Mary is to protestants what Palin is to leftists....

No, not even close.

Protestants just don't believe in lifting her up above the Apostles or anyother Christian, because Christ himself, according to scriptures never lifted her up to the exalted position that Catholic Tradition lifts her up to.

The Apostles are what they are because Jesus was born of Mary. Other Christians are what they are because of the Apostles. Your radical egalitarianism is not what Christ taught either.
