She visited Asheville not too long ago and I heard her speak. She is an interesting lady, and I'm not sure I have her figured out. I think this is her speech:
Sarah Palin in Asheville

Thought it may be an interesting read...was very wrong...you have no grasp of what a feminist is, and are a huge part of the problem with such a pigeon-holed focus and fear...

ya know what? all you feminist C**Ts have ever done or ever will do is enable men to reign superior -your walking contradictions and have the gender loyalty of a rattler- your biased fat asses are so freaking hypocritical that i want to puke! If ANY WOMAN OPOSESSES YOU AND HAS BELIEFS OF HER OWN TEN YOU ATTACK LIKE A PACK OF ALPHA DOGS!
The reason you all hate Palin is very simple - PETTY COMMON JEALOUSY-She has done what none of you have been able to do- She has made it to the top , maintained her family life ,Husband and children (without her husband screwing around) , and looks great doing it. She didnot allow any one to tell her what to think feel or say- She bowed to NO MAN OR WOMAN! While a very small amount of feminist can actually lay claim to achieving the same accomplishments as Palin the one thing none of you can claim is the fact that "YOU DID IT ALL AND REMAINED A TRUE LADY"

The fact is that it’s pretty generic… many pro-life advocates call themselves feminists too.

I don't anticipate you accept to worry. Any cocky apropos Hillary adherent will see through this GOP created absurdity appropriate away. I absolutely enjoyed this column btw. While I acknowledge the actuality that Sarah Palin is a mother of 5 children, and a woman (though you may beg to differ), that is area our similarities end. I for one am not affairs the whole, "but, but, but you're a woman you just accept to vote for her" arguement. I don't apperceive too abounding able women who will.

You hateful article is exactly the reason that REAL women like Sarah Palin and the real reason that we - like her literally laugh out loud. If you were to say- she doesn't fit your mold for a feminist...maybe we wouldn't hold our noses when you start to speak. Funny the comment policy on this site describes what the author of this article has just done...

Your intolerance of a differing view always make liberal feminist women burst into flames....you'd better call 911 because there are millions of us - just like her. You should be scared...you agenda & beliefs are NOT held by everyone- just those you chose to tolerate.

You make me want to vomit.

I am so glad I don't live in America right now. It really sucks that you only have option A or B, so right wing, bible thumping fanatics or semi left wing opposition.

I'm sure that in 5 years you will be one of those people, that stands on the street corner screaming that we're all going to hell, or that soon we'll be marked by the beast (is this beast that scary half black man attempting to be the president).

Forget logic, proof or just general sense, let's just take out the magic 8 ball and give it a shake, it'll tell us what to do next!

I'm sure in a perfect world, white men like yourself will have total rule over all other minorities (blacks, asians, women etc.) Let's hope.

I haven't figured out why any Hillary supporter, myself included would ever like Sarah Palin. Everything she stands for is against everything Hillary stood for.

You can't handle the truth — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:58:20 -0000

What are your sources for any of this ramble Menstrual Poetry? Are you relying solely on the liberal press to gain dexterity? You are not credible, nor do you speak to others in a respectful manner if they disagree with your VERY VERY slanted liberal position. You speak in circles and I suppose eventual you will catch your tail, but it seems you have done a fabulous job of sticking your foot in your mouth on more than one occasion.

You rely on and maybe even depend on the rights that you hold so dear, however continue to elect big government officials that desire to strip them from you! Just because you have the freedom to speak; doesn't mean that you should speak without knowing all of the facts; not to mention skewing them!

So what is your view point Mrs. NOT Menstrual Poetry on killing babies? Do you think that after a time in the womb it is wrong, or do you think that as soon as the woman decides, after all it's her body; the baby should be aborted? Where does the father play in to this role? Certainly when I was younger I was pro choice, because it fit my selfish desires, i.e. I get a woman preg and she aborts, or at least she better, because I can't worry about taking care of a child. I was not taught abstinence, however I wish I was! I was taught have safe sex and my mother bought me condoms. The more sex I had the more sex I wanted and guess what I didn't use the condoms and I contracted diseases and even got a girl preg. Boy was I happy when the baby aborted! I even prayed that if God would grant me this prayer I would shape up!! I eventually did, but not before contracting an incurable disease. Oh yes, thank you Planned Parenthood for giving more condoms, that I didn't use and curing me of some of my diseases, sucks you couldn't get rid of all of them. Lot of f-ing good the whole safe sex thing did for me! I wasn't raised in a religious environment. My parents were hippies and they loved to party and have multiple partners and what ever felt good! One of them is dead and the other is dying. Since you were a church goer than you know "sins of the flesh"! And btw, being a church goer I was not impressed with your so called knowledge of the Bible. Did you say something about praying in the privacy of your own home? Where does it say that? Or maybe you meant "do not preach from rooftops"! Who knows, it goes back to you speaking in circles, maybe you get confused when there is a heated debate that doesn't fit your forum, or match your political views. Real suprising!

It's nice to see a woman have enough guts to protect women! Has anybody on here spoken how much damage and abortion does to a woman’s body? I know I read the very patient, much laid back gentleman, Mark speak about suicide and the repeat offenders, i.e., multiple abortions. He was way more conservative in his approach than me. Choose abortion; choose to kill. It's that simple. If you plan on f-ing plan on having a kid, cause it can happen. Even to you woman out there that have been told by an expert that it can't. I guess, unless of course you have had your reproductive organs removed. My sincere apologies if that has happened to you, especially if you were hoping to have children. Back to Palin; I admire her views and her steadfast convictions about doing what is right all the time. I used to live in AK and know about the scandals that wreaked havoc on that state. She has done a fabulous job of standing up to both Republicans and Democrats.

Feminism is a discourse that involves various movements, theories, and philosophies which are concerned with the issue of gender difference, advocate equality for women, and campaign for women's rights and interests.[1][2][3][4][5] According to some, the history of feminism can be divided into three waves.[4][6] The first wave was in the nineteenth and early twentieth century’s, the second was in the 1960s and 1970s and the third extends from the 1990s to the present.[7] Feminist theory emerged from these feminist movements.[8][9] It is manifest in a variety of disciplines such as feminist geography, feminist history and feminist literary criticism.

Feminism has altered predominant perspectives in a wide range of areas within Western society, ranging from culture to law. Feminist activists have campaigned for women's legal rights (rights of contract, property rights, voting rights); for women's right to bodily integrity and autonomy, for abortion rights, and for reproductive rights (including access to contraception and quality prenatal care); for protection from domestic violence, sexual harassment and rape;[10][1] for workplace rights, including maternity leave and equal pay; and against other forms of discrimination.[11][12][13]

I have included above Wikipedia's definition of Feminism - As it seems there is some confusion on this Blog about it.

When does an embryo have a heartbeat? Most women, no offense probably don't know, especially the ones considering an abortion. I have included the website below and the information for your review.

www.ehd.org
Vital Systems – The Beating Heart
Only 3 weeks and 1 day after fertilization - the heart begins to beat.1 By 4 weeks; the heart typically beats between 105 and 121 times per minute.2

Hmm, would you consider something that has a heartbeat to be alive, or dead? Furthermore ending the heart beat; would that mean killing something? And finally killing that something (soon to be your child) with out their consent; murder? Well who knows about the last question, right? , because it doesn't really sound dreamy when you talk about killing a child. And I haven't met too many blobs that have heart beats, however I digress.

Back to feminism - It's always interesting to me how, so called feminists vote for an office (Clinton) that is so blatantly disgusting towards women and their rights! I'm sorry what does that mean exactly, Mr. Clinton? I think he thought it meant you have the right to jack me off, or stick my thing in your mouth. And if you tell anybody about it I will lie. NO wait he told the truth, because oral sex isn't really sex. "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!" Gotta love you die hard Clinton fans though, because you "respect a woman that stood by her man"! So you respect either A. an enabler or B. somebody that does whatever it takes to promote their political power, awesome! So if it's B. does that person really give a rats crap what you think? Do they really care about you and your family? Doubt it! Truth sucks; I know!

To the prolife person that dogs Palin for having a baby too old, and being irresponsible. You somehow expect people to accept your views; however you have no tolerance for other people’s views, or opinions, or lifestyles. Except maybe the ones you have adopted from the liberal press. You disgust me!

I already know I am opinionated and have convictions, however at least I have them. While woman still have the right to kill babies; doesn' t mean I have to agree with it. Nor does it mean I have to condemn, or judge you! Just hope that I'm not standing right behind you on Judgement Day! No sense in disputing my last point; I assure you it's going to happen and I don't really care to hear back about your ramblings that it won't! We will all be judged!

Cheers,

NT

p.s. Do either parties really have the lock down? Is not the entire political government of our time corrupt?? The choice seesm rather simple though. Vote for higher taxes and communism, or vote for consistency and lower taxes.

p.s.s. I have looked at Obama closely, maybe too close. I bet you think he's half black/half white, well he's not. He is for change though; changing his mind whenever it suits his needs. Gotta love how he backed out of his church in the final hour. And has anyone on here done a search regarding his family history. Get ready for jaw dropping material.

Peace!

Sara cant be destroyed because millions upon millions of men support her. Sure your liberal journalists and media friends are doing their best but... She still walks on water. You went to far with the bogus Hillary/Obama fight and now you get to taste your own medicine. For 2 years you have been taunting the right... and now your surprised with your bloody nose. You need new leaders who understand respect and limits are as much part of the game as politics and tribalism. Stick your neck out to far and what happens?

This isnt about winning its about survival. 60s Feminism has enjoyed tongue and cheek support with quiet distain for a long time. Sara and her nouveau right wing variety of feminism will have the support of men behind it. Now these right wing women will not be fooled into being simple dupes for men in the political arena. (way to smart). Men simply have to support this new branch on the feminist tree then sit back and enjoy the show. You are up against the ying and yang of humanity... play time is over girls.

Hillary Flintstone — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:03:37 -0000

You could have simply stated that while we dont agree with Sara's politics, its still a good thing that the right now has a power player that should better understand womans issues. We wish her luck and defeat both at the same time.... Done. Slightly positive with a negitive spin. Then you can get on with electing Obama.
But thats not to be... you would rather run this race with 500 lbs of Sara Palin on your backs... good luck and see you at the finish line.

While this is a small distinction (and weeks after the post, I've been without internet and have been trying to catch up), and not related to the main thrust of the post, I still have to say it.
Brandon Teena wasn't gay. (At least, since his murder happened because of his sex with women, I'm going out on that limb there).
The fact is, being trans is not like being "extra gay" as an acquaintence of mine once asked me. Transmen and women have as many sexual identities as cisgendered women and men (which is to say, a whole hell of a lot). And while it is gratifying to see feminist writing acknowledging transphobic murders, it is less exciting when writing on the topic overlooks the difference between gender and sexual identity. (On that note, I'd like to preemptively point out that Gwen Araujo, another tragic victim of transphobia, was also not a gay man).
(This isn't meant to be too much of a rebuke, just a gentle reminder) When writing about trans individuals, please be sure to get pronouns checked, and not assume sexualities. Thank you!

I find it a terrible shame that feminism has reached the point of stagnation. It's all about me woman, me. I don't have to have values, morals, and can work on insignficant things to change rather than thiings worthwhile. Pick on Palin, she's no feminist, don't pick on Clinton because she is. Ah, the reverse is true.
Palin is in a position that all women really would like to be in. She has found that she is treated equally and with respect, she has a husband that supports her career and does his share of family work as she has. No one else rasied their kids and they, at least have manners. And Palin has more experience than Clinton.
Clinton has worked as a lawyer and has held office. Fours years of that office has been spent campaigning. And if you think she has world experience in managing things, she doesn't. She was a First Lady. Now, unless she would like to admit that she ran the country rather than her husband, then perhaps she does have the experience. I have been with both of these women and seen their work. Palin reaches out to every person whether they believe in abortions or not, whether they are gay or not. She is respectful of all people.
Clinton is not respectful of all people. She and her family have been incredibly rude to military members, heard them myself. She does not have good foreign policy, making the King and King Of Sweden, visiting dignitaries to this country by invitation, wait for hours at the entryway of the White House for several hours is bad foreign policy. The Clintons do not have any knowledge of protocol or manners. She stayed and supports a philandering man. As a mother of a young and impressionable daughter. it was very feminist of her.
And why am I so down on the feminist movement? Here's why. Instead of working on the real issues that face women, they call women to change their last name if it ends in man to something else. It's real. It happened to me. And ten years later this same caller became the mayor of Sacramento and decided to spend more than $300,000.00 to run a contest to rename manhole covers. And then more than one million dollars to have the books change to use the new name. When wasting money on something so insignificant rather than to help educate women, provide child care, or health care, then I find myself ashamed of NOW and some so-called feminists. And to diss, put down, degrade Stay at home moms, the ones who volunteer to teach your kids to read or do math while you are busy with your life, is an insult to the real feminists are there and of which I am one.
By the way, Palin doesn't want abstinence only taught as sex education. She wants it taught alongside the present ways,sex education its taught. So please, become informed before you become incensed. Thanks for letting me comment to you,

Hello there,

As human beings we all are different and have different perspectives on life and on what's right and wrong. The fact that Sarah Palin is a Christian and has certain believes and convictions about life, marriage, the environment, etc. does not make her less of a woman. I have similar views and I do not consider myself less a woman because of that. I also do not think that you are less of a woman because of your take on different issues. We all come from different backgrounds, and believe it or not, are all very different, even though we are all human beings. It's great that we live in this country and can fight for what we believe in, but lets not attack each other (especially "woman against woman") because we have different perspectives or believes or whatever you want to call them. You nor I nor Sarah P. are less women because we are pro-life or not, because we don't hunt or do, because we are Christian or not, because we wear pants or not, because we are a liberal or a democrat or a republican, etc. Fight for what you believe in, but try not to hurt anyone, especially your "own", in the process. To me, it is a great accomplisment for a woman to reach such a status in our country. She is still a woman no matter how you portray her, no one can change that. That's the beauty of being a woman or a man or just a human being in this country, you can fight for what you believe in and what you think is right, even when the fight is tough and reaching the goal might seem slow. Fight but with dignity and respect.

Also, your life is what you make it. We all have to take responsability sooner or later. If someone enlist in the army, let it be because they want to serve their country and if not, then let them take responsability for it. I come from a poor family and that didn't make me want to enlist or live off the govenment, on the contrary, it made me want to study hard and go to college. If we would teach our children, from a young age, not just at home but in school and on TV, to be motivated, to reach high, to focus on a goal until reached, etc., etc., there will be a time in those children's life, when they will have to choose and hopefully they will choose to better themselves. Then there will come another moment in their life when they will have to take responsability for the choices they made. I'm not saying we are all the same and that every child would choose the right thing. I understand that there are different difficult circumstances, backgrounds, etc. But if we would make an effort to make this a better world to live in, not by hateful remarks but by working hard and accomplishing what we set our minds on, then we would set a very good example for the next generation. Lets show them hard work, respect, dignity and sobriety.
