Attacking Sarah Palin

Is it just me or are Hollywood Celebrities, Talk Show Host and Politicians opposing Sarah Palin getting more and more arrogant and condescending toward Middle Class Americans? They are entitled to their opinions about Sarah Palin, but when they attack her for taking 5.5 years to get a 4 year degree. For not attending a prestigious College. For not coming from money, for her Parents being School Teachers. For having a Child with Down Syndrome and a Grandchild born out of wedlock. For shopping at Wal-Mart, for hunting and killing her food, then aren't they kind of making fun of us? If these people don't agree with her Politics, then that is fine. But by attacking her personally they are attacking most of us as well.

I think this is why so many Americans are starting to rally behind Palin. Most people who do see what is happening in America are also starting to see the "wealthy, elite" attitude that so many of these people have. Martha Stewart for example said, Palin was boring, dangerous and confused. When asked if she had seen an interview with Palin, Stewart said, "I wouldn't watch her if you paid me." Then how does she know that Palin is boring, dangerous and confused? Rosie O'Donnell said when asked about Palin, "I don't watch it, I don't think about it, I don't read it." Call me strange but I like to hear what someone has to say before I reach a conclusion about them.

My own Mother is a Palin hater. She has the "Palin derangement syndrome" as I like to call it. We were in a heated Political discussion when my Mom said to me that Palin was "so stupid." I asked, if she had ever seen her in a debate or an interview. She said no, but that she had seen David Letterman and Tina Fey make fun of her. I said, "well their mission was accomplished, wasn't it?" Then, I had to explain how "left" Letterman, Fey and most of Hollywood are, and their agenda is to make people who don't follow Politics closely think that Palin is an idiot....and obviously it works.

I grew up with hard core Democrats as Parents. All I ever heard was Republicans are for big Business and Democrats are for the Little Man. That may have been true 45 years ago, but it seems to me like today's "Liberal" Democrat is for making fun of the "Little Man". It is more about the wealth and the power. Politicians and Hollywood are becoming more intertwined than ever before. Rubbing their prestigious elbows at their fancy dinner parties, referring to our President as a "Rock Star" while looking down their elite Liberal noses at us Wal-Mart shoppers. We need someone in Politics who knows what it is like to clip coupons and worry about how to pay the electric bill. I am not saying that Sarah Palin or anyone for that fact can pull us out of this monstrosity of a hole that we are in, but love Her or hate Her, Sarah Palin is about as Middle Class American as it gets.
