Sarah Palins direct Alaskan style has started to resonate with the citizens of the lower 48 states. She attracts great crowds of enthusiastic supporters wherever she appears.

In spite of the concerted savage attacks by the established leftist main stream media, she is having a resurgence in popularity. As if grasping at straws, some are even breathlessly reporting (Martin Bashir, of NBC of course) that her bus tour of national monuments is somehow illegal?

Those of lesser character and strength would have wilted under the continued hateful attacks aimed at knocking her out of politics. But Sarah Palin seems to grow stronger as she finds an inner strength that inspires her onward and inspires Americans at the same time.

She has a disdain for the media that has repeatedly tried to undermine her at every turn, sent investigative reporters to her elementary school to dig up dirt on her and practiced the art of character assassination on her at every level, public and private. It brings a great truth to mind when you see the indomitable Sarah plow forward: "What does not kill you, will make you stronger".

It makes one speculate if that same media would have probed Obamas past with the same zeal they have gone after Sarah Palin, before the 08 election, if he would have been elected President? Would it have meant a Hillary Clinton as President instead? It is interesting to probe that possibility as we start the new political season.

When Sarah Palin first came on the scene, she spoke in a language many of us had not heard in a long time, direct truth in what she believes in, not sugar coated. That rankles many who like to ignore the herd of elephants in the living room and pretend that there is no economic problem that bigger government can't solve and simplistic all we have to do with terrorists/dictators is sit down and have a beer with them.

It will be interesting to see what Sarah Palin feels inspired to do, whether she will run for President or who she will throw her weight behind in the coming Presidential election. But one thing for sure, she will speak out fearlessly on what she believes in and that is what America desperately wants to hear.

Why are you people so gullible? obama doesn't even know how many states there are, he thought there were 57 during his campaign for prez. No wonder his handlers brought 12 teleprompters and 4 speechwriters to ireland when he visited. You don't do that for someone who is well versed and intelligent. No the well versed and intelligent might write a few note on the palm of their hand to refer to and can give extemporaneous speeches.

Given the extensive study undertaken by Obama and his wife Maloney I am pretty sure they could give a more accurate description of US History. Especially teh foundation of the country and there for the foundation of the Law which they both studied !

Sarah's just learned history of Revere and few errors in the telling is still more than 80% of the current politicians in DC would know. I'm guessing. Not bad at all for an off the top of your head. And 100% more than obama or his wife know.

"a Government big enough to give you everything that you want, is strong enough to take all that you have" - Thomas Jefferson. That folks is called a confiscatory "progressive" tax policy, enforced by the IRS with government unfunded mandates, and the controlled power of the Federal Reserve PONZI scheme, that has enslaved you into it's BONDAGE !!

In Palin's own words: "Part of his ride was to warn the British that we were already there, that hey, you're not going to succeed," Palin said to Fox's Chris Wallace on Sunday. The bottomline here is she's still wrong: It was never Revere's intention to ``warn' the Brits as well as the rebels. Secrecy was paramount. He felt compelled to ''warn'' the Brits ONLY after his capture.

I would never have an actual shooting war with you Lad, that would be a sort of fratricide which would be a mortal sin of some kind...Lets just banter this way and hopefully golf. BTW I am doing 18 today with my pals, you r welcome to round it out to 4.....Sarah Palin was asked the question off the cuff while she was shopping and mouthed off generalities about Mister Revere, but they weren't the teleprompter, generally accepted legend variety. So the uninformed who wait breathlessly to spring on her for ANY straw they can grasp, pounced. They were wrong.

Mman I would not feel comfortable waging a war of words (U.S. history) with you I am sure your knowledge in U.S. history would far surpass mine. Do you not think that Sarah's version was a little out of sync.

Lad: Paul Revere was captured by the redcoats that fateful day and warned them that the colonists were wise to their plans and warned them again they better not march into Lexington or it would be at their peril. Palin was absolutely right. You need to come over to the USA and get the news first hand, seems something is getting lost in translation in your version of the daily Kos and Huffington post.

Mman maybe Sarah is waiting for that flying saucer to take her to a higher plain or are they after her illgotten cash.

Latest poll 63% of Americans would not vote for Palin for POTUS. I love her latest gaffe Paul Revere rode through Boston "ringing bells-shooting his gun" I wonder did he awaken the British garrison as he rode by.

An absolute fabrication: She is held in disdain by the majority of Americans as a media prostitute with the intellect of a shovel.

And you fail to point out the whole bus idea was taken from an AUstralian political party who did not last very long due to their racist right wing policies, ONE NATION! if you want to learn more look up PAULINE HANSON! And you will see what Ms Palin resembles!!

Sarah Palin is nothing more than soft core political porn that Fox and others exploint to pump up their ratings while the real issues facing this country, such as jobs and the economy, are ignored.
