WHATEVER HAPPENED TO WOMEN'S LIB?


Sarah Palin is a strong, accomplished, independent woman, one who was not afraid to take on the good ol' boys firmly ensconced in the Alaskan state government. She doesn't believe in being limited by the status quo. She has an innovative approach to government and doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word 'can't'.

She sounds like the quintessential independent woman, doesn't she, a liberal Democrat's dream-come-true? So why did the Democrat Party and their accomplices in the media set about to destroy her the moment they recovered from the announcement of her nomination?

Incredibly, their first criticism of Palin was that she has no business running for public office because she has five children! How, they asked, would she possibly give her children the attention they deserve if she were engaged in a national political campaign?

Come again?? Isn't the Democrat Party the party of freedom, choice, tolerance and women's lib? Haven't they for decades urged women to burn their bras, send their kids to daycare and enter the workforce? So why this nearly psychotic opposition to Sarah Palin's candidacy?

Then they criticized her for choosing to give birth to a Down's Syndrome child, instead of murdering it in the womb.

But. . . doesn't the Democrat Party contend that a woman should have a right to choose whether or not she will carry a pregnancy to term? Oops, I forgot. They only believe in 'choice' if a woman chooses abortion, not if she chooses life. A rather small-minded view, wouldn't you say?

Next, liberals contended that Governor Palin has no foreign policy experience. Okay, I'll concede that one. But she does have executive experience — which is more than anyone can say of either Obama or Biden, neither of whom have foreign policy or executive experience.

What I notice most about all the furious daggers the left has been aiming at Sarah Palin is that none of them contains any substance. Their goal is to destroy the woman personally. They have no interest in discussing anything of substance with her.

Have you, like me, been appalled at the ferocity of the personal attacks against Palin? Have you wondered why both the Democrats and the press reacted in such an extreme way?

My conclusion is that they consider Sarah Palin a threat. Yes, you heard me correctly. Sarah Palin is the embodiment of a so-called 'liberated' woman, yet she is happily married, the mother of five, a conservative and, worst of all, a Christian with a firm moral foundation — all anathema to the left.

Up to now, liberals wanted us to believe a woman could only be liberated if she divorced her husband and aborted her children. Sarah Palin has proved them wrong, and they're so furious they can barely see straight.

Way to go, Sarah!
