The Palin Movement

The success of Sarah Palin is not so much about Sarah Palin as it is about Americana and the need for us to express ourselves in real and understandable terms. Our leaders in Washington have become politically entrenched and unresponsive to the American people – as they are demonstrating by continuing to force one economically crushing bill after another down our throats as we – The People – try to dig out from under a recession brought on us by those very blunderers sitting in Congress today. For too many years we have had to go to the polls and hold our noses as we choose between poisons – now we want to go and be clear about what it is we are saying. America is defining itself, we are searching for a way to get back to the founding principles of the republic and drive back the overwhelming oppression of the federal government that has become so massive the founders would not recognize us. All across the country The People are stepping up sending a message to Washington that we want ‘change’ – but NOT the change that is being thrust on us by our current leaders that is taking us to tyranny.
There are two phenomena going on in this country today and both are helping the Sarah Palin movement.
The first is the ascendancy of Conservatism. There is no doubt Americans have had enough of the unchecked growth of the government sector. The election of Liberals has clearly defined what Conservatism is – we’re the OTHER side. The answer to halting and turning back that growth is in the Conservative movement – better known as ‘getting back to basics.’ For over one hundred years Liberalism has been in high-gear roaring toward an ever-larger government sector supported by crippling taxes in America and ‘We The People’ have had enough. Both major parties bought into the concept in varying degrees with the result being an overwhelming burden on The People. We are taxed to the max, our liberties are being trampled and we see many people setting themselves up to be Leaders In Perpetuity in the New World Order. In 2006 voters fired the Republicans for failure to rein in spending. Now we have a group of Democrats demonstrating that they cannot only outspend the Republicans, but they can also destroy our freedom at the same time.
From this ascendancy comes the second phenomenon – a vacuum in a leadership role within the Conservative movement. To go along with the clear-cut Conservative way of thinking there needs to be leaders with Conservatism as their sword slaying the fat dragon of Liberalism. There are many adherents to the Conservative movement in varying squishy forms, but no one who is standing up with a voice who will lead us forward. Sarah Palin is the only one out there right now who can articulate Conservative principles and has a history of adhering to them.
Of course, that’s what drives the media and the Left INSANE about her – that and FEAR. The media and Left not only hear her Conservative principles, but they also see what she did in Alaska and THAT scares them to death. Not only is she Conservative, but she’s a Reformer as well. She casts aside the idea that what is already in place needs to stay there and does not accept the concept of being “Democrat Lite.” THIS is what scares the HELL out of the Left. She has demonstrated she is willing to ROLL BACK their hard fought advances. The inch-by-inch, slow-but-steady, patient incremental advances the Left has made by laying guilt on Americans as “unjust” or “unfair” hold no water when held up to the light of day as Palin demonstrated in Alaska. Those long-held beliefs of the Left are easily torn down when Americans begin REFORMING them. The Left screams and cries and stomps their feet shifting into “personal attack mode” as their last resort – and that’s when we know they are losing and are afraid. Rush Limbaugh has long asserted that the Left always tell you who they are afraid of by who they attack. The Left knows that if she ever gets into a position of national power they are going to see rollbacks in the progressive of advancing their agenda.
The American people have found a voice in Sarah Palin. The media and the Left can scream all they want, but they KNOW We The People are coming for their jobs. Sarah’s supporters can be found in the ‘mobs’ of the TEA Parties, in the long lines of ‘un-Americans’ at her book signings and in the enthusiastic ‘unpatriotic’ crowds that show up to hear her speak. She speaks our language. We don’t ask that she have graduated from one of the elitist snob schools of the Ivy League, we don’t want her to nuance her words, we aren’t asking her to win on the debate team, we are tired of being ‘guilted.’ We want a leader who speaks to our hearts. We The People are tired of disappointment and we’re tired of holding our noses at the ballot box. Sarah is the ONLY one with the courage to step up and show us she has the steel to say the things that need to be said and do the things that need to be done.
