Don’t worry; I’ll explain the title in a sec. Justin is an alarmist, for the reason that Mario is alive and well (he is also a vegetarian). Peta serves as a nice transition to the topic at hand, seeing that the organization frequently uses women as a means to an end (see video below).
Okay, The Onion News Network achieved a great parody, yet it had real truth. American history is clear; blacks were given the right to vote— before women. John Lennon once wrote/sang that women are the niggers of the world:
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down, we pretend that she's above us
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah, yeah...better scream about it
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeah...alright...hit it!
We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb
There is a sad reality to John’s lyrics, and the song is rather apropos. B. Obama was elected as a transformative figure. His empty rhetoric isn’t what garnered votes, it was the association of his blackness with distinction. The man is a walking/talking rhetorical device. Sarah Palin wasn’t so lucky, as she was plucked from obscurity for political reasons. Still, nobody has ever given her the benefit of being capable of learning. A mongoloid can learn to clean floors properly; however, Sarah lives in a supposed void of ignorance, so she is incapable of reaping the benefits of her worldly adventures.
Ms. Palin is a formidable personality. On the surface she is a person who has great wit, and a charming tone to her voice. Her colloquialisms make her stand out, as she doesn’t modify her speech pattern to suit her audience (see Obama black voice, white voice and serious voice). Sarah Palin has an impressive resume, not by Ivy League standards, but through her perseverance. She is a true autodidact. This self learnedness has propelled her to sports reporter, city councilwoman, mayor of Wasilla, Chairperson of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, governor of Alaska and vice-presidential candidate. Has she had an impressive life? Yes.
Constantly, personalities ask whether Sarah Palin is divisive. Isn’t anyone with a political position a bit polarizing? Her children are attacked, her teenagers and infant. Everyone in her life is put under a microscope. As if she has done something wrong. Just this week, Reuters prefaced an article with; “Get ready, America. Like her or not, Sarah Palin is coming to a city near you” (http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE5AA3K520091111). The article was written by Steve Holland, an idiot who can barely contain his partisanship.
Sometimes I am convinced that her critics don’t have jobs. Recently there was an attempt to label her as a quitter, given that she resigned as governor. Well, where was the media when she resigned as Chairperson of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission? This is what professionals do, they move on to bigger and better things. The choice was to remain governor or make millions in the private sector. Let’s not kid ourselves; we all would make the same decision. Mr. Obama never had that choice as a non political candidate; because he was a failure as a lawyer (he lost asbestos cases).
It is apparent that Sarah Palin faces an uphill battle to the oval office, not only among her opponents, but with saboteurs inside her own party. She lives by her principles, making choices that many of us could not fathom. In the end, she will prevail against the misogynistic cretins that question her aptitude. I am sure of this, because it is what she has done her whole life. God bless Sarah Palin.
