Palin: The Dem's Latest Nightmare!

Last week, Republican Presidential nominee Senator John McCain tabbed Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate.

Unlike Hillary Clinton, who rose to national prominence on the back of her less than faithful husband, Bill Clinton, Sarah Palin has gotten where she is on her own. That is not to say she does not have a supportive husband. It means that she did not rise in the political world due to her husband being in the political world. He is not.

Sarah Palin is the ultimate nightmare for the left, particularly the members of NOW, because Palin, the ultimate feminist, is not one of them. In fact, it is not hyperbole to describe her as being the antithesis of the left's definition of feminism: She is a conservative wife and mother who loves God and her family, she is a self-described hockey mom, she owns and shoots guns as an unapologetic member of the NRA and supporter of the Second Amendment, she eats moose burgers, and she treasures traditional marriage and values innocent human life. She did not abort her Down's Syndrome baby, even though it was her "choice," but gave birth to her son, Trig, this past April 18, the anniversary of Paul Revere's famous ride. She did not push her 17 year old daughter, Bristol, to go out and have an abortion, either, something that could have been performed secretly in order to have spared Palin the political fallout this revelation created, since Governor Palin is a staunch supporter of abstinence education. Instead, Governor Palin has this to say about her daughter: "Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates." Contrast this to what Barack Obama said in a town meeting in Johnstown, PA: "I’ve got two daughters; 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby." In the eyes of Barack Obama a baby is a punishment, even though the word of God tells us they are a blessing. Yes, Sarah Palin is the left's worst nightmare, and her biggest "sin" is that she is attractive and articulate to boot!

The left is attempting to make political hay out of the pregnancy of Bristol Palin. How sad a commentary is this on the state of affairs in America today that the private life of a 17 year old girl becomes political fodder for the left. But it is my prediction that this will backfire resoundingly on the left, and I certainly hope it does. I believe they are in for quite a surprise because they have no idea what it means to face the beautiful hockey mom Sarah Palin. As she was quoted saying recently, "Do you want to know the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? The hockey mom wears lipstick!"
