Everyone hates Palin, she is who we used to be. AMERICA!
” The degree and volume of venom directed at her staggers the imagination. It is unprecedented in recent times “
This is true only for people who don’t remember the 60’s and 70’s. The venom for Nixon and Reagan was every bit as nasty.
Interesting article - I’d say it describes an element of PDS, but of course it is far more than just status-anxiety -it is political as well. All the pro-life, conservative stuff and that she is a threat to the democrats as an authentic and charismatic person who connects with everyday Americans.
I liked this excerpted comment from the linked page:
“The Left have always wanted what the Right has, in terms of status and currency. Failing to totally appropriate that, they have invented a new currency – morality, via which they hope to stand supreme on top of the societal heap.
I Care more about child poverty than you. I care more about the planet. I care more about disease and trees’ rights than you do. I am Superior, and you shall grovel to me, you who drive a Gus gazzler instead of a bike, and don’t weep every day for the suffering of the polar bear.
What this depends on is that everyone else then desires the moral elitism they supposedly possess, so they stay elite. When someone like Palin comes along, who not only has the nerve to not desire their phony morality, and exist quite happily without it, but also becomes Popular BECAUSE of this, then their entire system collapses. Her sin is not only existence, but popularity. People admire her status, and want to be like her. If she continues to exist and challenge the Left’s raison d’être then she is evil and must be destroyed at any cost.”
I agree whole heartly
I agree whole heartily
“If she succeeds, worse, if she is right, then they become nobodies.”
So let’s make it happen!!
Great article and it hits the nail on the head. Palin is an American Original. Our first prominent Alaskan as far as I know; the last of the frontier. She is a stunning woman, gorgeous, a hunter which means she actually knows how to hunt and use a gun and does so. She rose to the highest levels of politics in an unusual way, from local to state to national . . . most prominent national politicians used wealth, family connections, military heroism, or localized implementation of a national movement to rise to prominence. She is like Harry Truman, a regular guy so to speak with a sudden prominence from the VP nod. She took on the establishment base of her own party on behalf of the people when she took on big oil in Alaska, and took on the Stevenson corruption of “pork” when she took on the “bridge to nowhere.” She’s someone that should be uniformly lionized. She’s a “puff piece” ready made . . . but the leftist control of big media stops that from happening.
This article does explain why.
Time to make the left’s heads explode and expose thier vanity and thier lack of relationship with the American people. The left wing media empire has no clothes.
This bugs me because I consider her to be just like me. I do not have cameras pointing at me 24/7, but we are very similar in many ways. So these attacks become personal to me.
Yeah...well she’s the most serious threat to the status quo in DC...the Rinocratic Party...the world’s most powerful political establishment. I really am not too surprised.
Good analysis and should be reposted sometime.
There’s double the hatred foisted on Palin as there was Reagan or Bush because she is a woman. Female Dems cannot abide the idea that millions of American women do not share their anti-male, anti-free market, and anti-American notions. Every women running for office should at least pay lip service to the skanky feminists who ruined women and damaged America. Actually it wouldn’t matter if it were Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Michelle Bachman, or other notable female conservatives. They would all receive the same barbs and irrational hatred as Palin is getting. It’s just that she’s the one poised to be the first female president.
