Elites attack Western Women When They Attack Palin
The women that settled the west were strong and versatile, they still are, a reason I view the treatment of Sarah Palin by the elites and mainstream media as a direct attack on my lifestyle. I’m Susan Allen this is OpenRange . Enough of the Sarah Palin hunting jokes, and comments by arrogant columnists like Maureen Dowd who said she shared common ground with Palin because Sarah grew up shooting moose while she watched Bullwinkle on TV. My daughters-in law and I all hunt, sometimes even together ? So she despise us as well? Why? I find Palin putdown derogatory towards women who epitomizes the western lifestyle. Be it agriculture, the fishing industry, ranching, and rodeo, we shouldn’t allow our precious heritage and history to be trashed. Hew Hewitt of the National Review analyzed hatred of Palin by suggesting it is because of the contrast between her lifestyle and critics. “She is the embodiment of the anti-choice, the opposite of every choice that lefty elites have ever made. Having children, having a child with Downs, staying married to one man the whole time, choosing rural over urban ,and living a generally conservative lifestyle working with her hands. Sarah? He’s describing my Aunt Peg who has spent her life on a remote ranch. Hewitt concludes by saying that “Everything Palin is is the antithesis of everything the liberal urban elites are so it’s not just enough to say, “I disagree with you, she has to be repudiated and crushed.” No she doesn’t, It’s time to stop the defiling and profiling .
