Sarah Palin... top ten reasons why liberals and RINOs hate her guts

As long-time readers here know, I’ve been a staunch Sarah Palin supporter from the moment I heard the first paragraph of her outstanding acceptance speech as McCain’s vice presidential running mate back in August 2008. I’ve exposed the vicious, blistering media bias and attacks against Palin, her husband, her children too many times to count, and even joined a number of conservative bloggers who made February “All Palin Month” in response to a Washington Post leftist journalist’s snarky “ban Palin” decree.

Which is why I’m impressed — while also depressed — about this new post by Megan Fox (not to be confused with the snotty prima donna liberal actress Megan Fox) on the top 10 reasons people hate Sarah Palin.

Because I didn’t write it.

Yes, it’s that good.

Dang it.

Fighting the urge to boldly rip off ALL of not-the-liberal-actress Megan Fox’s fabulous post, I’ve shown reluctant restraint and taken only a few spot-on portions of four of her ten cited reasons. Click here to read them all — they’re worth it.

To you liberals reading this (you know who you are) who zealously, irrationally hate-hate-hate Palin, you might want to wander over to read Fox’s list at NewsReal Blog to find out exactly why you have such unhinged, unhealthy negative emotions and obsessions about a woman who is an admirable American and constitutionalist, a loving wife and mother of five, a strong, feminine woman who believes in the power of the individual and refuses to be victimized, a woman who deeply believes in God.

It’s likely Reason #1. Because if ANY female Democrat figure embodied the first nine reasons on Fox’s list, many of you (except perhaps atheists, pro-abortionists, and misogynists) would be dyed-in-the-wool Palin fans. Maybe even more than you are of our current Whiner in Chief.

Portions of four sections and a bit of the intro pulled from stay-at-home mom, blogger, radio talk show host, and country singer (Crikey, she can also sing??? Not fair, not fair…) Megan Fox’s exemplary Top 10 Reasons to Hate Sarah Palin:

When Sarah Palin first stepped onto the national stage (in the hottest red high heels anyone ever saw) this country was changed forever. It will be remembered in history as the moment conservative women stepped onto the grid in a meaningful way. In the same instant, the Left froze in terror and a seething hatred began to build until it could no longer be contained and was unleashed in the most brutal assault on a woman in politics this nation has ever seen. The most vile and disgusting remarks were made about her family, her baby’s paternity, her marriage and her motherhood. Late night comics made rape jokes about her minor daughter and degraded her by calling her a “stewardess” and “sexy secretary.”

10. She’s Prettier Than You (and She Couldn’t Care Less)

“Caribou Barbie,” they sneered while insinuating anyone as attractive as Palin couldn’t possibly house a brain behind that stunning face. And she is stunning. Palin is one of those beautiful women for whom doors open, heads turn and lesser beauties fade. She’s one of those girls I imagine had a hard time keeping girlfriends if any were too self-conscious to be lost behind the radiance that is Sarah.

And yet, she is the most unassuming beauty queen I ever saw. How many women on TV can you name who would be caught dead in waders (giant rubber pants with suspenders that make even a taut size 4 look like she weighs 200lbs) and slugging giant halibut with a billy club? And yet, there she is on her show, Sarah Palin’s Alaska, without a stitch of makeup, hair a mess, up to her elbows in fish guts (having a marvelous time) and still managing to look better than most Cover Girls. It must really burn Maureen Dowd that on her best day (with professional makeup artists) she can’t hold a candle to Sarah Palin working a slime line.

This might explain why Dowd has repeatedly said nasty things like Palin is “one nutty puppy,” and has a penchant for “naughty monkey high heels.” I’m willing to bet there’s more than a little jealousy that no one would look twice at her in those same (fabulous) shoes.

Of course, Palin doesn’t care about any of this and would probably not approve of my bringing it up, but I can’t help myself. Much of the hatred from the Left (especially from the women) stems from this type of petty jealousy. And who could blame them? Conservative women in politics tend to be more attractive than leftist politicians. Usually that’s because conservatives do their hair and wear makeup versus the Janeane Garofalo approach which involves not showering and wearing big clunky spectacles last seen on Buddy Holly.

There is more good stuff in Number 10, but onward to the next, Number 9…

9. She’s Married to the Father of All Her Children (i.e. Traditional Family)

Despite the best efforts of the tabloid media (and by tabloid I mean the major networks) to implode the Palins’ marriage, they failed. Sarah and her high school sweetheart, Todd, are still happily married and doing just fine. They have mutual admiration for each other and it shows. Everything out of Sarah’s mouth regarding her husband is complimentary. (I hope Kate Goesslin took notes for her next marriage.)

The other thing that sticks in the craw of the Left is the non-traditional setup of this traditional marriage. Sarah brings home the bacon and Todd cares for the babies and cooks! It’s a “feminist’s” dream come true right? Gloria Steinem once said,

We know that we can do what men can do, but we still don’t know that men can do what women can do. That’s absolutely crucial. We can’t go on doing two jobs.

Seems like the Palins know this very well. But it does not endear them to the Left. Sarah has everything the lefty-fems said they wanted. A career, children, a husband who embraces his feminine side and helps around the house and yet they hate her for it. Probably because they’ve never been able to achieve the dream they sold for themselves.

A post-script in this category is Sarah Palin as fertility goddess. This powerful archetypal image is something the faux feminists have laid claim to, presupposing that women because of their fertility power and life-giving ability were at one time in ancient herstory revered and worshiped. I took the college indoctrination courses and there is no proof of this nonsense of course. Only a couple of cave paintings and carvings that look like ancient porn to me. But the fertility goddess image lasts and is still a powerful one in the mind of mankind.

Sarah is a modern fertility goddess. Her five children are proof and her sexual attractiveness only increases with the evidence of her fertility. In the basic caveman mind of man, she is the epitome of the perfect mate who clearly has no trouble procreating and has retained her sexual allure. Not only do her five children give evidence of her fertility, but Sarah is so potent it has spilled over onto her oldest daughter who has begun the ancient cycle again by giving birth. Sarah is a grandmother! And yet, her fertility on display is like catnip for most people (men especially.) Her status as a grandmother doesn’t diminish her attractiveness at all.

The leftist feminists are tied in knots over this one. On one hand they want to embrace the fertility goddess in all women. (For them this means attending several showings of the Vagina Monologues per year and staring endlessly at their hoohas with hand-held mirrors.) They are the advocates of goddess worship…

Reason Number 8…

8. She Encourages Character Building, Not Eyebrow Tweezing

Contrary to my opening item regarding her beauty, Sarah does not care about looks. (Which oddly enough just makes her more attractive.) And she’s teaching her girls the same thing. There was a moment on the show when they were all traveling in their RV and Willow and Bristol were razzing each other like sisters do. They got to talking about one of them having a “uni-brow” and teasing ensued. Sarah quickly put an end to it by declaring, “Girls, that’s enough about physical appearances.”

I thought about this and how much different Alaska is from any other “reality” show on TV. I hate that they even put it in that category. It is much more like a documentary on Alaska and its natural resources than anything else. It reminds me of my all time favorite PBS classic, Wild Wild World of Animals. When I think of reality TV I think of all the scandalous misbehaving, as showcased on idiot shows like the Kardashians, Real Housewives and Rock of Love. There is nothing even remotely comparable to Alaska in any of these formats. No one is getting breast implants, knocking over tables, making out in hot tubs, picking up chicks in bars by insulting them, or getting horrible face lifts. (Oh where have you gone Bruce Jenner? Our nation turns it’s horrified eyes from you.)

The Left thought Sarah’s “reality” show was going to be a great source of ridicule, but all it has done is highlight to America how bereft of values the Left truly is. We all know progressives control television. The leftist culture shapes entertainment. Their idea of family, that started with the Osbournes and has given us the dysfunctional Goesslins, the drunken and stoned Anna Nicole-Smith, Hugh Hefner’s misogynistic lifestyle, is seriously lacking. Watching the Palin’s incredibly normal (albeit more interesting than most) family makes the Left look more vile than ever.

In fact, there is a warning at the beginning of Alaska that says something to the effect of, “this show may be disturbing to some viewers.” Who? Democrats? It shocks me they can air The Jersey Shore with no such warning, but watching the Palins go fishing and camping is “disturbing?”

Here’s Reason Number 3 to hate Sarah Palin…

3. Her Children (and Husband) are Native Americans

We all know how much the Left loves to co-opt ethnic groups. But Todd Palin’s Inuit heritage isn’t helping the progressive media feel warm and fuzzy toward the Palins. In fact, they’ve never mentioned it. I only learned that the Palins are of Inuit descent from watching Alaska. The bend-over-for-Obama media doesn’t want you to know that this family is Native American. In fact, they’ve been so horrible to them, if any of us found out the Palins are actually brown people we could have accused them of being….racists! What do they have against the Inuit people exactly? Maybe we should start asking that question. Haven’t Native Americans been abused enough?

The Palin children are one quarter Inuit. That means they will be eligible for affirmative action placement and all sorts of yummy leftist treats (maybe even their own casino!) They should be totally immune to the vitriol of the Left. But no, progressives only care about minorities when it suits them. Instead of endearing them to the Left, their minority status has only made the Palins more hated.

The whole glorious enchilada:
10. She’s Prettier Than You (and She Couldn’t Care Less)
9. She’s Married to the Father of All Her Children (i.e. Traditional Family)
8. She Encourages Character Building, Not Eyebrow Tweezing
7. She Likes Guns
6. She Hunts
5. She’s Pro-Life and Lives It
4. You Can’t Rattle Her
3. Her Children (and Husband) are Native Americans
2. She Loves Jesus
1. She’s Not a Democrat
