Opposing Views: Sarah Palin to Headline Wisconsin Right-to-Life Event

Sarah Palin to Headline Wisconsin Right-to-Life Event

Opinion by Jill Stanek
(October 20, 2009) in Politics / Abortion

The press release came via email yesterday...

... and I was as pleasantly surprised as anyone. I asked Wisconsin Right to Life president Barb Lyons to dish details, and she responded:

We have been trying to get her for a year. We just found out Friday that we had her and had to wait until yesterday to release the info.... We are incredibly excited!

Me, too!

Palin's book, Going Rogue, is scheduled for release only 11 days after this event, on November 17, so the media should be worked into a frenzy.

This is Palin's 2nd speaking engagement at a pro-life banquet following her run for VP, the first being April 16 at Vanderburgh Co. Right to Life's banquet in IN, which says a lot about her deep and continued pro-life convictions.

Tickets to the Palin event at Wisconsin Right to Life are $30 each, limit 4. If I can arrange a flight to get back in time from another engagement, I'm going!

Regarding Opinion

exceptional patriot

which is the reason she is rejected and ridiculed by the left. The leftists have inbred and proliferated to the point they are a majority...thusly we have Obama.

It will take a new generation of decent, honest Americans with a lack of progressive anti American philosophies to resurrect the country to a state of honor, decency and integrity.

- over 1/2 of Americans
  
  are inbred, indecent, dishonest and without a sense of honor, decency and integrity?
  
  Palin alone lost the election for McCain. She is a moron and overly sensitive. Quit an elected position to go and make more money as a "rouge" speaker... Talk about honor, decency and integrity!
  
  I see your inbred non-freethinking (possibly bigot)self shining through you intelligent exterior.

- Or
  
  I just think her economic policies border on the absurd and she is too socially conservative for my tastes.
  
  Most importantly though, I thought she was moron who knew nothing about anything besides where she stood on social issues.
  
  While I disagreed with McCain on issues, they were mostly philosophical (some of his economic ideas he had were just wrong, rather than philosophically different, but whatever, so was Obama). I never actually thought he was stupid or incompetent, can't say the same of Palin though.
  
  Or, maybe I'm just un-America. I don't know. Good thing I have retained my dual citizenship over the years in case I ever need to leave the US when I become so disgusted with it!

- In observation
  
  I have surfed the different topics and the remarks of many. There are a couple of commenters (no mention of names) that must feel as Einstein did when surrounded by those that were less intelligent than he.
  
  They rejected him as a participant in routine matters of which they perceived as important, The reason he was rejected was his superior ability to analyze, explain and understand. Analogous to an adult playing with five year old children ;the children prefer an equal to play with so there is no perceived advantage.
  
  If you read this, the intelligent ones will know of whom I have described, others will be quick to jump on the bandwagon of criticism and make ridiculous comment.

  - Fail
    
    In the spirit of charity, we should permit this post to be remade.
    
    But next time it shall have a proposition of some kind, support for the proposition of some substance whatsoever, and it will not needless invoke Einstein in a fashion nearly as backwards as using his quotes to claim he was evangelical.
    
    Or an apology, at least, for begging the question with a self-fulfilliny strawman. I swear, sometimes I think people stop by and just try to make up something foolish to bait the crowd...

- I'm going to ridicule her because she's ridiculous
  
  Also, pretty dumb.
  I promise to not make any "Sarah Palin is a patriot" jokes and stick with my "Sarah Palin thinks there are 22 letters in the alphabet" jokes.

  - Yeah, she's so dumb...
    
    She don't even know the capitals to all 57 states.
    
    She's so dumb, she thinks kids with asthma, need Breathalyzers.
    
    She's so dumb, she thought Nancy Reagan did séances.
    
    She's so dumb she introduced Joe Biden as the next President.
    
    She's so dumb, she thinks Israel is a strong friend of Israel.
    
    She's so dumb, she saw an unbroken line of fallen heroes in the audience to which she was speaking.
    
    Good times =)

Singularity

Is what my psyche collapses into capitulating to the complete suckness of someone paying money to listen to Sarah Palin talk.

Similar to the effect of listenning to Sarah Palin talk, but a lot less funny.

This sham (even for a US politician) is a train wreck. She wrecked one campaign and quit her job in the face of scutiny, all the while completely unapologetic for her constant and complete ignorance and hypocrisy.

I hope John stops by and punches her in the face. And then sends her a bill for all that makeup they bought her last year.

- If all that was true, you'd simply ignore her.
  
  But.... You can't.
  
  (We know why.)

  - I'm so hot for her
    
    It's hard to ignore impending doom; like trying to not look at a train wreck.
    
    I worry for my more conservative fellow citizens and the Alaskans. And hockey moms...

I like Sarah Palin.

Now, now, put the daggers away.

Sarah Palin practiced what she preached. She learned that her baby was stricken with Down's Syndrome. She could have aborted, but chose to carry him to term and loves him.

The reason so many people hate her is that she is the counter-argument to the women 's right movement. She is a successful woman with a family and kids and refused the abortion when nobody would have looked down on her for aborting.

That doesn't mean /you/ have to make the same choice, it means she practiced what she preached.

- Here's where you're wrong:
  
  You said:
  The reason so many people hate her is that she is the counter-argument to the women 's right movement. She is a successful woman with a family and kids and refused the abortion when nobody would have looked down on her for aborting.
  
  She's not the counter-argument to the women's rights movement.
  
  Being a successful woman is a goal she has achieved with the help of the women's rights movement. Her right to make a choice about her own pregnancy has been earned by the women's rights movement.
  
  The reason *I* can't stand her is that she actively works against other women making choices that she doesn't agree with. She can practice and she can preach (and preach and preach and preach) but I'm certainly not going to vote for someone who attempts to codify and enforce her personal beliefs on others.
  
  Feminists want women to be able to make their own choices regardless of what those choices are. Sarah Palin has been able to make her own choices, but she works against the rights of other women to do the same.
  
  So yeah, I won't vote for her.

    "She can practice and she can preach (and preach and preach and preach) but I'm certainly not going to vote for someone who attempts to codify and enforce her personal beliefs on others."
    
    If you voted for him, you are a hypocrite, then. You just hate Mrs. Palin and are scrambling for a reason why. That's sad.

    - Please try to make sense.
      
      First, what does Sarah Palin's attempt to legislate based upon her fundamentalist religious beliefs have to do with Obama?
      
      Second, I clearly stated my issue with Sarah Palin. No scrambling involved. Why the accusation of hypocrisy?
