That is what the styrofoam pedestal elites are missing.

Sarah Palin is a regular guy. The Founding Fathers wanted a government where people would serve a few years and then go back home. Not life-long Representatives and Senators.

Sarah Palin made contact with many Americans on various issues last night. Again, she showed herself to be a regular guy.

And, she came up in a typical, regular way -- area university rather than an elite Ivy League school, a professional major that was NOT pre-law, an area job as a sportscaster, a member of the local PTA, etc.

She personifies the vision of the type of leaders the Founding Fathers intended. And that mortifies the lefties, the Dems, the elites, and the MSM.

Yep! I wrote this a few minutes before Palin’s speech.

Katie! It’s NOT the United States of D.C.!

What a bunch of arrogant, ignorant jerks! Yes, the media. I’m stuck with CBS’s Katie Couric to cover the Republican National Convention and Sarah Palin.

She described Palin, after a profile spot on the independence of the people of Alaska, as being part of the ‘extreme fringe’. It wasn’t an act. Katie really is that stupid. And dangerous. Witness the elitist, power broker mindset and it’s nothing new. Why don’t you just say it Katie, the look of your disgust for anything you can’t understand is apparent.
“ Knuckle draggers, rednecks, White trash”....that’s what she wanted to say.

Katie thinks she’s safe merely insulting the state of Alaska, but what she’s too narrow minded to see is that those same kind exist in every state. She insulted us all. The millions upon millions of us that Katie describes as the ‘extreme fringe’ have watched her kind through out the history of this nation as we settled and built it and fought for it so idiots like her could spout their uninformed opinions. Surprise! I hate to be the one to tell you, Katie, it wasn’t illegal aliens from Mexico! It was people just like Alaskans. People who love the land, love their kids and value education and independence above most things except God and Country. They don’t need her or her socialist ideas and that offends her.

She’s the kind that cleaned Native Americans from their homes because, after all, they were mere savages. “The fringe...” All Katie shows is how little she knows of what the United States of America is supposed to be or what its people are like.

Craig Ferguson, unfortunately on CBS, said it best describing what the United States of AMERICA meant to him becoming a new US Citizen. This isn’t the exact quote, but it’s close.......

America is the expression of people who just want to be left alone.

Katie reminds me of an encounter with a New Jersey banker, likely a Biden supporter, a few years ago. His daughter was marrying a relative of mine and they flew out to Oregon for the ceremony. After the libations, he took my hand, explained how they expected to find dirt roads, kerosene lamps, no means of transportation and people who couldn’t form a sentence. He said, “We’re so delighted! You’re just like us!”

I took my hand back, smiled and did not say, ‘Oh, my, I hope not!”

Katie just doesn’t get it.
