SARAH Palin, well done; Truly a star is born....

I HAVE SEEN SARAH PALIN and I HAVE HEARD HER SPEAK in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Can anyone doubt it now, that a STAR IS BORN?
Can anyone doubt, that greatness still dwells in America.
Can anyone doubt that Cincinnatus has returned in
the form of a new Cornelia?

“Servant of God, well done, well has thou fought
The better fight who singly has maintained
Against revolted multitude the cause’
Of truth, in word mightier than they in arms… MILTON PARADISE LOST I, 29

***
Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye,
In every gesture dignity and love…

So absolute she seems
And in herself complete, so well to know
Her own that what she wills to do or say
Seems wisest, virtuousest , discreetest, best..

With a smile that glowed
Celestial rosy, red, love’s proper hue. (MILTON, PARADISE LOST )

TO SARAH PALIN:

“SARAH be not afraid of greatness: some women are born great, some achieve greatness ,
and some have greatness thrust upon them.” (adapted from Shakespeare)

Oh, Sarah, o Sarah, long have I prayed
For this day days when truly a star was born!

There is joy and blessing in being a willing instrument of God.
(this you know you learned in the Auld Book)

O Sarah! O Sarah may God bless you with health and length of life!

There you stood, fearless like the Sarah of Bible fame!’
And like the wife of Abraham thou we see in you yet, a woman wise with years
And like Sarah, wife of Abraham, wise and beautiful!

,Like Deborah of Bible fame
who saw the spirit of patriotism crushed out of her nation,
You rise up like a prophetess -a Gideon- a warrior- to rouse the people up with a warning cry!
“Rise Americans, rise! For we have come to lead you!
For America’s freedom we will fight or die! “

Like Deborah your fame will spread far and wide.!
You will become like “a mother in Israel” (Judg. 4:6; 5:7)
and “the children of Israel” and America and free peoples of the world
will come to you “ for judgment”.

This I can see in a glass darkly
Of things to come, of safety and prosperity and freedom for all.

And mercy for the weak and prayers for the soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen
Fighting under our colors in far-off lands,
Not for glory, not for conquest but for the cause of peace and freedom.

Greater love, truly, has no man, than the man willing to lay down his life for his friends and countryman.
Greater lover has no woman than to say goodbye to her nephew and eldest son
And shed a tear as they march forth to meet the foe
And bravely fight, and bravely sweat,
and bravely stand watch
And bravely guard us while we sleep,
Where do we find such heroes?
Where do we find such mothers?
Great is the heart and soul of America.
Great are her sons and daughters
But greatest of all ARE her MOTHERS LIKE SARAH PALIN!

So , like Sarah of Bible fame, the wife of Abraham I see thee yet a woman of beauty,
But ‘tis not thy beauty that moves my heart,
“tis not thy smile or wink that moves my breast.
No ‘tis thy brave heart, thy BEAU GEST,
Not for glory, nor for fame,
Nor for riches, nor honor’s flame,
Not for vengeance, not for pride,
Not for sport not for hides.
BUT LIKE MAC, OUR FUTURE PRESIDENT:
“ FOR GOD, FOR COUNTRY AND FOR DUTY’S CALL”.

Not for yourselves alone, not for me –though I love you both,
BUT FOR ALL, FOR COUNTRY, FOR AMERICA,
Our great and our bold and our free land.
Heroes’ blood, sweat and tears
Bid us hold our ancient glory,
As Americans, FOREVER FREE,
As Americans in suit or dungaree,
As Americans together in “ONE NATION, UNDER GOD
WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.”



And then there is MAC, John McCain.
What is the test of leadership?
The true test of leadership is leadership itself
and you have shown it!

God expects leaders among His people to lead and lead vigorously.
Why?
Because He knows this is a world of freedom.
Because He knows this is a world of free choice ,
Because He knows this is a world of hard decisions,
Because He knows on this earth God’s work must truly be our own.
Because He knows and kens that genuine need.
He teaches us that a people lacking understanding will come to ruin.
He teaches us “in necessary things UNITY, in doubtful things LIBERTY
And in all things CHARITY.”

Yes, that indispensible need for free peoples
To be lead by leaders of trust, integrity, honor, wisdom and virtue.
Can anyone doubt that JOHN MCCAIN is such a man?
Can anyone doubt MCCAIN and PALN CAN?
YES THEY CAN!!!! Yes they can!
The people know it and the people shout it
McCain and Palin are great!
All the way in ’08!
I hear them in every state and county
Quiet and loud, loud and solemn:
Let us hope and let us pray,
MAC and PALIN all the way!!!!

RICHARD K. MUNRO (American teacher)
.

John McCain is a proven leader. Leaders of course are nothing without followers and it is our job as Americans to willingly offer ourselves to our leaders.

No other pair in America today could inspire such confidence as the ticket of Senator JOHN McCAIN for PRESIDENT AND Governor SARAH PALIN FOR VICE PRESIDENT .
"
LET US HOPE AND LET US PRAY
MAC AND PALIN ALL THE WAY

(Richard K. Munro) September 4, 2008.

AMERICA IS BEAUTIFUL INDEED…only in America could a school teacher’s daughter and the wife of a steelworker could rise to be the most popular governor in America and then rise to be America’s first woman vice-president. Who can doubt it now- I never have- that Sarah Palin has a great future in the Republican party but more important who can doubt that a STAR IS BORN? Who can doubt that history is being made? Who can doubt that Mac have proven his good judgment. Who can doubt that this formidable woman, this outstanding public servant who has as she said , “the heart of a servant” will not serve America well?

Truly GOD BLESSES AMERICA…..

…..

O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.

America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine.

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.

America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine.

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

-The lyrics to this beautiful song to America were written by Katharine Lee Bates (1859-1929)
