Why They Hate Sarah Palin So Much (Long but worthy read)

Why They Hate Sarah Palin So Much

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

As Barack Obama continues to serve out Jimmy Carter’s second term, the nation has over three years to figure out what it really thinks about Sarah Palin. As of now, I think it’s fair to say nobody feels lukewarm about her. At all. You love her or you hate her.

Much has been said about why people like her. Especially here. Perhaps it’s time to jot down the reasons why she inspires so much resentment…so much hate.

The people who really feel it, I think, for the most part don’t understand themselves why they feel it. This seems to me to be a great tragedy. If you’re nurturing such hostile passions, you ought to at least know why.

So this is just a list to keep in hand, throughout 2012. Toward the end, as the GOP heads into its convention, I would hope the Republican officials will be somewhat sincere in wanting to learn what plain, ordinary, humdrum voters really think about things. At that point, it’s really up to you. Support Huckabee or Romney, by all means, if you think they do a better job of representing conservative values. Or, if you don’t, and simply hate Alaska’s Governor on a personal level. My suggestion is simply that you get your thoughts straight in your own little head, first & foremost.

People feel threatened by Palin because she reminds us that…

Well for me it was instant and true love, politically speaking of course. I saw her speech the morning McCain first appeared with her as VP nominee and I knew I liked her. Loved every speech I could catch, and the convention speech was just plain old inspiring. She is one of us. She is like me, she is like many women who are good and honest and hard working. On election day, there was video of her leaving the polling place and I was delighted to see she wore a Carhartt Jacket just like mine. She is the real deal. Dems don’t like pro-life Christian conservatives and neither do some Washington elite repubs. Anyone who doesn’t like her is nuts. I think they’re jealous too. Throw some of that in the mix of why some don’t like her. She also gave that convention speech without a working teleprompter and pulled it off beautifully. She has moral absolute core values, she don’t need no stinkin’ teleprompter to tell her what to say.

Big bump!  I'm still waiting for the phonies to come up with a reply, LOL.

However, I'm having a great evening.  I have some great music playing in the background and I'm just dancing along.

Mostly it’s gays.

Homo guys for the most part. Homos in Hollywood. In the media. But it’s so gay, to hate Sarah Palin.

The other smaller contingent was the Mittens.

They’re just confused though.

Hair-struck.

She is a real Christian. Five words.

The liberal media and political machine see her as a threat because she's a conservative who is pretty, likeable and reasonably sharp. They fear she could connect with the average voter so they have went out of their way to present her in a negative light.

In 28 years only 1 Democrat has been elected president. They feel that Gore got screwed so they were and are willing to do anything to get and stay in power.

I believe what scares a lot of those on the left is that Gov. Palin is a throw back to a much earlier time, a time when a woman could help plow a field, raise a large family, and handle a rifle to help feed or protect her family. She’s what I picture my great grandmother as, proud, tough and independent. A woman that tough really frightens a lot of people, particularly on the left where real softness and cowardice dwells. Palin advancted to where she is by her own hard work, grit and determination.

Liberals believe only urban lesbians can be strong women.

Remember Hillary’s arrogant dismissal of Tammy Wynette “Standing by her man”?

That is, before she herself did exactly that.

It really appears from liberals’ actions, they have a template for a “strong woman”, which basically means a woman who hates guys.

One of the main reasons I think...
Abortion. Deep down, they know it’s pure evil. Confronting that scares so instead they lash out in hatred.

I just wish everybody could see all the good she has done here in Alaska. She’s done it from the start too; which tells me more about character than all the so called world experience. There’s a reason her popularity is off the charts.

Watch Evan Sayet’s two speeches to the Heritage Foundation.

Liberals have adopted relativism.

This causes them to align themselves with evil. Always.

But the people who reject evil don’t go away.

So, liberals have to attack those who oppose evil.

And the accusations that liberals make have nothing to do with those they are attacking.

Rather, they accuse conservatives of the evils the liberals support.

Thus, Ward Churchill called those who worked in the WTC “little Eichmanns.” When, of course, it was the terrorists who were the “little Eichmanns.”

Notice that after liberals started killing babies, their accusations against conservatices escalated. Now, every conservative attempt to cut spending is “killing children.”

Let’s face it, the anger is nourished by the media and elites in Washington, New York and LA. If the liberals in Milwaukee, Chicago and San Francisco took a few moments and actually met Sarah, they would realize how ridiculous the media-created caricature of Sarah really is.

And for the clowns in media and politics, from my experience working with people in New York, DC and LA, they may have gone to the “good” schools and summer in the Hamptons, but they are clueless when it comes to how things work in the real world.

Just as an aside, I was out in New York with several magazine editors when I pulled out my wallet to pay. One of the ladies saw my Texas concealed handgun permit and asked me what it was. For the next 45 minutes I was yelled at by 5 women as if I was a serial rapist. The concept of self-defence was completely foreign to these ladies. Or, the notion of deterrence or the drop in violent crime in Texas after the concealed law was passed.

I finally realized it was a lost cause. “Guns are evil. Guns should be banned. I was an uncivilized redneck.” It is truly astonishing how screwed up the thinking is in these ultra blue parts of the country. And I have had similar experiences in LA and DC.

Its no wonder they hate Sarah so much. They are all freakin’ brainwashed.

I’d love to see Bolton as SecState, but on the other hand I’d pay to see him debate Biden. LOL!
