Perfect point. I agree fully. Great reason for Christians to stand up and support her!

She did all the things libs say women are supposed to do - have a family, run a business, and have a serious career BUT she did it without "marrying it" or filing a lawsuit to get it or whining to some advocacy group to demand it for her.

Joh 15:18 If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before [it hated] you.

Joh 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Joh 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

Joh 15:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name`s sake, because they know not him that sent me.

They hate her for the same reasons they hate Clarence Thomas.

I have a serious question to all. What does the democratic party offer women? I mean their all about women’s rights,but what is the difference between parties,other than abortion?

They “hate” her because she isn’t running on their ticket, and she knocked the wind right out of their sails.

Sarah Palin is the object of their venom because, in the very darkest part of their hearts — the deepest part that allows no admission — they are ashamed.

Their goals are false, their dreams are sterile, and they will have no legacy. As a result, their existence is meaningless, and they KNOW it; they are but dust in the wind. Sarah Palin is a living, breathing refutation of everything they claim to espouse...she speaks for love, selflessness, and faith in the future. Therefore, she must be destroyed.

From all the hate mail I am seeing from near 40 women I know, I would think this point is right on.

>>>But it’s more than just doctrine. It’s that so many people on the left have condoned abortions, helped others obtain abortions, or even had abortions themselves in the very same circumstances under which Sarah Palin chose life. Honest people are an affront to liars. Law-abiders are an affront to criminals. And the woman who has made pro-life “choices” is a stinging affront to modern feminism, which has spent decades trying to convince women that an unwanted pregnancy is like a disease and the unborn child something like a parasite.

They hate her because they fear her. They see her as a mortal threat to their return to power. McCain they could (they think) handle, but Sarah is too damn good. And that scares the pee out of them.

They hate her because she is what they are not. She is the antithesis of what they desire and how they live their lives.
Not only is she a mother who has 5 children, she is one that chose to have a down syndrome baby, and loves God. All those things are incompatible with modern liberalism.

Here is a link to the most hateful thing yet. They are attacking a helpless baby.

Why Do They Hate Sarah Palin So?

Because she's energized the American voters, including liberals and independents.
The "progressives" are wetting their knickers.

Next dumm question...

As Robert Pirsig explained in his lovely novel on motorcycle maintenance, no one jumps up and down screaming that the sun will rise tomorrow. Highly emotional responses indicate fear and uncertainty, not the opposite.

Is that Zen and the Art of motorcycle maintenance?

She is successful, a devoted wife, and does what she says and believes in...not constantly asking for forgiveness like an NFL player, politician or celebrity.

The Left specializes in irresponsibility then magically “washing it away” with an apology. This is why they hate private ownership of guns and property, with ownership comes responsibility (taxes, yard, cleaning, registering, target practice) and the Communists like taking things for granted.

A conservative marvels at planting a seed, watering it, fertilizing it and ending up, months later, with a beautiful flower...the Liberal takes the flower, rips the petals off, and proceeds to walk all over them in “tribute” to themselves...(Barbara Striesand comes to mind).

There is alot of pent up rage in alot of women. They bought into the abortion for their own good mantra...and then, silently, many are remorseful and depressed. They can't undo what they did--regain what they lost--so they feel better by 'helping' other women make the same choice. Misery loves company...and guilt loves comparison (I'm not so bad, I only had one; Sue had three). Publicly the vitriol is released. Privately, many of these women are a emotional mess.

What does the democratic party offer women?
**********************************************
The same thing they offer black people ,, empty promises and quotas.

As to abortion the Democrats were the “status quo” party that perpetuated slavery with plans like adding states in pairs one free / one slave etc. etc. ,, many people refuse to see abortion as the same but it’s undeniable that the basis of both is denying personhood to groups of humans...

Mrs Palin represents everything the liberals hate....family, heterosexuality, children, good looks, positive individualism....for that last 30 years the liberals have burned the rubber trying to destroy the family...now in microsecond of politics, Palin has swept the liberals perverted platform into the garbage.....

They hate her because her elevation to prominence represents a culture shock - like sticking a finger in their eye. She came from “nowhere,” she never associated with them, never went to their parties or participated in their interviews, she has no association with establishment institutions (like an ivy league college or an institution in a power-center like Washington D.C.), she is religious, she has five children, her husband doesn’t play around. This is not what a person of power is supposed to be.

In addition, she tells them the truth about themselves, without pulling any punches.

Just too much to bear.
