Robert J. Avrech comments on how Americans respond positively to authenticity in an opinion piece at Big Hollywood titled "Authentically Gish, Garbo, Tiger, Obama, and Uh-Huh, Palin":
In response to the Palin phenomenon, liberals have enthusiastically embraced Lenin’s ruthless advice: “We are not interested in debating our political opponents, we only want to crush them.”But the president, Avrech says, is the antithesis of authentic. He's just an image that people voted for, and just now many of them are realizing that Barack Obama is not the real deal. Read the full op-ed at Big Hollywood.
It’s not hard to comprehend this level of vitriol.
Much to their dismay, liberals understand that the American people are responding to an authentic person. A voice and image that resonates with deeply felt American values.
Palin touches the historic American core in a way that elitists like Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and their ilk cannot begin to comprehend much less project.

I just finished reading Sarah Palin's excellent book! I hope she runs for President in 2012!
ReplyDeleteShould anyone still doubt Gov Palin's authenticity, consider her own response when someone (I think, Bill O'Reilly) asked her about the McCain Campaign investigation of her, in preparation for the VP tapping ..... she was most worried about them discovering that she earned a 'D' in some paper while at College! ..... the response itself 'rings true' .... demonstrating yet again her authenticity.
ReplyDeleteThe woman has no significant artiface - her only masking is the temporary full makeup mask she wears when in public (as do many/most American women) ...... and btw, did you read Gov Palin's response to someone quizzing her about 'being HOT!' ? She said (paraphrasing here) 'well, (laughing) you haven't seen me without my makeup mask when I come in hot and perspiring from a long run ....' yet ANOTHER authentic response ...
She has journalists interview her (as did her husband also) in her own home, with piles of shoes at the door, while attending to several family matters at the same time, for goodness sake! .... the woman is hiding nothing .... what you see is what you get.
Gov Palin is a leader like no other. She chose to resign her Governorship in Alaska for altruistic reasons, KNOWING that she was putting any possible future political career in jeopardy by leaving early. She TRULY does not do 'politics as usual' which would have her continuing to hold office 'in name only and taking a full paycheck courtesy of THE TAXPAYER' while actually campaigning for some other office and effectively IGNORING her constituents.
America - Providence is presenting you with an authentic GIFT at this desperate time in your history ....... if you are wise, you will accept it, even GRAB it hungrily with both hands.
