How The Left Is Playing With Fire

This essay from First Things by Suann Therese Maier echoes what countless indignant women across America are thinking:

I will vote for Sarah Palin because she has guts. We’ve never met, but I suspect I know something about her life, and so do a great many other women. I know what it means to have a son with Down syndrome. I know what it means to talk a good line about religious faith and then be asked to prove it. I know what it means to have a daughter pregnant and unmarried.

In fact, while we’re on the subject, I also know what it means to have two grandchildren born out of wedlock, a son struggling with alcohol, two grandchildren with serious disabilities, putting myself through graduate school while simultaneously caring for a husband and children and teaching full time—and a whole lot more. This is the stuff of real human love; this is the raw material of family life. And those who think that Palin’s beliefs and family struggles are funny or worth jeering at, simply reveal the venality of their own hearts.

I will vote for Sarah Palin because she is intelligent, tenacious and talented. Nobody made her rise easy, and no one is making it easy now. And—is it only moms who notice this?—unlike Senator Biden, she does seem to act consistently on her beliefs about the sanctity of life, at considerable personal cost.

Where does not just talking the talk, but walking the walk get Sarah Palin with Democrats?

IF YOU AREN’T ONE OF US YOU ARE NOT A “REAL” WOMAN AND WE WILL DESTROY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

Like I said, previously…Bring it on suckas. We see it for what it is, and you have mobilized the base of the Republican party like it hasn’t been mobilized in quite some time.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a dramatic uptick in Republican party registration over this. I would be ashamed to be a Democrat, right now.

UPDATE:

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR PALIN!

RightWingSparkle has started the website, PROUD OF PALIN with the sole purpose of publishing letters of support for Governor Palin. After a short while, she will be sending the letters directly to her, so get busy!
