Sarah Palin is the happy warrior that takes on the Left in her book "America by Heart". This book leaves no doubt to where Sarah Palin stands on issues. She believes the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are defining documents. The Constitution is the wall that separates freedom from tyranny.
Early in the book, she defines the three words 'We The People' that makes our Constitution unique from those in other countries especially the Soviet Union. She quotes Ronald Reagan, "Well, the difference is so small that it almost escapes you...In those other constitutions, the Government tells the people of these countries what they're allowed to do. In our Constitution, we the people tell the Government what it can do, and it can do only those things listed in that document and no others".
She takes Obama to task when he complained about the constraints on government created by our Constitution. Obama expressed regret that the Supreme Court in the 1950's and '60s, during the civil rights movement did not go far enough. The courts never ventured into issues of wealth redistribution and more basic issues of political and economic justice to society. Obama says, "The Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, as least as it has been interpreted, and the Warren Court interpreted it the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can't do to you. Says what the federal government can't do to you". This statement begs the question. Do you want a government to have the power to confiscate the fruits of your labor whenever it becomes politically expedient?
President Obama has says, "In the really difficult, consequential cases, justices shouldn't go with law but with their hearts. "The last mile can only be determined on the basis of one's deepest values, one's core concerns, one broader perspective on how the world works, and depth and breadth of one's empathy". Sarah Palin quotes the oath that is administered to federal judges in her book and concludes that progressives want Supreme Court justices to violate their oath of office.
The Chapter entitled 'Rise of Mama Grizzles' outlines the differences between Sarah Palin's Mama Grizzles and the contemporary women's movement. Discover why women were given the right to vote in Wyoming and Territorial Alaska many years before women gained these rights throughout America.
Sarah Palin addresses how Christians are losing their rights to religious expression. Read about the Mojava Cross which has become 'the cross in the box'. Sarah quotes the prayer of Franklin Roosevelt that according to some was the largest mass prayer of all times. It is estimated that a national radio audience of one hundred million people heard this prayer. This is remarkable since the population of America at that time was approximately one hundred and fifty million people. Sarah has good words to say about Mitt Romney's religious beliefs which she compares to others like Nancy Pelosi, Edward Kennedy and John Kerry.
Quoting Sarah Palin, "The reason, I think, it that we have leaders today in Washington who don't share the fundamental view of American greatness. I thought of this disconnect recently when I was watching the Blue Angels at the Alaska Air Show at Elmendorf Air Force Base. There I was brought to tears by the magnificence of these amazing aviators when my brother, knowing what I was thinking, handed me a note. Scribbled in black Sharpie on the back of his entrance ticket was the message. "I'd rather have an army of sheep led by a lion than an army of lions led by a sheep"."
Robert Eugene Simmons writes, "The brutal reality of America is that an aristocracy has developed in Washington against the wishes of the founders of this country. The Republicans Party "insiders" are just as deep in the corruption and aristocratic thinking as the liberal elites. If anyone ever needed convincing of the deep disregard in which the aristocracy holds the 'serfs or ordinary Americans', the insiders reaction to the Tea Party movement answers the questions". Sarah Palin addresses these issues and more in her book. "America by Heart, Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag" is a must read to everyone who wishes to gain a different prospective to important issues of our times.
