I've been everywhere That was the title of a hit country-and-western song from the late 1950's, originally sung by Hank Snow, and made famous by Johnny Cash. I resemble that! My 26-year career in the Air Force took me to more than sixty nations on five continents - sometimes only for a few minutes, other times for as long as four years at a time. In all that travel, I also managed to find the perfect partner, help rear three children, earn more than 200 hours of college credit, write more than 3000 reports, papers, documents, pamphlets, and even a handful of novels, take about 10,000 photographs, and met a huge crowd of interesting people. I use this weblog and my personal website here to document my life, and discuss my views on subjects I find interesting.

Why the Attacks on Sarah Palin?

John McCain's pick of Sarah Palin to be his running mate sent shock waves through the entire United States. Not only did it energize the Republican base, suck independent votes from Barrack Obama, and stir pure hatred in the hearts of the mass media, it sent fear through the hearts of the Washington insiders from both parties.

You see, Sarah Palin means what she says when she says she wants to clean up politics. Most of the people in Washington, regardless of political affiliation, or even those without it, don't want anything to change. That might mean the end of their gravy-train lifestyle.

We can see that fear in their vicious, unhinged attacks on Sarah Palin now that the election is over (and was part of the unbelievable personal attack against her from within her own party BEFORE the election). We can see the "Powers that Be" trying to destroy a true reformer before she can build enough credentials to actually succeed the next time she runs. I expect a huge, outside-funded program of constant personal and professional attacks against her when (or if) she runs for re-election.

Sarah Palin has exposed not only the corruption within the Democratic Party, but that within the Republican Party as well. For that she MUST be destroyed, before the "little people" catch on.
