Palin Pick Reveals Sexism Alive and Well

When I heard McCain’s pick the only thing I knew of Palin was that she was suing the feds over the polar bear issue. That in itself spoke highly of her in my mind. People who demagogue environmental issues likely don’t know much about the real world. In the environmental world, Polar bears are cute and cuddly and are on the brink of extinction because Al Gore says that the polar caps are melting and polar bears will just be the first species of a massive global extinction. WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE! People who live in the real world know that we are all going to die and that it is a part of living. While we are here among the living we would like to focus on enjoying life, that includes not getting eaten by a Polar Bear. Yes, little Timmy, Polar Bears eat people when they can. Protecting un-endangered Polar Bears has real world consequences. Jobs are lost, millions are spent, people take second place to animals who, as I understand it, are thriving.


The more I learned of Palin, the more I came to admire her. She’s the mother of Five, that’s quite an accomplishment in it’s self, when they were all conceived with her husband it is. She’s got real world experience that Obama can’t dream to match and wouldn’t desire to. Tell me, has Obama ever done anything real in his life. Academic, Community Organizer, Legislator, Senator. Explain to me how any of that is real world experience. Out here in the Real World people have jobs and earn a living. John McCain is a creature of the real world. A son of privilege he didn’t avoid the dirtiest job in the world, that of warrior. Not an incidental, happened to be there warrior, one who was true to his brothers in arms under the most atrocious circumstances. Barry O may be just as true a warrior, but we will never know because Barry O would never deign to join the real world and actually take it upon himself to do anything. He certainly wouldn’t be working the rail of a commercial fishing vessel.


Palin fought corruption, Barry O pals around with corruption, terrorists, bigots, etc. If Palin were the known associate of Rezko, Ayers, Wright or individuals like them, I wouldn’t support her either. Is that guilt by association? No, it is an example of extremely poor judgment. Executives must exercise good judgment, if you have good judgment you can surround yourself with people who have the expertise to help you make informed decisions. There is no person in the world who possesses the experience of being the leader of the free world, except the very short list of former U.S. Presidents. How did they handle the job? By choosing a cabinet that reflected their world view like every other U.S. President in history. Judgment is key, experience reveals judgment. Every body makes mistakes, how do you handle them when you do? Barry O is resistant to even acknowledging he made a mistake, (Can you say Obama-Clinton 08?), he dodges anything that resembles controversy. How many times did he vote “Present?”


So the more I know of Sarah Palin the more I like her, this morning there are people all over the political spectrum fit to be tied that she’s a woman. Yes a woman, go ask your mom, Timmy, she’ll explain what a woman is.


If you haven’t picked up on it, I don’t like Barry O. You haven’t heard me here, or any where else mention that he is a person of color. Notice I didn’t say of a different race? Race is a social construct, gender is a natural construct, again, ask your mom, Timmy. Color is irrelevant, it doesn’t determine a person’s judgment, therefore it shouldn’t be used to judge another person.


Women are different than Men, feminists are fit to be tied about that, but those of us in the real world understand there are differences and we deeply appreciate that there are. I hope Timmy stopped reading before I said that. Women perceived things differently, react differently, love differently, but they are not inferior to men. There are jobs that women are ill suited to, but being an executive is not one of them. If you don’t believe a woman can exercise good judgment you need to go talk to your mother.


If you take a controversial stand, you had better be prepared to defend your position in an intelligent way, I’ve yet to hear Sarah Palin say, “That’s above my pay grade.” On that alone she is more qualified to be president than Barak Obama.
