Sarah Palin of the South

Grace Stevens AKA "Amazing Grace"

"After the war was over, they asked her to stay on, but she was ready to go back home to Pennsylvania. She is an inspiration to today's women serving in the military. She's an American hero.  For Ms. Grace looking back she acts like it was nothing to have been a part in the shaping of our military heritage.  I can't imagine the conditions and the pressure that she was under given the time period.  She is just as tough as any paratrooper out there; and if she could have been on jump status, she would have excelled.  I am inspired by her attitude that you only get so much time on planet Earth, you might as well make the most of it.  And at 100 years old, she still has that attitude."

Not Your Typical "Good Ole' Boy" For Congress..

"Scott Brown won his monumental victory on Tuesday because of American patriots dedicated to protecting our Constitution and preserving our way of life.

I’ll forever be grateful that so many people trusted me six weeks ago, when I suggested long before he was on anybody’s radar screen, that electing then-little-known Lt. Col. Scott Brown was vital to America’s future. (See one of my original post here at Libertarian Republican on Scott Brown’s campaign.)
Now, I’m asking you to trust me again in supporting and promoting the candidacy of Katherine Jenerette, a commissioned Army officer from the legendary 82nd Airborne Division.

I deeply believe that my friend, Katherine, has the same character, devotion to country, and commitment to conservative limited government values that Americans have found in Scott Brown.
Katherine’s running for Congress in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, one that stretches along the coast from Charleston all the way up to the North Carolina border. She is running, just as Scott Brown did, against the concept of family dynasties “owning” a seat and the reality of “good ole boy” politics.
She is an underdog; but I assure you, we will this contest. As Katherine says, “I don’t fight like a girl; I fight like a PARATROOPER.”

Please take a quick look Katherine’s campaign website, and you will discover an American woman with the same character and unlimited potential we find in Sarah Palin,Michele Bachmann, and Liz Cheney"

From Katherine:

"Obviously, I’m not your garden-variety politician, and that not just because I jump out of airplanes . . . and drive a pickup. I’ve been called “the good ole boys worst nightmare” because I don’t believe in political chicanery, back-room deals, special-interest deals, or dynasties. If you send me to Washington, DC, I won’t be one that goes along . . . to get along. In my military career, I’ve sworn to protect my fellow Americans and our Constitution. That oath is a lifetime commitment.
Like most people in this state, I’m a conservative and, constitutionally, a strict constructionist. I believe in “the 3 Fs,” faith in God, family, and fidelity to our country.
I’m pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-private enterprise, and pro-military. In my Army career, I’ve been willing to give my life, if necessary, for our beloved nation, and now I’m willing to devote my life to serving God, my brother and sister South Carolinians, and my fellow Americans."

Again, I’m asking you to adopt — and embrace the candidacy of –this remarkable woman — Katherine — committed to winning a tough election and primary. With your strong support, victory will be a certainty. Please support this mother (of four), soldier, patriot, and leader. - Steve Maloney
