Thirteen reasons to hate Alaska Governor and Republican Vice-President nominee Sarah Palin:

1. She won’t quit her job to raise her children, as every good woman obviously should, women evidently being incapable of multi-tasking. So says Washington icon Sally Quinn. Who knew Quinn was a closet reactionary anti-feminist and more anti-woman than the most rabid conservative? To be fair, the problem here is that liberal women do not know how to deal with a working woman who actually has a live-in husband. All of their government policies are tweaked for single mothers who need the government to stand in for their long-gone once-was-enough mates.

Imagine that Chelsea Clinton got pregnant and someone suggested that Senator Hillary Clinton was disqualified to run for President because she had an unmarried, pregnant daughter. Preposterous, right? But the blind rage of the Left makes that argument unabashedly, and idiotically, against Governor Palin. It’s insulting to working women everywhere. Should all women quit their jobs if their daughters get pregnant? That’s what the Left and its media commentators are saying, apparently unconcerned for their runaway hypocrisy. It’s insulting to all women, liberal as well as conservative, and dangerously lunatic. Who can trust these people to think rationally on any controversial social or political issue?

The fear that Governor Palin will be the first female Vice-President, and in four or eight years the first woman to run for President entirely on her own merits, has the Left in the grip of the terrors of their worst nightmare. They said that they wanted women to have real choices, but they meant that they wanted their women in power, not all women empowered. Too late. The Left believed their own propaganda, that Conservatives only wanted women who were barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen. They failed to see the coming of Governor Palin and the competent women of the right because they did not believe that conservative men and women were ready and willing to nominate a women for one of the highest offices in the nation. “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,” is how the Bible (Romans 1) describes such people.

2. She wears too much lipstick (as in, “What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? . . . Lipstick!”).

3. She praises men. Yup. Listen to her. She admires her husband (still, after 20 years) and she even finds good things to say about Senator McCain. Doesn’t she know that admiration is a zero-sum game, that to admire men must mean to under-appreciate women?

4. She’s younger, stronger, better looking, just as articulate and more experienced than Senator Obama. Bet you anything she can outplay Barack man-to-man in basketball. In hockey, for sure.

5. She’s a small town, small state, outsider who disrespects the establishment. Her favorite movie is probably “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town” or “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington .”

6. She’s prettier than all those “Look at me!” Hollywood-type celebrities, and doesn’t have to flaunt it. She has what those flashy but less-lovely ladies do not and do not know that they do not, a brain.

7. She is a truly compassionate conservative. Remember them?

8. Some of her rhetoric has a biblical tone. A religious zealot, no doubt, and therefore totally irrational and dangerous. You know, she seems to be someone who actually believes in God, practices a recognizable faith, and attends a church where love and forgiveness are taught to triumph over hate and old grievances. She probably even prays.

9. She has a son in the military, a 19-year-old who himself is better qualified than Barack Obama to be commander-in-chief, based on actual military experience. Refresh my recollection. Just how long did Barack Obama serve in the US armed forces? I can’t seem to find it on the Democratic Party website.

10. She loves both oil and the environment. What a hypocrite! Every environmentally sensitive American knows that we import oil from abroad because we want those other places to suffer all of the environmental destruction while we preserve the Alaskan wilderness and the ocean 200 miles offshore for future generations of fish and spotted owls yet unborn.

11. She can pronounce "nuclear." Not only that, she has the temerity to mention nuclear energy in the same breath as geothermal, wind, solar and other alternative energy sources. Did someone tell her that France gets 40% of its electrical energy from nuclear, with no environmental effects?

12. Her Vice-Presidency means that Senator Hillary Clinton will never become President. Four or eight years from now Senator Clinton will have to run against another woman, Sarah Palin, who is younger, brighter, more experienced, more popular and has cuter grandchildren.

13. She loves, truly loves, her Down Syndrome son and refused to sacrifice him for her career or her convenience. For that, every liberal woman in America must hate her, for personally undermining one of their most specious arguments for unrestricted abortion rights, the right to kill genetically defective and disabled babies because of the lack of "quality" of their future lives.

By the way, if liberal women had given birth to the 50 millions babies they have aborted in the past 30 years, their offspring would hold the upcoming election in their power. How do liberals expect to take over the world if they continue to kill their children, or decline to have children, or promote same-sex marriage, which produces no children?

All good reasons to hate Sarah Palin. Take this as warning of what can happen when the Leftist Establishment fails to take proper pains to indoctrinate the children growing up in the distant reaches of the country. The Left ignored Alaska , and now the wicked Queen of the West has arisen to trouble their dreams of one-world domination.
