview is positive and expansive - full of opportunity and an open horizon, while the liberal view is a constricted zero sum game populated by victims and corporate perpetrators, dependents and big government nannys.
Perfectly stated.
