WHAT SCARES THE LEFT AND DARWINIST RIGHT...:

Palin, for Posterity: What’s Behind the Vicious Attacks? (Paul Kengor, National Catholic Register)

Much like has happened with George W. Bush, it will be impossible for future historians to fully convey the level of white-hot hatred toward this woman. [...]

[T]he heart of the problem many of these women have with Palin seems to be abortion. Gloria Feldt, former president of Planned Parenthood, openly decried Palin for allegedly forcing her unwed teenage daughter, Bristol, to not abort the baby in her womb. “She probably feels powerless right now,” lamented Feldt, in reference to Bristol. “Because of her family’s attitude, she probably doesn’t feel that she has a choice.”

Ah, yes. If only the Palin family had the proper attitude toward unborn human life. Keep in mind that the likes of Feldt angrily protest when they are called “pro-abortion” instead of “pro-choice.” Well, Feldt’s statement is pro-abortion.

I must say that I saw all of this coming from the moment that John McCain announced that Sarah Palin was his running mate. I had already known about Palin’s choice to bring to term a child with Down syndrome, of which she and her husband had been informed last December, prior to the little boy’s birth in April. Like other pro-lifers, I was ecstatic with the example.

Just as many more people from the “pro-choice” side were not pleased at all; quite the contrary, many of them were enraged, furious. We are hearing from those people now.

I’m losing track of all the sources, from pro-choice feminists to off-their-rocker libertarians, who are openly condemning Sarah Palin for not aborting that child.

The estimate of the number of children with Down syndrome aborted when prenatally diagnosed is astounding: 90%. There is something particularly vicious about that massive denial and destruction of innocent, harmless infants. In order to countenance it, you have to get meaner and darker than you otherwise would be.

Consider that in Palin’s biggest speech, delivered at the Republican National Convention, with tens of millions of Americans watching closely, Palin paused to say that she hoped that she could use her position to fight as an advocate for children like her newborn son, Trig: “Children with special needs inspire a special love. To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters. I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House.”

There’s no question that Sarah Palin’s hope for those unwanted children, expressed in that speech, was a line in the sand — not just politically, but spiritually, against darker forces in an ancient battle between good and evil.

When Barack Obama voted against protecting babies accidentally born alive during abortions, it was after hearing testimony about a Down syndrome baby allowed to die after an abortion attempt at Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Ill.

...isn't just her resemblance to W religiously and politically, but that he beat them twice and she's on deck.
