Her first name is Michael?
A strong woman intimidates the left.
Who knew?
This is something the Demcrats have still not grasped in the time since Palin was nominated. They just don’t have the mental tools to comprehend how far off base they are.
The Democrats had convinced themselves, that decent values wouldn’t sell. And frankly, the Republicans weren’t all that much better quite often.
Well here it is folks. There’s actual meaning here, if the two parties will only glean it for future reference.
Conservatives actually appeal to the finer qualities of people from both parties. Imagine that!
Now, if we could only get the RNC to support someone like this to run for Governor in California. Never happen!
Feminism - another stolen concept.
Sarah Palin is Wonder Tundra Woman!
Liberals need victims to gain power.
Feminist leaders are angry because Governor Palin clearly proves they are obsolete and unnecessary to women.
In order to cling to power, feminists are trying very hard to discredit Governor Palin.
They will fail.
Is it just me? I think Palin immediately recognized the "Bush Doctrine" question for exactly what it was - a trap? (Pretty quick of her). At that point, Charlie was reeking smugness and superiority! She knew the doctrine is defined in many ways, so whichever definition she went with, it would be construed as ignorance. All she did was ask him (twice, by the way) to define his question.
check it out on Wikipedia: The Bush Doctrine is a phrase used to describe various related foreign policy principles of United States president George W. Bush, created in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The phrase initially described the policy that the United States had the right to treat countries that harbor or give aid to terrorist groups as terrorists themselves, which was used to justify the invasion of Afghanistan.[1] Later it came to include additional elements, including the controversial policy of preventive war, which held that the United States should depose foreign regimes that represented a threat to the security of the United States, even if that threat was not immediate (used to justify the invasion of Iraq), a policy of supporting democracy around the world, especially in the Middle East, as a strategy for combating the spread of terrorism, and a willingness to pursue U.S. military interests in a unilateral way.[2][3][4]

Feminism is communism that worships at the alter of abortion.

Our huge land once had the call of the frontier for a new start -- and Alaska became the last of it.
Palin's kind of grit and savvy is akin to a frontier story: a young woman who was raised in a land of big sky and the midnight sun, a metaphor of sorts for being able to spot trouble a long way away.
Ping.
A commentary of courage - this woman will get more than her share of not just dirty looks from her peers but probable social ostracism.
But will also receive a lot of admiration from her readers - and actually from some of her peers.
I thought about being a feminist once but it just wasn’t worth being that unattractive. ; )

Then when Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey accused Democrat Bill Clinton, Steinem attacked THEM.It is amazing to me how after years of feminists celebrating frontier women who could "do it all," one emerges in the 21st Century, and they criticize Palin for not having an Ivy League education. And Todd Palin gets no credit from feminists for not being afraid of a strong woman.
What I love about Palin is that unlike her doctrinaire feminist Democrat counterpart in Michigan, Jennifer Granholm, Palin has gotten the job done. OTOH, Michigan's a mess. Palin's approval ratings in the high seventies and mid-eighties don't lie.
I have an inkling of what you're feeling now, Ms. Sneed. As a black man that rejects Democratic dogma, I have been told that I am not an authentic African-American. My response is that I was given my skin color by Almighty God, and I don't have to EARN it.
Shocking only for the fact that it’s TRUTHFUL.

The Palin file: It had to be said
September 17, 2008
BY MICHAEL SNEED Sun-Times Columnist
I do have an opinion. Really. I rarely write about my life, except for occasional references to my family and growing up in the grasslands of North Dakota.
And rarely, as a columnist, do I write about issues . . . although I have the cachet to do so.
Then Hillary Clinton ran for president and was hit with more sexist barbs than St. Sebastian had arrows.
And when John McCain chose (gulp!) a good-looking woman from Alaska named Sarah Palin as his running mate, the liberal pundits threw every red shoe at her they could find — and tossed as many hair pins at her as they could muster.
That frosted my cake.
Being first and fair was my journalistic baptism in the tumultuous 1960s.
Unfortunately, fairness keeps getting redefined.
Our reporters are fair and unbiased, but it’s no secret Obama adoration is overflowing in our columns.
My colleagues have a right to their opinions, but I’ve decided to interject a little balance in the column trade.
I’ve been in the newspaper business a hell of a lot longer than most of our columnists, but that doesn’t mean I’m wiser and smarter. But I do have history.
Covering the return of nine Marine POWs to Camp Pendleton from Vietnam’s Hanoi Hilton — where McCain was imprisoned for more than five years — gives me an intimate perspective.
Words barely describe his bravery and valor. I heard it first hand.
There is also no excuse for the way McCain deserted his wife, who waited for him to come home. But as with every tortured mind there is a reason — and McCain has never tried to hide what he did or make an excuse for it.
And if you think Sun-Times readers are only Obama supporters, think again. Here’s some excerpts from Sneed’s mail bin Tuesday.
“It seems you are the only columnist in Chicago that dare say anything good about [Palin]. I am so sick of the Obamamania around Chicago. I live in the city and would love to put up a McCain/Palin yard sign, but I think my house might get bombed.”
Pam K.
“I was pleasantly surprised by your article about Sarah Palin. I was very disturbed and offended by the number of liberal, one-sided articles in the Sun-Times Sept. 13th. Frankly, if I wasn’t disabled with the use of only one arm, I contemplated dropping my Sun-Times subscription last Saturday, but it is much easier to read with only one hand.”
Kenneth D.
“Well, I finally agree with you after all these years of reading your column.”
K. Messina
“If we African Americans can be gleeful over the candidacy of Barack Obama, it’s okay for you white women to gush over Sarah Palin.”
H.L. Martin
“Thank you. . . . That took incredible guts, and you have ‘em in spades. Finally someone at the Sun-Times who is not afraid to be proud of Palin.”
Mike H.
“What a courageous statement today, considering all the extreme bias around you. So kudos to one brave and honest member of the fourth estate.”
Rich and Lois B.
“Loved your article on Palin. Wow, can you write! You have guts to have that printed in Chicago. Keep strong.”
Fellow feminist P.W.
“After finishing your column just now, I have decided this morning to have it on my doorstep each day. I am a single working dad of a 14-year-old daughter. Hang tough.”
Jim C.
“I was undecided up until Palin was chosen. You hit on so many reasons I was feeling but could not verbalize. I feel her choice indicates McCain is more open to change than anybody. For a while I was beginning to think the Sun-Times was an arm of the Obama campaign.”
Marilyn E.
Though I’m an independent and hoping the debates will make up my mind, I think your column about Sarah Palin was fantastically wonderful. Go, Sneed, Go!”
Patricia B.
“It is so refreshing to hear a journalist say what America is actually thinking. I know you’re going to get quite a liberal backlash . . . just wanted to be one approving voice.”
