If You Vote For Sarah Palin Then Don't Vote For Her Just Because You Think She Is A Smart Woman Or A Great Mom

By Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyo, Philosopher (Constitution-loving Patriotic American and Jewish, by the way)


First of all, I am, have been and will continue to be a supporter of the Obama-Biden Democratic Party Ticket for the General U.S. Elections of 2008. Just in case you’re one of those people who gets really angry after reading something only to find out that the person who wrote always had a bias and never intended to give the other side a chance.

Secondly, I am male, and, no matter how hard I might try to convince those women who want a female President as soon as humanly possible, I know that chances are slim to none that this Op-Ed piece will suffice to convince you to vote for Senator Barack Obama. But I am also somewhat feminine as a Freethinking Philosopher and I reserve my right to hope that Sense & Sensibility will ultimately prevail over Gender-Identity-Bias and the irrational subconscious fear some women have of Black men in America today!

Loaded first Paragraph! I know, and I risk losing you right here and right now, but having studied Psychology, formally and informally, and having spent much of my life deliberately observing society, human behavior and particularly the behavior of my inner sex (you’re probably going to laugh at this one: I’m a predominantly homosexual Lesbian in a male body!), which happens to be very feminine, I feel it is my solemn duty and wholehearted obligation to make every best effort I can to prevent the McCain-Palin Ticket from winning. Why? Because I have every good reason to think that that would spell disaster for America, and, thus, for The Whole World!!! Governor Palin is a very serious National Security Threat (and not at all because she happens to be a woman and mother…heck, I gladly voted for Mondale-Ferraro in 1984!), and for Senator John McCain to have invited this threat for purely opportunistic political reasons (i.e. winning at any cost and by any means!) shows just how much of a risk he is to America and The World, too!

Let me make something perfectly clear, before I get into the real nitty-gritty of this argument, it is by no means my intention to demonize Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, nor to make false statements about her past or current life. Like many women who are devout Assembly of God “Bible-believing Christian(s)”, Mrs. Palin truly believes that she is doing all she can to protect her children, family, spouse, followers, supporters and fellow congregation members, from Evil, from the Wages of Sin, from Eternal Damnation in Hell! She truly believes that we live in The End of Times, that 9-11, 7-7 and many other horrors and tragic events are absolute proof that New Testament Prophecy is factual reality and is evident in all manner of dire signs happening everywhere! She truly believes that the reason Israel and America have suffered from sick, monstrous terrorist attacks is because too many Jews and Americans have failed to follow G-d’s strict laws, in effect ‘His Commandments’, ‘His Ultimate Plan and Will’, as ‘promised to us’ by none other than ‘Jesus Christ’, ‘The Son of G-d’, and that ‘Eternal Salvation in Heaven’, following ‘The Rapture and Armageddon’, that is coming any day now, that America is waging a ‘Righteous Christian War’ against ‘The Enemies of G-d’, and that she and Alaska have a very special role to play in all of this!!! And yet, until the ‘right’ time comes, she has no intention to do anything but be a good mother to her children, protecting them from sick people, a long list which not only includes truly sick pedophiles and dangerous hard-core criminal thugs, but also includes; homosexuals, as well as other types of ‘deviant’ kinky adults having consensual intimacy with other ‘deviant’ kinky adults, poly-amorous adults, bisexuals, ‘abortionists’, ‘genocidal doctors who provide relatively safe (for the woman concerned) abortions (as opposed to dangerous ‘coat-hanger’ abortions in filthy hidden basements) and any and all people who in any way support the rights, or, as someone like her would put it, the ‘crimes’ and ‘Cardinal Sins’, of the aforementioned types of people, including Democrats, ‘Bleeding Heart Liberals’, practically all Liberals in general, ‘Commies’, ‘Pinkos’ (which rhymes with stinkos), Anarchists, Satanists, Traitors, Disloyal Americans, most Labor Union leaders, most Community Activists in most of America’s Impoverished Inner-City neighborhoods, practically every woman in The National Education Association (which is non-partisan), Witches, Warlocks, Harry Potter Fans, most (but not all) Environmentalists, members of NOW (National Organization of Women, for those of you men who should already know better), People for The American Way, Peta, Amnesty International, all Jews, Muslims and ‘Christians’ who do not vote Republican, Moose Lovers, former Presidents with family names like Clinton and Carter, actors with names like Jennifer Aniston, Sophia Bush, George Clooney, Robert De Niro, Richard Dreyfuss, Danny DeVito, Cindy Crawford, Matt Damon, Brendan Fraser, Kate Flannery, Morgan Freeman, Tom Hanks, Leonard Nimoy, Edward Norton, Sidney Poitier, Brad Pitt, Henry Winkler, Forrest Whitaker, Denzel Washington, Kathleen Turner, Meryl Streep, Martin Sheen, Sharon Stone, Wil Smith, Kate Walsh, Ben Stiller, Directors like George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Spike Lee, intellectuals like Cornel West, Laurence Tribe, Alice Kessler-Harris, Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyo (The Original New York City Free Advice Man), Capitalists like Warren Buffett, George Soros, David Geffen, Ben Cohen, Jerry Greenfield, Oprah Winfrey, musicians like Bob Dylan, Mariah Carey, Natalie Cole, Merle Haggard, Herbie Hancock, John Legend, Kris Kristofferson, Jennifer Lopez, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, American top athletes like Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Hulk Hogan, Rod Smith, Greg Oden, and the names go on and on….

Now, at this point, you may be thinking; ‘I thought you said you were not going to demonize Palin’. Well, I am not demonizing her, because from her point of view she is actually truly a very good, decent, caring, loving mother, and a truly patriotic Alaska-first American patriot fighting the many sick and Evil enemies of G-d! And, with regards to actual pedophiles and hardcore criminal thugs she’s right. But with regards to most Americans, most of whom, like myself, truly understand, appreciate and love Our Country’s Great Constitution, especially one of its most fundamental parts concerning the absolute need to Separate Church from State, in effect to keep Religion out of Politics, Government and Statecraft, so that we do not end up like Iran, Taliban Afghanistan, or like most of Europe was at the time Our Great Democratic American Nation was founded, by truly some of the most wonderful people in the History of The World, such as the truly progressive Liberal Democrats Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, as well as George and Martha Washington, and so, so many other great American patriots, some Christian, some Jewish and some not religious about their Jewish or Christian roots…with regards to most Americans Governor Sarah Palin is 100% wrong, especially in her failure to truly understand, appreciate and protect Our Constitution, which is the sole basis for being Americans! She is not a demon, an agent of Satan, Lucifer, Count Dracula, Charles Manson or even Alfred E. Neumann! Of course not! She really does want to do and be good, but wanting is not the same as actually doing the right things and being reasonably tolerant and respectful of the privacy, freedoms, liberties, human rights, Constitutional Rights of all of our fellow Americans! In that sense, Governor Palin is no different than any other fanatic religious person in America, whose views, however much I and other Americans will protect their rights to hold them, are views which are totally incompatible with the offices of President and Vice-President of The United States of America! She is, however unwittingly and unintentionally, serving the very interests and goals of those sick fanatic religious extremists who murdered so many of our wonderful fellow Americans and other fellow human-beings almost exactly seven years ago, to this date, on that day that will live in infamy, September 11, 2001! And we Americans who love our Democratic way of government, our Freedoms, Liberties and Duties to Our Great Constitution, we who love The True American Way of Life, The Spirit of Independence that our founding parents fought so hard for, we cannot allow foolish people, however kind and sweet they can be at times, however generous and friendly, however much they may be great mothers, beautiful and otherwise fairly intelligent, albeit definitely not wise, women, to be one heartbeat away from The Presidency! Nor can we vote for a man who, no matter how great a war hero, how patriotic he may still mean to be, no matter how much he has ideas, a few of which may be similar to those of Senators Biden and Obama, that also mean changing the ill ways of Washington….we cannot allow a man who had such terribly poor judgment in choosing a religious fanatic, however pretty she may be (to some…my taste is different), as his running mate and someone a death’s leap away from Our Presidency, the Presidency of America!

Now, there will still be some among you who will still think that I cannot be right about her being a religious fanatic, and to those of you who think I cannot be right about Palin I sincerely implore you to do your own research, your own homework, your own investigations, and even that you demand that she answer these supposed allegations concerning her specific religious views and the extent to which she may yet suddenly be willing to renounce them! I ask you to be a good mother and/or wife, a good woman and/or supporter of women’s rights, but ultimately I ask you to be my fellow American, a good American, who truly understands, appreciates, loves and protects Our Great American Constitution, which so clearly expresses the need to separate Church from State, Religion from Political Office! I ask you to decide whether you really want to live in a Theocracy like Iran or Taliban Afghanistan, or in the Land of The Free and The Home of The Brave. And if you do the right thing I have no doubt that you will understand that McCain-Palin is the wrong choice, even if Obama-Biden is an imperfect and perhaps seemingly disturbing choice. I mean, it is totally fair that you might think Obama is a closet Muslim bent on harming America, given how some in the media have spread false rumors and given that as a Freemason he is not really religious in the way most people understand it, but he is just as much a Jew, Christian and Muslim as all Freemasons tend to be! Seriously, do you really believe for one moment that he would have won the Illinois Senate race without the majority of Chicago’s most successful Jews and Christians, if there has ever been any official statement or even private party chatter in which he would express the slightest disrespect or contempt for Our Country, his America? Do you really think that our Democratic Party and practically all of its lifelong patriotic American political leaders, especially such iconic figures as Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton, would allow any American to become President of The United States if we did not know for sure that he is not and has never been a dangerous religious fanatic or worse??? Do you really think that though he holds (as any Freemason must) the greatest respect, equally, for Judaism, Christianity and Islam, for the common belief in One Divine G-d, he would be anything but totally opposed to and disgusted by the kind of phoney, fake Muslims who cowardly murdered thousands of fathers, mothers and children on 9-11??? Do you really think that this mixed-race man, whose beloved maternal grandparents and relatives, who he always speaks about so affectionately, so lovingly and so sincerely, whose mother was the daughter of average White American Christians, whose wife and children he has encouraged to share his basic Christian values would dishonor his loved ones??? Do you really think that this knowledgeable minor expert on Constitutional Law (neither McCain nor Palin can compare), who has had no qualms about praying at My Jewish People’s Wailing Wall….our Beloved Kotel in Yerushalayim, only a few leaps away from the place we Jews believe/think G-d created Adam...who has voted with Senator Biden in favor of protecting our valiant American women and men in arms, providing them with Mine Resistant Ambush Protected armored vehicles, so desperately needed and wanted by our forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, whose every word and thought is about restoring America’s greatness throughout the world, about making America strong at home and abroad, about going after the terrorists who attacked us, especially bin Laden & Company, and their Taliban accomplices, in Afghanistan and Pakistan (if need be), would ever do otherwise and wreck his own family’s future and even risk the safety of America and The World??? Do you really think that Senator Joe Biden would hesitate one moment to take charge and protect America and defend us from our enemies, domestic and foreign, should Obama be found unable to fulfill his duties?? Are we really going to allow a religious fanatic, however shiny eyed and dashing, or a man who has somehow lost his senses in so many ways (flip-flopping left and right, especially most recently) to take control of our nation?

I think not!

To my way of thinking America is truly facing the ultimate litmus test ever in the history of world politics and governance!

And I think most Americans, especially America’s women, would rather vote for a safe and sensible America, one in which by 2012 it is more than likely a woman shall be elected President! By the way, my very special inside sources tell me, that Senator Barack Obama may have made a deal with Senator Hillary Clinton to let her or the woman of her choice become the Democratic Party’s first female Presidential candidate in 2012!

So, do your homework, your own investigations, your own fact checking, see the truth about Palin’s fanatic religious views for yourself, and then make the right decision this November.

G-d Bless You, G-d Bless America and may a woman be Our President in 2012!
