The Wilding of Sarah Palin

When I was in college, I read a book that changed my life. It was Susan Brownmiller's tome, Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape, which explained rape as an act of power, not just lust. What I found particularly chilling was the chapter on war -- how rape is used to terrorize a population and destroy the enemy's spirit.

While edifying, the book magnified the vulnerability I already felt as a female. Fear of rape became a constant dread, and I sought a solution that would help shield me from danger.

The answer: seek safe harbor within the Democratic Party. I even became an activist for feminist causes, including violence against women. Liberalism would protect me from the big bad conservatives who wished me harm.

> The answer: seek safe harbor within the Democratic Party.

The best way to prevent rape is to carry an effective, reliable, concealed, and readily available sidearm.

As for the DemonRAT party, rape is one of their specialties.

The DemonRAT party specializes in advancing totalitarian statism by passing laws against things that they practice in the open. They exempt themselves from their own laws by cliaming that their promotion of “social justice” excuses them from being held to any standard of conduct.

The poster boy for this groupthink is Ted Kennedy.

From the author:

It was Susan Brownmiller's tome, Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape, which explained rape as an act of power, not just lust.

Rape is a vile, wicked crime. It robs someone of humanity. Many feminists, since that book, have parroted the line that rape is about violence, not lust.

It is partly a crime of power and violence, but it is also primarily a crime of lust in most cases, and I have never understood why feminists refuse to recognize this.

Is prostitution then, a crime of lust, or power?

Get into that debate, and some feminists will twist themselves into pretzels.

A great read that cuts open how the Democrats control female voters.

I understand your point but it seems as though the rapes you read about in the news involve violence against the woman, including death. That is more than lust. That is a lot of hatred and a type of punishment directed toward women.

[SonOfDarkSkies]

The Democrats are a weak, soft people who preach a weakness and softness toward our enemies.

Rule #1: Never trust a weak person! He/she has betrayed himself and he will surely betray you.

Finally, someone who has realized she doesn’t need to feel threatened by people with a moral compass. A sense of right and wrong has a protecting effect.

We can only hope that a lot more liberals (women) read what the author has to say and take a good look at what they’ve bought in to.

What finally woke me up were the utterances of bitch, witch, and monster toward Hillary Clinton and her supporters early last year.

They say a broken clock is right twice every twenty four hours. They also say even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while.

But the biggest shock of all has been realizing that the Democratic Party is hardly an oasis for women. Now that it has been infiltrated by the hard Left, it's a dangerous place for women, children, or other living things.

While I enjoy her support of Sarah Palin, this is the most erudite collection of words in this piece.

Ask Juanita Broaddrick about rape and the Democrats.

Given the level of hate coming from the left for Sarah Palin, I cannot help but believe that there will be attempts on her life.

I'm praying for your protection, Sarah.

[MortMan]

The author has had an awakening.

Perhaps she can further awaken to see that many of the causes she supports are detrimental to her well being as a person and as a woman.

[bmwcyle]

I just wish the awakening would not take so long.

The Left has declared war on Palin because she threatens their existence. Democrats need women dependent and scared so that women, like blacks, will vote for liberals.

Here's the money quote from this piece... I'm thinking of changing my tagline.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Love the ending, it gave me a great idea for a bumper sticker. “You Voted for Hope and Change, you got the Cauldron of Hate”. Eeeeeww.

[Yardstick]

The writer totally gets it. The left’s sexualizing of Palin in order to take her down is disgusting. It is also outrageously hypocritical, but that’s the left for you. And of course they do a similar thing to blacks — Clarence Thomas for example — who are perceived to be disloyal to the liberal cause. When a member of a protected subgroup strays from the liberal plantation, the left hunts them down mercilessly.

[bmwcyle]

There is one more factor. That is the jealousy that women have for each other. Not only do women have to recognize liberals using them but they also have to admit their competitive nature that exists between them. Sarah is in the spot light and it is killing all these celebratory women and their egos.
