One Mans Opinion

Well, it's Labor Day weekend. Traditionally it's the end of summer and the beginning of football season for many; but this year it's a little different. This year, Labor Day will mark the end of Recovery Summer (an oxymoron from our friends in the White House) and the beginning of Mid-term election season.

Between now and November, there will be political ads in every newspaper and on TV and radio, and also on the 'new media' venue called the Internet. These ads will try to paint the candidates in a good light and at the same time sling mud in their opponents faces. Typical political fare for those of us that follow such things.

But this year, unlike campaigns of old, there will be one common denominator that differs from other campaigns within my lifetime... And that common denominator is Sarah Palin.

Those candidates that have her endorsement will be the privileged few to have the backing of a political powerhouse. Now, there will be those that are backed by the president, of course. And we all know that many of the democratic candidates have already tried to distance themselves from the president, fearing that their voters may be turned off by the backing (and that they actually agree with his policies). That's nothing new, but this time around there's much more at stake than losing a few votes here and there.

The democrats are afraid that they will be ousted because of how they have voted (along party lines and with the president on his failed domestic policy) and their failures to create jobs in this terrible economy.

The so-called Stimulus Bill that promised to keep unemployment under 8.5% ended up spending more money on pork projects than trying to create jobs. And unemployment is well above 9%, and in many places it's over 10%. Small businesses are hurting, and too many people are feeling the pain from this economy, as well. You are either lucky enough to have a job, or unfortunate enough to know more than a few of your neighbors that are without one.

And we can thank the democrats for this, especially Barney Frank. He said that Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac were in great shape... Right before the housing bubble burst. And we can thank people like Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi, Dirty Harry Reid and the entire Hee Haw Gang up in D.C. for the mess we now have in America. They were the ones that drove the car over the proverbial cliff; drunk off of their own power and not seeing what was ahead... Economic Disaster!

Or was this their plan all along... To drive us into the abyss as to force us all into the Brave New World of Socialism? It sure seems like it to me.

But now, we have someone fighting back against the socialist-loving politicians. Enter Sarah Palin - A woman that the left smears even though she is no longer in politics. The powers that be on the left are afraid of her, and for good reason. She is the voice of the people. All of us that are trying to make a living, pay our bills and hope that we still have a job next week. Sarah Palin is speaking for the everyman and woman out there (though some still do not heed the call). And she is trying to endorse candidates that believe in following the Constitution; the Law of the Land that the democrats conveniently overlook at every turn.

But it's not just Democrats that do this, as many on the Republican side of the aisle also tend to forget about the Constitution. They are called Progressives. And the Progressives in the Democrat and Republican Parties have led this country down the road to ruin. Soon, if left unchecked, the Progressives will sign over the sovereignty of The United States to the U.N. or God knows who else, leaving them rich and sitting in the positions they currently have, leaving the rest of us in poverty and beholding to the elites that would own the country.

Sarah Palin represents a fundamental shift in their power bases. She is a defender of freedom. She is Wonder Woman for the 21st Century (sans the fancy Super-hero outfit and snazzy golden lariat). She stands for Truth, Justice and the American Way, and she scares the bejesus out of the Progressives. Thus, that's why they continue to attack her good name and reputation. They try to concoct lies and keep repeating them, in hopes that someone will believe the lies, where it then becomes a truth. And that is the Socialistic game plan the Progressives have been playing since Sarah Palin was introduced to the masses during the '08 presidential campaign.

So, here we are, in 2010 - heading into Fall, where we will be voting in the mid-terms for candidates that will no doubt be slinging the mud in furious fashion. But remember one thing: If a Sarah Palin-backed candidate wins, that's one less Progressive/Socialist in power. And that will mean one less voice for them to shout at us that we are old-fashioned, bigots, homophobes, xenophobe, Islamaphobes, etc.

Of course, the Mainstream Media, or the 'Legacy Media' as posed by a friend, will continue to spout the DNC party line, no matter what. And they will continue to blast Sarah Palin because they fear her, too.

Not what she will do TO America, but what she will do FOR America. And that will be get us back on the path of fiscal responsibility; smaller, more responsible government and lower taxation for all.

And the lamestream media will be shown for what it is... Elitists who have been trying to brainwash us all for many years. Their yellow journalism will finally backfire, leaving many of them in the unemployment lines (Hopefully).

This is an important mid-term election cycle. There is too much at stake here to sit home and not vote. Every vote counts, and everyone should voice their concerns as to the future of America. Do we continue on the path of ever-increasing government control of our lives, or do we choose to go back to those thrilling days of yesteryear when we had the freedom to choose our own destinies?

Sarah Palin represents Change we can truly believe in. A change from the current borderline-dictatorship to the return of sanity in Washington D.C.

But that's just my opinion, I could be right!
