Virtue, Duty, Honor

Virtue: The quality of doing what is right and avoiding what is wrong.

Duty: Work that you are obliged to perform for moral or legal reasons.

Honor: A woman's virtue or chastity.

It is at times perplexing and frustrating in this Age of Obama to see the 64 dollar word crowd searching for one more complex trump card to try and outdo someone else, when as St. Paul proved often in the Holy Spirit guiding him, that in being all things to all people in all situations, simple when simplicity was needed and complex when complexity was required, that speaking to the minds of people so they understood and remembered is what communication and teaching was all about.

I have seen the more lofty types drag out a Roman named Lucious Cincinnatus as a type of Sarah Palin, in the selfless servant of the entire pluribus who upon completing the job, simply resigned from office and became a Citizen again.

To relate this past, is to not bind it to the American ideal, as many are loosing the history of America in our forefathers were very well read, educated and aware of the best of many cultures, including Greece and the Roman Republic.

America has a far superior example in the Christian George Washington. He was the epitome and definition of the slave to nation who upon self control and common sense, gave up being king in America, to return to the highest noble order of living in returning to his farm.
There was on virtue, duty and honor for any Citizen and that was to serve their nation when needed, with complete morality, and then to return to their private agrarian life quietly.

It is lost on modern scholar the depths for which President Theodore Roosevelt held for George Washington. George Washington for Americans was the secular example of Jesus the Christ. I do not state that in any blasphemy, but he was worshipped for his virtue, duty and honor, because when tempted on the summit, his answer was to turn and walk away to take up the humble origins after being a world leader.

It is also lost on Americans now that there was a time in America that young people were not elected to anything, not because they were not qualified, but instead because it was deemed a virtue to instead work for a living and build a career, whereupon in the later years when people were 50, they would serve America in politics in giving of themselves to the nation.
One did not go to Washington or a state capital to make a name for themselves or cash in on million dollar book deals. That type of thing was considered abhorent. A Citizen instead denied themselves and served others, never once accepting undo monetary rewards.

In that, I desire to compare Sarah Palin and Barack Obama completely.

Sarah Palin worked her way up from local elections to national elections.
Barack Obama grabbed a state office, used it as a stepping stone for national office and then dove into the White House.

Sarah Palin has signed no million dollar deals while in office.
Barack Obama has signed several million dollar self profiting deals in office.

Sarah Palin never once apologized for the wonderful place America is.
Barack Obama can not stop apologizing or accepting slanderous insults about America.

Sarah Palin is complete fidelity.
Barack Obama is complete infidelity.

Sarah Palin is honest.
Barack Obama is dishonest.

Sarah Palin when faced with the choice for her nation, gave up power.
Barack Obama when faced with the choice of his assent, seized power.

In all of the above, George Washington is the definition in the first American example of who Sarah Palin now is.

What is sad in this is Americans have no grounding in literature that they sought out on their own to judge these times. There is no Francis Parkman, Theodore Roosevelt, Benjamin Franklin to even recall in who a real America is.
If David Letterman, Maureen Dowd and their cocktail crowd had George Washington around, they would rape him politically worse than Sarah Palin for the simple reason, George Washington was a simple gentle man.

If you ever have the opportunity to read President Washington's handwritten letters, one will find someone who was not a college educated expert in English. His vocabulary is American English and I would venture that western dialect one hears coming out of Sarah Palin is the the original twang coming out of the Virginian Cavaliers which George Washington was a founding part of that American race.

I can tell you exactly what Sarah Palin is in she is George Washington who crossed the Apalachians, carved out frontier farms east of the Mississippi, crossed to the west in latitudinal lines, had Texas cattle drovers with their drawl swing north to the Canadian line, and then in a migration from California north completed their journey in Alaska.
If you visit Kansas City, you will find Sarah Palin there. If you visit, Akron, you will find Sarah Palin there. If you visit, Taos, you will find Sarah Palin there. If you visit Albany, you will find Sarah Palin there, because her twang and speech pattern is George Washington America, just like her virtue like millions of American women is American heartland.

For all the people who are running off at the mouth about Sarah Palin's future, I have yet to hear one, outside of this blog, actually contemplating what the only Person Who has a say in this is accomplishing........no it is not Sarah Palin, but the Person is God.
There is a song by Johnny Cash about Ira Hayes, the American war Hero who was a Pima Indian. One line in it I quote often in, "No one cared what Ira done or when did the Indian's dance".

People are not conversant in this dance nor watching God in how this is going to play out.
I do listen to people and and women have huge problems with Sarah Palin as most women view this as a cat fight with the pretty girl they always lost to, instead of seeing in Sarah Palin the rugged individual who was too busy working her way up in Alaska to be riding on some Bill Clinton tails or having their momma pave the way to George Soros' abode to steal an American election so he could be mahdi in the White House.

People who hate Sarah Palin hate themselves and I could care less about them or when God flushes them to the hell they are destined to. I do though care about the lack of knowledge destroying Americans who think they have to manufacture a Muchelle when America has the real deal in Gov. Palin, mirroring Ronald Reagan and rooted in George Washington.

People who hate now have so overreached that in blackifiedness, they are running ABC live coverage of Michael Jackson the child sex pervert to glorifying Steve McNair who was an adulterer and got 4 bullets pumped into him by his crazy sex kitten.
When all liberals have is this kind of black tied to the Obama kind of black, there is nothing American about it. The 10 Commandments are not about gluttenous Obama, perverted Jackson or adulterer McNair to be mixing in "hey they did good things too".

Well Adolf Hitler fixed Germany too, so where is the demarkation line? Would Hitler now be having a stamp printed for him if he was Adongo Hitler from Zaire, the black guy?

Sarah Palin was no dictator in Rome who did the right thing. She was just an American Lady who did the right thing when being assaulted in a beastly manner and did the right thing when no one was looking.
That is the definition J. C. Watts gave from Oklahoma and it fits Sarah Palin, just like Christ's "turn the other cheek".

When reviled, He reviled not.

I would prefer that Americans in this would reach to American Heroes as we have numbers of them and they did it all without being dictators, despots and tyrants.

Rome is not what America should be. America is what Rome should be, and Americans should be the virtue, duty and honor who Sarah Palin is.
