I occasionally see a column by Rove and he's pretty darn smart. Wish he'd write more. Palin is another knife in the fiscal conservative side of the party with her pork past. As opposed to Biden and Obama? At least Sarah turned against the bridge to nowhere. Biden and Obama voted for it ... twice I believe ... and never turned against it.

Prisoners of dogma "The gigantic, instantaneous coast-to-coast rage directed at Sarah Palin when she was identified as pro-life was, I submit, a psychological response by loyal liberals who on some level do not want to open themselves to deep questioning about abortion and its human consequences," Camille Paglia writes at www.salon.com. "I have written about the eerie silence that fell over campus audiences in the early 1990s when I raised this issue on my book tours. At such moments, everyone in the hall seemed to feel the uneasy conscience of feminism." Miss Paglia, who is pro-choice, added: "It is nonsensical and counterproductive for Democrats to imagine that pro-life values can be defeated by maliciously destroying their proponents. And it is equally foolish to expect that feminism must for all time be inextricably wed to the pro-choice agenda. There is plenty of room in modern thought for a pro-life feminism - one in fact that would have far more appeal to [Third World] cultures where motherhood is still honored and where the Western model of the hard-driving, self-absorbed career woman is less admired. "But the one fundamental precept that Democrats must stand for is independent thought and speech. When they become baying bloodhounds of rigid dogma, Democrats have committed political suicide."
