Today, in Columbia, South Carolina, two of the women who are showing America what real feminism is, will appear together, at which time Sarah Palin will officially endorse Nikki Haley for South Carolina Governor. I had the honor of meeting Nikki Haley, and hearing her speak, in Atlanta at the Red State Gathering last Summer.
She’s even more impressive in person than she is on paper (or web). She was one of several women, including Liz Cheney whom I also adore, who spoke at that event, each as impressive as the next. All smart as whips, charismatic, charming, quick, impassioned, energetic and with a fighting spirit embodying my personal motto: “Walk softly. But carry a big lipstick.”
The left hates that phrase and they have ridiculed me for it on more than one occasion. You see, they don’t get it. It’s not surprising, really, as we’ve all known for some time that while the left trots out the For The Women ™ meme constantly, they are anything but. The same way that self-avowed modern day feminists are anything but feminist. In fact, they are diametrically opposed to feminism, by it’s very definition, because their entire agenda is actually harmful to women. This is why I now call them Femogynists and I’m taking the term feminist back.
True feminists are women like Sarah Palin and Nikki Haley. They are the new faces of feminism. That has a great built-in bonus, too — they are far easier on the eyes and exhibit none of that irksome hysterical screeching like the already irrelevant and soon to be extinct femogynists. They, and women like them, are coming to the forefront now.
We’ve had it, you see. We are angry. We are tired of femogynists claiming that they speak for us. We are tired of being sneered at as gender traitors for not toeing the faux feminist line and by daring to be pro-life. We are tired of the attempts to diminish Motherhood. We are tired of women being painted as perpetual victims by the left, in need of Big Daddy Government to save us.
We are tired of working so hard to raise our families and having the government take more and more away. We are angry at being treated like children who aren’t capable of running their own lives, even down to what foods we eat. We are angry that our children’s futures are being squandered and we are fearful that they will never know the country we knew and love. We are angry that we are losing our freedom. That old phrase “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned?” Say hello to the scorned (I’m waving at you right now)
We are the women whom the left hates. And, you know if the left hates us, we must be doing something right, yes? They hate us because they don’t understand us, they actually believe that women are lesser, and they have a perverted definition of equality. With all their claims of “equality”, they don’t honestly believe that at all. Amanda Marcotte, once head blogger for cheater and long-time paternity denier John Edwards, exposed that when she recently tried to explain why all women should be liberals:
For me, women’s rights and liberalism are, in my mind, pretty hard to unhook, and it fascinates and amuses me that you see conservatives complain that feminists are always with the democrats, as if there’s ever going to be a form of conservative feminism. You look at someone like Sarah Palin trying to wear that mantle, and you see the flaw in trying to be a so-called conservative feminist, which is that you’re not very pro-women. Women need things for equality that tailor very neatly to the general liberal agenda: Clean environment, universal healthcare, civil rights, individual rights, bodily autonomy, things like that. I fail to see how the two agendas are all that different.
Who is not very pro-women, Miss Marcotte? Silly me! I suppose you must be right because I’m a big dum-dum. How can mere women care about pesky things like the economy or icky military stuff? Math is hard! And that’s for boys! (Well, except for President Obama, evidently). I should just shut up or start screeching about my “right” to abort unborn babies so that I can be “equal” and care about pretty stuff like the environment.
Yeah, not so much. I’ll stick with Sarah Palin, Nikki Haley, Liz Cheney, Michelle Bachmann, Michelle Malkin and other strong, brilliant Moms.
I believe that the left is in for a rude awakening and a nice long time out given to them from said Mommies. Leave it to Mommy to make it all better, as always!
Hopefully, these feminists won’t support feminist judges like Sotomayor and Kagan. I know the wackey feminist Fiorina said she would’ve voted to confirm Sotomayor and doesn’t see any reason not to confirm the feminist/abortionist/socialist/anti-military/anti-family/anti-first amendment petty tyrant Kagan.
Any party that can support Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy hates women.
Talk about embracing the slippery slope!
Conservatives believe in traditional values, not Feminism. Changing the name won't change the facts. Gay once meant happy.
The gender-bending Palins
..."Utopian designs for masculinizing women, marginalizing men and vaporizing family homes are far more than literary fantasies. At least two real-world political movements – Marxism and feminism – have devoted considerable effort to pursuing [such] utopian objectives."...(snip)

Todd Palin was working for years, away for months in the slopes and mountains of Alaska bring home the bacon while Sarah was raising Bristol and Track at home!! That’s unmanly for Todd????
He also was a commercial fisherman owning a business with his wife...how is that unbecoming of a family?
He is a 6 time ironman enduring hours and days in the bitter cold and just because he supports his wife when she has offical duties as governor is wrong? then NO woman should be in politics or the upper management of business or government ever!

This one is for all the Momma Grizzly out there.
/do I really need a sarcasm tag?
What we learned in 2008 that the left's definition of feminism means your must be pro choice. Of course, women like Sarah, Haley, Bachmann, Coulter, Malkin, etc. are the true examples of what feminism is- the ability to rise above gender and excel on your intelligence and skill.
My grandma was a conservative feminist from the standpoint she always told me, 'you can do or be anything you want'. There is so much freedom and empowerment in that phrase. Of course, she wanted me to be Miss America. LOL! She was an extraordinary woman and never played by the rules. ;)
Lets not forget about this one.
Sarah Palin: New Mexico is Fired Up, Ready to Go!
I’m proud to endorse Susana Martinez for governor of New Mexico. Susana is a strong pro-family, pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-development fiscal conservative who’s going to fight the corruption that’s plagued her state and bring transparency, accountability, and renewed fiscal vitality to New Mexico.
As a tough district attorney, Susana fights for justice everyday in this promising, beautiful state. Her unwavering commitment to bring justice speaks to her determination and strength of character.
As governor, Susana will lead New Mexico to a new economic vitality based on free market reform that cuts out the cronyism, invites competition, reduces taxes, cuts waste, and creates jobs – all while identifying and rooting out the corruption that has taken hold for too long in this state which deserves so much better!
Please join me in supporting this breath of fresh air from the Land of Enchantment – the gorgeous state of New Mexico! Visit her website here, and follow her on Facebook and Twitter.
I’m also excited to join Susana at the 9:00 am rally tomorrow, Sunday, May 16th, at the Albuquerque Marriott Grand Ballroom, located at 2101 Louisiana Blvd. NE. Space is limited, so please click here to RSVP if you can swing by and join us.

Anyone willing to track the number of candidates Palin endorses in this election cycle and the number that win?
I suspect if she is successful, the state-controlled media will try to fudge the numbers and someone will need to document the truth.
They’re going to want to say Palin’s endorsement is a candidate-killer as a way to blunt her possible 2012 candidacy and try to talk the GOP out of nominating her.
Republican National Committee 202-863-8500.
Reagan spoke for Goldwater. I went to the YAF convention in New York in 1964 when it was time to draft Goldwater.
Michael Reagan welcomed Sarah Palin's appearance.
We as conservative Americans favor principles over individuals--humans are so, mortal.
Thus has it ever been. The founders knew this.
Their internal debates were fiery, impassioned, and then they made a nation unlike any before nor since.
If it were a time of choosing today:
{:-)...See...We can all find a way to get carried away...{:-)
Well said.
True. Two of the worst scum to women ever.
GREAT POST
Feminism means different things to different people. The term has become so loaded down with baggage that it is better to avoid the term. Feminism is another type of Liberation ideology that sees reality in terms of oppressor and oppressed. Males are the oppressors, and females are the oppressed. Feminism is actually a denial of reality, and it is antagonistic and divisive. There is no good form of feminism. It is all destructive.
You won’t find too many of the haters on this thread. Palin is supporting an uber conservative in South Carolina. That doesn’t fit into the “irrelevants’” narrow view.
She never gets credit for the bulk of her endorsements have been to excellent conservatives.

Sarah Palin is a conservative woman who wants to promote conservative women and conservative men, in that order.Understand that I'm using "conservative" the way the political culture uses the term. In reality, the Constitution is a progressive document, and in American "conservatism" is about preserving the liberal institutions of the Constitution against the "liberal" "progressive" people who actually are against both liberty and progress. There is actually no contradiction between promoting the change of increasing women in powerful government positions and conserving the freedom to work toward such changes.
To the extent that Gov. Palin succeeds in promoting conservative women and men (and demoting liberal women and men, she will cut into one of the two main voting blocs that Democrats have counted on. I always thought that we'd have a conservative black president first, but she's pushing for a conservative woman president. But either way . . .If Palin can prevent the Democrats from getting their winning edge from women, the Democrats won't be able to make up the loss anywhere else. And they have to know it.
