Why Sarah Palin May Save America – James Lewis – Pajamas Media

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Sarah Palin appeals in a more-than-rational way to all of us. You can make policy arguments for Palin as a GOP president. She is a solid, substantive, conservative thinker. She is open-minded about facts, unlike the current president — who just blocks out any evidence that doesn’t fit his mental party line. The Democrats will never have an original thought. They can only switch from one demagogic cliche to another one.

But like Ronald Reagan, Palin adds something rare and special to a substantive understanding of life and politics.

The left voted for Obama because he was black and looked cute on TV. Their campaign was pure rock star; there was no substance at all. It might have been Michael Jackson up there and they would have gone gaga just the same.

They think in sociological categories: black (check!), male (check!), cute (check!).

Well, Sarah Palin happens to be an articulate, conservative woman who also looks good on TV, thereby defeating all of the left’s stereotypes at a single glance. Add her eloquence and Reaganesque sense of confidence in her principles, and the left just runs out of the room screaming when she comes on TV.

After all, the left claims to own all the women, blacks, gays, and kids as a matter of entitlement. Everybody else is a “traitor to their race,” as they said about Justice Thomas. Or to their gender. On the left you can be a traitor to everything except your country.

The feminist lynch mob went into screech mode when Palin hit the national headlines, and they haven’t stopped yet. You have to go back to the “high-tech lynching” of Clarence Thomas to find them tearing off their smiley faces so blatantly. They really hate any of the designated victims if they dare to act as individuals.

Clarence Thomas coined the phrase “high-tech lynching” when he was viciously assaulted for being uppity — by being nominated for the Supreme Court as a conservative. It’s like “driving while conservative”: you’re automatically damned in the media. Justice Thomas knows what hatred looks like, having been born in the Deep South in the Jim Crow years. That’s what he saw during his nomination battle. It was a hard experience.
