Freud says the defining moment in the psycho-sexual development of a female and a male child is when they learn the female does not have a penis. He describes reaction of the female as “penis envy” and the male as “castration anxiety.” These metaphors characterize reaction to Sarah Palin.
In Dante’s allegorical description of Purgatory sinners of envy are punished by sewing their eyes shut with metal wire for taking pleasure in seeing another’s loss.
There is an axis of envy in America today seething in a purgatory of its own, the media-politicalacademic axis: (“MPA”) Elitists in both parties that overpopulate the ivy corridor of the DC-NY-Boston and the moral kindergartens of the Hollywood-SF-Bay Area. An MPA dinner party is a virtual orgy of penis envy and castration anxiety by green-eyed women and weedy men. They envy and fear Sarah Palin more than Dracula envies mosquitoes and fears a crucifix:
Sarah Palin threatens the conceits of the media-political-academic axis. She is a normal American; an assertive, athletic, attractive, happily married mother of five. She represents Americans who work, run small business, raise families, believe in God and serve their country. Palin is a grounded woman as certain as the Founding Fathers that every human being has the unalienable right to life, including the unborn, the disabled and elderly.
This lady is not a “Pol with a skirt.’ Sarah Palin defeated corrupt GOP old boys; was elected mayor and governor, nominated a VP candidate, drew record crowds and lifted McCain over Obama. (Until the DJ crash ended the contest.) Palin also did something few do; she gave birth to a child with Down’s syndrome, 90% diagnosed with this tragic chromosomal disorder are aborted. She had to be stopped.
In 2008 the MPA exposed its phobic envy. Never has a national candidate and family been subjected to unrelenting vicious denigration-“trailer trash,” “slutty look,” and worse. Elitists and wannabe airheads feigned concern over her lack of experience as governor to be VP, but not that of a community organizer to be President. Their obsession has continued in 2009 with (20) frivolous charges solely to consume her public duties, cost her (family) $500,000 and Alaska taxpayers $2 million.
“NORMAL AMERICANS do not find it difficult to understand why Sarah Palin resigned. She has a clear hierarchy of values; she knows her responsibility is to serve the public and to raise her family without distractions;” wrote John Dunn in “American Thinker.” (July, 2009).
Media-political-academic elites will continue to fear Sarah Palin, and they should. She is now free to speak to normal Americans across the country, and she does not need a teleprompter.
