Thanks for posting. I was tempted to read the article BUT I DIDN’T.
FReepers have analytical skills that I can trust. Thanks to all posters.
It’s hard to blame her.
I enjoy marking over Newsweek in dr. offices while I wait. I take a pen and re-write the stories to pass the time. Gives me a grin to think of the next liberal reader.
It always comes down to the right to murder babies, doesn't it?
Does Deveny really think she's clever? Or does she really have the intellectual level of a 12 year old?
And what the hell does this indicate about the editors?
Well, the author certainly isn’t guilty. Maybe I’ll see her around town.
Excerpt
I am aware that I am responding to carefully crafted political images. I actually know very little about Sarah Palin’s ideology, and what I do know I don’t like: the extreme anti-abortion stand, her belief that creationism should be taught in schools alongside evolution. In the next eight weeks any number of things could emerge that will turn me off completely.
Excerpt
But if I’m really honest with myself, I’m mostly just happy that there’s another woman on the national political stage. I think it’s good for my 8-year-old daughter, who has called Hillary Clinton her idol. She doesn’t love Hillary because of her health-care policy or pro-choice stance: she loves Hillary because she thinks girls rule. The more powerful women there are on the national stage, the better it is for all women, because this is a game of numbers. When John Edwards destroys his political career by cheating on his wife, I don’t believe people wring their hands about what it’s going to mean for white guys. And when there are enough women in our political life, maybe we will be able to judge them as individuals, rather than representatives of all things uterine. Either way, I think we’re going to have to get used to Sarah Palin. Because she might be the one to crash through that “highest, hardest glass ceiling,” and not just because she has a gun.
Palin said during her 2006 gubernatorial campaign that if she were elected, she would not push the state Board of Education to add creation-based alternatives to the state’s required curriculum, or look for creationism advocates when she appointed board members.
Palin’s children attend public schools and Palin has made no push to have creationism taught in them.
Neither have Palin’s socially conservative personal views on issues like abortion and gay marriage been translated into policies during her 20 months as Alaska’s chief executive. It reflects a hands-off attitude toward mixing government and religion by most Alaskans.
SHE IS THE REAL DEAL!!! A REAL hard working person...with REAL personal beliefs...with REAL conviction that she lives in and serves the greatest country in the world. Sarah is undeniably Sarah.
It always is. The funny thing is many of them have no clue why.
I was getting to know my new sister-in-law a few years ago. College grad, feminist, but pretty and fun to be around ;) Oh, and her husband graduated from the same state school. Like most liberals he has no values/judgement system. Communists to him are "Well, that's what they want. It's not that bad anyway."
So, knowing how pro-abort my sis-in-law was I decided to see what she said. We got into a little bit of debate then I told her, "The only reason women today support abortion is because a baby is an inconvenience." Her eyes bugged out, her mouth open but I heard no words. She finally said, "No, it's more than that!" but she was clearly deflated. She had never thought about that angle before.
Oh, and she can't have any kids of her own.
Thou almost persuadest me.
Palin’s election could bring a new culture to America that embraces work and family, not by government mandate, but because employers and employees will see work-family balance in action. It could help break down the remaining nonsense, politically correct barriers at work by showing high productivity and family can complement each other.
The liberal baby-killers are determined not to give up what to them is their unalienable "right" to kill their unborn children for any reason, or for no reason at all other than the inconvenience of an untimely pregnancy.
Hitler, Stalin, and Mao together are damned to eternal infamy by those same liberals, and very rightly so, for murdering somewhere between 100 million and 200 million or more innocent people between the three of them. But just right here in the good old God-fearing, generous, humanitarian, supposedly Christian USA, liberal judges, pandering politicians, and unconcerned, lukewarm "people of faith" (I won't call them what they really are, contemptible hypocrites) who vote liberals into power over us have allowed professional abortionists, better described as for-hire hit-men and hit-women, to kill approximately 50,000,000 unborn and partially born babies since 1973.
I have to believe that if God in His heaven is just and evenhanded in His dealings with both men and nations, and I believe that He is, somehow, some way, at some time the US will have to answer to Him for our slaughter of the innocents. And when that day of reckoning arrives, our undeniable corporate guilt will probably be paid for in the medium of blood, defeat, tears, massive destruction, and ultimately in abject penal servitude to our multitude of enemies.
Gal 6:7 "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap."
History shows that the verse also applies to nations as well as individuals.
I see it as a warm-up for an all-out onslaught on Palin’s religion and position on abortion. We’re going to be hearing a lot about Roe v. Wade, soon. Very soon.
Anything short of approval of the legalized murder of live birth babies is considered to be an "extreme anti-abortion stand" by the baby killers.
her belief that creationism should be taught in schools alongside evolution.
Evolutionists consider anything less than a fervent, unbending commitment to the atheistic religion of evolution totally apart from any hint of intelligent design or any process other than Darwinian natural selection to be rank heresy punishable by banishment from academia. OTOH, many, if not most, proponents of intelligent design theory are willing to allow their beliefs to be examined, debated, and compared in the classroom to evolutionist theory.
The evos' refusal to allow students to even hear anything favorable to intelligent design epitomizes the ersatz version of academic freedom that Darwinists claim somehow trumps true academic freedom, and in some manner known only to them gives them the right to allow only one unproven and unprovable theory, theirs of course, to be presented as proven, incontrovertible fact to young skulls full of mush in government schools.
“Palin’s election could bring a new culture to America that embraces work and family, not by government mandate, but because employers and employees will see work-family balance in action.

You’ll have to excuse me me but 30 years ago this would have been BIG news. Women already do this all the time.
The barriers really aren’t there. What bothers employers is Mom taking time off from work for sick kids etc.. It disturbs productivity if they don’t have proper childcare. The problem isn’t the work place .... . It’s trying to have the work place fit the schedule of the parent when there is not dependable childcare availiable.
The problem of the left is that polls say America is now trending pro-life. It tends in the direction of RILOM Pro-Life (rape, incest, life of mother), but it definitely is NOT radical abortion at any time and any method. I think measured in terms of trimesters, the public is overwhelmingly opposed once you leave the 1st trimester.
