Confessions of a Secret Sarah Admirer

Sorry to say I cannot agree with you on Sarah Palin, although I am all for the advancement of women in politics and business. I am an educated woman and a working mom and my opinion of Sarah is not based on "all things uterine" as you put it, but on "all things human" - truth, honesty, an open heart, an open mind, tolerance, acceptance, and forgiveness. I have been a lobbyist at the state level and I can empathize with Sarah's position. She is being used by the Republican Party to try to "win" the election. What I object to is the campain, and Sarah, using the slogan "Country First" when they are actually putting "Winning First" and at any cost to the county. Sarah has a choice. And like John McCain she has chosen to carry the party line, regardless of her personal values. Respecting Sarah because she is willing to put her job before her family sound pretty old school; the type of respect that male dominated business environments have tried to sell to working women since they entered the workforce. Women have worked hard to educate the business community on the value of putting family first and work second. The value of supporting each other at home, the value to society in doing your best at the difficult job of raising a child to be a decent contributing adult. Sarah is eroding that work. Sarah is a bully. I have met many women like her who have fought their way into power by ridiculing and intimidating anyone who disagrees with them, and surrounding themselves with "friends" with brown noses. I don't respect men who bully their way into power either. I would like to see a genderless condemnation of this approach. Intimidation and fear are harmful to our future.

McCain is connected to Nazi supporters and Central American death squads.. so says
FoxNews and Washington Post (two Republican news publishers)

Obama's view of the future of America - Socialism which is the next step to Communism!!


Under socialism a ruling class of intellectuals, bureaucrats and social planners decide what people want or what is good for society and then use the coercive power of the State to regulate, tax, and redistribute the wealth of those who work for a living. In other words, socialism is a form of legalized theft.

The morality of socialism can be summed-up in two words: envy and self-sacrifice. Envy is the desire to not only possess another's wealth but also the desire to see another's wealth lowered to the level of one's own. Socialism's teaching on self-sacrifice was nicely summarized by two of its greatest defenders, Hermann Goering and Bennito Mussolini. The highest principle of Nazism (National Socialism), said Goering, is: "Common good comes before private good." Fascism, said
Mussolini, is "a life in which the individual, through the sacrifice of his own private interests??realizes that completely spiritual existence in which his value as a man lies."

Socialism is the social system which institutionalizes envy and self-sacrifice: It is the social system which uses compulsion and the organized violence of the State to expropriate wealth from the producer class for its redistribution to the parasitical class.

Despite the intellectuals' psychotic hatred of capitalism, it is the only moral and just social system.

Capitalism is the only moral system because it requires human beings to deal with one another as traders--that is, as free moral agents trading and selling goods and services on the basis of mutual consent.

Capitalism is the only just system because the sole criterion that determines the value of thing exchanged is the free, voluntary, universal judgement of the consumer. Coercion and fraud are anathema to the free-market system.

It is both moral and just because the degree to which man rises or falls in society is determined by the degree to which he uses his mind. Capitalism is the only social system that rewards merit, ability and achievement, regardless of one's birth or station in life.

Yes, there are winners and losers in capitalism. The winners are those who are honest, industrious, thoughtful, prudent, frugal, responsible, disciplined, and efficient. The losers are those who are shiftless, lazy, imprudent, extravagant, negligent, impractical, and inefficient. [What about the role of luck­being in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time? R. R. Pope}

Capitalism is the only social system that rewards virtue and punishes vice. This applies to both the business executive and the carpenter, the lawyer and the factory worker.

AJC Strongly Condemns Rev. Jesse Jackson's Comment on American Jews
October 14, 2008 - New York - The American Jewish Committee (AJC) has condemned the Rev. Jesse Jackson's statement about 'Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades.'
"Rev. Jackson's remarks, which appeared in an interview with the journalist Amir Taheri in today's New York Post, echo classic anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jewish power," said AJC Executive Director David A. Harris. 'This statement, regrettably, is not the first troubling comment by Rev. Jackson regarding Israel, Zionism and the Jewish people.'

Arguing as a private citizen that an Obama administration could bring significant change to U.S. foreign policy, Jackson was quoted as saying that "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" would lose much of their influence should Senator Obama be elected president."

And people are upset about raciest comments some in the crowd are allegedly saying at Palin events? Isn't this the same Democrat leader who once called New York "Hymietown"?

How heart-warming it is for me, that your support for Palin springs from her favourable comparisons with certain movie stars, and the fact that she'll make a lovely role model for your 8 year old girl. What drivel! I'm eternally grateful that YOU won't be running for vice president or president, or who knows the factors you'll consider before starting a war!

In reality, Hillary may have won!

As a Republican, I resigned myself to McCain when Romney had to withdraw. But his plan at the debate the other night was totally screwball, and although I can admire Sarah Palin as an attractive, likeable, confident, Christian woman who loves her family, I just don't think McCain made a good choice. She is just not prepared to step in as President. And the winking thing rubs me the wrong way, you betcha.

I am a fairly staunch Republican, but I would actually prefer voting for Hillary than either of these two presidential candidates, because she is a known quantity. Obama is a junior senator. He is well-spoken and attractive, but I don't think he should be president. Now if Colin Powell had been a Presidential candidate, I would have voted for him. If Condi Rice were on a ticket, then great! It is not a racial thing for me. It is economic policy, foreign policy, etc.

My husband and I both work and struggle with bills, etc., (read as not the Rich Republicans the Democrats like to bash), but I still thought the bailout was a BAD IDEA. Those of us who keep making our mortgage payments, who don't default on any of our loans, get penalized to the tune of $700,000,000,000 while people who never should have received loans which they could not pay for learn that they can escape financial responsibility. Talk about moving toward a socialist welfare state. Neither of the Presidential candidates inspires my confidence. Think I should just do a write in vote rather than endorse someone I don't trust.

I have a question for all of you Obama's fans, the question is, since you allready know your guy is going to win the presidency, since he has been declared the saviour of the economy, health care, the poor, the miracle worker, and the answer to all of the worlds problems, since he will bring the troops home with di-honor, and then sending them to Afghanistan to continue the killing of innocent people, since he will be the terminator to Binladen and since he will put all of us in a great place to live safe from terrorrists, and safe from drugs and crime, since you all know this to be true and a given, and a no brainer, then I ask, why are you then continuing the attack on Sarah Palin? Have'nt you done enough to this woman who has not cried, or thrown in the towell and ran to escape your vicious attacks on her and her children and her parents, and her husband.

Have you not done enough?, you all talk about the McCain followers getting angry, yes they are getting angry, and the reason is due to all that you gotten away with, oh you are not screaming your lungs out with Obama's attack on McCain and Palin, but you all hide in front of a computer and continue the attack on these two americans who want to help you and want to lower taxes for you and your frinds and who are putting America first, country first and who only want to leave Iraq in victory not defeat.

You continue to throw rocks and anything that will make her bleed. Is that what you all want?, for her to bleed, you and the media surely have done enough to her and her family to make her bleed, wow, is this what the american people are like, is this the Obama's doctrine?, to kill, kill, kill any one that stands in his way to the White House?, I say again, wow, what ever happened to the hearts of the american people, what happened to sportmanship, civility, compassion, and what happened to agree to disagree with honor not dishonor. You all are indicating to me that when Obama is in the White House americans will have a free for all attack of those of us who love our flag, our country, our god, our church, and our freedom. You all are so blind to the truth, and the truth is staring you in the face and you are are so blind, but serve you all right that when you open your eyes to the truth it will be to late, and then you will realised that you have been had. Serves you right.

IMPORTANT TO ALL AMERICANS!! Make absolutely sure to read the bizarre rantings of "man4palin16 " here on this blog!!! Quote "ohn McCain will be a great president because behind the scenes Sarah will be running things. She knows the Bible; she prays; mocking McCain or sarah is mocking God." And NO I didn't leave off the "J" on John he did. This type of religous whacho-ism should scare the crap out of you. Where does one even start??? I guess at the beginning. Sarah Palin will be behind the scenes running things??? Good God what kind of America will be left then? And as if Karl Rove would stand for that non-sense for half a minute. Oh you betcha! KKKarl will have her pie hole shut quicker than a Ms Palin can wink her way our of a traffic ticket. To mock John McCain and Sarah Palin is to mock God, Jesus Christ this guy is scary! We need to find these people and get Bush to spy on them so that we can know what they are up to at all times and keep them in their place, the looney bin. We are fighting a war against religious whacho's we don't need them here voting for our leaders. PLEASE TAKE NOTE!!!

Sarah Palin is a fraud. She was pregnant before she got married, has had an affair with one of her husband's friends, her 19 year old son is rumored to have serious drug problems, her 17 year old unwed daughter is pregnant, and she has used her political power to get even with people who disagree with her, yet all she talks about is being a "good Christian" and doing God's will. As a Christian she is a hypocrite who can not walk her talk, and as a politician she is completely unqualified to be Vice President. Her interview with Katie Couric showed her to be a woman with a disorganzied mind, a woman who is in over her head, utterly unprepared for the twist her fate has taken.

Even committed Republicans who support McCain have to ask themselves if they really would take the risk of putting our country into Palin's hands. Sure, being VP doesn't necessarily take a lot of skills, but being President requires great intelligence and a clear-eyed world view, one untainted by religious fanaticism. Look at the mess we got with the under qualified Dubya, and even he seems smarter and less fanatical than Palin. McCain is 72 years old, with high cholesterol and high blood pressure; his father and grandfather each died of heart attacks at age 72. McCain's Vice President HAS to be ready to lead. And by lead, I am not referring to a full speed charge into Armageddon.

For those of you who don't know, Palin belongs to a fundamentalist church that believes the end of the world is near: that war, financial distress and famine will kill off the sinful non-believers, and that when this holocaust occurs all good Christians will be taking refuge in Alaska. Furthermore, her church conducts witch hunts -- they actually use prayer to locate "witches" in their community, then publicly brand them as witches, and hold them responsible for everything that goes wrong in town. (Honestly, I think the long winters must be getting to their minds.) You can go on YouTube and watch videos of Palin participating during sermons like this. She stands on the altar facing the members. The congregation stands with outstretched hands, trancelike, speaking in tounges while the priest prays to "keep Sarah safe from all forms of witchcraft."

Could you REALLY feel comfortable knowing that a woman who holds these beliefs would have the power to declare war and deploy nuclear missles?

Ms. Deveney, I would like to know if your views on Sarah Palin have changed since September 6.
Aghast in Tennessee

But Sarah is brave and plain spoken. Miss deveny, like all Hillary lovers who are women, has half of the battle right. We do need strong role models for girls. But those role models cannot be stuck up frustrated "women" like Hillary whose husbands won't come near them with a 12 foot pole, we need ladies, feminine women who immediately cause everyone to feel at ease.

ohn McCain will be a great president because behind the scenes Sarah will be running things. She knows the Bible; she prays; mocking McCain or sarah is mocking God.

Miss Deveny is Missing In Action since she jumped on the Sarah Bandwagon. We will remmember her silliness if she refuses to stand by her woman.

Maybe Hillary's man-hating Brigades want Bill Clinton to harrass their daughters. Where are you, Miss Deveny?

I can't put it better than Sam Harris, whose article is also published on Newsweek's site: "The problem, as far as our political process is concerned, is that half the electorate revels in Palin's lack of intellectual qualifications. When it comes to politics, there is a mad love of mediocrity in this country. "They think they're better than you!" is the refrain that (highly competent and cynical) Republican strategists have set loose among the crowd, and the crowd has grown drunk on it once again. "Sarah Palin is an ordinary person!" Yes, all too ordinary.

We have all now witnessed apparently sentient human beings, once provoked by a reporter's microphone, saying things like, "I'm voting for Sarah because she's a mom. She knows what it's like to be a mom." Such sentiments suggest an uncanny (and, one fears, especially American) detachment from the real problems of today. The next administration must immediately confront issues like nuclear proliferation, ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (and covert wars elsewhere), global climate change, a convulsing economy, Russian belligerence, the rise of China, emerging epidemics, Islamism on a hundred fronts, a defunct United Nations, the deterioration of American schools, failures of energy, infrastructure and Internet security ??? the list is long, and Sarah Palin does not seem competent even to rank these items in order of importance, much less address any one of them." Sam Harris, "When Atheists Attack," 20 September 2008. Newsweek.

Kathleen Deveny should flip to the last page and take some advice from Anna Quindlen. An article like this does nothing to support women, it is actually condescending. She even states in the article that she probably will not vote for McCain/Palin because of her political stance. Well, then why are you writing this article? Because her 8 year old daughter thinks "girls rule"? I am 22 and I grew up knowing that "girls rule" without Hillary or Sarah. I never once doubted that women could make it in this world. If women wanted to be treated as equals, then stop citing her experience as a mother of five. If Joe Biden cited raising 5 children as experience for being president the media, and world would laugh in his face. If anyone really wants to support women, let's show them we aren't idiots and we vote on more than just gender. Let's show McCain that his political game to get into office won't work on us.

I'm voting for Jack the Ripper. I'll just "be happy that there's another" man "on the national political stage", to use your words. Its just a game of numbers after all. Policy doesn't matter, its only politics. We've got to get more men on that stage. Come to think of it, Charles Manson would be good too....
