but what's perfectly clear is that feminism today is not about advancing women, but only a certain kind of woman.

needs repeating

The greatest achievement of feminism won't be that a woman reached the vice presidency, but that a woman no longer needed feminists to get there.

Should Palin and McCain prevail come November, feminism can curtsy and treat herself to a hard-earned vacation. The greatest achievement of feminism won't be that a woman reached the vice presidency, but that a woman no longer needed feminists to get there.

Amen, sister. Amen.

There are far more decent “mommy” voters, who are appalled at how Palin and her family have been treated, than there are feminist dike voters. Rest assured, vengence will occur on election day.

I have a sudden epiphany for why certain persons on the left are having their heads somewhat explode over the last few days.

Yeah, like this kind:

The criticism of Palin is a class issue. The upper-middle class reporters, commentators, and lefty bloggers are offended that a non-U person has crashed their party. Had McCain chosen Romney or Pawlenty, they would not have to confront the idea that cultivation of upper-middle behaviors and experiences is not the only ticket to success. This is why the fact that Bristol is keeping her child seems so lurid to the “news” media. Doing so is a non-U marker. A proper upper-middle class teenager would not let something like a child get in the way of college, career, and an eventual position within the ruling elite...

Yup. You can take that to the bank.

By the way, a big thanks to all the rock-ribbed dudes and dudettes here at FR who haven’t gone wobbly in the past couple of days because of the anti-Palin Shi’itestorm.

There’s literally no reason to be afraid, but everywhere I go I read bloggers and pundits I used to respect saying that McCain should’ve chosen someone else.

Screw that.

As someone else said, if we can’t win with Palin, we weren’t going to win anyway.

Spines of steel here, and I appreciate it.

They are SCARED.

Sarah is no lib, lefty, socialist, communist...etc...

She scares the left because they do not and never will understand CONSERVATIVES.

The drive-by were ready to hammer Romney, et al then BAM a suprise pick they were duped and te media does not like that one bit.

Same with blacks. Tow the Dem line, like Obama, and you’re elevated to sainthood. Be a Republican, like Rice, Powell, Thomas, Steele, etc...and you’re an Uncle Tom.

Well ThomasW, I actually think we DO have reason to be afraid, with NO voice in the MSM, but that being said, I think something I posted yesterday bears repeating -

“the left will try to destroy ANYONE in order to accomplish what they want. That has become abundantly clear. The 2000, and 2004 elections have steeled their will, and they do believe that ANY means to their end is acceptable.

So, do we only choose candidates who have no family to ruin? I admit, that thoughts similar to yours have passed through my head, but something Rush said today, rang true. If Gov. Palin had NOT accepted McCain’s offer, her daughter would have never been able to forget one of the costs of her momentary lapse in judgement...

They are desperate, and the stakes in this, for all of us, are VERY high : \ “

We are definitely headed in the right direction, because I do believe that Gov. Palin TERRIFIES the left. We must stand and fight with, and for her.

Tatt

“rest assured, vengeance will occur on election day.”

how sweet it would be to watch hard-core, leftist, self-appointed-superior-intellectual-geniuses, sent packing and made to vacate the offices that they have so cluttered with socialist/progessive/communist refuse.

IMHO
