Sarah Palin a small town American. More in a moment.
Sarah Palin, the current governor of Alaska, a virtual unknown in the national political ring has been thrust into the national spot light by being tapped as the 2008 Vice Presidential nominee for the republican party. What can a first time governor possibly know about national and foreign policy? What can she possibly bring to the table of serious political thought?
I consider myself a well informed individual when it comes to political issues, and I have very strong opinions on all of them. They are based on knowledge, small town values, and god-given common sense. I do not agree with all "right wing" thoughts nor do I disagree with all "Left wing" thoughts. I make up my own mind. I am a product of "small-town America", as is Sarah Palin.
Small town America, where you can leave your doors unlocked and your car running on a cold winter day with out fear of it being stolen. Small town America; where neighbors watch out for one another. Small town America; where going to church is OK. Small town America; Where they still say the pledge of allegiance, and God is not a dirty word. Small town America where it is taught that all things are possible. As the small business is the backbone of our economy, the small town is the backbone of America.
Sarah Palin brings to the national political arena her life's knowledge of small town America, and the sense of right and wrong that comes with that upbringing. Between the megalopolises of the East and West Coasts of America there are tens-of-thousands of small towns, and all have these values. They/we, are the silent majority. We are educated and informed. We know the difference between feels right and feels good. We know there is no gray area; it is right or it is wrong. We take responsibility for our action. Sarah Palin is what we would do if we were her. We are small-town America.
