Love the photo Noel!

Missing the one that gives it contrast though!

Keep up the great work!

I just don't know why Paglia is so astonished by Palin. I've known women like Palin my entire life. It's called women with common sense.

"This
liberal would be all about socialize -- uh, uh, would be about
basically taking over and the government running all of your companies."-Maxine Waters 2008

That is spoken from a woman who believes in the principles of feminism and does not fall into the "femi-nazi" category. So many feminisits couple their idealogy with a political agenda, just like how the environmentalist movement coupled with a socialist agenda.

I never thought that I would be impressed with something a feminist said... 

for postin this. I read her article right before I checked in on NB tonite.(What can I say, I'm a Drudge junky) I laughed out loud and believe it was very well thought out and written.

Here were some of the other parts of Ms. Paglia's article that I enjoyed:

As I said in my last column,
I have become increasingly uneasy about Obama's efforts to sound folksy
and approachable by reflexively using inner-city African-American tones
and locutions, which as a native of Hawaii he acquired relatively late
in his development and which are painfully wrong for the target
audience of rural working-class whites that he has been trying to
reach. Obama on the road and even in major interviews has been droppin'
his g's like there's no tomorrow. It's analogous to the way stodgy,
portly Al Gore (evidently misadvised by the women in his family and
their feminist pals) tried to zap himself up on the campaign trail into
the happening buff dude that he was not. Both Gore and Obama would have
been better advised to pursue a calm, steady, authoritative persona.
Forget the jokes -- be boring! That, alas, is what reads as masculine
in the U.S.

Pow! Wham! The Republicans unleashed a doozy -- one of the most stunning surprises that I have ever witnessed in my adult life.

 As a dissident feminist, I have been arguing since my arrival on the
scene nearly 20 years ago that young American women aspiring to
political power should be studying military history rather than taking
women's studies courses, with their rote agenda of never-ending
grievances.

Sarah Palin is like Annie Oakley, a brash ambassador from America's
pioneer past. She immediately reminded me of the frontier women of the
Western states, which first granted women the right to vote after the
Civil War -- long before the federal amendment guaranteeing universal
woman suffrage was passed in 1919. Frontier women faced the same harsh
challenges and had to tackle the same chores as men did -- which is why
men could regard them as equals, unlike the genteel, corseted ladies of
the Eastern seaboard, which fought granting women the vote right to the
bitter end.

One reason I live in the leafy suburbs of Philadelphia and have never
moved to New York or Washington is that, as a cultural analyst, I want
to remain in touch with the mainstream of American life. I frequent
fast-food restaurants, shop at the mall, and periodically visit
Wal-Mart (its bird-seed section is nonpareil). Like Los Angeles and San
Francisco, Manhattan and Washington occupy their own mental zones --
nice to visit but not a place to stay if you value independent thought
these days. Ambitious professionals in those cities, if they want to
preserve their social networks, are very vulnerable to received
opinion. At receptions and parties (which I hate), they're sitting
ducks. They have to go along to get along -- poor dears!

But what of Palin's pro-life stand? Creationism taught in schools? Book
banning? Gay conversions? The Iraq war as God's plan? Zionism as a
prelude to the apocalypse? We'll see how these big issues shake out.
Right now, I don't believe much of what I read or hear about Palin in
the media. To automatically assume that she is a religious fanatic who
has embraced the most extreme ideas of her local church is exactly the
kind of careless reasoning that has been unjustly applied to Barack
Obama, whom the right wing is still trying to tar with the fulminating
anti-American sermons of his longtime preacher, Jeremiah Wright.(e.m.)

She bashes Barry's delivery, gives the Republicans the credit they deserve, offers sound advice to young ladies of this country, very astutely nails one of the major facets of Mrs. Palin's appeal,  calls out her media contemporaries group think tendencies and reminds her readers to be skeptical of said manufactured opinion outlets. 

I reckon a person could probably learn sumthin in one of her classes at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. But since registration is over for the fall, I recommend reading her entire piece. 

If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you.

Camille Paglia is a true feminist, unlike the Gloria Steinems of this world who over the years have put their political beliefs ahead of equality for women and women's interest. Rush Limbaugh describes these so-called "feminist" as feminazis. He says: "Feminazis are liberals first.  It's incidental that they are female."

Speaking of Rush, he and Camille Paglia have a mutual admiration for each other. Rush said recently "Camille Paglia, a big Obamaite, and, as you know, I have tremendous respect for Camille Paglia, Camille Paglia said that Sarah Palin's speech with McCain last week was the best by a woman in US politics that she has ever heard."

When Rush celebrated his 20-year anniversary earlier this year Camille Paglia left this message for Rush: "Hello, Rush, this is Camille Paglia, a staunch supporter of Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi. Many congratulations on your amazing career as a political analyst and ace broadcaster. You single-handedly saved and revolutionized AM radio."

The liberal media continues to sacrifice ethics and morals for the greater cause: This time for the Election of a Democrat to the Presidency of the United States.

Best comment I've read all day.

First I want to say thanks to NB and all the great posts this last week. I hope you guys are getting some sleep, I realise it's like shooting fish in a barrel lately.

The best comment I've read comes from PJ's own DuFu.

This guy has it in a nutshell, and the MSM will never, ever get it.

THIS IS OUR GAME CHANGER, FOLKS!

Is this the 33rd game changer this week? Or the 34th? The previous
"game changers" have resulted in a substantial shift in favor of
McCain/Palin. I thought it was a game changer when DUmmies exposed
Palin as a White Supremacist? Or when they exposed her fake pregnancy?
Or her book banning time machine? Or her secession dreams? Or...well,
you get the picture.

By all means, DUmmies, have some more rope. You attack, she gets more
popular. Meanwhile Obamessiah cannot campaign in key states because he
has to fund raise in 45,000 sq ft San Francisco mansions due to his
genius decision to forgo public financing. That should play well with
the "gun clingers" in Pennsylvania. While McCain and Palin are
campaigning in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Talking to working
class people and independents, drawing pretty sizeable crowds. I never
in a million years would have thought McCain would be President, but I
refused to believe that once again the Democrats would snatch defeat
out of the jaws of victory. I am humble enough to admit when I am
wrong. Unless Obama pulls his head out of his ass, yesterday, he will
go down in history as the most spectacular choke artist in electoral
history. Simply amazing.

This concept of a muscular feminism could also be described as a kind of "masculine" feminism.  Now take that and put it up against the "feminine" masculinism of a guy like Joe Biden.  Man, (or woman)  the possibilities are very....intriguing. 

Liberalism, more than anything else, has wreaked havoc (or in Obamaese: "wrecked" havoc) on the American male.  To a Lib, if a man is strong and resolute, he is intolerant and unsophisticated.   If he is weak and wavering, he is open-minded and nuanced.  This won't fly in a debate format.  People will spot a loser a million miles away. 

I think that Joe Biden knows this down there where his testes live and he is turning white.  He knows that Sarah is going to clean his clock (with Windex!).  And Sarah is just taking it nice and easy.  She knows who she is.  And she knows who Joe Biden is (and isn't).  I can't wait to see them face off.  Biden is palin' and Palen is bidin'. 

She has summed it all up rather succinctly and eloquently. Instead of the feminists celebrating their woman-ness and pushing for their intellectual and political equality with men, they tried to make women just like men. That's where abortion is so important to them. When that didn't work too well, they tried to feminize men in order to shrink the 'gap'. That's why homosexuality is so important to them. The differences are there for a reason and they should be acknowledged and reveled in, not covered up as if they were something to be ashamed of.

The day that "politician" became a career choice is the day we started losing the Republic. Let's get it back! Alan Keyes '08.

Yes, Yes, Yes!
