"Just Tell Them...

I have worked 40 years to make the Women's Suffrage platform broad enough for Atheists and Agnostics to stand upon, and now if need be I will fight the next 40 to keep it Catholic enough to permit the straightest Orthodox religionist to speak or pray and count her beads upon."

With Any Luck At All, The Fourth Wave Will be of the Anthonian/ Stantonian Variety

I was musing about Behar and Barr, dissing Sarah Palin with their anti-women, cough, "Feminist" nonsense, as reported at Bloghopenchangery this morning.

Then thinking about the good sense being promulgated at Legal Insurrection, I had this revelation.... and posted it in response to the latter:

Sarah is well on her way. She is appealing to a younger generation of conservatives. And particularly young conservative women.

That can't be a bad thing for Conservatives as a whole. Can it?

I am gonna go one step farther and say that the GOP should be bowing at the altar of John McCain for lifting Sarah from obscurity to be the new face of Conservatism. There is so much genius in that ... I can't really cover it all here. Except to say ...

Liberals have lost their way where feminism is concerned. Sarah has arrived on the scene at a time when she is sorely needed for the next generation of young women. Just as the Third Wave of Feminism has crashed upon the shore with an epic FAIL, by trying to embrace too much "diversity" and "cultural relativism."

The Third Wave's embrace of all things Islam is the harbinger of it's relativistic demise. (And I'll add that it's desire to make a pro-abortion stance it's central tenet ain't helping either.)

Sarah represents the return of a Susan B. Anthony/ Elizabeth Cady-Stanton style of Feminism. Call it the fourth wave if you want. But... I like to think of it as a return to the first wave.

At Least She Has The Courage to Quit: Go Get 'Em Sarah!

I have just returned from four and a half days on the road, studying the history of America's First Wave Feminism, in Seneca Falls and Rochester. Believe me, I am in no mood to put up with any lies about another qualified woman's political motives or intentions. (H/T to Cynthia Yockey for that link.)

UNLIKE SOME POLS WE KNOW, Sarah Palin has far too much integrity to play hooky for the next 18 months. Nor will she allow the State of Alaska to pay for a never-ending string of legal bills to defend her against frivolous ethics accusations and character assassinations.

Ms. Palin is fully capable of fighting her own battles, thank you.

Sorry about the lack of food for HUNGRY MOONBATS round here. Be forewarned, ya'll. This ain't no Third Wave haven for fawning over half-qualified, socially attractive males. "Liberation" through prostitution is not the way Stray Dawg rolls. Palin bashing is off limits here. (As it would have been in the homes of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.)

Oh yeah... and... failure is, indeed, impossible. Go Sarah!
