Can You Say ‘Sexist’?

I'm a Republican woman (an oxymoron according to Quindlen, apparently) and I'm here to let you know that the left doesn't hold a monopoloy on empowerment of women.

Democrats are the ones who claim to fight the stereotypes; instead, as this article shows, stereotypes are all they've got.

Popmanifesto- EXCUSE ME? It's working a lot better than the dismal record of liberals on absolutely anything worth pointing to as a record of accomplishment: to wit- the USA hasn't been attacked once in almost 8 years.
Sparkly- RIGHT ON! The left has the same exact response to any black person who accomplishes anything as well. For example, Clarence Thomas, Sewell, Watt all have measurable ability and are constantly derided while Rev Jackson/Sharpton are a bad joke, but held in high esteem on the left.

Here's the news: That huge band of RED states in the middle is darn tired of being called flyover country by a bunch of loons on both coasts who really think that all good ideas and good people come from big cities. Get ready for a whuppin' in Nov.- there are still more of us in AMerica than there are of you in LALALAND.

Well, may if the DNC hadn't been so SEXIST toward Hillary and truly lived their supposed platform of equality for all -- AND if Obama had made the CORRECT choice for VP (Hillary) instead of slapping Hillary in the face by not even vetting her -- then maybe just maybe McCain would not have been able to counter with Palin. In fact, with Hillary on the DNC ticket there would have been no Palin. Hillary owes nothing to anyone. The DNC and Obama screwed up BIG TIME!

Alaska: 638,500 citizens. Poughkeepsie, NY: 29,900 citizens. They are obviously not equivalent! What rubbish.

And choosing a woman for political purposes is NOT the same as affirmative action -- she is believed to be the most qualified person to help win the election, while affirmative action requires you to choose someone who is not the most qualified person for the job in order to meet a quota.

Can we trust the opinions of someone who is either so stupid(or dishonest that she can't even keep facts straight? This article was carefully prepared and edited, and I found this in a single quick read.

"by demanding that she be honored with the same tough scrutiny the guys in this race get" ??
oh, puh-leeze!! what scrutiny has Sen. Biden received? not one bit, just a few harmless jibes over his serial plagiarism. Yet while Todd Palin's 1986 DUI conviction is considered newsworthy, there has been not ONE mention anywhere of the New York Times' 1986 article on Sen. Biden revealing that he, as a sitting US Senator, lived in a home with a racially-restrictive deed forbidding him from selling it to a black family or allowing a black family even to occupy Sen. Biden's home. And yet Sen. Biden is allowed to serve as the running mate of America's first black candidate for President without the Times, Newsweek, or any other press organ deciding "to honor" Sen. Biden by, ahem, reminding him of this inconvenient truth.

Palin has gotten the base charged up and in fighting mode, but as usual they don't need to know anything about how she will govern. Like George W. Bush before her, she seems likable and says all the things they want to hear about abortion and religion, so nothing else matters. How's that been working for you?

So, are all of Gov. Palin's supporters hypocrites as well? You seem to lack self-awareness. Your opinion piece shows you to be a hypocrite just as much as those who you decry for hypocrisy. Or were you trying for irony?

Discussions that state that non-support of affirmative action is either racist or sexist and not in conformance with a full respect of other humans without regard to race or gender are disingenuous in the extreme. It is like saying that one would hate children if they refuse to feed them ice cream for dinner. Self-sufficiency, without regard to race or gender, and a devotion to God, then Family, then Country is what is under attack.

I am independent voter and I am sorry to say that voters who vote for a candidate because he was once a prisoner of war, or she is a mother or he is a good speaker and do not analyse their policy and the possible impact on their lives are the most pathetic huamn beings. These people complain when the country is sinking in debt by burrowing money from CHINA to keep the country going. When are we going to demand policy chnage, the same failed policies that have sent our jobs outside the country and burrowing money from China. Wake up people, don't let any body fool you because your children future and the country existence is your hand, use your head people.

Yeah, Sarah is a pro-lifer, which causes rancor amongst liberals. Yet, it is a sincere belief among many Americans. Failure to respect conservative beliefs will lose yet another presidential election to Republicans. Jimmy Carter couldn't believe he could be beaten by an actor. His failure to take the threat seriously, respecting the views of all Americans, got him trounced. Anne Richards, Al Gore, and John Kerry all failed to take George Bush seriously and lost elections that were theirs to win. Now, Obama seems to be on the same road.

What seems to anger Ms. Quindlen and her fellow "feminists" is that Ms. Palin is feminine! How dare she not look and act like a man!

The article is a typical left wing view. I guess you have to believe in abortion to be a feminist.

As for announcing story about her daughter Bristol, perhaps if left wing bloggers weren't suggesting the Bristol was Trigg's mother it would have be announced differently.

Wasn't this weekend the first time Biden's had an indepth interviewed since it was announced that he was the Democrat VP? Can't wait to here the criticism's of Palin after she interviews with Gibson.

Anna,
You don't get it because you have NEVER gotten it. Republicans have LONG been about the causes of women. Just because republican women don't hate men and long for that next abortion doesn't mean they're not strong and powerful feminists. They're simply not "feminist" as you and your narrow views dictate.
