Be the Party
The witch-hunt-trial, Sarah Palin, hysteria of the past two weeks reveals a disturbing trend among Liberals & the media, one that has only worsened over the past decade.
Liberals & the media elite are quick to attack the religiosity and pro-life stance of Conservatives, yet they fail to realize that their own ideology itself has become a secular quasi-substitute religion. Since when did they become so judgmental and intolerant? Conservatives, particularly pro-life religious conservatives, are demonized by them, as they try to polarize the universe into a great galatic battle of us versus them, good versus evil. Their (Liberals & the medias) big problem, one they fail to realize and fully understand, Is that they cling to pat group opinions as if they were inflexible moral absolutes.
Liberals & their allies in the media are in peril because they refuse to observe and listen and adapt to changing social circumstances. Not until they stringently re-examine their own assumptions and rhetorical formulas will it they be able to deal effectively with the enduring, forward thinking and now escalating, challenge of conservatives.
It is counterproductive for Liberals & the media elite to imagine that pro-life, conservative, religious values can be defeated by angrily and maliciously destroying their proponents.
It is equally foolish to expect that feminism must for all time be wed to the pro-choice agenda. There is plenty of room in modern thought for a pro-life feminism and, like it or not, Sarah Palin proves that point. That, my friends, is why she appeals more to women and women voters than Hillary ever could. Not only is she a pro-life, religious, fiscally responsible, feminist conservative, but she shows that you can be all those things and still be and have fun. That's something the Liberals and their lap dogs in the media could never do.
