Sarah!
Nice article entitled "The Day Sarah Palin Kneecapped Feminism". El Rushbo hisself has speculated that feminism has a suspicious basis. With tongue in cheek he has said:
Referring to No. 24 on his list of "35 Undeniable Truths of Life," nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh stated that "feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society."
So they marched, paraded and complained of the inequities of it all. The elite feminist made gains that they believed in and kept a tight rein on what was acceptable in mainstream society.
That changed on September 3, 2008, when Sarah Palin accepted her vice-presidential nomination at the Republican convention in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Her speech electrified the nation.
Before 39-million viewers, Palin was the first public figure to openly and successfully ridicule the hitherto untouchable Barack Obama. She also was the first American woman to campaign for high office by paying homage, but no ideological dues, to the Sisterhood. This Alaskan small-town huntin’, fishin’ God-fearin,’ abortion-hatin’ mom of five showed that a woman can break through any glass ceiling she wants without the imprimatur of the feminist politburo.
With that speech Sarah Palin set a new standard. One not defined by the feminist elites. One defined by effort, goals, and values.
