Too bad you took those out of context.

Nice try though.
Not too long. I only went back 48 hours to find the eight examples.

I give her credit for raising her child under such conditions(I'm guessing she gets a lot more help in doing so than the average Down Syndrome parent does) but that doesn't make up for the evil sh*t that comes out of her mouth

You can't transfer her son's courage to her- it doesn't work that way-

GREAT post! And so true.

Probably not, nor would I wish to follow my friend into such a situation, but having the support of such as them, while I do battle with whatever foes I must face, does not bother me in the least. Whether that be a serious situation, requiring battlefield courage, or just the fight of living day to day. Women like Pelosi, Feinstein, Boxer et al, make my skin crawl, and do very little to inspire me to want to be a better man. I admire women like Sarah Palin, my friend, and, of course, my wife, who inspires me to want to be more than I am every day. Sarah Palin appeals to the rural sense of America, because she is NOT such a complicated woman. The far left sees this as contemptible, I, however, find it admirable. So, I honestly fail to see where you feel I am bashing women, hardly, only the snakes like Pelosi. And I am crowdin' the hell out of 50 myself, age means little to me anymore.

Once again Sarah canNOT stand on her own merits (she has none) ...MUST be compared to those the writer hates to get any good press at all....LOL!

Not a fan of the public Sarah Palin, but I do admire that she stuck to her right-to-life values when faced with the decision to bring her Down Syndrome fetus to term, a decision that was personal and life altering. It would have been very easy to have terminated the pregnancy and no one would have known. I don't like her or her politics, but her personal values were put to the test when she discovered that she was carrying a child that was not perfect by society's standards and she stuck to her guns. (no pun intended!) I give her props for that.

You may not like the politics of Pelosi, Feinstein, or Boxer, but they actually have careers and opinions, and have made enormous contributions to politics over many, many years. What exactly has Palin done, apart from a few years as a Governor, which will not go down in history as the best Governorship ever?

I don't know. She's still young enough to be the mother of a toddler. Pelosi, OTOH, just turned 70. Give Sarah 20+ years and we'll see.

Oh yes these worthy Democrats have accomplished enormous contributions. They have contributed to the eenormously lowest rated congress in history.
