Some have exhibited downright impatience.<br />
<br />
Yes, there have been brief moments where I have also felt a bit of anxiety. Mostly from reading too many articles or watching too many political pundits tell me why Sarah won't run or shouldn't run.<br />
<br />
But then I remember something. I remember why I am in this with Sarah Palin the way I am. It is because I trust her. I believe in her. Her instincts have been spot on. Why question her now? <br />
<br />
I wrote a piece about Sarah Palin back in February for Conservatives4Palin. I wrote that piece when I was looking back at all the reasons I have fixed my gaze on this North Star. Here is the piece.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://conservatives4palin.com/2011/02/the-north-star.html">http://conservatives4palin.com/2011/02/the-north-star.html</a><br />
<br />
The actual North Star doesn't move in the sky. Travelers through the centuries were able to find their way by fixing their own gazes on that star. The one immutable star, while all the other stars in the sky moved around it and changed positions. As long as one trusted the steady calm and fixed truth and guidance of the North Star, one would never get lost.<br />
<br />
Sarah Palin will reveal her plans and the path to be our 45th President when the time is right. She is also being guided by her own Star from above.<br />
<br />
Focus your gaze on that immutable, calm and steady star. Take a deep breath. Keep your faith. And above all, BE PATIENT. <br />
<br />
<br />
<em>Star of the north! whose steadfast ray<br />
Pierces the sable pall of night,<br />
Forever pointing out the way<br />
That leads to freedom's hallowed light:<br />
The fugitive lifts up his eye<br />
To where thy rays illume the sky.<br />
<br />
<br />
That steady, calm, unchanging light,<br />
Through dreary wilds and trackless dells,<br />
Directs his weary steps aright<br />
To the bright land where freedom dwells;<br />
And spreads, with sympathizing breast,<br />
Her ægis over the oppressed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Though other stars may round thee burn,<br />
With larger disk and brighter ray,<br />
And fiery comets round thee turn,<br />
While millions mark their blazing way;<br />
And the pale moon and planets bright<br />
Reflect on us their silvery light.<br />
<br />
<br />
Not like that moon, now dark, now bright,<br />
In phase and place forever changing;<br />
Or planets with reflected light,<br />
Or comets through the heavens ranging;<br />
They all seem varying to our view,<br />
While thou art ever fixed and true.<br />
<br />
<br />
So may that other bright North Star,<br />
Beaming with truth and freedom's light,<br />
Pierce with its cheering ray afar,<br />
The shades of slavery's gloomy night;<br />
And may it never cease to be<br />
The guard of truth and liberty. </em><br />

Pshaw!Here is an article showing the impatience and disgust that we Palin supporters are feeling when someone says, "She isn't electable". She is the only one who IS electable, but the LSM, the left and the elites from the Republican party keep repeating the same old tired meme over and over to try to convince her supporters this is true. <br />
<br />
This certainly separates the strong from the weak. The true believers from the doubters. <br />
<br />
If you support what Sarah says and you know she speaks the truth and she says what you believe to know is right, then this is all you need to know in order for you to fight along her side . We are here to support REAL change and REAL truth. Not some squishy politician who has no real principles or real conservative ideals they fight for. They just say what they think others want them to say. They say what will get them elected. <br />
<br />
Have you ever once gotten the feeling from listening to Sarah Palin that she is saying what she thinks others want her to say? No! She says what she believes in her heart and soul. Agree or disagree, she says it like she sees it. Believes it. <br />
<br />
What more could the people of this country possibly want than to have someone tell us the truth about themselves and what they believe? Aren't you tired of the DAILY lies from the current administration and other corrupt politicians? <br />
<br />
I know I am. <br />
