BULLETIN!
The following blog was written in September of 2008 within a few hours of first hearing the name of Sarah Palin. I thought it might be interesting.
Halfway through the Palin speech Wednesday night, the camera cut to Palin’s small daughter spitting on her hand & trying to smooth the hair of her Down syndrome brother. At that point I had to exercise every control mechanism I had to keep from jumping out of my chair. I told Juda, “This is a God thing.” Why? Because it was so real- so human.
How much more could a woman like Sarah Palin do to prove she was truly pro-life than to welcome such a special needs child into her family, when she could have easily aborted the child & few would have known. Again; Palin is real!
Let me be candid. When Barack got through with his “Rock-star-like” speech from Denver, I told Juda, “You can stick a fork in McCain, he’s done.” Why? Because Barack’s speech was so good? No! It was an eloquent speech but my assessment sprang from the fact that, as far as I could see then, there wasn’t enough fire in McCain or his campaign’s belly to counter Obama’s blow-torch like heat that seemed to be growing into a conflagration.
But when Friday morning came I awoke & settled into my chair with my coffee in front of the T.V. I heard Fox news talking about a mysterious private jet that had flown the night before from Juno Alaska to an airport outside of Dayton Ohio where McCain was going to introduce his VP pick. I got excited.
Now the whole world knows about John McCain’s’ pick of Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska to be his running mate against Barack Obama.
I recently listened for a few moments to Rush Limbaugh & heard a caller say that during the Palin acceptance speech, he could hear people all over his community screaming in excitement while Palin was giving her speech. Another 75 year old Veteran called Rush telling him how excited he was for the first time in years about an election.
People all over the country are rejoicing about Sarah.
But something else is also happening. Sarah Palin is deeply threatening to the Liberals. She brought so many positives the Left immediately started digging for negatives.
We should make no mistake; this attempt at character assassination is just getting started & the objective is to get Palin dropped from the McCain ticket.
One disgusting hit-piece is that Palin’s special needs son is really her grandson & that she pretended to be with child to cover up her daughter’s underage pregnancy. Then we learned that Palin’s teen daughter Bristol is pregnant, debunking the awful rumor but still adding fodder to the attacks of angry liberal bloggers.
I'll stick my neck out here & predict that considering the fact that Obama has been roundly criticized because of his church affiliation, indeed he left his church because of it, & certainly that was wise move, Palin's Assembly of God affiliation will soon come under intense scrutiny. Just a little "heads up." Folks, "we ain't seen nothing yet." If you've seen the video circulating about Palin's church connection, & commitment to God, you'll have an idea of what I'm talking about.
It was reported today on Fox News that there are thirty lawyer/investigators in Alaska currently turning over rocks to find dirt on Palin.
What is it about Palin that’s so threatening to the left?
Aren’t they the ones who are on the side of women & who have so ardently promoted the concept of the working mom? Maybe, the truth is- the Women’s groups aren’t really supportive of women; they are only supportive of liberal women. In reality, they probably feel a woman with five kids should be at home applying for a handout from them. And shouldn’t her union husband be on a picket line?
The fact is, any woman today not knee-deep in liberalism will be mocked & viciously attacked. Look what they’re doing to a good, popular, promising woman & her family.
We should pray hard for John McCain during the next few days & weeks because these angry & vindictive people won’t hesitate to cut Palin off at the knees if possible. This family & this story is a living nightmare to liberals. However I believe this is all going to backfire on them because American’s have a strong sense of fairness.
What the McCain/Palin ticket needs now is moral & financial support. What I’m doing & saying now is very much a departure for me as I’ve never been much on giving to a political party. I realize that doesn’t say much for me but it’s honest.
We’ve sent a donation to the Republican party, for the McCain/Palin campaign. We feel; especially now we should do something. They don’t need large sums from a special few as much as smaller amounts from a multitude of folk showing them they have wide support.
You may have already responded & I’m the one who’s lagging behind, but if you haven’t & this strikes a chord with you, pray about it & do what you feel God would have you do. Maybe you can send a note expressing your disapproval of the way the liberal media is treating Palin.
By all means let’s pray for all the good & decent people, regardless of their political affiliation who desire to serve this country.
As a wise man said, “All it takes for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing.”
When Old Testament Esther had the challenge to go before the king & plead for the lives of the Jewish people, Mordecai told her;
.....and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Esther 4:14
It's possible, just possible that in somewhat the same way in 2008, Sarah Palin has just such a mandate for America.
