That's about it.

Spot on!

Evan comes to the truth of this essay. In many posts I've put it in different ways always coming to the same conclusion:

She is the living breathing embodiment of all things good in the conservative tradition. Her baby is a living reproach to the sophistry of a man who cannot discuss when life begins in the context of abortion and who listens to testimony by a nurse describing how she held a dying post abortion baby in her arms without a single syllable apparently penetrating to his soul. When his sordid history in this affair was investigated, he lied.

................

The Palin selection means that the McCain ticket screams integrity at the voter. The issue is no longer experience but character. I say again: Sarah Palin is not selected because of her experience or in spite of the lies that her experience is insufficient, rather she was selected for what her experience reveals about her character.

..............................

The Billy Budd effect. If you recall your Melville, you will know that Billy Budd was a figure of good whose very presence antagonized the first mate who persecuted Billy Budd unmercifully. The mate was driven to do this unconsciously because the mate was a figure of evil. The mate had his demons. So it is with the left in America today, they are driven to a visceral hatred of Sarah Palin because she is the 21st century figure of Billy Budd. Sarah Palin committed an unforgivable affront, she knowingly carried a Mongoloid to term. This cannot be forgiven. This is the ultimate reproach to the entire belief system of the left. Sarah Palin need not even open her mouth and she is hated with a cold and unremitting fury.

This is why I said that the left hates Sarah Palin not for what she says or how she appears on television but for who she is. The left must react as evil always reacts in the presence of good. Like the second mate, they must persecute Sarah Palin and they do not even know why.

The left hates, it’s what they do. My bigger problem is with the establishment GOPers who are their enablers. They are more than content to let the lefts’ hatred grow. When it appears to them that the hatred is subsiding a bit, here comes the GOP pretenders to throw a bit of fuel on the fire. Of course, they do it with a bit of “concern” for Palin but they secretly love the piling on by the left.

Bump!

[timetostand]

It’s not the just the left who hate Palin The
So called “elite” RINO talkers fear her because she can
expose their BS. All of them especially hate anyone who
believe in God and do not worship theirs - Liberal Progressive Government.

And Sarah Palin ran a small business. Democrats don’t run businesses. In fact, Democrats don’t do anything. If you eliminated from the voting roll everyone who did nothing other than talk – the academic, the newscaster, the actor, the politician – and those who game the system, collecting welfare and years of unemployment benefits and “workman’s compensation” and food stamps, how many people would be left voting Democrat?

Untrue. Plenty of business owners are Democrat though under Obunghole they are changing to Republican...hopefully

[chemicalman]

I get the same replys, and not only from leftists

[Berlin_Freeper]

“Oh I hate her.” = I am a sour loser with nothing in life because I failed to apply myself to anything meaningful in life so I need Big Government to provide for my miserable existence.

The author says Trig is her fourth child. Track, Bristol, Willow, and Piper make four plus Trig makes five.
Good article though.

Since the Tucson shooting, it has become apparent that the Left is no longer merely a rag-tag crowd of socialists and Marxists. Under Obama's tutelage and guidance, it has coalesced into a single organism that acts and speaks as a single unit, responding at will to external stimuli.

This should come as no real surprise since Obama has incubated and nurtured this cult--a narcissistic cult to be precise--since his campaign began. This was the goal of all his public preening, the Berlin speech, the Pergamon Altar setting in Denver, and the messianic iconography.

And now this group has finally taken on a life of its own. It members have joined the collective...they have given their minds and consciences over to Obama and the group. They are now psychologically dependent on Obama and the group. And they now have a secure sense of belonging, their individual insecurities and frailties and failures replaced with a sense of power and self-adoration. They are Obama!

And like Obama--narcissist that he is--they attack any and all threats to the group and its self-image. It matters not whether their actions/attacks are rational or moral or accurate...the collective has no mind, the collective has no conscience.

Since Sarah is one of the public faces of reality to this Cult of Obama, she is an existential threat to the group and must be destroyed. To the group, all criticism of the group and its leader, all non-group opinions and ideas, all threats must be neutralized.

Reader’s Digest Version: She’s conservative & hot...

[flowerplough]

Why the Left Hates Sarah Palin: Some of the same reasons many of the same people similarly hate George W. Bush, the inference of a possibly-unearned boost to a position of national prominence and a frequent-enough display of an inner (over?)confident self-assurance that, to many, seems to border quite closely on smugness?

[sayuncledave]

It’s pretty close to it. Sarah was the reason my wife and I voted R in ‘08. It certainly wasn’t McCain. Character matters. She has it. He didn’t/doesn’t, any more than the current Pres. I’d say that the fact that she doesn’t, in her life, follow or fill any of the left’s precepts not only explains a lot of the left’s hatred, but likewise elevates the quality of service she’s likely to give. An honorable person, not a self-serving one. And, to the left’s utter dismay, a moral one.

[iopscusa]

I 2nd you regarding ‘Sarah was the reason my wife and I voted R in ‘08. It certainly wasn’t McCain. Character matters!’
My wife & I stood in line for 2 hours to vote for SARAH P, NOT McCAIN! BTW, where was McCain’s defense of the defamation of SP?

Socialism is nothing but criticism and second guessing of those who actually do things. 

Theodore Roosevelt's famous speech in Paris:

There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement. A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life's realities - all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. They mark the men unfit to bear their part painfully in the stern strife of living, who seek, in the affection of contempt for the achievements of others, to hide from others and from themselves in their own weakness. The rôle is easy; there is none easier, save only the rôle of the man who sneers alike at both criticism and performance.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Militant, unkempt, slovenly feminazis hate attractive women (who happen to be conservative) because of their POWER over men that they DON’T have.

The RINO wing of what used to be our party appreciates the reasoning of one passage in scripture far more than they appreciate integrity and the whole message of the Bible: "it is expedient for us, that one should die for the people, and that the whole nation (party) perish not".
