Why Liberals Hate and Fear Conservative Women

Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


"The broader question if Sarah Palin becomes vice president, will she be shortchanging her kids or will she be shortchanging the country?" -- NBC correspondent Amy Robach

"How dare they question whether Sarah Palin has enough time to spend with her children and be Vice-President. How dare they do that. When do they ever ask a man that question? When?" -- Rudy Giuliani

Since Sarah Palin exploded onto the national scene a week ago, the American Left, including Obama's press team AKA the mainstream media, has engaged in a bizarre orgy of sexism, misogyny, and grotesque attacks on her family. Let's see, we've heard accusations that Sarah Palin, while she was governor this year, actually faked a pregnancy to cover up for her seventeen-year-old daughter Bristol -- no, really, liberals pushed this story for days. Then after Palin revealed that Bristol is pregnant now and therefore couldn't have been pregnant earlier in the year, the mainstream press spent a week cruelly using a 17 year-old-girl as a political pawn to get at her mother.

Then there were the Left's claims that Palin had posed for nude pictures and their suggestion that her first son must have been born out of wedlock. Of course, we also can't forget the fake bikini shots.

Additionally, the Left has also focused on Palin's husband and brought up a drunk driving conviction he had 20 years ago (We have heard more about that from the MSM than the fact that Obama has done cocaine) and the Associated Press went so far as to say that Palin's family are valid targets because they're in photo-ops.

All this is on top of the fact that we've been treated to a full week of claims that a woman who is more qualified to be President than Barack Obama is too inexperienced to be John McCain's Vice-President and worse yet, we've heard loud mouths opining that Sarah Palin can't both run for Vice-President and be a good mother.

On top of all that, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of conservatives seemed to be absolutely thrilled with the selection of Sarah Palin, liberals spent much of the week running "when did you stop beating your wife stories" speculating about whether Palin had been vetted or whether McCain would drop her from the ticket.

That's quite a change from the near worshipful coverage Barack Obama has gotten from the media for being the first black man to head the Democratic ticket or even the fawning reportage that Nancy Pelosi received when she became the first female Speaker of the House, isn't it?

But, a conservative woman makes history and next thing you know, her pregnant 17 year-old-daughter is a front page target only a short time after the very same media spent weeks blacking out stories about John Edwards having a love child behind the back of his cancer-stricken wife.

Is the sort of treatment Palin has received a surprise? Regrettably, not to anyone who has been paying attention to how liberals attack women on the Right. Let me tell you what happens if you are a conservative woman who catches the attention of the American Left. Continued...

Palin Saves GOP
With the low approval rating of Pres Bush and the high approval rating for Sen Obama it appeared that the the Dems would achieve a blowout victory. Then Obama made a crutial mistake by not taking Sen Clinton as VP. This would have been an unbeatable combo. Sen Biden is comical because of the politically incorrect things that he says, but he was tied for fourth place in the primaries.

Obviously this is the year for "Hope & Change", so two old white guys were not going to win the Whitehouse. But then Sen McCain made a brilliant tatical move and picked a girl for a running mate. Now history will be changed no matter who we choose.

Granted this only infuriates the ultra-feminists, but the pratical women of this country connect with Gov Palin despite what the media is trying to do to her.

Abortion vs Death Penality
I know that this is stretching the Sarah Palin connection but the media always tags her with Pro Life, so here it goes.

I have never understood why Libs are Pro Choice. They never want a convicted murder/rapists/terrorists to recieve the death penalty. They want every animal on the planet to live out it's natural life without human interference. They believe that plants and even air have rights. They would sue a doctor for millions of dollars if he/she negligently aborted their fetus. But when a young girl wants to undergo life threatening, volentary surgery, with the intention of terminating an innocent human life, that is a perfectly normal and acceptable behavior?

I don't get it.
