Sarah Palin Losing Ground With "Real Women"

I have long questioned how anyone can call themselves a "Christian" and support or turn a blind eye to the hate, violence and racism of Sarah from Alaska. I have especially been baffled by the women who support her. Most women that I know have a maternal instinct and would never use or throw their own children under the bus for any reason. Most women cry when they see an animal in pain or dying. Not Sarah! Sarah proudly announces that "Real Women" shoot moose! (As seen on the bag she carries) Sarah also states that they hunt for "sport" as well. I don't know any women like that but maybe I just don't feel the need to know any women like that.

I also don't feel the need to "know" any "Christians" who would support, condone or turn a blind eye to the invoking of violence, hate and racism. That is not the kind of world I want my granddaughter to be left with. I am still waiting for the "Real Christians" to stand up and say not in our Country! I'm still waiting for the "Real Christians" to stand up and say we will not support a Known Liar who uses God and is a False Profit, For Profit. I'm still waiting for the "Real Americans" to stand up and say you will not take us backwards, you will not cause division in our Country so that you can get rich on our fears and anger....still waiting...but maybe someone is standing up and maybe Alaskans are ready to tell the rest of us what they know?~Mem

For some reason, Sarah Palin and her acolytes, or as she likes to call them, the “mama grizzlies,” want us to believe that politically conservative mothers speak for all mothers and that they have a corner on the political motherhood market.

Sure, I’m glad that women, especially mothers, of all political persuasions are finding and exercising their political voices, especially the ones who realize they can do it without demonizing the opposition. That’s why I’m so excited that over 50 amazing mothers of various political stripes agreed to be featured in my Mothers of Intention book that will be coming out late this fall thanks to the amazing people (especially Lucy Chambers!) at Bright Sky Press. In addition to great essays, the book explores the political revolution women and mothers are building online and through social media.

So I have to take exception to Palin trying to horn in on the political mom territory by implying through her rhetoric and advertising that her right-wing supporters are the ones who created this. They didn’t. We were out here shaking things up when she was still visiting the Beehive Beauty Shop to have her hair done in her pre-governor days.
