Everyone is wrong now and then, but not many people are willing to admit it–not to themselves, and certainly not to the public. However, in a letter to the editor of the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman, someone did just that. Charles Fredericks, who has openly criticized Governor Palin in the past, has admitted that she had incredible insight even in 2008 into the road down which President Obama was about to take America. “I was wrong, and I admit it,” he declares.
Back in 2008, right at the peak of the McCain/Palin, Obama/Biden presidential election, I wrote a scathing opinion to the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman about Sarah Palin (titled “Caribou Barbie”), and five years later, I would like to recant my opinion and tell the people of the Mat-Su Valley just how wrong I was at the time.
The Frontiersman published the opinion and it drew a lot of comments, mostly negative, and here we are almost five years later, and I want to pass on what I have learned.
Let me elaborate. Regardless of the politics involved and what you may think now, Sarah Palin did one thing that we shouldn’t forget. Put aside all other actions, failures, controversy and animosity for just a second about Palin and consider this: she warned us about Barack Obama.
Palin stood up and said clearly, openly and without reservation just exactly what Obama would do and how he would do it. She said that he had socialistic — if not Marxist — views, that wealth would be taken away and redistributed and that he would create a new economic dependent class. Not to mention a power grab in the justice department and what appears to be complete control over all government functions, regardless of opposing dissent.
Caring or putting any weight on what someone else thinks of another person is the same as caring about what others think of religion if one is a religious person. You form an opinon or belief based upon what you perceive. Only people insecure in those personal choices or decisions cares anything about another's perception. I really do not care if this guy thinks Palin is a saint. IMO she is an opportunistic, self-serving and mean spirited has been and nothing will change my mind. So there!

You're right.. I had no idea, but then, I am not obsessed with Ms Palin and frankly could care less. Still, what business is it of anyone but her and her family. I doubt seriously that you do that much research into other public figures, and if you do, you really need to get a job and start worrying more about your own well being than you do about the lives of others.
Bottom line: Sarah Palin has a handle on what is good for America. Therefore it's no big surprise Leftist lib Socialist's are threatened. Their agenda is Anti-American....in case you haven't noticed.

I'm not threatened at all. I seriously hope she is your 2016 Presidential Candidate with her incredible insight and her handle on what's good for America.
