The Adulteration of Hope

What do you do when your establishment faces the potential dismantling of everything it has striven to construct? Generally, the answer is to go on a fiercely unapologetic offensive, battering the opposition at every turn, dehumanizing them at the slightest mishap of their life, and crippling the tender young supports of their growing threat to your fortress of work and ideology.

Although there was once a time when both major parties of our system worked together to forge a strong citadel of security for the nation, their present goals are that of PR cutthroats, doing the extreme to advance their philosophical ends, even if such methods endanger the interests of the people.

Right now, what I see as the largest thorn in the side of the electoral hopes of this covertly united bloc is the unlikely and yet vivacious emergence of a new, unconventional figure on the national landscape: the folksy and unpretentious former governor of the state of Alaska, Sarah Palin. Despite being essentially unheard of in the country 26 months ago, the down to earth caribou hunting governor has risen from rising star local mayor to a waiting jockey in the speculated candidates circle for the presidential race of 2012.

I may be called brash, unwise, or dreaming of untouchable grandeur, but regardless, Sarah Palin has the potential to revolutionize the democratic process of our nation, executing a new era of long standing greatness to rival even that of the gigantic American leaders of past generations. Her newfound presence has not only invigorated the courage of women entering into elected politics, but also added a layer of scrutiny to the ultra-left of our country, who have screamed with puppyish fear as they see their towering domination of the news media and social drift of the country at risk.

Possibly the most critical fact that damns the success of the domineering progressives of America is that Sarah Palin has risen above the fray of the mudslinging politics of recent years, and appealed directly to the hearts of the central American public, and more specifically, the middle class. If it is not already obvious, the left wing occupants are afraid of losing their age old "poverty fixer" label, no matter the inaccuracy of such a term when applied to them.

In the 1970s, the British Labour Party faced a horrific risk in the face of Margaret Thatcher, a relatively new Conservative politician who had risen to the helm of the Tory party, and posed an imminent electoral threat to the premiership of James Callaghan. Just like them, the Democratic Party and its furthest reaches of ideologue faces a similar issue with the potential candidacy of Palin.

Observers might say that Thatcher had more experience before becoming opposition leader, the British equivalent of a presidential nomination, yet I disagree. The Iron Lady had only served as Education Minister for four years, less than the governor's seventeen years of public service, not counting her considerable and growing experience as a communicator in the news.

Although they are quick to assassinate her image, the Democrats refuse to let off their attacks, continuously railing day after day about the downfall of our country under her proposed leadership. Truth be told however, their concern is chiefly political. A Sarah Palin Presidency might not be full of grandiose, but it would sideline the view that only feminist women can make it in the public circle, and create a new generation of conservative  women to dispel the marxist following ideology from the heart of 1960s lore.

And since it cripples their hopes of socio-political domination, they have been forced to wage a hate campaign against everything which she represents. I personally support her speculated bid because it would end the predictable outcome of our elections, and force commentators to reanalyze each process of choice, eradicating the norms which they have worked to establish since the 2008 contest.

While it might be far from likely, Palin's election would bring the nail in the coffin to the left wing's efforts to control our nation's independent development from followers to leading thinkers in the political process.
