Ouch



From my years in Canada, I know the writings and opinions of Barbara Amiel, a high-powered woman of the right. I have not always appreciated her. But her piece on how the feminist left has responded to Governor Palin is a well-crafted, right-on-the-money observation: feminism is not the friend of women but only of women who follow the tenets of liberal feminism.

Same goes for the left and race, religion, etc. Nothing (with the exception of George W Bush) provokes a liberal to unseemly acting-out than a member of an Officially Designated Victim Group who does not follow the script. Eg, Condoleeza Rice. As some wag once wrote, the goal of liberalism is not the spread of freedom, but the spread of liberalism.
