“American women are so fortunate to live in the greatest country on Earth.”

By Michelle Malkin • September 21, 2008 01:14 AM

Amen, Mrs. Schlafly!

The feminist tirades against Sarah are mostly so tiresome, but one line of their complaints is really funny. After 40 years of telling wives and mothers to get out of the home (which Betty Friedan called “a comfortable concentration camp”), put their children in day care (tax-funded, of course) and join the workforce, these same feminists now tell Sarah to stay home with her children.

Sarah doesn’t need feminist approval for her lifestyle; the only person whose OK she needs for her double career as mother and politician is her husband’s, and he seems very happy with Sarah.

Sarah Palin is an exemplar of a successful, can-do woman, and the feminists simply don’t know how to deal with her. I hope she will usher in a new era where conventional wisdom recognizes that feminist negativism is ancient history and American women are so fortunate to live in the greatest country on Earth.

Wow, that’s the first time anyone’s ever accused me of being a liberal…this should come as a shock to anyone who knows me, including the liberals who hate my guts.

I never questioned that you knew someone who had molested forty or fifty children. I believe you. I’ve never not believed you. I’m sure they were, and I’m very sorry that that happened. It’s a horrible thing to happen to a person.

I just don’t think that “I knew a homosexual who molested children” is a good argument when it comes to talking about gay people as a whole. He’s as much a homosexual as straight child molestors are heterosexuals. If you say he was gay (I assume you mean in the “had sex with adult men” way), I believe you. The relevent factor is that he’s a pedophile, not that he’s gay. He’s not a typical gay person, and straight child molestors aren’t typical straight people. Pedophilia is its own weird breed of deranged and damaging. I don’t think anyone is a child molestor because they’re gay. I think they’re child molestors because they’re child molestors.

Maybe I wasn’t as clear as I could have been, but I don’t think it’s fair of you to accuse me of thinking things I never said, like that I question what you saw with your own eyes.

Anyway, we’re on the same side on the main thing here: pedophiles are horrible and child molestation is a terrible thing. Your friends went through an awful ordeal. Take olive branch?

Just remember, tolerance and acceptance are two very different things and neither should be confused with the other.

Just because someone is tolerant of a situation or a person or an act etc., does NOT mean that they accept what that act is, the person is doing or has done etc.

Therein lies the problem. Too many people equate tolerance with acceptance.

Since when has liberalism ever been considered by the majority of Americans as “mainstream?”

If anything, Conservatism has been the norm in America, until the past forty years, when the radicals infiltrated every area of the media, academia, and governmental agencies.
