Here’s some of the questions the left is raising about Sarah Palin:

Inexperience: What would she do about the War on Terror if President? Could she handle the job? This is just a way of slyly pointing out that Sarah Palin is a woman. And, you know, women can’t fight wars. Other than Margaret Thatcher and Golda Mier. And lots of other patriotic, educated, thoughtful women.

Motherhood: How can she be a good mother and President? Shouldn’t she be home taking care of her baby? Was John Kennedy a good father? He had small children. Another sly reference to Palin’s sex, and denigrating the abilities of working moms.

Foreign policy: She has no foreign policy experience. Just because she’s Governor of a state that borders two foreign countries, she can’t know anything. Barry Obama knows less. He’s never governed a state, or anything for that matter, and he thinks borders is a bookstore. Joe Biden has never governed anything and he favors breaking up sovereign nations without their permission. We have a State Department and a Defense Department for a reason. Sarah Palin is smart enough to look to the experts when she needs to.

If you are easily shocked, cover your eyes. Sarah Palin does not have a penis. That is the sum total of the left’s criticism of her. At 44, she is not a girl but a woman. She is self-made, a wife and mother, comfortable in the outdoors and in the conference room. She represents everything that the left has been battling for with women’s rights for the last forty years. She is success on that issue.

So, since she does not believe as they do, they attack her as a woman, as weak, inexperienced, as incapable of handling the tough job of President. Just as Clarence Thomas is not black, Sarah Palin cannot be a a “real” woman because she is not a man.
