The other day, as I was watching one of the news channels I had to quickly check my calendar because I had the feeling that I may have only dreamt that the election was over.
The reason for my confusion was that several commentators were still taking shots at Sarah Palin. Here it was, weeks after the woman had left the campaign trail, and the abuse was as strident as it had been throughout her months-long quest for the second spot on the ticket. The man who ran for the first spot on the ticket had shed his bulletproof armor; yet, the woman still needed Secret Service protection.
The continuous assault on Sarah Palin is not so difficult to understand. In fact, it can be summed up thusly: she's a woman opposed to abortion. You see, when a man says he's opposed to abortion, women who disagree can accuse him of trying to control a woman's body and/or simply not understanding how a woman feels about dealing with pregnancy, career achievement and defeating the "good ole boy" network. But, how are they going to justify that to a Sarah Palin, who has raised a family, been elected to the highest office in her state and has gained a reputation as a corruption fighter? And a woman decided to keep, raise, and love a Down syndrome child, her son Trig.
Governor Palin represents a stake in the heart of the abortion movement and for that reason alone, she must be sniped at, ridiculed and trashed until her name becomes a scarlet letter on the bosom of every woman who dares to challenge the inner sanctum of liberal orthodoxy.
Clarence Thomas, during his Supreme Court nomination process, went through a similar pattern of degrading denunciation from those who feared that a black conservative would make it more difficult for liberals to polarize the country. According to some nebulous formula that only exists in the maladjusted minds of mental misfits, every black person should be reading from the same script. In other words, they dare not stray off the reservation. A black who can think and act independently is likely to be the victim of a "high-tech lynching," as Justice Thomas referred to it during the outrageous Anita Hill imbroglio.
Inasmuch as we live in a country that has become obsessively egocentric, we have entire groups who dedicate themselves to single issues. If you believe that women should have the right to kill their fetuses, you may be willing to elect someone with questionable credentials who is pro-abortion, over someone with a sterling reputation who is pro-life.
For these ideological narcissists, nothing is more important than the continued growth and consolidation of their power base. They wouldn't spend a New York minute on the examination of a candidate's qualification, education or history of accomplishment. All they want to know is; will she or he support them in their battle to keep abortion legal.
Not that they'll openly admit it. On the contrary, you'll often hear them say they don't believe in a litmus test for public office. However, the moment they see a name on a list that's connected with pro-life, their eraser will be ground down. Even Obama, when asked about Justice Thomas during the campaign, said, with obsequious submission, that he would not have nominated him.
That was merely another knee-jerk genuflection to the pro-abortion jackals, whose sharpened fangs, dripping with the blood of infidels, were poised to pounce on another lost sheep with the temerity to stray from the flock.
Sarah Palin lost, but her wholesome family values image continues to be a threat; hence she must be crushed.
Bob Weir is a former detective sergeant in the New York City Police Department. He is the executive editor of The News Connection in Highland Village, Texas.
The giant needs to stay awake. We are in for a rough ride.
“The other day, as I was watching one of the news channels I had to quickly check my calendar because I had the feeling that I may have only dreamt that the election was over. “
since the Clinton presidency, the campaign is never over.
“sarah palin lost, but her wholesome family values image continues to be a threat; hence she must be crushed.”
these socialist punks are going to prove to everyone that they are nothing but socialist punks seeking to imitate the tactics of adolf hitler and his minions.
IMHO
Her opponents view her honest talking and straightforward nature as somehow anti-intellectual. Because she doesn't couch everything she says in endless nonsense Obamaesque "deep thought" words like "as I examine the issues carefully..." or "in point of fact..." or "to answer that question with any level of specificity would be...", they think that she isn't smart. I guess the people have grown accustomed to politicians who use one thousand words to say nothing.
The GOP - the powers that be - gave us an unelectable candidate. A man who still and always will suffer Stockholme syndrome. He was selected purposely to lose, I’m sure of it.
Sarah Palin is the real McCoy. She gave the eletion the appearance of authenticity. It was not, however. It was rigged from the start by the powers that be. We conservatives were baited and Sarah Palin was USED.
We must all band together and be strong in our beliefs. Half of the country detests obama. Do not forget that, ever. We are up against marxist mind control.
That is a ridiculous statement.
The problem with that is that after he establishes that precedent we will never have another real election! I am not even sure the one just finished should be considered a valid election. Marxists DO NOT allow anything other than fake elections.

He has not to this point proved citizenship. I am not a conspiracy nut but something doesn't pass the smell test.
The ‘RAT media have to destroy Palin since she is the only one young enough to compete with “The One”.
Not until we figure out a way to break the Media’s deathgrip on our culture can we expect to take back the country.
Sure, and how are things at the RNC? By the way, I have worked at the top of Washington politics for more than 30 years. You are either naive, uninformed, or duplicitous. Try doing your homework in the real world of hardball politics before you post your inanities.
Let them keep attacking her... It will make excellent material for a documentary which in one fell swoop will conclusively show all their manipulation, derangement, unfairness.
Dear Camille Paglia, I’ve shown you scorn, but I know that underneath it all, though ideologically different, you’re a thinking human being, smart and perceptive.
You defended Palin in leftwing territory. And you did it effectively. You even declared that you felt “played and gamed” by Obama’s unwillingness to easily show his birth certificate.
This documentary about how the world’s greatest democracy has gone mad, not just around the edges, where perhaps a touch or two of folly is even called for, but very close to the heart, would be a job for you.
Do it!
Baloney.
You're full of it. Palin is the subject of this thread, but you obsessively NEVER miss a chance to snipe at Romney. Conservatives discern correctly that Palin is a threat to liberals and so is Romney.
The media gave us McCain.
They are gonna do to her what they did to Dan Quayle. She’ll never be taken seriously by the sheeple when they get through with her. Damn shame.
Sure, newbie.
You hardballin’ DNC insider, you.
