I am a huge fan of Governor Sarah Palin. Because my Province of British Columbia borders the great state of Alaska it was always interesting to follow the going's on up above my head. She hit my radar about ten years ago and I celebrated her every success. The biggest question asked by the left wing is 'just who does she think she is going to 'take America back'" from as she often says? Who does she think she is? Here is this Canadians view:
Palin wants to put control of America back into the hands of the people where (according to your constitution) it should have always been. When you have elected officials mocking millions of people who are trying to tell them what they want and do not want and they ignore them - refuse to meet with them - call them names - shall I say "Houston, we have a problem!"
That is what took place and it is the central reason why millions of Americans are so angry at their elected reps. They did not listen to them in spite of the warning that were sent and will indeed pay a price for their ignorance as they should. These people are Republicans, Independants and even Democrats. These people have put their party banners down and united for a cause that can be no greater for any mortal man. The future of their own country.
Many try and make this an "Obama problem" but it is a festering American and world political problem that has been brewing for at least twenty years. It is about progressive ideology which is socialism and again, socialism is not a dirty word. It is simply a system of governing that has been tried and has failed over and over again. It makes people dependants on the government and robs them of individual freedoms and individuality. Many try and label it a race problem but America has moved beyond that stop sign of ignorance. Are there still racists? You bet ON BOTH SIDES OF YOUR POLITICAL FENCE.
But not rampant among the regular every day American who has been rising up and reiterating those famous words "We are mad as hell and we are not going to take it anymore." They are demanding honesty and fiscal responsibility from their government which is a good thing. They want hand ups to take precedent over hand outs in our daily lives. They want to keep their individual freedoms and that is something I predict they will not give up without a fight as they should.
The elite have taken control of all of our countries and just because some of them have a diploma from the likes of Harvard does not make them smart. I say all the time even the Scarecrow went to Oz where the Wizard gave him a piece of paper saying he had a brain. It did not mean he really had one and it certainly did not mean he was smart. What it may have meant was he had a good ability to read the words other people wrote for him. In my opinion life experience is worth far more and we need to knock our elites off the pedestals we have had them on. Common sense is a great ability that enables those of us who decide to use it great decision makers. Honesty and integrity are not things we are taught but things we either have or do not have. Life experience is often our best lessons.
Our choice as citizens is to become part of those seeking a solution or stay with the status quo. People in America have made the choice and are going after the elite who have driven our countries almost to their knees.
They are a controlled voice in America and it is one that is starting to resound around the world that real change will only come in our governments if we the people stand up and demand it happen. These people are moms and dads, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, grandma and grandpas. These people are us.
This Canadian is relying on their drive and will to lead the way back to sanity in all of our countries. I am viewing what is happening in America from my side of the fence and I like what I see.
Our choice is to become part of those seeking a solution or stay with the status quo. One thing is for sure either way everyday Americans are coming after the elite who has driven your country almost to it knees. Like a train they are heading to Washington state by state and those who do not want to support real change had better get the hell outta their way!
