America's choice: Road to ruin or road to redemption

Sarah Palin made a tribute to Ronald Reagan in a weekend of celebrations to mark what would have been his hundredth birthday. In it, she said that Obama’s policies are putting the United States on a path to ruin. His policies surely do not help, but before this nation saw the first glimpses of political turmoil, the decline in values and standards was already startling. America now finds itself at a crossroads: It can effectively continue on a road to ruin, or it can make a return to the values and standards that have not just made this country great, but exceptional.
