Thank you for this post - I do appreciate the candor and honesty involved. Was looking for conservative posts to link back to, and will definitely give this one more attention; what you're saying about the inability of liberals in elite positions to understand the experiences of more ordinary Americans is important.

I started my interest in Politics in 1960. I was in YOUNG DEMOCRATS back then because someone paid for my membership fee. They thought I was good material for leadership.
Long Story short I became a HS Teacher and used my money to pay for my interest and activism in current issues.
I marvel at your talents to write such long, coherent articles.
Keep It Up!

I like that: "The heels are on but the gloves are off."

I think what Sarah single handedly changed was the balance between those who are pro-life and those who are pro-abortion. [you'll have to google 'gallop abortion' and look for "more americans pro-life than pro-choice for first time" - my cut and paste has stopped working. :$] Pro-life is in the ascendency for two years running.

I think re fiscal conservatism that she is the right person in the right time. Reagan and Mrs T had a mandate for huge change coz they came in to sort the mess out created by the left: Carter and Old Labour respectively.

And every day, BHO is resembling Jimmy Carter. And Sarah is resembling Reagan but with MORE economic knowledge. Sarah's an 'Austrian' whereas Reagan was a Friedman Monetarist. For example: Reagan should have stopped the Fed from setting interest rates. Should have returned the Federal Act to its original state where it was illegal for it to buy government treasuries. But i give Reagan HUGE credit for having the politcal courage to put interest rates up to 20%. I can't blame him for the budget deficits because he had a cold war to win and a democrat congress to deal with.

Sarah fits the times and thus the bill: she contrasts herself with so called 'elites' who are nothing of the sort. A JD - BFD! Sarah knows Austrian economics. She sounds exactly like Peter Schiff and Dr Ron Paul ... when it comes to the economy that is. He's written 6 books on Austrian economics.

People are starting to realise that governemt interference and corruption caused the housing boom. Conservatives no longer having to defend Bush, are free to state a truth: George Bush messed it up: he was UNconservative. Conservatives now openly criticise George Bush for deficit spending and BHO is worse. They say "conservatism didn't lose in '08, George Bush republicanism lost. Republicans lost their way. They stopped being the party of Reagan."

Ronald Reagan put country b4 his career by embracing the recession of the early 80s as the cure to purge the economy of the mal-investments. He knew: no pain, no gain. that US had to take the tough medicine and go through the recession.

But George Bush did the opposite: he didn't want to go thru the post dot.com bust depression. So he and Greenspan created a housing bubble by cutting interest rates to 1%.

The criticism of Bush is relevant because BHO is doing the same only 10 times worse. BHO is yet another president without Reagan's courage to take the tough economic medicine.

I see the same character qualities in Sarah Palin as in Ronald Reagan. I also see that BHO is left-wing that even Jimmy Carter might say in relation to BHO "woah - that's a bit too liberal, Barack."

Sarah fits the bill more and more every day ... and the bill fits Sarah more and more everday ie she gets more refined on policy and the economy will collapse under BHO.

And just as Sarah Palin will be increasingly seen as Krytonite to BHO, BHO will increasingly be seen as Clark Kent rather than the caped crusader who will save the day.

Me too. Sarah was the reason I became a political junkie. Sometimes I wish my old life was back, but then I would've missed out on all this fun.

Good for you! You know, I too, am still kind of new to all this political stuff, but I am trying to get an understanding of it, and learn more.

I think I got my first interest in politics just when 9/11 happened, which is why I posted my last post on my blog. Ever since that day, I have tried to learn and absorb as much as I can about politics, war, conservatism, and everyhing else.

And now I have found myself, here on Blogger with a lot of really decent, down-to-earth like-minded people, such as you.

I still have a long way to go, but I am trying. I may not be as educated as most on here (I only have a G.E.D.) but at least I am trying to hold my own. One good thing about all this is I love research, and I love to read.

Thank you for a great post. I wish Mrs. Palin and Mr. McCain had won. At least I voted for them.
