REACTION TO GOVERNOR PALIN'S INTERVIEW WITH GRETA VAN SUSTEREN (FOX)

After watching this evening's interview with Fox News pundit Greta van Susteren (Palin's first post-election interview) Governor Palin remains, to my mind, the clear leader of the Republican Party at this juncture. She is also crucial to the recalibration of the GOP’s future as a genuinely conservative entity.

If the Republican Party fractures and comes to be fully controlled by a herd of anemic, martini-swilling donkeys in elephant-suits, we shall witness the marginalization of "Heartlands" all across the nation, the deprecation of Heartland people, and the dismissal of the contributing Christian voice in America–--which will be held-up to unending ridicule and disrespect.

What happened to Palin during this bizarre campaign is a microcosm, a bellwether, of what will happen to the entire body of true American conservativism, if Obama, Pelosi, and Reid accomplish half of the havoc they intend to wreak. Do you want to know the reason why Palin has been so vilified by sterile, foetus-eating old wart-charmers like Gloria Steinem? Do you want to know why she has been the object of limp-wristed slurs cast by anonymous members of her own Republican advisory team? I'll tell you.

Governor Palin, because of who she is, what she has done, and how she governs, is a symbol, if not an avatar, of true conservativism being able to successfully move forward in this new millennium, and the Left (in its urban elitist pathology) is terrified by this reality. So are the watered-down country-club moderates currently masquerading as "Republicans."

Palin's performance in this evening's Fox interview was all the more effective because it was not a "performance." It was an actual interview. Without question, I continue to be astonished at how directly authoritative Palin can be--comfortable in her own skin...when the degenerated media is not deliberately portraying her in the worst possible light, via the probings of pompous jackasses (Gibson) and lockjawed newspixies (Couric) who adhere to the little-known (but widely practiced!) "selective ethics" code of contemporary journalism. Greta van Susteren did not shy away from asking Palin about the controversies, even repeatedly so. She was fair; no more, no less.

For her part, Governor Palin smashed all of these irrelevant, foul "how-dare-they-make-her-dress-like-she's running-for-national-office!" rumors and exposed them for the liberal gossip-stench they truly are. The absolute fear and hysterical loathing directed toward this great American woman is all I need to see, in order to know that she is feared deeply by those who would seek to turn our great nation into a soulless, socialist disaster-zone. You can bet your life that abortion is the litmus-test for women who have excoriated and who continue to excoriate Governor Palin. As the Governor said, that is a shame–-for it indicates not only a toxic narrowness of vision on the part of so many women in this nation, but it reveals an almost ghoulish attachment to the disordered thinking that surrounds the entire abortion-philosophy.

And what of the desperate, almost constipated media-lie that Palin is an unschooled rube? Please. Though she needs to prove nothing in this arena, tonight's interview reiterated that Sarah Palin is quite effective when it comes to articulating her thoughts. One needs only to listen to her, during Greta’s interview, to see that she speaks with balance, clarity, obvious intelligence, and self-assured conviction. The women of this nation–-particularly the women–-who insist upon perpetrating the lie that Palin is stupid, are fools. Don't worry--a sad moment will come for these tired, bitter hags from the Left, as such moments come to all who are willfully ignorant.

The proverbial bottom line remains: Palin represents the very best of the GOP…past, present, and future: REDUCE the federal government’s intrusive aspects; LOWER taxes; MAKE all government infrastructures work for their constituents; PRESERVE Constitutional freedoms and particularly the 2nd Amendment; SUPPORT and empower our armed-forces in a hostile world; UPHOLD virtue, functional family values, and the dignity of our working women.

The bottom line is that Sarah Palin not only espouses these ideals, she exemplifies them. Conveniently, she has the record and the actual lifestyle to prove it. People that some might consider "simple" are able to verify this quite easily, while the haughty and self-absorbed literati find themselves hopelessly dyslexic. Truth jams their frequencies...when truth doesn't come spun in a pound of molar-rotting cotton candy coating. Perhaps most telling of all, the charm of Palin's natural accessibility is not an "act"–she’s something far too many people in this nation have forgotten how to recognize:

A real person.

All the whining Hollywood smoke-and-mirrors, from all the howling, fruit-bat liberals in the world will not be able to destroy this truth about Sarah Palin. May she go on to serve her country by running for President of the United States of America in 2012. I will proudly vote for her and everything she represents.
