It's been a while since I really typed something out that had been on my mind, but after the past couple weeks, some things clicked with me and I wanted to type it all out. This is of course just my opinion, but Karla agrees with me, and so far everyone I've mentioned it to agrees. I think any conservative would agree with all of this below.
After watching, listening and absorbing all things Palin the past couple weeks since her selection as McCain's Veep, and processing it all, I have come to the conclusion that there is a strain, an ideological virus in a way, running its course through the modern liberal movement in the Democrat party. Since this kind of liberalism/socialism is a disease in and of itself, this reaction from them to Palin is like a disease within a disease actually.
Consider all they've thrown at her; "She's unqualified". Despite the fact that by any objective analysis she is more qualified to be President than Barak Hussein Obama himself, yet she is running for VICE-President. Then there's "well she has a baby with down syndrome, will she be able to give the child the care he needs with the duties of the Vice-Presidency?" Within an inch of saying "She's not a very good parent for seeking higher office with children" which flies in the face of modern feminism, but then she's not a "real woman or feminist" because she's a conservative Christian, by THEIR standards. They haven't yet said "she had no business having that baby in the first place and not having an abortion since she knew he had down syndrome, and she was irresponsible getting pregnant to begin with", all of which is so disgusting and so repugnant, but I agree with Limbaugh, they haven't said it yet, but I think they will.
Then there's the attacks on her 17 year old daughter Bristol (so much for liberals insisting that kids are off limits) when both Obama worshipers and liberal media (same difference really) and their demands for DNA testing to prove that Trig is Governor Palin's son and not Bristol's son. That one's really something. I'd love some liberal with any kind of knowledge in biology to tell me how a 17 year old girl could give birth in April and then also be pregnant AGAIN within days that same April. If they can bottle that kind of fertility, the entire medical system devoted to helping people have babies, would go under in a week. Personally, to give them a dose of their own medicine, I would like to see Governor Palin consent to the DNA test, if Senator lawyer Barak Hussein Obama and his lawyer wife Michelle would also consent to testing of their girls, since they both admit to having extramarital affairs on each other and there's no guarantee that both of those girls are actually both of theirs. Ooooo, but THAT would be over the "line". Funny how deep that line runs into liberal ground and is only crossed when conservatives ask a sharp question.
Then it gets REALLY thin, with the attacks on her, by all accounts, pretty darn cool husband, bringing up his 22+ year old DUI, before they even got married, which was a onetime arrest, and was in the same period of time that Barak Hussein Obama admitted to having been smoking pot and snorting cocaine, while in both High School AND College, for YEARS, while he studied to be a LAWYER! Nice. Alcohol is legal at least, though clearly driving drunk is inexcusable, but what Barak Hussein Obama was smoking and snorting has always been illegal in the United States. If he couldn't do the easy thing for four years of obeying the law against controlled substances as a LAW STUDENT in his elitist Ivy League college, Harvard, why should anyone think he'll be able to do the hard thing for four years and uphold and defend the laws of the Constitution of the United States of America. And last time I checked, Governor SARAH was the Palin on the ticket, NOT her husband, but at this point, Todd Palin is more qualified to be President than Obama too! He's actually worked and experienced the REAL WORLD!
And of course, our favorite, her abuse of power in the firing of the do nothing Commissioner who wouldn't investigate Trooper Wooten, accusing her of abusing her office to have Wooten dealt with because he was married to her sister at one point. Then you do some digging and wonder, "who hasn't Wooten been married to?" He's on his FOURTH marriage, divorced three times, closing in on four, with four or more assault charges against him, and was finally put under the "gun" as it were, by the new Commissioner because he used his State issued taser on his 12 year old step son!!! Two things amaze me with this. One, that the boys real father didn't beat Wooten to death upon hearing this. I would have. And two, how bitterly ironic it is, that liberals attack conservative parents like myself and my wife, who believe in spanking as disciplinary punishment, but liberals call us child abusers, yet they're willing to ignore a scumbag four time divorced abuser, on the record as making a death threat against Palin's father (to which she didn't retaliate against him) and then finally over look the extreme abuse of a 12 year old boy with his police taser, all in an attempt to bring down Palin. Lord how amazingly hypocritical and ironic!!!
Oh and recently, they are now attacking her saying that the Assembly of God church she grew up in that her Parents still go to in Wasilla, and the Assembly of God church in Juno has attended since becoming Governor, are radical churches because they believe homosexuals can be converted. Um, yeah? And? Hate to break it to them, but 85%+ of Christians in America believe that very thing, because Christians know good and well that God did not MAKE people to be gay and there is no gay gene. Further evidence that the media just doesn't get it. So now, if you are a Christian that believes homosexuals can be converted out of that lifestyle CHOICE, then YOU are a radical Christian EXTREMIST!!! Isn't that nice? Two days ago also, I heard two people who live in Wasilla on the radio complaining that Wasilla is currently inundated by media, hundreds of them, and despite Palin's 80%+ approval rating in Alaska, and the fact she was that popular or more in Wasilla as Mayor for six years, the media only seem interested in talking to people who don't like her, and are seeking them out specifically, turning away people who like and support her. That's more of that objective lack of bias in the media we always hear about when they defend their reporting.
What strikes me about all of this, and the sheer personality plus and impressiveness of Sarah Palin, is the liberal reaction to it, exposing the "real them". It is shrill, like Harry Reid accused her of being. It is bitter. It is hateful. It is downright venomous. It is my opinion that this liberal Obamaite reaction to Sarah Palin should be called "Liberal Ideological Sexism". Because that is what they are; liberal ideological sexists, threatened by and filled with rage and hatred against any conservative Christian woman. They act as though they have the right to persecute women like her, and treat her as though she checked her "femaleness" at the door when she entered politics as a conservative woman. They attack her on all levels, Obamaite and media lapdog alike. And they show us the ultimate epitome of hypocrisy. Because conservatives like myself, and you, and all real conservatives, do not hate or despise liberal woman like Steinem, Clinton, Boxer or Sheehan, or any of them. We simply believe that they're every bit as wrong as their liberal male counterparts, and are simply the other gender. But no contempt. No viciousness. No hate. And these three words and many others are exactly what liberals spew at Palin and all great conservative women like her by proxy; and that's where they make their biggest mistake. There are MILLIONS of great women in this country like Sarah Palin. And they are woefully unimpressed with how she is being treated. Because she dares to oppose abortion, while the liberals call it "Choice", not really meaning you could choose NOT to. And she dares to be a strong Christian in public! And she dared to cross liberalism, and cross them. Well clearly she has to pay. And that is why, man and woman alike, Obamaite and media (again, same same) they are all Liberal Ideological Sexists. Every last one of them. And they don't believe in women's rights anymore than they really believe in true freedom of speech. They believe in freedom of speech for liberals, and everyone else shut the **** up!!! As they demonstrated several times during McCain's speech. Their angry hate filled protest was more important than McCain's right to give his speech uninterrupted. In the same way, they don't believe in women's rights. They believe in liberal extremist baby killing women's rights. As they demonstrated last week when one liberal saying what liberals think when they said that "conservative women are uneducated woman". Direct quote. And it's disgusting, but predictable and consistent; they are liberals after all.
I had reservations for Palin's nomination for exactly 0.000 seconds. First thing I did was look her up and learn all about her I could. The more she spoke and the more I found out the more I thought she was incredible and the perfect pick. She's exactly what true conservatives have wanted the GOP to represent for over a decade now! And speaking for myself and my wife and the friends I've talked to about it, she's the best chance we have for the GOP to return to the real image of social and fiscal conservatism, as it was in the first few years of the Republican majority in the 90s, when they balanced the budget, reduced pork, cut spending, and lowered taxes, which with the Reagan/Bush policies of the 80s, created a strong overall economy which didn't fail until 99/2000 when Clinton's liberal highest ever taxes finally killed the growth. Palin is every good thing every conservative has been hoping for, for many years. Which is the very core reason, I believe, why the liberal Obamaites and media foot soldiers are so scared to death of her, and will do whatever it takes to destroy her. All the more reason to hit them all dead in the face the next two months to ensure she is the first female Vice-President in American history. And the highest ranking conservative to lead the charge in restoring the true fiscal and social conservative movement.
Boy is that a perfect analogy. Palin is the current day Clarence Thomas. He exposed the lie of blacks necessity to be Democrats to rise to success. Palin is exposing the same lie that women need the Democrat party to rise to success. And she does so in stellar fashion, with strength and aggressiveness, tempered by congeniality and traditional fiscal and social compassionate conservativism. She’s a perfect all around package that ALL conservative Republican politicians, male or female should be measured against. That’s my opinion at least.
milford421 said “The Enquirer issued a statement only stating incredible allegations...they didnt state proof, just mentioned allegations. They certainly seemed to back down with the mention of legal action.”
Yes indeed that is the liberal M.O. Throw it out there, see what sticks, and if you say it enough times, people will believe it. Weak minded liberal drones at least. Even this accusation is amazing because they’re saying that Palin is unfit to be Veep by accusing her of doing what Clinton did dozens of times, and they then said it was irrelevant because it was “just sex” and had nothing to do with the execution of the office or the safety of the nation. So even if she did have an affair on her husband, the Democrats said for over a decade now that it’s just sex and not important. Well which is it? Does an extramarital affair mean someone isn’t fit to be President/VP, or is it just sex and nothing to do with it being fit for office. They can’t have it both ways. And it’s not beside the point they have no evidence, no names, just the accusation. Beyond that, let’s be frank. Now I’ve never been attracted to any mail, but really, look at and learn about Todd Palin; when you have Prime Rib at home, who goes out for ground chuck??? It’s one thing seeing Clinton cheat considering what he had chained up at home, but Sarah Palin cheat on a man like Todd Palin? Ahah. **chuckle** Yeah. Right. Sure. :)

Yes indeed. Infact, the level of hypocrisy in all this by the liberal Obamaites is so striking, it really deserves a new word. Obamaite democrat behavior against Palin just blows the normal definition of hypocrisy to pieces.
MozarkDawg said “You know, it would have been nice for the lamestream media, and primary voters for that matter, to have been as tenacious in having a look at Obama as they are in scrutinizing Mrs. Palin. I’m still waiting to hear on one of the three networks the information about Obama and Biden pushing legislation that would benefit their family members, not to mention anyone pointing out that as a sitting senator, over 40% of Obama’s votes were NV (Not Voting, Excused, Absent, or Present).”
Yeah Obamassiah was real good about continuing his habit of voting “present” in the U.S. Senate like he did in Illinois Senate with over 140 “present” votes. Making actual decisions is just so hard sometimes! :)
THAT, Sir, is a dead-on analysis of many situations we face today. The “spiritual war” (Chrisitan) world view explains a whole lot of things that don’t appear to make any sense at all. Well stated.
“you try and destroy that which reminds you that you have been [proven wrong]”
Spot-on. PRIDE is at the heart of all sins. People hate to be wrong. That’s why liberals hate God. To admit He exists means that we have sinned, because He has some rules we haven’t followed. No sex before marriage? If you get caught (pregnant) you can kill the baby and pretend you haven’t done anything wrong...
That’s why the religious leaders killed Jesus. He told them they were wrong about God. That’s why a LOT of bad things happen. People do NOT want to admit they have been wrong.
They are attacking Sarah because they realize that if they get her kicked off the ticket, that’s the fast track to making every Republican in the country get completely demoralized.
She is not going to get kicked off the ticket, how can you even think that is going to happen?
I was new here before she was picked, too ;)
So, a good line for emails to the MSM, or for seminar callers to ErrAmerica might be "I believe God sent Sarah to expose the hate in your hearts."
I don't think it's going to happen. I think that they hope it's going to happen though. They're really not known for being incredibly deep thinkers.
Some Fat Guy in L.A. said: “I believe that Sarah has been sent by God and Satans minions dont like it”
Polymuser said: “So, a good line for emails to the MSM, or for seminar callers to ErrAmerica might be “I believe God sent Sarah to expose the hate in your hearts.”
I love both of those. How true. The Obamaites and media pawns sure are acting like Satan’s little troopers with the clear hatred they’re showing to Sarah Palin. It will be their undoing because they truly do not realize just how many good strong SMART basically conservative or simply non-liberal women they are alienating, and a great many of them were previously open to voting for Obama, or were going to vote for him. I think a great many more didn’t care one way or another about voting for McCain, but now with Palin and how great she is, along with the hate thrown at her by the Obamaites and media, will combine to cost him a great many votes, and it doesn’t take but a million or two votes spread in ten states to make it a blow out for McCain/Palin. That’s just simple math. Obama/Biden aren’t as well liked or accepted as their press would make it sound. If they were, a clear majority of Americans wouldn’t still be describing themselves as conservative, which is everything that Obama/Biden are NOT.
Besides all that, the bottom line is, LEGITIMATE independents, not the closet cowards who claim to be independents or moderates but are always in the tank for the dims, but the REAL independents and moderates, there’s no way they’re going to go for radicals liberal like Obama and Biden, lawyers both, instead of a moderate Republican who has been chastised by conservatives for a decade for not being conservative and working with Democrats too much. That is just not going to happen.
