Wow – after two days of tax school; preparing myself for the upcoming filing season, I was exhausted, came home, and fell asleep and now I’m sitting here in the wee hours totally energized and scanning the net on various “news” stories. This one; posted on The Harvard Crimson by Claire Guehenno really attempts to go further than any smear-article ever could on Palin. You can read the article but be prepared to vomit. I have decided to begin with a quote from the article and paste the comment I left on the web site:
“Gov. Sarah Palin has disappeared from national politics and returned to her governorship in Alaska—at least until the 2012 campaigns get going—and I couldn’t be happier.”
Are you blind, deaf, or both?
Let’s see, she did a two-day interview with Matt Lauer, a two-day interview with Wolf Blitzer, a three-day interview with Greta Van Susteran, and is having her door blown down by Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Walters, and Larry King as well.
In fact; even profound writers like Claire Guehenno cannot seem to shut up about Gov. Palin. Gee, I wonder why.
The oppressed, modern-day liberal women are terrified that a conservative woman can be accomplished.
Sarah Palin is a college graduate (oh, and she’s pro-life, too!).
Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasilla giving her executive experience (oh, and she’s pro-life, too!).
Sarah Palin was elected governor of Alaska in a landslide victory (oh, and she’s pro-life, too!).
Sarah Palin’s tenure as governor gave her the highest approval rating as a governor ever in this country and even more executive experience (oh, and she’s pro-life, too!).
Sarah Palin has one (yes, only one!) husband (yes, a husband!) who’s never cheated on her, who she loves with all her heart and had five gorgeous, beautiful, polite, and patriotic children with (oh, and she’s pro-life, too!).
She lowered spending, gave up Governor luxuries like a private jet and chef, did right by her constituents; because, after all this is why people should choose public service which is to serve with a servant’s heart.
Of course liberal women are going to support Hillary Clinton: a woman who sacrificed her self-respect as a woman to allow her sleaze-dog husband to cheat on her repeatedly and stay with him for the sake of staying in the public eye, a woman who still has no executive experience whatsoever, but manages to support the worst abortion procedures ever.
The fact is that Sarah Palin is a total representative of feminism. The strongest, self-sufficient woman available in this country who can fight with the boys, get dirty, and make pointless liberal women cry over elk, polar bears, and wolves while they celebrate 40 million abortions.
While supporting 40 millions abortions, they cry over hardened criminals on death row, terrorists held at Guantanamo, and hairy uncivilized creatures in Alaska.
The difference in the “choice” is the types of life both sides are fighting for. Babies are innocent and maybe just one of those 40 million aborted could have had the cure for cancer, could have been the next Van Gogh or Martin Luther King.
Palin chooses the quality, while liberal women choose the garbage.
The same can be said for their sex lives. I guarantee you, Todd Palin will never need to use viagra. The Palins will never have to advertise for extras or swingers to come in to “spice up their love life.” They will never need the use of pornographic materials to make eachother’s toes curl. They won’t need toys operated by batteries to do the job.
There’s something about trust and fidelity that seems to trump those modern day quick solutions.
The bottom line: today’s women’s groups are not “pro-woman.” They are “pro-abortion.” Sarah Palin is a better person than any liberal woman could ever be, both inside and out.
They hate her because she’s gorgeous, because she’s appealing, because she’s pro-life, and because she knows how to hunt. Everything feminism originally stood for, she plowed right through.
And if you think this is the last time you will write anything about her, you’re sadly mistaken.
You can keep hating her if you want, or you can simply join her by becoming a better person.

Face it, Feminism has now devolved into infanticide and nothing else. The feminists proved that by their own words and actions.
*wild applause*
The fact is that Sarah Palin is a total representative of feminism.
That’s why they hate her. She doesn’t think she can have it all – she thinks she can work for the parts she thinks are worth it. And she does work for it, and she accomplishes it on her merits rather than because someone gave her extra chances for being a girl.
Plus, her husband is oodles of hawt (although not as hawt as mine, but I may be biased) and not a total whiny wuss like most of the liberal men I’ve met.
airforcewife,
Please cut those liberal men a little bit of slack. What do you think your husband would have turned out like if he’d been raised in the man-bashing, gender-neutered liberal household those liberal men were probably raised in.
“Plus, her husband is oodles of hawt”
Airforce – girlfriend, I second that! (LMAO!)
“Please cut those liberal men a little bit of slack.”
jonolan, you got a good heart.
There are two types of feminism.
Feminism is all about giving people (not women only) choices. I have no desire to be a police officer. But I appreciate having that choice in life. I enrolled in college and graduated. I liked that choice too. Feminism is all about having the freedom to make choices and making them for the right reasons.
Liberal Feminism is all about giving women (you see men already have it all, wink) choices they agree with. You are not allowed to disagree with the agenda.
“As her political blunders added up, she revealed her complete unpreparedness for politics at a national level and became Sen. John McCain’s greatest liability in his pursuit of the presidency. ”
I guess the writer of this piece was asleep during October. The stock market crash hurt John McCain more than anything else. I was hoping it was not a fatal blow. But, I think it was.
John in CA,
I also loved her interview with Wolf Blitzer (both parts are available on youtube) where she (as she did in the VP debate) addressed personal responsibility among those living on Main Street.
Those buying $300K homes when they could only afford a $100K home.
Those running up high-interest credit cards because they enjoy living beyond their means.
I love that honesty. Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and even John McCain failed to ever mention any of this during the campaign because they wanted those same failed Americans to feel like victims for the sheer purposes of winning votes.
Palin has such integrity that she isn’t going to do us any favors by lying to us.
Bottom line: if we expect Wall Street and Washington to shape up, it has to start with us as the Americans that are electing them.
“Bottom line: if we expect Wall Street and Washington to shape up, it has to start with us as the Americans that are electing them.”
I almost 100 percent agree. I have no sympathy for any bank that gives someone with $25,000 of annual income a credit limit that exceeds that income. Banks that do that are asking for trouble.
The same goes for mortgage lending. A bank that sells a $300K house to someone who can’t afford it shares some blame when that doesn’t work out. The bank like the home buyer were both betting on an endlessly rising housing market. Banks however are not Bookies. Bookies know who to lay off bets to eliminate their risk.
jonolan, you crack me up!
And I hate to say it, but I’m thinking that Sarah Palin’s honesty might not help her as much as it should. People have begun to think they are OWED that 3o0K house right out of school rather than as something to work towards.
Wall Street doesn’t want to admit fault, nor does Main Street.
Bravo!
I’m especially optimistic for Sarah Palin now that she doesn’t have that old guy slowing her down. People say it was the other way around (that Palin caused McCain to lose). How ridiculous!
Airforce, I agree.
Unfortunately, pretending otherwise though will only worsen the situation……but Obama will be sure to do it, that’s for sure.
Sad thing is, we’ll have to see many people suffer before this logical fact will start to hit home with those waiting for their annual welfare check from Obama.
“I guess the writer of this piece was asleep during October. The stock market crash hurt John McCain more than anything else. I was hoping it was not a fatal blow. But, I think it was.”
Wrong. The polls began to go in Obama’s favor after immediately after the disasterous Couric interview and BEFORE the stock market crisis.
But I just got that from FOX NEWS, you know how liberal they are ! lol
Pro-life and knows how to hunt… hmm. I’m just gonna let Republicans rattle their brains out to find out what’s so funny about that lol
Let me guess, now you’re gonna start whining about the difference between “INNOCENT BABIES AND ANIMALS!!!” “Pro-life” cannot be pro-death at the same time. Either change your positions or change your rhetoric. Dems don’t talk about being “pro-life” because they know they would be selective about their rhetoric, Republicans don’t have the same courtesy.
“Hairy and uncivilized?” HUH? If that’s the criteria for not being worth living than can I shoot Sean Hannity from a helicopter? LMFAO I’m terrible!
Tom,
Moderates never win elections – they never have and they never will.
Sarah Palin brought in the highest rate of white women. Sarah Palin drew the record numbers at the rallies. Her speech at the RNC got more viewers than Obama’s did. Her VP debate got more viewers than any other in history.
Americans like conservatives, not the phony ones like John McCain.
As I said, all objective evidence proves how liberal women feel about successful women who don’t have to live on anti-depressants prescribed to them by their high-society shrinks.
They don’t like them.
Finally, everybody knows that Couric’s questions were not what Americans wanted. Asking for a book-report on Supreme Court cases is what one does when they are trying to get a degree in Constitutional Law. Asking Palin on the issues would have been much more effective. The issues are what we vote on, and Palin never once danced around those.
Yes, Tom it’s about selecting the “quality” that life has to offer. Not elf, moose, criminals, or terrorists.
The last time I checked, Hannity was pretty clean-shaven. You wanna talk hairy? Take a look at Hillary’s leg stupple.
Is it any wonder the pant-suit industry had a good year?
By the way, anyone else find it funny when liberals like Tom cite Fox News?
You’d almost think they were admitting it was credible or something!
Great post. I’ve nothing intelligent to add. My brain stopped when I read this:
“I guarantee you, Todd Palin will never need to use viagra. ”
Well, duh!
XD
What is that line about a dead man, in The Rolling Stones’ ‘Start Me Up’?
Priceless!
LOL, yeah Anonymous I’m sure Sarah’s beauty can wake a dead man.
But, as a gay man, I have to say – Todd’s “hawt” (thanks AFW) presence could make a dead woman (or gay man), well, you know.
Okay, no more X-rated talk, this is a family blog!
Actually on that very entertaining note, there is a deeper point.
Todd and Sarah are truly in love and devoted to one another. Unlike Bill and Hillary have proven not to be.
Love, respect, and committment combined with a deeper respect for all human life and accepting the obligations that come with it all is all folks really need to have great sex.
I think after four years of the most hard-left liberal president the Democrats could muster, we’re going to be begging Palin to save us. Who wouldn’t want her, either? Not only is she a hottie, Tom, I think it’s fan-damn-tastic that she can hunt. And I have to ask you, if you think hunting and eating animals is so bad, then why are humans build with the equipment–deep-rooted teeth and digestive tract–to digest MEAT? ‘Course, then again, I believe God created us and that it was no mistake that He gave us said equipment.
Liberal women hate Palin because they’re scared to death of her. They’re afraid she might redefine the image of a woman and it won’t look like them anymore. I have news for ‘em: Palin has already done that. And I, for one, could not be happier!
Bravo, Steve.
melmaguire ,
I have to disagree with you. Gov. Palin didn’t redefine the image of a woman; she just refused to accept the Liberal’s redefinition of the image of a woman. By doing so and achieving all that she has already achieved, she showed the inherent flaws in those liberals’ (mis)definition. That’s why they hate her.
And that’s why I adore her, jonolan and mel.
I don’t have to wear pantsuits to be successful, and I don’t have to pretend I’m not a woman. My husband can be oodles of masculine and hawt (glad you like that one, Steve) and that doesn’t diminish my accomplishments – or me – at all.
Sarah Palin personifies those things for me.
Not only that, but I’m HAPPY this way. And so, it is obvious, is she. Maybe there’s something to it…
AFW you are right.
See, technically you are supposed to be having lunch with your girlfriends agonizing over one-night-stands and discussing which toys work better. You should be earning a whopping salary penning a sexcapade journal and your best friend should be a man-eating public-relations CEO. (And that’s only if you’re single!)
If you’re married, you’re supposed to have a small handful of girlfriends, you’re supposed to sleep with eachothers’ husbands, you’re supposed to have younger lawn boys running in and out of your bedroom while your husband’s away and make this an entertaining conversation piece over lunch before you hop back into your minivan to pick up the kiddies from daycare or school.
This is how far our pop culture has gone. Then when you have the stars of those shows slamming Palin or women like yourself, then the MSM sort of leads people to believe what creates happiness and what creates restraint.
You know it’s a sad and empty life and so do I. But apparently, we seem to swing the way of TV ratings these days.
By the way, AFW (or anyone else out there) I never did get the jist of the show “Army Wives.”
Has anyone else? And how accurate is its portrayal?
“By doing so and achieving all that she has already achieved, she showed the inherent flaws in those liberals’ (mis)definition. That’s why they hate her.”
Wow, and to think I thought all this time it was because she became Mayor of Wasilla, Governor of Alaska and VP nominee. While at the same time these Sarah haters couldn’t even get elected Chair of the Refreshment Committee for the local PTA.
“Liberal women hate Palin because they’re scared to death of her. ”
There might be another piece to this. Please don’t call me a sexist pig.
I think too many women have been taught be jealous of any woman who is successful. If Hillary gained the Presidential slot and win, I bet more than a few women would slam her hard for something.
Guys don’t seem to do that as often to other guys or they do it in quiet ways. Just my experience.
John in CA – Women are our own worst enemy, and you just described why. It’s sad, really.
And Steve, in its prior incarnation I loved Army Wives ( I’m totally not a soap opera type of person usually) because even though the way everything was squeezed together was not realistic and it was totally over dramatized, they were portraying things I’d seen and lived myself.
After they fired Katherine Fugate, it went downhill. Now it’s Desperate Housewives Who Just Happen to Live on a Fake Army Base. I haven’t watched in months.
And one final thought in this comment – the saddest part about Hollywood’s portrayal of the “ideal” life is the emphasis on sex. It’s not even GOOD sex. The best sex is with someone who knows your combination (so to speak) – I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the most sexually fulfilled people I know are married (either straight or gay).
A young pool boy may be nice to look at, but they have a LOT to learn.
“The best sex is with someone who knows your combination (so to speak)”
Spoken well and I totally agree.
“A young pool boy may be nice to look at, but they have a LOT to learn.”
Yep. When I was in college there was this one guy who was to die for. He was pretty to look at, fun to hold, but in bed he was awful, awful, awful. I figured if he hadn’t learned it at age 27 then he would never learn.
Hi – nice blog you have. Very interesting thread.
I’m conservative/straight /married,etc. These labels are just too much sometimes. Anyway, I think lib women hate her mainly because they see she has it all. They can’t stand it – it makes them see they were deluded by feminism. Personally, I like her b/c she has not an ounce of socialism in her. When I listened to her speak I never cringed at the hidden socialistic agenda, you know the way politicians try to mask it. Can I just add- that pic you have at the top of Sarah sitting on the bear, well I just noticed that there is a crab (is that a crab?) on the table too. I mean, I just love it, it’s so totally different !
Carpe:
“Anyway, I think lib women hate her mainly because they see she has it all. They can’t stand it – it makes them see they were deluded by feminism.”
That nails it! And thank you so much for visiting, come back often!
Why do so many liberals hate Bush (you have been around for the last 8 years, right?), why do so many liberals hate Cheney, McCain?
Why do so many conservatives hate Obama? Many of you didn’t like McCain either. Most of you were hoping that he’d croak so Palin would take over.
Can’t you guys just accept that fact that people’s views about candidates have more to do with their BELIEFS and the ECONOMY than a candidate’s personal achievements or personal life? Were you really expecting liberals like me to be a traitor to our own values and convert to Team Palin just because she has nice legs and was a governor?
This jealousy card has been over-used. What do you say for the men who voted for Obama? I mean, seriously people, you’re scraping a bottomless barrel here….
Oh, because I had gotten so tired of all the jealousy accusations geared at my party, I wrote this post in defense.
What is “having it all”, anyway? Can’t we say that about a lot of people in Hollywood that most of you people LOATHE with passion?
“Having it all” is someone who has it without succumbing to the idiocy of liberalism.
It also does not allow liberalism to redefine what it is to be a feminist.
Basically everything Sarah Palin does, and everything you hate her for.
Ahh, guess we’re back to the wardrobe again.
I don’t care what people wear, but what is “succumbing to the idiocy liberalism”?
If you are open to alternative views on this issue, please see my new post. I just directly responded to you here.
I am genuinely trying to get into your minds.
I really want to find out how I am jealous of Sarah. So, please pardon my curiosity.
Thanks.
Having it all:
Okay, personal success through good relationships with a long list of good friends who share a long line of mutual admiration.
Marital success, she married one man and the two managed to remain truly in love without the need for swapping.
Parental success, giving birth to five gorgeous and decent kids under one wedlock.
Academic success as a college graduate.
Professional success as a newscaster, a member of the city council, a mayor, a leader of the Alaksan Energy Committee, a governor….and excelling at all of those positions.
She has an enriched life of spirituality through church, a firm belief in God, morals, decent behavior and stands for those issues with a confident and unapologetic firmness.
She has an enriched life of hobbies through hunting, charity, community work, etc.
She’s absolutely gorgeous and has maintained a healthy body, a nice figure, etc.
Bottom line: Sarah Palin, a religious and conservative woman, has shown us that by staying true to decent moral values and sticking with your family through good tims and bad, has made the entire most out of every aspect of life imaginable.
She did it because she’s the true real deal. A real woman of accomplishment, a real feminist.
Hope that explains it.
By the way, as you read through my definition of “all”, you can react two ways:
Your reaction will either prove my entire point of this post right, or it will prove it wrong.
I’ll allow the rest of the female readers here be the judge of it.
“Why do so many liberals hate Bush (you have been around for the last 8 years, right?), why do so many liberals hate Cheney, McCain?”
By the way, I would like to thank you for reminding us how important it is to unify will our fellow Americans to stand behind our President.
That has always been your position, right?
Thanks for responding. I have some questions.
1) How is it humanly possible for someone to hate another for the choices that they make? Most of these successes you speak of are simply choices that ANYONE can make.
And based on what you’ve written, that makes me quite a success myself if you think that I have practised my choices and am living life the way I want to. I am maybe not the happiest person in the whole world, but I am content with my life. And I wouldn’t trade places with anyone.
2) You mentioned that liberal women are oppressed. How is that?
3) Why did American men criticize Palin?
4) Why did liberal men and woman hate Bush if simply dissent is equated to jealousy?
5) With Bush’s approval rating being at a historical low of 23%, what did you think was going to happen this election?
6) If you are as old as I am, you’ll know that in harsh economic times, people are more compelled to vote Democrat.
7) Other than what negativity you have heard surrounding Obama, if you know his past – seeing where he came from and where he is now is more of a jump compared to Palin by a long shot. He is a successful man.
Do you think it’s just that conservatism hates to think that a black man can be accomplished?
8) The majority of liberals are Jews. 78% of Jews voted for Obama over Palin. If you know anything about American Jews, they are the richest, best looking, most successful, law abiding and decent people in America. Do you think that you’re just projecting and just jealous of American Jews and accomplished blacks?
9) It is the progressives that have fought for equal rights for women. Why are you criticizing them now?
10) Since when are Republicans concerned (all of the sudden, mind you) about Feminism and Sexism?
11) In record history, there has never been more hype and fanaticism over a VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. Palin is your, “The One” – she is your “The Messiah”.
12) Here’s the true acid test. I’d love to see in a future election a Republican male against a HOT Liberal female. Then, we shall see who the true feminists are.
13) If gay men love female divas (it’s the cliché), why do you people sleep with men? We all know that you people love Madonna (me too!), Barbara Streisand, and Sarah Palin.
My position? Are you talking about my political belief system? I have some conservative beliefs and some liberal ones. I get heat from both sides, actually.
But I don’t really understand your question.
Sorry. Question #8 is not supposed to be a smiley. WordPress does that when you put the #8 near a parentheses.
