I don’t think there’s ever been a more polarizing figure than Sarah Palin.

I understand it’s possible, but I find it hard to imagine anyone having strong feelings about her that are not politically linked.

She's only polarizing because the Left says she's polarizing.

You know, according to that guy Alinsky?

Sarah Palin is polarizing because she represents the polar opposite of what the left has tried, and often succeeded, in bringing us to as a nation. Where the left presents dependency on government as the best way of life for all, Sarah Palin represents the middle class person (her dad was a school teacher) who worked her way through college, pursued her dreams (of being a TV news reporter) and, in Palin's case, 'settling down' to be a loving wife and proud mother (of 5) in an age when having more than 2 children is considered by liberals to be 'disrespectful of the planet'. She was picked by John McCain to be his vice president in the 2008 campaign and when she gave her stirring acceptance speech at the RNC convention, she instantly became a political star and a beacon of hope for disgruntled conservatives who were sick if having to go to the polls and vote for RINOs every election day. So, in effect, Sarah Palin is the polar opposite of what the left preaches as acceptable. Liking or disliking Palin is as much cultural as it is political and that divide is simply more apparent when personified by an attractive, vibrant woman who not only talks about values - but lives them. To the left, such values as self-sufficiency and a religious conviction (Christianity) are impediments and not to be encouraged. Palin - and millions of Americans - disagree. If that makes Sarah Palin 'polarizing', so be it.
