Current exemplars have now burned and trashed their most fundamental philosophy that women are as good as or better than the male of the species. They are, of course, so-called “feminists” who have finally come full circle in their beliefs and are back to where they started, if not even worse off. The impetus, the catalyst, for feminism’s devolution is one Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska and Republican nominee for the vice presidency of the United States.

Calling Palin a "reformer who will break-up the old-boy network, buck the system and get Washington back on our side," Mandell introduced Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee at an October 4th rally in Carson, California. “Hey, she’s gonna work on persuading John McCain on ANWR, I’m gonna work on persuading her on things of my own,” Mandel said of Palin....

Flummoxed and frantic, their shameful attacks on Palin and her family have revealed that liberal Democrats, the mainstream media, and those malicious hacks in the "progressive" blogosphere are willing to navigate the deepest, darkest sludge of slash-and-burn politics to see their man, Barack Obama, elected president.

It’s because they value abortion-on-demand over every other subject on earth. This “value” started in the late 1950s – before abortion became de rigueur – when the Food and Drug Administration approved the birth-control pill developed by Dr. John Rock and two collaborators. For the first time in human history, women had a measure of control over their fertility, which gave them a greater chance to pursue economic independence and escape bad marriages. But...

That is obvious from the anguish, indeed the fury, of feminist commentators. They are so intemperate in their criticism that they are incoherent.

Sarah Palin seems to have truly unhinged more than a few, eliciting a stream of vicious, often misogynist invective. On Salon.com last week, Cintra Wilson branded her a "Christian Stepford Wife" and a "Republican blow-up doll."

She is a national phenomenon, a virtual force of nature. My wife took an overnight trip to see Palin in Northern Virginia a few days ago. As Charles Krauthammer says here she has energized the Republican base just as Obama peaked and began his bumpy descent from Olympus. What is both fascinating and repellent is that her most hate-filled critics have been women. I have heard it said the women are more vicious than men, but, not being a woman I have never really seen the way women...

(Apparently, I'm not alone.) I wish I could say that I'd been conjuring witty, politically sophisticated nightmares in which she leads troops into Vancouver or kindergartners in the recitation of "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." But, alas, mine have been nonsensical, kiddie-style doozies in which she kidnaps my cats, or enjoys a meal with my girlfriends while I bang on the restaurant window.

Sarah Palin. They demeaned her family and accomplishments. Any insult that would diminish her qualifications for Vice President was fair game. Though Gov. Palin’s speech was flawlessly delivered and received, a great speech does not guarantee a winning campaign. However, it is significant that when the teleprompter failed, she didn’t miss a beat and came up with the unscripted “Read My Lipstick” line. This shows that our GOP...

The same feminists who keep saying we must have more women in politics suddenly changed their minds. We need more women--just not that kind of woman. How did we manage to get here?
