This image isn't satire, it's reality. That's the crux of the left's issue with Palin, I think.

On the battlefield, there are times when you have to use the enemies' own weapons or tactics to defeat them. Perhaps this is one of those instances.

Yes ... it is one of those times ... .
Where are the interviews of life-long relationships (or short-term) with the people who know Barry and Joe.
When I look at Sarah Palin, I see leadership, strength, unwavering confidence, wisdom, intelligence, and grace. I see somebody who has accomplished more in her two years as Governor than Obama has in his entire life.

She is the one we’ve been waiting for.
See You Tube and Google and use the keywords "Bill Ayers", "Tony Rezko", "Michael Pfleger", "Jeremiah Wright", "Frank Marshall Davis", "Michelle Obama", "Neil Kinnock" "Ted Kennedy" and "Trinity UCC"...
Charles Krauthammer is another who is a little chilly with the Palin pick. I believe he is pro-choice.
Town hall features them because the liberal establishment won’t touch them.
You are right, she is not a politician, she is what they used to call a statesman.

Hit right out of the park with this observation!
> She’s getting away with it because of her ......... .
She ain’t getting away with NOTHING!!!
She’s had more dirt and filth and mud and ridicule and condescension thrown at her and her family in ONE WEEK than any career politicians have in their ENTIRE LIVES!!!
The problem is that when you are a public figure your role is looked at. You home life is looked at. Your political life is looked at. Remember Clinton? Inhaling? The draft? Wondering if he fathered an illegitimate child? Who Clinton’s father really was? It is unfortunate but that is howit is. They also serve as ROLE MODELS. Sarah is serving as a role model for females in particular - she’d like you to believe that you can “have it all” - “career and raise a family at the same time”. Do you want your family to be like this? Is this what you aspire to as a woman?
Michael Savage and Peggy Noonan come to mind.
Good headline writing is an art, and whoever wrote this one is an artist.
I’m not sure statesman is right either. I like Freedom Fighter.
> Is this what you aspire to as a woman?
For starters, I ain’t a woman.
Also, read proverbs 31:10-ff and the story of Deborah in Judges chapter 4.
I’m not necessarily saying that Sarah is a Deborah, but she does seem to be the only person with enough pluck to weather the incredible storms for saying what she’s saying.
I repeat.
Neither Bill Clinton nor ANY OTHER POLITICIAN IN MY LIFETIME, was EVER bashed in their whole lives as much as Sarah has been in JUST ONE WEEK.
I agree that Sarah is being bashed more ... on the other topic, the Bible, perhaps you need to read beyond Deborah? I’ll let you discover that answer ... .
I see it this way, the GOP Is between a rock and a hard place ... if Sarah is willing to sacrafice her family so we can avoid Obama - fine. As for us, we don’t want the role of Mr. Mom for our daughter when she marries. Prior to marriage - GO FOR IT! During marriage GO FOR IT! If kids come - STOP! Make your children your priority. DO not outsource them. They are more important than money or fame. After the kids are grown - GO FOR IT!
You do as you see fit. We prefer traditional family values and roles. We will not be fooled into liberal famiy values in this home.
nmh,
We have 11 children, three sons and EIGHT daughters.
We are a Christian homeschooling family.
Trust me when I say we’ve read beyond Deborah. We’ve read Esther, too. We’ve even read all the way to Titus 2:5 (”keepers at home”) and beyond.
We are VERY conservative, in our music, our attire, and our habits. We don’t have a TV, we don’t chew gum, we don’t imbibe alcoholic spirits, we don’t intentionally inhale smoke, and we don’t watch Hollywood movies.
The computers in our home network are behind a Linux firewall with a Dansguardian internet proxy, where only urls kept in a password protected list are allowed.
Having said all that, let me reassure you that my wife and I had many, many reservations about any woman being in politics, which we consider to be the realm of men.
But, to quote Denny Kenaston, “Where are the men?”
In my lifetime I have witnessed the degradation and feminization of manhood, even as womanhood was being degraded and masculinized.
I honestly don’t know what to make of the Sarah phenomenon.
Is God raising up a woman as a slap in the face to the weak and dissipated men in this country, just as He did with Israel under Deborah?
I don’t honestly know.
But I confess that I thouroughly enjoy hearing Mrs. Palin eviscerate that stupid Donkey and its minions, as well as the enemies of our country, in strong, believable, articulate terms that I have not heard from ANY of the presidential contenders since Ronald Reagan.
I believe that God has given us our vote as one of the talent he gives us to be invested, multiplied, and returned to him.
In this election, I will try to maintain a Kingdom perspective.
I will not be voting for the lesser of two evils, neither will I be wasting my vote on some third party, rather I will be voting for the greater good.
