Palin Shattering Stereotypes
I love the article from yesterday’s USA Today entitled “Feminist template obliterated” and authored by Kathleen Parker, because it is, thankfully, very true. You see, many women in America, at least from what they tell me, have become increasingly fed up with groups such as Code Pink and Planned Parenthood who claim to represent all women. In reality, however, they really only support those who fit their mold and agree to further the liberal mindset, as we have learned in recent weeks. Anyone else check out last week’s US Weekly or People covers? She’s sure causing a ruckus. They apparently don’t like to mess with superfluous things like facts, I guess. I commend the ensuing outrage- the “silent majority” has spoken and its leader is Sarah Palin.
It should be obvious why: Palin is breaking down gender barriers and shattering “politically correct” (and just plain incorrect ones, too) views of women, because she doesn’t try to be a man; she is utterly and completely female, and that’s okay. It’s like I said in a previous article, men and women are different, but haven’t we learned by now that differences are what make us stronger? Gov. Palin is a strong woman who sticks to her guns (yes, the real ones, too) and stands firm on her policy issues. Unlike the “model” (liberal) woman, she’s not pro-choice and she believes God runs the show. She fights corruption, she runs a state, she helps parent her five children, but she doesn’t apologize for her femininity, she embraces it, and that’s what will win the election for her and for McCain. Actually, let me rephrase that. That’s what will win the election for America.
Because it shouldn’t be about how men are better than women or about how women are better than men. We each are good at certain things because of who we are, individually. It’s more like, “Sarah Palin really is good at all those things they say she’s good at, like hunting, politics, taking down the bad guys, and raising her family. Oh, and, by the way, she’s a woman.” This is America! It should be just fine for women to be independent and capable, and basically as opposite as possible to a Stepford Wife.
Women of America, I hope you don’t mind if I say I hope you’ve found your voice in Sarah Barracuda. If she’s the face of the future of the American Women, I think the future is bright. Perhaps our nation really will be spared the resounding defeat that is Barack Obama. Honestly, I think she and McCain are the only two that can do it.
