Will 2012 be the Year of the Rogue?

Our friend William Hughes makes the case for Sarah Palin in 2012 on Examiner.

Sarah Palin is a genuine public servant in an era of antipathy and outright hostility toward the governing ruling class. She represents accomplishment over career preservation. She represents a love of America and devotion to personal liberty lost on the governmental leviathan care-takers so prominent in both parties.

The election of 2009 showed that independents are turning in large numbers against the Obama agenda. It is not enough, however, to just have these folks against Obama, they need to be given an agenda to vote for. Sarah Palin is the only candidate on the GOP side with the courage and vision to promote and active and unabashedly conservative agenda to bring Republicans, independents, and even the long-missing Reagan Democrats together in a mandate to take back this country.

Sarah Palin’s public rehabilitation will begin on Monday with Oprah. America will finally get to meet the Arctic fox on her terms and with her fully in command of the message. She will not longer be peddling McCain’s moderate GOP worldview, but the passionate and courageous conservative worldview of a hockey mom from Alaska.

William reminds us that America loves the underdog, and so the country will find someone to root for in 2012. They will be looking for someone who roots for this nation, not apologize for it. They will want someone who will end the narcoleptic nightmare of "socialist malaise" that Obama and his co-conspirator congress have deceived the country into. That someone, William says could be The Arctic Fox, and 2012 could become known as "the year of the rogue."
