Why does Mrs. Palin scare the liberal establishment? For decades, the liberal elite in this country has portrayed itself as the champion of blacks, minorities and women - the supposedly oppressed classes, who have endured centuries of domination at the hands of white males. The Democrats - and their media allies - have sought to use this victimology as their prevailing narrative, their infallible, unquestionable myth, in order to paint Republicans as the party of racists and chauvinists. Mrs. Palin threatens that storyline. Liberals were similarly ferocious in their unsuccessful attempt to scuttle Clarence Thomas' nomination to the Supreme Court. They will be equally determined to prevent Mrs. Palin from becoming the first female vice president in U.S. history. Successful women or black conservative Republicans reveal the lie at the core of modern liberalism: Self-reliance, self-help and personal responsibility are not just the keys to success for white males, but for everyone in America. They are universal, enduring values. They demonstrate that the liberal prescription of Big Government and affirmative action is unnecessary. washingtontimes.com
