“Sarah Palin talking . . . to jubilant overflow crowds . . . I hear the voice of America . .”
THEOLOGIAN MICHAEL NOVAK’S THOUGHTFUL, INSPIRING ARTICLE ON GOV. SARAH PALIN:
”LISTENING TO SARAH”, by Michael Novak, Author and Theologian (from National Review Online)
Michael Novak, a former Board Member of Radio Liberty/Radio Free Europe, who has served both Democrat and Republican Presidents, sounds in this article like he could almost be describing Ronald “Dutch” Reagan, the All-American boy who grew up in the middle of Iowa, and then brought his clear voice and common-sense plain-spoken message to us, straight from the heartland of America.
Some Quotes:
“Every time I hear Sarah Palin talking — more and more to jubilant overflow crowds — I hear the voice of America speaking.”
“Without question, Sarah Palin has the best natural sense of humor and happy disposition of any of the four top candidates. She is, by far, the happiest warrior among today’s front four. Not a bad endowment for a vice president.”
“Sarah Palin does not diss America in the way that candidate Obama seems to do quite naturally . . . Sarah’s goal is not to make America into another Western Europe. Her goal is to reform America on the model of the original American vision, which where she comes from is still so close you can almost touch it.”
“By contrast with Sarah, one theme ties together everything Barack and Michelle Obama have long been about: They often diss America implicitly and explicitly. They used to hang out with people who diss America. They want to change the America they are not proud of into a different sort of nation: a European social democracy. They admire European health care, tax policy, and micro-regulation. They share Europe’s cultivated dissing of business, enterprise, initiative, and hard work.”
“These are the choices we Americans will be facing, next Tuesday. Barack Obama is calling us toward Europe; Sarah Palin is calling us back, to what’s best in our own American tradition.”
