"At a recent rally in the swing state of Virginia, she was greeted with crowds chanting 'Sarah, Sarah, Sarah' as though she was a cross between Madonna and the Pope."
Sarah is not an bulimic, philandering woman. No comparison to Diana at all.
And no more hilary for 12 years.
Really, really enjoyed this article. Thanks for posting it.
In Palin they see optimism; in Obama cynicism. In Palin they see pride in her country; in Obama an element of shame.
It is heart versus head, instinct versus intellect; certainty versus hand-wringing; straight-forwardness versus sophistication.
Right on!
FIrst she's compared to Eva Peron, and now, Diana, Princess of Wales.
Kind of sick, don't ya'll think?
Actually. . . “At a recent rally. . . he was greeted with crowds chanting ‘Obama, Obama, Obama’ as though he was a cross between Madonna and the Pope.”
I have noticed at Obama rally’s and such, the crowd chant's “Obama, Obama, Obama,” whereas at McPalin rally’s, the crowd chants with “USA, USA, USA. . .” or “Country First, Country First, Country first!”
Big difference between the cult of Obama and clear thinking patriotic Americans, and a great idea for a TV spot.
Nailed it ... and this phony outrage, indignation from Gov. Palin's detractors, the condescension demonstrated with the claims that Sen. McCain has insulted America with his veep selection falls on deaf ears -- we simply are not that stupid.
There was a movie made of the true story of Erin Brockovich. It was and has always been popular with all women, particularly the feminists. Ms. Brockovich was an ordinary middle-class mom with no college degree (and, like Palin, also had a short stint in beauty pageant winning) who just wanted to have a good job and do what was right for her family. She ended up being propelled into the legal world with no background at all in jurisprudence. Through her street-smarts, sheer determination, a basic instinct to help the people no matter the odds, as well as a penchant for fair play and getting at and exposing the truth achieved more than all the highly-educated, ladder climbing, self-promoting corporate lawyers could. She took on the big guys and won! Brokovitch represented to women what they can do, no matter the obstacles and put-downs they have had to endure.
So why, when Sarah Palin is clearly such a similar achiever, do liberal women and left-wingers have such a prejudice against her? It is not that they really think she is not qualified, certainly we have had other VP candidates and even elected Vice Presidents with slim qualifications (Theodore Roosevelt being a prime example). The answer is simply - jealousy.
Feminists and their flocks of angry, aggressive, cut-throat followers are jealous that it wasn't one of their "gals" who follows their playbook of rules about abortion rights and hating men has made it so far (and that she is a Republican, to boot). They are all acting out like they have PMS over Sarah's VP nomination. And, they are demonstrating just exactly the kind of female behavior that men have always been concerned about women in power. They are catty, sneaky, caustic, and emotional. Not at all qualities for leadership. That's why most of them have not achieved as Sarah has. With all their education, degrees, connections, clout and the media behind them...they are still petty little princesses in the school playground picking on the one who is different and who they feel is not worthy to be in their "clique."
When Sarah was announced as a contender in this election it spurred the feminists to expose themselves as exactly like the "bitc**s" who the corporate world has not wanted to promote to managerial or administrative positions. Their petty, fraudulent attacks on Sarah Palin show to the world the worst and most irritating side of females and what men most dislike and fear about women in the workplace. Sarah, who is adventurous, down-to-earth, disciplined, strong and ladylike, has overcome their type of teenage, hormone-raging, tantrum throwing behavior. In doing so, she has trumped the hate-filled feminists at their game and their egos' just can't handle it.
I liked this quote: “For all the hype that has surrounded Barack Obama, the cruel fact may prove to be that more American voters can identify with the dreams of the white girl from the frontiers than the black man from the Washington beltway.”
Yep, she’s real; she’s us...
Woo hoo! You go Sarah!
I understand she’s likeable, and why, but Princess Palin royalty? That’s the last thing we need.
Anyway on a related note, I was wondering who else saw the Royal Family thing on 20/20 the other night. Prince Charles is now running around England strutting his common-man stuff, chatting up dance school instructors and talking to the media about wanting to warm the royal family up out of the stuffy 18th century. Steal Diana’s schtick much?
I suspect articles like these part of more to come, in an effort designed to humanize the Windsors... and have England accept Charles as the next king, instead of bypassing him for William.
“Moreover, while Obama appears to have been on a lifelong search for his identity, Palin has never wondered who she was or where she was from.”
This sentence alone makes this an excellent article.
Great post!
Was a cinch this wasn’t from our press.
It will do no good for Billary to take note. She exhibits no femininity and has piano legs. God bless her little heart, she can take all the notes she wants, a PIAPS with lipstick is still a PIAPS!
I don’t compare her to Princess Diana. I compare her to Diana Prince, AKA Wonder Woman!
Smart, brave women have been a part of America's history from its beginning. Many stories of Revolutionary women can be found here .
One such story related there is "Deborah Samson Gannett, American Patriot (1760-1827)"
"Deborah Samson was born on Dec 17, 1760 to John and Deborah Samson in Plympton, Massachusetts. The family could trace their lineage to the Mayflower on both sides including such notables as Priscilla Alden and Myles Standish.
"Deborah was the eldest of 3 daughters and 3 brothers. When Deborah was about 5 yrs old, her father left to go to sea and was supposed to have died at sea. Later day research shows that he simply walked out on his family and created a new life in Maine. This left the Samson family with 6 mouths to feed and Mrs. Samson was in poor health. She fostered the children for a while, but at the tender age of 8 or 10 Deborah was placed in indentured servitude with the kind, but large family of Jeremiah Thomas of Middlesborough. The Thomas family had no girls, but lots of boys and Deborah was responsible for taking care of them and getting them ready for school. She read the boys' school books at night and succeeded in learning enough this way that when she turned 18 and was freed she obtained a position as schoolteacher in Middlesborough. All the time she spent with the Thomas Family and afterwards was spent among the growing tension between the British and the Colonists. It was during this time that the Stamp Act was placed into effect, and revolutionary thinkers such as James Otis and Samuel Adams were starting to show the colonists that they didn't need the British to protect them, that in fact the colonies could protect themselves. Deborah watched as the British attempted to halt the rebellious talk and acts by closing the port of Boston and quartering troops in private homes. She watched as the "intolerable acts" were put into effect and she heard the news of the stand in Lexington and Concord that fateful April day. She heard the reading of the Declaration of Independence and she watched the young colonists get their first real taste of war. She was not frightened by this, her only question was "Why can I not fight for my country too?".
Deborah finally decided that to do her duty to her country she would dress up as a man and enlist. Her first attempt was in 1782 but after signing the enlistment papers to join the American Army, she had a change of heart and did not show up the next day. A while later in 1782 she firmed her resolve and attempted again to enlist in the military. She, on May 20, 1782, signed up to join the company of Captain Nathan Thayer, which later became a part of the 4th Massachusetts Regiment using the name Robert Hurtleff. Although General Cornwallis had already surrendered at Yorktown, there was still fighting in New York.. Her disguise worked and she was mustered into Captain George Webbs Co. Her local church hearing rumors of "Unchristian" like behavior, of wearing men's clothing and joining the army, decided shortly after her company left the Boston area, to excommunicate her. Such was often the price for individualist thinking. Deborah's company though was going to lower New York where while Washington held the area, many small guerilla attacks were still happening. Deborah's company was charged with assisting to halt those attacks. During one of the particularly bloody engagements in Tarrytown, NY, Deborah, while attempting to retreat, was wounded in the head and then the thigh. She was escorted to a field hospital where her head wound was treated.
"She did not tell the doctor about the musket shot in her leg for fear of discovery. She tried to treat the wound herself, but lacking the strength to dig the musket ball out, she left it there and as such her leg never healed properly. She, after many weeks, healed enough to return to active duty. During this time though she was to come down with a fever and the doctor while treating her, discovered her secret. He had her removed to his house and personally oversaw her treatment, all the while keeping her secret. After Deborah was healed he secretly passed her secret on to a General at Fort Knox who then honorably discharged her on October 23, 1783, while publicly keeping her secret.
"Deborah when talked about as Robert, was thought of as a great soldier, with endurance and courage, something much needed in the military at that time. The war had been long and hard. After the war she met and married Benjamin Gannet. Although a good marriage, it was a poor marriage. The Gannets often had to borrow money. Paul Revere, a good friend of Deborah, upon hearing this, petitioned the Massachusetts government to provide her with back pay and interest to the sum of 37 pounds. This was not enough to ease their financial woes, so Deborah took to the lecture circuit. She was the first female lectern. he would travel from city to city and give lectures about her experience as a soldier in the war, wearing her uniform and such. This while better still was not enough, so in the early 1800's she was awarded a veterans pension of 4 dollars a month. This pension was eventually awarded to her husband as a survivor pension after Deborah died on April 19, 1827 in Sharon, Mass. She was 67 years old and had 3 children. Deborah is now the official Heroine of the State of Massachusetts and there is even a chapter of DAR named after her. She was a true American Hero."
Perhaps Sarah is more in the mold of the original American women than of the late brand of unremarkable feminists who today criticize and belittle Sarah Palin.
Oh come on!
BTTT!
Their problem is that they - like many liberal commentators - just can’t fathom why Palin is so popular.
Go water Biden’s hair, Liz.
