Onyx, Thanks for the ping to this terrific article. It really synthesizes the great battle which is approaching in 2012 between the elites (personified in Obama), on the one hand, and the American people, their Constitution and Almighty God (represented by Sarah Palin) on the other. It is a time for choosing, as the saying goes.
I particularly liked the author’s use of “common sense” versus “leftist tunnel vision” dichotomy. It reminded me of the dripping contempt with which these same elites (and that includes the GOP elites, the Bushes, Rockefellers, Romneys, etc)always held Reagan. In much the same way that Palin is able to puncture their bilious balloons with pithy one liners, the Gipper used to say with a smile:
“It’s not that our liberal friends are wrong...it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”
I must say that I would only take issue with one historical analogy that the author makes: Given Sarah Palin’s propensity to allude to the Book of Esther (and even to quote it in responding to the elitist press which, of course, didn’t get it), I think the current elites more closely resemble the evil Haman, who persecuted and tried to destroy Esther’s people before she bravely risked her life (after praying and entrusting her life and mission to God) to approach the king (which was a capital offense) to save her people.
Come 2012, that is exactly what she is going to do.
Your comments have put a smile on my face: “Esther.”
BC, do you believe Palin has been “chosen by God” (not my words) to lead the nation and world at this specific point in time?
God is watching.
