But I’m arguing against the “lies” being spewed everyday even in conservative blogs that “conservatism is dead” and any leader professing to be conservative is nothing but a hypocrite. I’m particularly targeting blogsites like HotAir that accuse Sarah of being a hypocrite and a damaged good.

In case of Sarah, I’m speaking of her stand on abstinence and abortion.

I’m flabbergasted by the left’s smear of Palin on abstinence. For me, the Palins are a literal example of why “safe sex” doesn’t work. Bristol, a pro-safe sex teenager, reaped the sad consequence of her belief. She never listened to her mother, who also learned her lesson based on experience (I’m referring to the allegation that Palin also got pregnant out of wedlock.) Safe sex didn’t work well for them as it doesn’t guarantee anything. Both Sarah and Bristol learned that from experience.

On the issue of abortion, we never fault both Sarah and her daughter, Bristol. Babies, regardless of circumstance, are GIFT OF LIFE (GOD for believers). The greatest moments in my own life were when I saw my children for the first time when they were born. I feel so proud and yet so humbled. Seeing my babies trivialized everything in my life including sex.

Don’t get me wrong. I have my own issues against Sarah (thanks to Achance and AKSteve – LOL) especially in her concept of “bipartisanship”, the very sin of GWB. But lately I’m seeing some light in the tunnel. She’s starting to make amends with her fellow AK republicans. She’s beginning to realize that her only chance is the support of republicans like her. Her encouraging words with Sen. Murkowski is a good start. I wish her and the Alaskans good luck in these troubling times.

I like Palin, Jindal, Cantor, and Ryan. I also like the not-so-young leaders like Sanford* (48), Pence (49), and Murkowski** (51) . These four are our future. We should support and pray for them …. THAT THE ALMIGHTY GOD GIVE THEM WISDOM (a much superior gift than knowledge.)

And I hope that I am wrong in not knowing the “other young conservatives” not yet included in my list.

*Please note that I have strong issues in his governance of SC but I support his stand on the bailout.

**We need more Catholics on our side. Lisa is one of the good Catholics. Sen. Mel Martinez is not going any younger. Lisa, along with Sen. Mel, can be one of our speakers to our Catholic brothers and sisters. I’m a baptist but in terms of social issues, I am not so different from the Catholics.

I don’t think Mrs Palin belongs in that group.
Like Uncle Ronnie, she doesn’t have to “try” to be conservative.
A true conservative doesn’t have to “try”.
When I first heard her speak, I fell in love with the natural flow of conservatism that came from her. And the more I heard, the more I liked.
It isn’t hard when it’s in your heart, like with Mrs. Palin, and not like her running mate McLooser.

She delegitimizes their whole existence. She is the female Clarence Thomas. She single handedly destroys modern feminist theory. She never bought into victimization and liberal dogma. She is a product of the last frontier.

She has a huge family and still is a successful professional. She married her high school sweeheart and is still happily married. She is a “social conservative” and she is still hip and sexy.

To a liberal, social crusades give their empty lives meaning. Femisnists bought into the line of thinking that they are victims. They are divorced “because they are professional women and their jobs are too demanding.” They never had kids “because they were too ambitious and didnt have time.” They left small town America “because they could only find equaltiy in liberal cities, wher ethere was no good old boy network.” They married metrosexual sissies “because senisitive men are the only real men who will stand by a successful woman and not be insecure”.

Get it. Palin goes right to their nerves. She is everything they are not. She has everything, they beleive they had to sacrifice to get what little they have. She exposes the fallacy of liberalism and feminsism. She exposes their lives as shams. She never baught into victimization and she has it all and they hate her for it. They are bitter. She undermines their whole worldview; the whole liberal worldview.

She is as American as apple pie. This is why she is so important to the cause. This is what young girls need. This is what the youth needs.

It’s an old story. Boy meets girl. Boy gets girl pregnant. Boy doesn’t marry girl. Girl’s family gets mad at boy. There seems to be absolutely nothing newsworthy about the whole affair. Unlike Ashley Biden’s case, no crime is involved. Unlike John Edward’s love child, no public figure was directly involved in the making of this baby. Yet the media’s reporting of Ms Palin’s baby contrasts with their reluctance to report on John Edward’s kid.

The sad thing is that the expolitation of Mr Johnson and Ms Palin is going to make it very hard for them to ever reconcile, get married and make a proper home for themselves and their baby. This little family will be paying the price for this exposure long after the liberal media has found some other club to bash Republicans with.

The real story here is the values of the Democratic Party and their media allies which are willing to turn a young couple and their child into political roadkill.

Maybe, just maybe, if we start dragging the names of family members and friends of Dem officeholders (and the like) through the mud, they might back off.

Of course, I tend to think they’re all sociopaths who will stop at nothing, and will gladly throw family members under the bus. If that turns out to be the case, at least we can be satisfied with knowing that we fought fire with fire.

(And Indy voters will whinge and moan, but they’re all liars – Dems pulling the names of our guys’ families through the mud has totally worked for the Left, especially with Indy voters. So we need to do the same to the Dems.)

But no more Mr. Nice Guy. We need to go totally nuclear on the other side…

She needs to continue to improve the way she is perceived by independents and Reagan Democrats. She needs to build a good organization, which a chief of staff/senior policy advisor like Fred Thompson who would kick butt and take names.
