She is like a glacier moving under the forces God created, slow but steady and unstoppable. by Mark Vogl

When I was a child, I saw a movie starring Errol Flynn. It was a movie about a young Irish lad in America, full of confidence and searching for his future. He had faith in his body, and his ability to defend himself. He came from a large Irish family where you had to be quick witted to survive the evening meal...or any meal for that matter. My first wife came from such a family, and they were something to behold. The dining table was loud, and fun, and they made you think! Well Jim Corbett, the man Flynn played would become a fighter and eventually he would fight his way to the world championship with John O. Sullivan, another Irishman. Corbett would win, and show class to his defeated opponent. "Gentleman Jim" was a true champion. And so is Sarah Palin!
Sarah is taking America's plight head on and she has laid out her priorities in a plan.
One of the most essential aspects of Sarah's plan is that she realizes America needs to create wealth here in America. We have to stop our dependence on the rest of the world, for energy and goods and services. Let's get back to being the world's Main Street, the world's producer of energy, the world's leading nation of commerce and industry. Sarah wants to develop America's domestic energy reserves! And we have a lot of them. The Congressional Research Service publish a document which outlines the huge identified coal, oil and gas reserves of this nation. According to their repot America is in possession of more energy reserves than any other nation on the planet! Sarah says, drill here, drill now!
One of the great things about Sarah is that she is an America! You laugh, but she has not been assimilated, internationalized, corrupted by the Ivy League, globalism, and the ruling elite. International corporations based in America care about the bottom line, not about America. There's a problem with that. Those corporations have the money and time to wine and dine those who run America, you and I don't. And we have been electing people who are not America - Firsters. They do not see a conflict with giving subsidies to these international corporations so they can build factories in foreign lands and hire foreign workers. Part of America's problem today is that the world economy is re-settling and America is financing a lot of that. Yet, much of our own population is unemployed or under employed and no magic formula from the classrooms of the Ivy League or anywhere else has figured out to fully employ America! Oh sure they can put kids and seniors to work in fast food places. But factories, workshops, craftsmanship, mechanical engineering...all pushed away. A whole class of makers and fixers and inventors disenfranchised from the nation of Ford, Hershey, and so many other builders.
Folks this is important. Not pie in the sky, not dreams which cannot be fulfilled. We sit at the beginning of the twenty-first century and many including our President talk about our decline. If he has a personal faith in a Christian God his policies and actions don't reflect it. If President Obama believes in a combination of Christianity - democracy and republicanism - capitalism, he ain't showing it. President Obama is still at war in the Mid East, and is still using socialist and government planning economics to try to start the American economy. And it won't work. Americans are individuals, not mobs. While many politicians try to push us into categories...we don't fit there. Americans make their own way. Now if you want to hand them things, many will take it. But when you do that, you take away the virtues which made Americans great, ambition, self-confidence, belief in God, responsibility, survival instincts.
