Sally Quinn’s article about Governor Palin’s resignation announcement borders on the insulting

Sarah Palin, Sally Quinn, and the Fascist Left



Sally Quinn’s article about Governor Palin’s resignation announcement borders on the insulting. Actually, it does more than “border” -- it thrusts deeply into insulting territory. Ms. Quinn says, in effect, that if Palin would just be a good Christian housewife, and stay home like good Christian wives are supposed to, then the attacks against Palin would stop. It’s all Palin’s fault that she’s been so viciously attacked, so says Sally.

This is from Quinn’s article: “… Sarah Palin is a right-wing, evangelical Christian for whom "family values" and the role of the mother are paramount. Many right-wing Christians don't believe women should work outside the home. Yet here was Sarah Palin, resigning as the governor of Alaska, for political reasons.” We’re supposed to be shocked that a governor of one of the fifty states has resigned for “political reasons?” Apparently this was a cause of some consternation and confusion to Ms. Quinn. Let me mention in passing that contrary to Ms. Quinn’s opinion, to a “right-wing, evangelical Christian” it is God that is paramount -- not family and motherhood, valued though they are. Ms. Quinn’s article appeared in the “religious” section of “The Washington Post,” so you would think she’d know better. Quinn continues: “She could have stood up in front of her family and said one thing that everyone would have understood and everyone would have applauded. …She could have said, simply, ‘I'm leaving so that I can spend more time with my family.’" Well, there’s little doubt that the Left would have indeed applauded such an announcement – thunderously applauded, I would imagine. Sarah Palin scares the bejeezus out of the Left (those that she scares on the Right are the topic for another article). According to Quinn, all of the slurs, sexist innuendos, wasteful legal stratagems, and vociferous attacks hurled at Governor Palin were all Palin’s fault. Quinn lays every bit of it at Palin’s feet, and says, “Look what you made us do!” The unfair absurdity of Quinn’s accusation is apparent to any clear thinking individual, but it is an all too common pathology among the far-left. Ms. Quinn’s article can be summed up in five words of advice to Sarah Palin, “Go home, and shut up!” This is the sage advice of the “I am woman, hear me roar” fascist Left – sorry, liberal Left. One of the reasons that the Left fears and hates Sarah Palin is because she has put the lie to the “women’s rights” movement label that the Left has wrapped itself in for decades. The vicious attacks on Sarah Palin have made it glaringly obvious that NOW and the other so called “women’s rights” groups are nothing but far-left ideologues. This article is as good a place as any for me to say that it’s time for conservatives to stop letting the Left get away with co-opting such issues as women’s rights, racial equality, environmentalism, and other such concerns. Conservatives have as much right, if not more, to claim these issues as their own. These are all important subjects, and every conservative worth his or her salt knows it, and endorses these issues. To continue to let the Left lay proprietary claim to them is irresponsible at best, and suicidal at worst. (My train of thought IS gradually wending its way back on track – please bear with me for a moment longer). Mind you, when I say “conservatives” I’m not necessarily referring to the Republican Party. I’m referring to people who believe in the sanctity of the U.S. Constitution, individual freedom, and one nation under God. I’m talking about people who believe in a logical, rational, and moral democratic republic, as opposed to the secularist, amoral, relativistic, fascist, totalitarian “has been,” which the U.S. is rapidly becoming. Too many Republican politicos seem to have lost their roots and integrity, and it may be time for a new party – one that is firmly rooted in the vision and wisdom of the Founding Fathers. I’m obviously not the only one to consider such things. I imagine that, Sarah Palin, for instance, may have similar concerns about the state of our nation, and the GOP. Perhaps she’s thinking of joining a new political party – which is something else to keep the Left awake at nights (and certain elements of the Republican Party). Fear breeds anger, and you only need to look at how mean-spirited and vicious the attacks against Palin have been, to realize how much the Left feels threatened by her. Threatened by what exactly? Threatened by Palin’s honesty, intelligence, values, and strength. They are threatened by the fact that a woman of morals and spiritual principles has been successfully active in the political arena – the Left’s alleged devotion to “women’s rights” notwithstanding. She’s not “one of theirs,” and therefore Sarah Palin’s mere existence turns their bigoted, elitist world-view on its head, and they don’t like that one bit. I’ve mentioned fascism in this article, and I’d like to conclude this article with a brief discussion of it. Contrary to popular wisdom, fascism was, is, and always will be a political strategy connected to the Left. It is not, and never has been a political strategy of the Right. When someone from the Left calls a conservative a fascist, they don’t know what they’re talking about. No surprise there, of course. The Left not only co-opted the word “fascist,” they kidnapped it, brain-washed it, and reintroduced it as meaning pretty much the exact opposite of what it truly is. As clever a piece of verbal legerdemain as you’ve ever seen – and they’ve pulled it off for decades. Fascism is not the opposite of socialism, but merely a variant of socialism. To say that fascism is the opposite of socialism, is like saying that softball and hardball are opposite sports. Obviously they’re not opposites; they’re closely aligned, and so are socialism and fascism. Jonah Goldberg makes all of this, and much more, abundantly clear in his brilliant book “Liberal Fascism.” As Goldberg points out, the fascism of the U.S. Left is a “smilely face” fascism, a “warm and fuzzy” fascism, but it’s fascism nonetheless. Why do I bring up fascism? Because the United States of America is fast becoming an example of a fascist socialist country, right before our eyes. And if those bozos in Washington D.C. keep it up, we’ll soon be a broke fascist socialist country. Financially and morally bankrupt. All of which brings me around to saying that, if you view Ms. Quinn’s article, and the other crude, cruel, and/or clever attacks against Sarah Palin as elitist fascist rants aimed against moral integrity, rationality, spiritual principles, and the bourgeoisie middle class, then you are pretty close to the mark.
