Comments on: My summing-up of Palin-hatred for today https://thenewneo.com/2011/01/21/my-summing-up-of-palin-hatred-for-today/ A blog about political change, among other things Tue, 25 Jan 2011 23:01:45 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1 By: Joe https://thenewneo.com/2011/01/21/my-summing-up-of-palin-hatred-for-today/#comment-219575 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 23:01:45 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/2011/01/21/my-summing-up-of-palin-hatred-for-today/#comment-219575 For lweftists, what they believe and who they really hate isn’t important in itself. It’s a matter of being able to have “unipeachable” issues and opinions: trying to find the issues to take up that any opponent of them would be made to appear hateful or cruel. Do you really think that they care about the fate of the poor, or about children than anyone else? Of course not!

A summary of a great many comments: Many people perceive Palin as uppity and they do not much care for uppity women.

I’d expand it by saying the so-called elites are annoyed by her refusal to conform and shocked since their approval or threat of disapproval has always been so effective.
They have nothing else.
Now what?

WHAT? Palin’s not a self-serving narcissist, like pretty much all liberals?

No wonder she isn’t a Democrat.

Wisdom, Selflessness, Grace Under Fire… what qualities DOES she have for the liberal twit to admire?

I mean, really!?!?!

Since hard-headed common sense, aka “wisdom”, is something Dolly was known for, along with integrity and outspoken-ness, I suspect she might’ve done a lot better job than 75% of the women in politics… And 99% of the “liberal” ones…

One of the things that I believe really drive the liberals (and especially liberal women) up the wall is that Sarah doesn’t conform. She doesn’t accept the walls and boundaries that the left is attempting to push on her.

She just doesn’t care what they think, and that’s damn near intolerable. How dare she NOT?! Doesn’t she realize that THEY are important? That THEY arbitrate what the correct attitudes are? That she has to submit HER attitudes and thinking and actions to THEIR scruitiny and approval?

Of course, there’s no way they’d ever approve of her – and it makes it even the more galling that she doesn’t come to them and doesn’t give them the chance to reject her!

Sixteen years ago she made a commitment that every child born in her home county would receive a new children’s book in the mail every month, until they started kindergarten… 60 books (and a bookcase.)

Thousands of kids… a whole generation… have been read to by their parents, and have perhaps learned to read before starting school. I’m sure many have discovered a genuine love of reading.

In ensuing years, Dolly has expanded the program to other counties, and it has been adopted by municipalities, service groups, and institutions in many other states. Countless thousands of children have benefited, and Dolly has not sought, nor received, much publicity about her gifts. I discovered it only through the American Library Association.

“Liberal Women”.. and in fact, all of us, should give Dolly Parton the respect she deserves.

What he means by “ignorant, close-minded petty little person” is, “She doesn’t agree with me.”

He must be right. After all, didn’t Palin say there are 57 states in the US? And that Austrians speak Austrian? And that a Navy medic assigned to the Marine Corps is a “corpse-man?” And that the Framers of the Constitution had a blind spot when it came to slavery?

What? What’s that you say? That wasn’t Sarah Palin? That was . . .Nevermiiiiiind!

Larry does it in his first outing.

I’m so persuaded.
