A Corner Turned?

Slowly, almost mystically, a feeling emerges in the conscious mind. As the Democrats pounce on the daughter of Sarah and Ed Palin, we are witness to the strength of the Palin family. It is eerie how much one is reminded of the story of Theodore Roosevelt, a famous Republican president at the turn of the last century. Roosevelt, you may recall, was the man forced upon William McKinley as a running mate in the election of 1900. Roosevelt proved to be a wise choice, for his strength as a campaigner was evident from day one. The Republicans won in a landslide, running on prosperity restored to America, and a very successful war with Spain. Sound familiar?

Fast forward to September, 2008. Candidate John McCain, in a surprise move selects a woman, Sarah Palin, to be his vice presidential running mate. Some have said that the Conservatives forced her upon McCain, much like Roosevelt was forced upon McKinley. The two, Roosevelt, and Palin, share the same love of the outdoors, the same no nonsense approach to governance, and both surely share the same tenacious approach to solving problems. The first, a man, the second, a woman. I'm not asking for Mount Rushmore considerations here, but, in America anything is definitely possible. In America, the improbable has a habit of becoming the very possible.

Let the hordes of MSM messengers have their way. It will backfire on them in the end. As we like to say here in New Jersey, "Teddy and Sarah, Puhfect together!" Ironically, it was on september 2, 1901, that Teddy Roosevelt, speaking at the Minnesota State Fair, offered that famous advice: "Speak softly, and carry a big stick, and you will go far." Well. McCain now has his big stick. Sarah Palin! Oh, and by the way, they are in Minnesota, aren't they? Cooincidence or fate?

Meanwhile, there are those on the Left who say America is weak, and in a state of disrespect around the world. They say America is a downright mean country. They also say that America needs "change", and "hope". They say the American military wantonly kills defenseless women and children on foreign fields of battle. They fret over the "rights" of enemy combatants, and utilize the courtrooms of America to advance their twisted view of " world citizenship."

This is all said about an America we love. An America that has lead the world in it's agonizing march toward peace, and democracy. They say they want to lead our America, and I say there is a country in this world fit for their leadership visions. I do not know where that country is, but I do know that it is not the United States of our America!

The children await, they learn well, and a new school year is upon us...
