What a great post!

Her part about liberals name-calling Hillary (I guess Obama supporters) disappointing her made me feel left out. Us conservatives also have a few choice words for Hillary and what she stands for.

The Wilding of Sarah Palin

The word "wilding" really evokes potent imagery. I'm sure none of us will forget the relentless savage attacks on the women in Central Park. And this image of "wilding", as a metaphor, in relation to Sarah Palin, fits so perfectly. The Left has been relentless in their attacks on her. Using everything they can think of to attack her -- calling her names (slutty flight attendant), her Down Syndrome baby (is the child really hers), her wayward daughter (jokes about being knocked-up), her way of speaking ("you betcha"), Levi Johnson (who is now the "go-to" authority on Sarah Palin), etc etc -- it really IS a wilding, in the way they go after her, relentlessly, day after day, using any and all means to attack her, to try and take her down.

I don't know where she gets the strength to deal with it all. All I know is, she is still standing.

By forcing men to witness Palin's violation, the Left tries to emasculate conservative men and render them powerless.

I think this was the most poignant statement from Robin's article. We have to neutralize this emasculation.

I don't know where she gets the strength to deal with it all. All I know is, she is still standing.

What we have to realize is that the legacy Ronald Reagan gave to us is his example. Sarah is one person who is standing on his shoulders. We must all join her there.

Ronald Reagan has all the strength we will ever need.

As some leftist swine in the UK said, don’t you know the strong attractive women like Palin and Bachman are just a pretty face on the conservative evil, designed to fool unsuspecting people?

All over the US there are strong women like Sarah who do not run when their family is attacked. People like that tend to put a crimp in the leftist vision for America, and are considered to be more dangerous than anyone on FBI's most wanted list.

[Slyfox]

I have to believe people will eventually grow tired of this nonsense.

I whole-heartedly agree.

Now all the woman needs to do is turn to GOD and surrender to CHRIST for eternal salvation.

In the Age of Chivalry, gentlemen were required to come to the defense of ladies. We need to "discipline" the Leftie establishment or this undignified surge against Ms. Palin's reputation and character will continue.

The new American civil war is not "us" against the police or the army. It is "us" against the Liberal Elite who mock us, diminish us and, then, tax the hell out of us to support their social utopia while they wallow in the world's wealth and privilege. We are becoming their serfs. They are becoming our Marie Antoinette!

Praise her for seeing the light and now spreading the word, don’t bash her for once being ignorant or naive.

" The word "wilding" really evokes potent imagery"

Yes, and to a less malevolent extent it is a practice of some on the Right in regard to Sarah Palin.

Interesting that you mention Marie Antoinette. My daughter and I read a Tale of Two Cities together for her English Class. I would point out the similarities of what was happening then to what is going on now; the fraudelent scientists, immoral elites, and the corrupt government officials demanding all the money and living wicked lives while telling the starving common folks to eat grass.

I hope when the revolution comes, we don't go as overboard and punishing everyone as happened then. Let's make sure only guilty are punished.

Thanks Slyfox. A great article. I’ve read a few others from Robin of Berkeley and they are also very good. I’d recommend them to others, including the one where she describes the events which forced her to reject her liberal past.

[cubreporter]

Well, maybe some people like myself never saw it. It’s OK if there is a duplicate now and then...if it’s a great article such as this one it SHOULD bear repeating so as many people as possible can see it.
