‘I AM SARAH, WATCH ME ACT’ – Barbara Kay, National Post
  But win or lose the election, Sarah Palin has already altered the cultural landscape of America, possibly of the Western world. In years to come, social archeologists will mark her speech as the official beginning of an end to the gender wars, and, one hopes, a return to trust and collaboration between the sexes.

  In her single calculated comment about women, she said, “This is America, and every woman can walk through every door of opportunity.” “Got that? It wasn’t Gloria Steinem that put me on this podium. It was my made-in-small-town-America traditional social values combined with old-fashioned patriotism and Alaska-instilled pioneerism.”

FEMINIST “INTENSE RAGE” IN RESPONSE TO PALIN – New York Sun
“Senator McCain’s selection of Governor Palin is sparking intense reactions from some New Yorkers, who report being driven to fits of rage and even all-consuming panic.

  All of my women friends, a week ago Monday, were on the verge of throwing themselves out windows,” an author and political activist, Nancy Kricorian of Manhattan, said… Every woman I know was in high hysteria over this. Everyone was just beside themselves with terror that this woman could be our president — our potential next president.”

“A posting on a New York-based Web site for women, Jezebel.com, spoke of unbridled anger. “What I feel for her privately could be described as violent, nay, murderous, rage,” an associate editor at Jezebel, Jessica Grose, wrote just after the Republican convention wrapped up. “When Palin spoke on Wednesday night, my head almost exploded from the incandescent anger boiling in my skull.”

“When I see people crowing about her ‘acceptable’ speech last Wednesday … I literally want to vomit with rage,” a comment from Anibundel said. “I am shocked by the depths of my hatred for this woman,” another commenter, CJWeimar, wrote.”

“A psychiatrist and conservative blogger, Patricia Santy, said the strong emotional reactions are driven by Mrs. Palin’s differing with the left-leaning political agenda of many feminists. “Their entire image of themselves is based on the fact that they are paving the way for women. What do they see? Women getting ahead, women being empowered who don’t agree with them,” Dr. Santy said.”

SHOULD SARAH PALIN COME TO NY AFTER SANDRA BERNHARD’S WARNING?
  Sandra Bernhard issued a vulgar hate-speech against Gov. Sarah Palin during a performance of her new one-woman show in Washington D.C., warning her to stay away from Manhattan. Bernhard refers to her as “Uncle Woman” and even goes to the extremes and says that she will not be invited in Manhattan where she might be “gang-raped” by her “big black brothers.”

  TRIG PALIN A FINANCIAL BURDEN WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABORTED

“In stunningly self-centered, cruel fashion, Nicholas Provenzo, writer for the Center for the Advancement of Capitalism suggests that Sarah Palin’s decision to give birth to a child with Down Syndrome, is a financial burden that others are forced to suffer with.” 

  He Wrote: “A parent has a moral obligation to provide for his or her children until these children are equipped to provide for themselves. Because a person afflicted with Down syndrome is only capable of being marginally productive (if at all) and requires constant care and supervision, unless a parent enjoys the wealth to provide for the lifetime of assistance that their child will require, they are essentially stranding the cost of their child’s life upon others.”

PALIN AND LEFTIST HATE
“Instead of destroying Palin’s credibility, Democrats and their supporters have been ruining their own. Not only have their attacks done nothing to stop the electrifying effect Palin has had on the McCain campaign but they may well propel the ticket to the White House. It’s doubtful that McCain could have envisioned this turn of events when he first selected Palin as his running mate.”

CBS ‘EARLY SHOW’ FOCUSES ON PALIN ‘TROOPER-GATE,’ LEAVES OUT KEY FACTS
  Never went further to explained that “new email evidence corroborates Palin’s reason for firing Monegan or to describe the political motivations of those leading the investigation. …e-mails actually back up Palin’s claim that Monegan was fired because of insubordination over budget issues”

MICHELLE OBAMA: DON’T VOTE BECAUSE ‘SHE’S CUTE 
  Michelle Obama is part of a concerted effort involving her husband, his running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to neutralize the appeal that Palin has brought to John McCain’s ticket for some female voters. – Townhall

THE GENDER-BENDING PALINS – WorldNetDaily
  So is Todd Palin ready to be “first lady”? If Sarah assumes a vice-presidential role, then by her own admission, Todd will become a stay-at-home househusband. Praised as virtuous by desperate conservatives, Sarah and Todd Palin fit nicely into today’s modern version of Christianity where true masculinity in the form of family leadership is absent, and women abdicate feminine roles in the home.

CHURCHGOING CATHOLICS RETURNING TO GOP FOLD
“Observant Catholics are returning to the Republican fold now that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has joined the GOP ticket – a shift that looks to be more enduring than a postconvention bounce. If the trend sticks, it will mark a partial setback for Democrats and the Obama campaign, who have vied vigorously for the pivotal votes of Roman Catholics.”
