Angelia, I assume you mean the following article from 11/4???
November 4, 2008 Feminists are upset by Palin My life has been (and continues to be) absolutely chocked full of bountiful blessings. One of the best blessings was spending all of my teenage years during the "Fabulous '50s" right here in Jackson. I grew up in a crime-free, drug-free environment where women were treasured, and assured that in America you could "go for the gold." I was super-idealistic, anticipating what was ahead for me as a young woman. And, just as I entered adulthood, WHAM! Along came the salacious and sleazy '60s with the birth of active feminism, leaving traditional women like me aghast at their antics. Decrying what they deemed as oppression of women during the '50's, these newly acclaimed feminists took to the airwaves and streets in droves, demanding equal rights with men. Touting a concerted agenda to sock-it-to all males, these boisterious old broads with their butch looks burned their bras in public bonfires at protest rallies. Other "hippie" feminists descended on open-air, farm-field rock concerts to "make love and not war." Then, there emerged the "Hillary" brand of feminists. These were the heady, new-age, lesbians and socialists, fresh out of their Ivy-League colleges, and fully-loaded with Marxist principles. Even though these Hillary types didn't shed their undies or wallow in the drug-infested hippie cesspools, they showed up in corporate offices and boardrooms in numbers (sans any glamour) to threaten their male counterparts. These were the in-your-face, brash old gals, who if married kept their maiden names. Radical feminist organizations popped up like weeds. They existed solely to rally their ilk and sue any company that dared to promote a qualified man if any woman - qualified or not - was around. It was a scary time for men and traditional women. Eventually, these disgusting females were integrated into the work force, where they were just tolerated as a nuisance rather than an asset. However, during this time, these radical feminists unknowingly and unintentionally brought attention to the many smart, deserving traditional working women, who looked like dreams compared to their nightmare feminist co-workers. Out of this "dreamy" group emerged the Sarah Palins. So, instead of celebrating Palin's place in a "man's world," today's feminists are trashing her roundly. Here's why radical feminists hate Palin. It's all about her fashions, family, faith, fortitude, fortune and fame. Fashion-wise, she's a beautiful, all-woman. The former beauty queen has drop-dead looks from her shiny tresses to her polished toes. Next, there's her family. How dare a powerful woman produce and breast-feed five kids? Third, Palin's faith really galls feminists. She is a born-again, baptized, evangelical believer in Jesus, and she's not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. She knows that all life begins at conception. To the glory of God, she bore her Down syndrome baby rather than abort him, like 90 percent of Down Syndrome babies are aborted. Fortitude is Palin's forte. She is a well-rounded, multi-tasking, hard- working mom, who doesn't flinch when she needs to make tough calls. And likewise, feminists detest her fortune and fame. Palin is filthy rich in all the things that really matter. She's spiritually saved and secure, culturally grounded in mainstream values and intellectually astute to moral imperatives that are biblically sound. Currently, the greatest insult to feminists is Palin's fame. She is now a historical woman - the first Republican female to run on a national presidential ticket., and she's soft and warm to boot. Sarah Palin may not win the national vice presidential slot, but she will win in Madison County and Tennessee (my home turf), and this fact just "warms the cockles of my heart!"
