On
the day she was announced, Janice Crouse of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1225337674_7">Concerned Women for America</span>
released a statement saying: "Take that, feminists - here is a woman of
accomplishment who brings a fresh face to traditional values and models
the type of woman most girls want to become. For years, the <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1225337674_8">feminist
movement</span> has acknowledged for leadership only those women who embrace a
radical agenda. How refreshing that we have a woman who reflects the
values of mainstream <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1225337674_9">American women</span>, pro-life, pro-marriage and
pro-family." <br>
<br>
That the <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1225337674_10">Christian Right</span> has found a way to
approve of Palin's candidacy should not be seen as a comforting move
towards modern <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1225337674_11">gender roles</span>, but rather a stark reminder of how far
afield from the mainstream the people Palin appeals to and represents
are. <br>

Palin</span> is an enormous, enormous star on the Christian Right now. Even
though the polls are pointing to an Obama-Biden victory, this is just a
prelude to a mega political career for this woman.<br>
<br>
Another
really important thing is, as we see in her rallies, Sarah Palin has
really unleashed something or exposed something really significant
about the Christian Right, that it's a white racist movement.<br>

<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Sunsara Taylor</span>
(writer for <span style="font-style: italic;">Revolution</span>
Newspaper):<br>
<br>
Palin's
candidacy - as extreme as she is -- is in a lot of ways the logical
conclusion of the whole political spectrum and discourse in this
country on abortion and women's rights for the last 15 years. It's one
that's been initiated and led by the Christian Right, but conceded to
and adhered to by the Democrats, and it's a framework that needs to be
decisively ruptured if we're not going to witness the ushering in of
the horrific dark ages view of women that Palin concentrates.<br>
<br>
The
only way you can bring together two antagonistic positions - the view
that women's role is to be enslaved to their biology and to their
husbands and the idea that women are human beings and are capable of
participating fully and equally in every sphere of society together
with men - is by having one side capitulate to the other. <br>
<br>
And
the Christian fundamentalist movement, the pro-natalist movement and
the movement to criminalize abortion are not capitulating and they are
not toning it down.<br>
