Revisiting stuff that was right then, and still is

“   There are numerous reasons why so many liberal women hate and fear Sarah Palin. However, with the exception of her pro-life stance and perhaps her Christianity, it is not really her "principle-centered policies" that cause the foam-at-the-mouth hissyfits that afflict Palinophobes. They hate her on a much more personal level. - Alana Marie Burke ”

Sometimes people are spot-on about something, but it's not confirmable until later. I recalled a post I made (on December 06, 2009, as it turns out) and went looking for it.  It rhetorically asked,  "Who's afraid of Sarah Palin."  I knew it was an insightful bulls-eye then, and still do, so it's worth revisiting. “ Palin's folksy demeanor, faulty diction and lack of elitist education, combined with pervasive appeal, are what drive her haters nuts. Ultra-liberal feminists detest that a moose-hunting everymom was able to rise to the top of the heap when so many elitist feminists rest on their lily-white laurels and pat themselves on the back for their "enlightened" political views while accomplishing very little. Unplugged The average Jane admires Palin for her ability to forge a path from obscurity to relative power while sticking to her beliefs (and guns), but more than half of Americans view her unfavorably. Yet, despite Palin's low approval numbers, liberals still fear her. Perhaps it is because Palin's view that "This is America and every woman can walk through every door of opportunity" could mobilize enough support from politically disenchanted women to harness a viable voting bloc. It is interesting to note that more men than women believe Palin is qualified to be president - perhaps because they are not personally threatened by her and find the combination of pit bull and femininity intriguing. ” Other observations made by Ms. Burke include:: New York Times columnist David Brooks called Palin a "fatal cancer to the Republican party." If this is accurate, then why are Democrats bent on discrediting her? Wouldn't they do well to let her keep her hopes up and let that cancer fester? Despite their intentions to tear Palin down, her hate club is doing her a great favor with their incessant chatter, which inflames her base and keeps her in the news. If the chatter continues, before they know it, Palin might be on that 2012 ticket. Sarah of course went on to challenge the Republican Party's 2010 hand picked RINOs with her own, mostly nobodies who were actual conservatives. Most of whom won office.  The Left's abject horror over the specter of Sarah Palin with power continues unabated. Giddy-up.
