Sarah Palin Is One Tough Mother
The American Thinker ^ | February 17, 2010 | Robin of Berkeley

Posted on 02/17/2010 3:45:53 AM PST by Scanian

Sarah Palin is dismissed by both the Left and the Right as a lightweight. She's supposedly wet behind the ears because she's rarely traveled abroad or served as a privileged United States senator, which consists mostly of ordering lackeys around. Of course, Palin is way too pretty (and a non-Ivy-Leaguer besides) to have an I.Q. anywhere near Obama's.

It's astonishing what these critics continually ignore: that Palin is a mom -- not once, but five times over. How can this inconvenient truth be so easily dismissed? Five children -- count them -- including a special-needs boy with Down Syndrome.

Must be why politically motivated women that have spurned raising families for political ascension hate her so much.

I have silly comment. Isn’t she a great lady who fights back? I have never done this but I will DVR the next episode of the show and boycott the advertisers. In 1986 when France rejected our request to overfly when we hit Libya, I threw away my fancy French bike and did not buy anything from them until Sarkozy.

Palin comes out of nowhere (pitting herself against the machine) and accomplishes what she sets out to do becoming mayor and then governor of the state by the force of nothing more than her intelligence and her personality.

She has since gone on to, in a national campaign, compel the interest and affection of tens of millions of Americans

So, sure, write her off as a lightweight.

Yeah ... all with the same father, to whom she's still married.

I wonder if this is what offends some folks ...

That’s what the left dreads most - a self-made American.

She gives every indication of not being a person who can be bought, which is a scary thing to libs.

Absolutely right, the hate grows because she is a true representative of the heart and core of America.

The hate grows like a runaway nuclear reactor because the more they hate her the stronger the mass of America connects to her.

They cannot just stop and say sorry, because then they will connect to her beliefs and then everything that they have held in control then becomes a lie and charade.

Their only course is to continuously build layers and layers of more hate, lies and rumors, I’m surprised they haven’t started to demand she have a psychological examination. Liberals fear non-socialized grouping, those that are ahead of the pack so to speak must be told to slow down, Sarah Palin is a leader obviously.

An aside- in tenth grade my biology teacher was talking about the brain. The membrane protecting the organ is called the Dura Mater, which is Latin for Tough Mother. We got a kick out of that.

And one more thing: Mothers will move heaven and earth to protect and nurture their children. Palin embodies this warrior spirit towards not only her own kids, but all the children in this country -- and the grownups, too.

Can anyone in his mind say the same thing about Obama?

Could this country be in more capable hands than the strong and loving ones of Sarah Palin?

I think so too.

If George Washington is the Father of Our Country,
Sarah Palin will become the Mother of Our Country.

She embodies the perfect qualities and stamina.
America is about to be reborn.
