Entitlement Syndrome: Why Sarah Palin Matters

Entitlement Syndrome, on why Sarah Palin matters:
Palin — a force of Republican nature since her selection to be John McCain’s vice-presidential running mate during that fateful 2008 election — is a refreshing breeze in a sometimes-stuffy atmosphere of “elite conservative” thought in the Republican Party. It’s obvious, also, that old-line conservatives like David Brooks and Peggy Noonan despise the ground she walks on.

Bully for her, we say. The Party of Lincoln, which once stood for fiscal responsibility, limited government and the complete and unobstructed chance (notice that we didn’t say “right”) at gaining wealth seems in need of a wakeup call. Fortunately, people like Palin exist, and they’re only going to multiply in greater numbers as more and more Americans realize just how awry their current government has gone.

What is equally as fortunate is that Palin and others – growing stronger and more vocal with each passing day — don’t seem willing to go into that good, good night, as so many in the mainstream — and predominantly progressive — media thinks they should.
Well said.
