Astute observations from the New York Sun on Sarah Palin and her positions on Israel.

She is clearly not part of the 'go-along-get-along' school of Republican politics and that is so refreshing. Those who constantly yammer that she hasn't been specific enough on this or that issue (a year before the primary season) haven't paid attention - or choose not to. Palin has staked out positions on Israel, for one, and doesn't seem to care much whether the GOP elites approve or not, nor should she. This is another reason Sarah Palin remains a favorite, not of the leftmedia or the GOP elites, but of hardworking, fed-up-with-Washington conservatives and many Americans who want something different and not the same old, same old 'electable' candidates spouting compromise and conciliation with the left - and losing to the Democrat. Not this time.

Excellent point.

At this point a read (or reread) of William Buckley's “God and Man at Yale” would be quite instructive for those who call themselves Conservative.

Many people in the RINO wing of the OGOP hate her for that, while conservatives love her for that. Since the GAGA faction will actively oppose any real conservative reforms, they must be exposed for what they are; conservatives need to stop appeasing the GAGAs.
