My congratulations to Journal reporter Alex Cantatore on a fine article on Sara Palin's visit. It achieved its goal of raising badly needed revenue. I did find Mr. Rob Veneman's comments very interesting. I am in my 70s and have loved this country and found it exceptional most likely longer than Mr.Veneman. I cannot be counted, however, as a lover of Sara Palin. Mr. Venemen's standard of "those who love America, love Palin" is tough to meet. Should I ever achieve it, please inform Mr. Veneman, he will be the first to know
