A joyous warrior

The herd of independent minds, otherwise known as the mainstream media, is missing something unusual and probably vital in this year's politics.
They don't fully understand the threat that Sarah Palin poses to the liberal enterprise.
Why? Because they're engrossed in the usual nitty-gritty of presidential elections. Is she qualified to be president? Has she so thoroughly covered her tracks that we won't find anything? Or is there something in her past that we can use to blow up her campaign? What's she said lately that we can use against her?
What they don't understand is this: In her visible, visceral joy and happpiness, Palin is a threat against which the liberals have no defense.
The things that liberals hold most dear - freedom to abort babies, crony capitalism in Washington, govenment intrusion into every aspect of life, assaults on free enterprise, government policies that allow liberals to determine who wins and who loses - are anathema to Palin.
The thing is, ultimately the voters are influenced by the visisble symbols of the two competing outlooks.
Who are the symbols of liberalism? Hillary Clinton. Ted Kennedy. George Soros. Nancy Pelosi. Harry Reid.
Who are the symbols of conservatism? Sarah Palin.
For voters, this may raise an important question: When was the last time I saw a happy and joyous liberal?
Perhaps some voters will take one more step and say, "Maybe she is so happy because of the way she thinks and the way she lives her life."
If that happens the radical feminists who have held the liberal enterprise in line for decades may see a sunset they don't like.
