The Surge II: Pick Palin
By Sherri Reese – Protecting the future of America and her citizens took only one bold move. Pick a girl, right? Wrong. Pick a conservative who is unafraid of the “country club” political machine. Pick someone who is not an Ivy League elitist who has learned to play along to get along. Pick a person who faced every challenge by taking the higher, not because it was easy, but because it was the right thing to do.
The beauty of Sarah Palin has nothing to do with her being physically attractive. The beauty in choosing Palin lies in the reaction of the American electorate, and the political establishments. Those who choose political teams based upon emotion are in full boil over. Some of the far left web site members have gone as far as to attack Palin’s daughter, and her 4 month old child. Those on the left who stuck their fingers in their ears singing “lalalalalalala, I can’t hear you” when the word experience was mentioned suddenly cling to that very word. Those frustrated and miserable at the thought of Senator John McCain representing them on the GOP ticket, are suddenly excited.
A New Day
By Randy Evans – “She is a nice enough person, but she is not ready to run a company.”
“She just does not have enough experience yet to lead a team.”
“She needs just a little more time.”
“She has a family to raise, and a husband to take care of.”
“She is not the most qualified candidate – so it would not be fair to
let her have the job now.”
Olympic Inspiration
By Randy Evans – The 2008 United States Olympic Team has made America proud. It could not have come at a better time. Just as the “down with America” drumbeat seemed to have reached its peak, up stepped a group of athletes that reflect the best that the country has to give.
Of course, the biggest story of the Beijing Olympics was Michael Phelps. The United States earned twelve Gold Medals in swimming. Michael Phelps got eight of them. While his feat was truly historic, it was his character and personality that made him so special. Everyone wanted him to win, and win he did. He won big, won close, won as a part of a team, won individually, and won with class.
