"I like Sarah Palin, and I've heartily enjoyed her arrival on the national stage. As a career classroom teacher, I can see how smart she is -- and quite frankly, I think the people who don't see it are the stupid ones, wrapped in the fuzzy mummy-gauze of their own worn-out partisan dogma. So she doesn't speak the King's English -- big whoop! There is a powerful clarity of consciousness in her eyes. She uses language with the jumps, breaks and rippling momentum of a be-bop saxophonist. I stand on what I said (as a staunch pro-choice advocate) in my last two columns -- that Palin as a pro-life wife, mother and ambitious professional represents the next big shift in feminism. Pro-life women will save feminism by expanding it, particularly into the more traditional Third World."
"As for the Democrats who sneered and howled that Palin was unprepared to be a vice-presidential nominee -- what navel-gazing hypocrisy!"
Camille Paglia is SO FAR TO THE LEFT, but egad---she speaks such logic in this column. It's worth a read, especially where she talks about Bernadine Dohrn. Those of us who actually lived through the turbulent 60's understand the brutality and blatant cruelty of the supposed anti-war movement, and the cr*p that came out of their mouths still is stunning to anyone with any sense or love of their country. They still have no shame, and for that they should be condemned and treated like the criminals they were.
