Of course, these days, the feminist mantle is claimed by pro-life conservatives and pro-choice progressives alike. Palin herself is a proud member of Feminists for Life. Feminism seems no longer to denote a particular set of values or ideological agenda; it is merely a label appropriated to proclaim that one is committed to the best interests of women -- whatever one believes those to be. Thus far, there's no reason to doubt that Palin devoutly believes her hard-core conservatism is right for women. A McCain-Palin White House, however, would spell only trouble for women's rights. [Italics added, with great delight.]

br> Such bluster is the sweetest aspect of Palin's presence in the race. It pours forth, day after day, from people on the verge of hysteria. They know that within the public's response to Palin lies an easy rejection of the left's chronic dishonesty. Feminism is to them merely one shade of a lipstick applied to their ideal porcin, which labors to establish a vaguely socialist, vaguely anarchist, entirely incoherent dystopia. It's refreshing to hear them fess up to it, day after day. p>All power to the Palin! Write on! br> -- Edmund Dantes br> Coshocton, Ohio /p> p> SHOT IN THE FOOT br> Re: R.
