City Journal publishes Theodore Dalrymple, among others. It’s conservative-leaning.

Sarah knows about hard work, she is a Christian, she loves her family, she does not believe in abortion, she is savvy, she is unafraid and will not back down to the good ole boys and their corrupt ways. she is for sensible conservative common sense, in life and in government. She loves Alaska and did a great job showcasing it in her TV series.
Today most things, legislation's, etc., are named some Orwellian name, no one knows what it means. They tend to shut people up by making words, incendiary, evil, not allowable, etc. This is getting wide spread and ugly now.
The left hates. They spread hate, they spout hate, and they wish death on people they dislike or disagree with, IE Rush Limbaugh, or Glenn Beck, or Sarah Palin, etc.,.

There is no honesty in the minds of the progressive liberals. They are out to win any way they can, and will lie, cheat, steal, and go berserk in order to win. Difficult to be in a contest with them as they play by no rules other that winning at any cost. Yet they scream and are shouting at every word said by their opponents, the most twisted, convoluted interpretations put on ordinary speech. Crazy as loons.

“Palin is what all the leftist - so-called feminists - fear, a real woman. That is what is behind the cat-calling and smears. She is what they cannot be, and they are jealous as hell, and just as nasty as can be.”

I have no problem with women getting the same pay when they are qualified and capable, however I don’t want women to immitate men, as Palin does. I don’t agree with gender blending.

“As for the leftist men (forget the pansies at MSNBC), they are jealous of her because they can’t have her. In other words, they have “penis envy” problems. They have both a “penis” and “envy” and they can’t do anything with either of them except squeal like a stuck pig.”

They don’t “want her”. They are not “jealous” of her. You do make an interesting point with your vulgar phrase, “penis envy”. This is the MANISH kind of “feminism” I object to. What use does a male have for someone like Sarah? She already does their role/ This is why Todd is a push over. Sarah wears the pants in the family. Is THIS really what you want? WOMEN wearing the pants and running the family?

“Sarah Palin, bringing home the bacon and moose chili, without musing a single hair.”

As a traditional person, I don’t want my wife, “bringing home the bacon”. I don’t mind her complementingthe income butI don’t want a WOMAN doing my FAMILY ROLE - being the main bread winner.

“You go, girl!”

Do youhave a chip on the shoulder when it comes to men?

Your shrill, vulgar language indicates to me that you LIKE radical feminism.

BTW, I wouldn’t have my daugher slice up fish for her 16th birthday. Sarah may think that’s grand but we don’t.

Why?

City Journal and Manhattan Institute are both conservative.

and Victor David Hanson

It is among the best we NYers have.

It’s a very interesting publication. When articles are posted on FR, I usually go poke through the archives at the source for a while!
