Why Sarah Palin is hated
Paul Murano
It’s not just disagreement with her
policies or thinking she’s too
inexperienced to be vice president that
we’ve been hearing. The
continuous personal and family attacks by
celebrities and journalists since John
McCain chose her to be his potential veep
sounds a lot more like hate than
disagreement.
Why would our three culture molding
establishments - Journalism,
entertainment and academia –
continuously attack a woman before they
even know her? Why such an
irrational response to a person who ran
the state of Alaska? This Palin
phenomenon goes way beyond politics.
If there is one thing our modern world
hates it’s a living mirror. It
is not coincidental that the more we have
become obsessed with glass mirrors the
more we have come to despise human
ones. Sarah Palin without saying a
word forces us to look at what we’ve
become. Without uttering a syllable
she cuts through the layers of lies that
so many have bought into for the past
four decades.
Her life suggests that the fragile tower
that western society has built over the
past few decades has its foundation in
sand, the sand of materialism,
relativism, contemporary feminism, and
ultimately secular humanism. Her
family makes us feel guilty.
Just the presence of her child Trig with
Down’s Syndrome forces us look at
how soft we’ve become and how we
have allowed the culture of death to
permeate our medical establishments that
counsel most women to kill children like
Trig before birth, our government that
allows the annual slaughter 1.3 million
preborn children to continue in our
country, our academic establishments that
promote a man-centered universe with its
accompanying moral relativism, and a
media that actively promotes a
fornication culture while advocating the
new family model of 1.6 children.
Why do people hate Sarah Palin?
Because without saying a word she makes
us ashamed of being dumb enough to buy
into the great lies of the contemporary
world and for following a path that does
not lead to happiness or fulfillment.
What happens when a people hiding from
the truth are forced to look at it?
They lash out in an attempt to kill the
messenger. If we can kill the
messenger maybe we don’t have to
hear the message; and how better to do
this than to destroy a person’s
credibility, making them out to be
buffoons.
Dan Quayle was destroyed by the media
twenty years ago for having the gall to
challenge this secular humanist tower of
babel with what he called “family
values”.
George Bush was excoriated by the media
as a fool as was Ronald Reagan.
Now it’s Sarah Palin’s turn.
But this is a much more serious blasphemy
against the gods of secular humanism
because she is a woman who believes women
do not have a right to kill their
children before birth, a woman that does
not believe sodomous relationships should
receive recognition or normalization by
the state. She’s a woman that
sees through the silliness of how
contemporary feminism has feminized our
culture to the point of replacing
objective truth with subjective
feelings.
Without saying a word Sarah Palin is
hated for apparently not buying into a
world view that sees people as objects to
be used or discarded, and for embracing a
world view that includes a commitment to
life, marriage, family, and country.
Ulti-mately she is hated for her
commitment to God. The rest is a
smokescreen.
Governor Palin personifies what
post-Christian western culture has been
running from for decades. Ever
since Time Magazine echoed Nietzsche in
declaring that God is dead has the left
has been attempting with futility to make
such hyperbole a reality. Today it’s
politically correct to say you’re a
man of faith as long as it’s a faith
centered on man.
Whether or not you agree with her
politically, Sarah Palin is being
persecuted not for her politics but for
her reflection of the God that secular
humanism has spent much energy in recent
decades trying to hide from. The hysteria
heard from its pulpits of journalism,
entertainment, and academia has
illustrated this clearly.
