Just let me get this off my chest and out in the open: I love Sarah Palin. Love her. She is everything I always imagined I could be – loving wife and mother, successful career woman, spine of steel, all around kick-ass female. The kind of woman those feminists always told me I could be. I dreamed the dream – I was going to go to college, get married and be a wonderful wife, raise perfect kids, and run a four star hotel, all while maintaining my perfect hair, clothes, nails and shoes.
Didn’t take me long to realize that I am not cut out for all of that. I saw pretty quickly that college was not really something I was very good at. I fell in love, got married, and after a while, along came two great kids. I am a pretty good wife and I am raising two awesome daughters…perfect? I sure think so…sometimes. Other times – I think they are the devils spawn, sent here to drive me deep into the wine bottle. But mostly they are awesome and I love them like crazy.
Running the four star hotel morphed into a daily struggle to keep my modest 3 bedroom suburban house off the condemned list. The perfect hair clothes nails and shoes became at home color and Super Cuts trims, nails chewed to the quick, and the cutest shoes I could find at the local Kohl’s department store, for around twenty dollars.
Life was, and is, good. Very good.
I was immediately enthralled with Sarah Palin, though. She stepped up on that stage with John McCain, and suddenly voting for him didn’t seem so reprehensible to this conservative, libertarian-leaning, small government, pro-Constitution, mother of two. There, before my eyes, was a woman who did have it all and then some! I was impressed that she could raise those kids and run a PTA, let alone a city and a then a state. I couldn’t run a lemonade stand with that many kids, let me tell you. Most of all, she seemed to share my values, and was chock-full of true American common sense. She seemed to have achieved the feminist dream that I once dreamed.
I had never really called myself a feminist – mostly because I believe men should hold doors open for me, something feminists had said was a no no. I did however, believe that they truly wanted all women to “have it all”, and therefore would rejoice in seeing a woman achieve the distinction of running for VP, even if they did not necessarily agree with her politics. After all, is it not the goal of every feminist to celebrate our commonality as women? Shouldn’t we rejoice in unison when one of our own achieves something great, yet agree to disagree on policies?
Wrong.
Boy, I was so far off base with the feminists (Femi-nazi’s, as Rush calls them) it’s not even funny. They were at the forefront of the “attack and destroy” mission on Sarah from the second they found out she had a Down Syndrome child, and a pregnant teenage daughter. They attacked her clothes, her hair, her manner of speaking. They attacked her mothering skills, accused her of neglecting her kids. Wait…What? I thought feminists were all about having a family AND a career? What happened to that?
It was about that time I realized just how insane most “feminists” really are. Feminism is not about women banding together to help each other forge our own paths, create our own happiness, and achieve equality. Its about furthering a political agenda. Woe is the woman who dares to stand in opposition to the progressive, far left agenda of the Feminists. They will not hesitate to rip her throat out. She threatens to pull back the curtain on their shaky facade, exposing their fraud and hypocrisy to the world.
The feminist’s unrelenting attacks on Sarah Palin opened my eyes to the true “Feminist Movement”. They have turned themselves into an irrelevant entity that is trying in vain to hold onto the brief glory they once had, before they sold their souls to Satan, that is. I hope they find peace in their eternal hatred of women like Sarah and me, for like it or not – they created us.
