Guns, guns, guns. Did she forget to bash the Constitution and it’s silly Second Amendment?

(That clingy NRA lifer!)

…but I found a story that shows the true heart and soul of a Down Syndrome person last nite, and linked to it in my diary.

Maybe I should send a link to the story to the harpy Dowd.

either Dowdy Maureen or Clift and they both resent that. Additionally, Palin is happily married with a family – something that often eludes liberal ‘career’ women.

MoDo, with her lipstick too bright and stare too intense – is trying too hard… Kinda sad actually. Her editorials were interesting 15 years ago, now they are just rabid frothing.

As Dowd enters the “old maid” stage of her life, with nothing to show for it but some dusty columns, her hatred for those unlike her is becoming clear.

She just can’t fathom being happy, particularly with such burdens as morals, convictions, children and a husband. So, she seethes, and her columns give a glimpse into the emptiness of her life.

Time for pint of ice cream and another cat, Maureen. Sad, really.

In a word, why women like Maureen Dowd hate Sarah Palin:

Fear.

Women of her ilk delay child bearing in deference to their careers. Thus, when they decide it’s time, around 35 or so, their pregnancies have a much, much greater incidence of Down Syndrome. They don’t want to have to start feeling bad about killing those babies and trying again until they get perfect little mini-mes. I’ll bet Dowd knows 10 or 15 women who have had their Down Syndrome kids sucked into a sink. I wouldn’t want to feel guilty about that kind of holocaust — would you?

Dowd might not like protestants. But she sure ain’t Catholic. She’s the perfect post-modern female citizen of the world: obsessed with maintaining the appearance of youth, alone, bitter and desperate. Everything Sarah Palin is not. I would certainly hate her if I were Dowd. She represents the road not traveled. Family, femininity, masculinity, nature, faith, hope and accomplishment. The American frontier story, not the decadent urban tale that resembles a talky, stultifyingly dull French film.

old bitties…..I ignore everything she says and my life is happier for it…..I believe she writes for the paper that is on a slow death roll….that is satisfaction enough for me.

I have the utmost respect for VP Cheney, but Sarah brings a bold, youthful excitement to the ticket. An excitement that the McCain campaign needed to steal some of the attention from Obama. I’m sure the left will come up with some derogatory metaphor for Sarah, but it won’t be Darth Vader. Sarah breaks the mold of “just another white guy” for the GOP. She is Dowd’s worst nightmare because she proves that woman can be successful and have a great family. Let’s not forget Mr. Palin. He proves that you can be a strong man and still be partner to a successful wife.

It’s all good, Ms. Dowd…

Sorry…

…spinster, trying to sate her bitterness by (attempting to, and failing at) tearing down an attractive, successful mother of five. Typical of the intramural jealousies of the “thought they could have it all” (and not-aging-very-gracefully) feminist pioneers. Doesn’t help Ms. Dowd’s temper that Ms. Palin still is beautiful, while Ms. Dowd apparently was at one time.

Ms. Palin goes home at night to a family who loves her. Ms. Dowd goes home to her cats.

I’ve wondered for a very long time now what exactly the term ‘evangelical’ means. It’s used all the time by so many, even conservatives like O’Reilly and others. I’ve always believed that all Christians are ‘evangelicals’ in some way or another, since they are called to bring others into the Christian way of living by ‘spreading the word”. It doesn’t mean you go out and drag resistant people to church against their will or create ‘jihad’ to impose it on the world.

I know people like Dowd means it to be derogatory and demeaning; but her meaningless definitions should be ignored.

There are many examples of scientists of renown who find no conflict in being both Chrisitan and believe in evolution.

Mr. Hunter is right when he says Dowd doesn’t much care for the fact that Mrs. Palin and her husband chose to have a child with Down Syndrome to love and cherish. I think she finds it necessary to denigrate such an action in order to justify her own beliefs and lifestyles. She can’t even conceive of having a child to love; never mind one that she would consider non-perfect and disposable. The Palin’s don’t look at this baby as anything but a blessing. It must be a difficult concept for Dowd to contemplate.

At last someone like Sara Palin comes forward to truly represent women. People like Dowd have never represented me.

“A Child, more than all other gifts
that earth can offer to declining man,
brings hope with it, and forward looking thoughts.”
Wordsworth

I never read anything written by this bitter old hag until her “VP in go go boots” article. I cringed at her tastless, tacky, childish, envious words. I will be sure to never make the mistake of reading anything she writes again.
