Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.
“They hate the fact that she has five kids, they hate the fact that she named her kids Trig and Track and Willow and Piper. Sophisticated people don’t call their kids Trig and Track”
no that’s not really it. Their problem is that these are cool names and conservatives are not supposed to give cool names to their kids. They should be named “Ezekiel” and “Gertrude.” People like Sarah are ‘supposed’ to look like the church lady and her husband is ‘supposed’ to look like Boss Hogg from the Dukes of Hazzard.
Please add me to the Sarah ping.
There is a site I will never re-visit. What idiot authored their pages?
You can see PDS at work on a daily basis, whether it’s in the MSM, individual blogs, or those adding their stupid, and often vile comments to items about Palin. PDS has now lasted over 6 months, which is the criteria used by the American Psychiatric Association to determine if something is a real mental illness or just something that resolves itself after a short time.
One does not have to be a frequenter of media newsrooms to know that the left.values intelligence over decency. I think the basic "why" of this phenomenon is perhaps suggested in this previous post:
The real fundamental difference between liberals and conservatives is the absence of or the belief in God. Liberals essentially reject God because they are committed to playing God. All of the rest of the belief structure, all the posturing of concern and commitment to society, all of the convolution of the language, all of the rejection of a rational discrimination, is nothing but a rationalization allowing the liberal to play God. This is the oldest and gravest sin known to the Judeo-Christian tradition. All of the hate, intolerance, and vilification of Christianity (read Sarah Palin) is a visceral reaction to the frustration they encounter from conservatives as they play God. Ann Coulter got it right in the tagline to one of her books: "they would be God." The ultimate example of playing God is the issue of "choice." Fundamental to the Judeo-Christian heritage is respect for human life because it is a creation of God. Abortion, even more than slavery, is the ultimate in playing God, one declares his transcendence over God's creation and in the stroke of a knife becomes God himself.
"Decency" is fundamentally a moral value. In other words decency, relative to indecency, is good. It is a moral good and it is morally better than indecency. This in turn implies that there is a standard for judging relative decency which standard pre-exists the entrance of of the liberal onto the scene and it is a pre-existing standard which is immutable. If one is out to play God, one must reject such standards-as atheists energetically reject the 10 Commandments-because it restricts the God players ability to play God.
So the liberal substitutes "intelligence" for decency because he subconsciously believes that he is God, and, not surprisingly he unconsciously or even consciously believes that he is smarter than everybody else and that his solutions to problems that he perceives are better than anyone else's.
The liberal is a little bit like Mae West who, when a female acquaintance expressed admiration over a diamond ring on May's finger saying, "goodness what a beautiful ring," replied, "goodness had nothing to do with it."
Sarah is certainly intelligent enough and while this stuff bores most normal, healthy, emotionally balanced people (a/k/a Conservatives) she has to become something of a "wonk" to get through a campaign. She can hire all the consultants she needs to become the most informed person on the planet--a feminine Hillary.
She must beat them at their own game . . . and they will not be expecting her to have a handle on the "issues" and they will have to completely retool their attack plans. It'll will send their heads spinning.
I first heard about Governor Palin when researching ANWR. Her work in Alaska - working on pipeline, fighting corruption, returning tax money to citizens - caught my eye. Never in a million years would I have thought she would be nominated VP.
At the time I did not know what she looked like. The fact that she is attractive inside and out is a bonus. But on the issues that really count: sound energy policy, taxes, corruption, etc she is heads and shoulders above the other looneys with their cap and trade nonsense that will destroy our already fragile economy.
You may not like Palin for her looks or her “down home” qualities. I think both are positives. But at least look at where she stands on the issues and stop letting the mainstream media dictate your opinion. Use your brain for once. And by all means ignore all these astroturfers working on sites like this to destroy her.
