Sarah Palin is as popular as Diana in the hearts of the American public
DailyMail UK ^ | September 20, 2008 | Staff

Feminists like to claim that if women ruled the world, there would be no more wars.

Sarah Palin, the woman poised to become the most powerful female politician in the free world, disproves that once and for all.

The gun-toting, Iraq war-supporting Governor of Alaska may decide the next U.S. presidential election. Here is a politician who won't rule out war with Russia.

Here is a mother who waved her soldier son Track off to Iraq on September 11. And here is a campaigner who next week will man the barricades at a public protest against Iran's President Ahmadinejad.

If Palin becomes America's first woman Vice-President, one thing is for sure - there will not be an end to war.

Nor to the war between two cultures she has already unleashed in her own country.

The pro-life, devoutly Christian, happily married mother-of-five has emerged from the political margins to become the most intriguing and divisive woman in today's America.

She has enraged the Left in general and feminists in particular at every turn. What infuriates them most is her rapid rise to the national stage and her ability, like Ronald Reagan before her, to talk to the people in a language they understand with a fundamentalist message many of them want to hear.

It's all so damned reactionary. Heck, the man she admires most in the world is her husband.

There is something almost evangelical about her desire to give voice to the largely unheard folk of America; the ordinary, hard-working, God-fearing majority.

The liberal elite of the East and West coasts despise her, but middle Americans seem to have fallen for Palin as the figurehead of a new kind of politics.

We have now achieved near 100% amongst the wife and my friends ... They are all going to vote McCain ... Some were Democrats before Palin showed up.

What are you doing for the McCain-Pailn ticket. Get in their faces —— LOL.

He called for a “blessing on the elk and moose in Alaska who have been decimated by Sarah Barracuda” . . .

This idiot doesn't even realize that Palin supported aerial hunting of wolves to PROTECT the moose and caribou and elk who were being decimated by the wolves.

From the Article:

And while the East Coast intellectuals may sneer at her homespun ideology and lack of experience, these are the very credentials that are attracting an increasing number of middle Americans.

In Palin they see optimism; in Obama cynicism. In Palin they see pride in her country; in Obama an element of shame.

Very true!!

Feminists are ignorant of history if they think women leaders do not participate in wars. Queen Elisabeth I, Golda Meier, Margaret Thatcher, et. al. were just as willing to go to war as male leaders were.

Oh, that’s right. Maggie Thatcher, Indira Ghandi and Golda Meir weren’t REALLY women...

According to the feminists, they couldn't have really been women because, obviously, they weren't liberals. Just like conservative blacks aren't really black, conservative women aren't really women.

Don’t you know that with liberals, history starts the day they were born?

The Red Communists have taken off the gloves. Each and every unsuspecting American must realize that the Communist propaganda machine has been scheming for decades in our courts, media, public schools, and government for decades. Practically speaking, if we lose our guns, it may very well be over.

Lord have mercy on this country.

A good article. WHile this author cannot resist taking shots at Sarah and we conservatives, for the most part it was alright, unlike most of the pap that dribbles out of Brit media (almost as bad as our own).

I just wanted to point out she has been dis-invited to that protest...

Sarah is not an bulimic, philandering woman. No comparison to Diana at all.

In Palin they see optimism; in Obama cynicism. In Palin they see pride in her country; in Obama an element of shame.

It is heart versus head, instinct versus intellect; certainty versus hand-wringing; straight-forwardness versus sophistication.

Right on!
