Sarah Palin will soon prove to America why John McCain believes she could be President should something happen to him.   The ferocity of the leftist attack is more than enough to shake the foundation of most strong people let alone a “hockey mom” from small town USA.   But most strong people in America have not done what Governor Palin has.

Governor Palin represents everything the left hates: morality, dedication, independence, principles, and honesty.    The attack will come first from women on the left who have long proclaimed themselves the spokespeople for American females, the majority of which do not share their penchant for nastiness.   Sit back and get ready to watch the political cat fight of the century!

It’s amazing how threatened these liberal women are of Sarah Palin.   The intolerance shown a fellow female pioneer positioned to break the glass ceiling in ways so coveted by the likes of Geraldine Ferrarro and Hilary Clinton is revealing.   It really has never been about women breaking the barriers to advancement.   Their actions now show that it has always been about the advance of the extreme left into positions of power where their intolerance toward those not of their ilk can be a meaningful force for change.

Listen as they put down a working mom’s ability to comprehend the big issues of the day.   These sexist judgmentalists now question whether Sarah should stay home and take care of her children.   The displeasure evident on their faces belies a general rejection of the choices affecting life that have been made by Palin family members.   Even the union of two young people in a loving relationship deeper than inconsequential sex is something incomprehensible to these ladies of the left.   Perhaps they might be more tolerant if it were a same sex union.

To these women Sarah is stupid for not being like them.   One can only wonder if news that one’s pregnancy will result in a Downs Syndrome child is cause for them to put an end to it.  Or how should one regard the inconvenience of a pregnancy prior to completion of ones education.   Oh no, do not let anything get in the way of the “me”.   C’mon girls make your choice and don’t make a wrong one.

Isn’t it amazing how a political movement that proclaims itself the champion of tolerance and of those with no advocate is so willing to discriminate against women not in lock step with their agendas or intolerant of the challenge a special needs child poses or a young couple in love who may grow up a little faster than others by starting their family prematurly.

Sarah Palin represents diversity to these women and they can’t stand it.   Her strength in standing up to political bosses, career politicians, and big oil companies is to be overlooked and ignored because to them, she is a threat to their new American order and the changed definition of what an American woman is to be.   When you get used to standing up to people, your backbone grows strong and prepares you well for the challenges of international relations.

As the heat continues to rise in the political kitchen of this year’s election, there can be no doubt that the hotter it gets the stronger she will be and the hypocrisy of her critics will be exposed in a way that will cause a rising of the silent majority of American moms who want their daughters to emulate a strong woman who stands up for herself, the truth, justice, and her convictions.    What a great role model for us all.
