A Little Insulted
Posted under General Musings, Politics by khaalidahI listened to the Palin/Biden debate. Biden surprisingly kept his head and didn’t blurt out anything untoward. Palin, on the other hand, while attempting to siddle up to “Main Street America”, managed to alienate and insult my personal sensibilities. The phrases that did it?
“Joe Sixpack and hockey mom.” And there was that brief diatribe when she attempted to define what “real patriotism” is. Well, while I consider myself to be part of “Main Street America”, I am not a hockey mom. I am a science fair, honor role mom. And my husband is no Joe Sixpack. He doesn’t drink beer, Istagh firullah.
As for patriotism, how dare she define that for me. I believe in the good that my country possesses as well as its potential for future greatness, but not to the extent of agreeing with every failing policy and not to the degree of supporting a war mongering president. I love my country, but like my children, I am willing to chide my country when it does wrong and vote accordingly. And believe me, it won’t be fore the McCain-Palin ticket.
It really is depressing to think that the vice presidential candidate for one of the 2 largest parties in America thinks all American men are “Joe 6-Packs”. Very depressing. And apparently all women are “hockey and soccer moms” too..
