We might acknowledge that an initial step in the 21st century disgust in government began with the Minute Men groups along our borders. We saw it even more pronounced when concerned citizens showed up for “tea parties” held around the country, even though they were mocked, if not outright ignored, by much of the media.

That energy has culminated even further as concerned citizens showed outright disrespect for President Barack Obama’s cronies in town hall meetings across the country while Obama sat cozy in the White House.

Now, what other more distinct group to come marching in but conservative women?

Think about it! Think about what attacks were survived by Sarah Palin or the outright disgust by many over Ms. California, who dared to express her personal opinion about marriage. Some of us aren’t surprised that those insults and snide comments came almost wholly from liberals.

At the same time, who can deny the rising popularity of the likes of conservative female political commentators like Ann Coulter, Michelle Maulkin, Laura Ingraham and Megyn Kelly? These women are tearing apart the political blogosphere and writing best-selling conservative, thought-provoking books one after the other. And who can deny that these women are “babes.”

I say this as one who once occupied the other side of the political divide. My once liberal stance on many issues may seem to have changed in recent years, but the core of my beliefs remains the same.

My disappointment with many liberals today is that no matter how they dress themselves up, no matter how attractive they make themselves on the outside, their insides are horribly grotesque and their insecurities are too numerous to count.

It is easy to see that liberals are wholly uncomfortable with themselves. They complain about everything under the sun, not because the environment around them is unpleasant but because they are themselves troubled souls, terribly envious of those with conservative values.

I, for one, praise the idea that so many women are voicing their conservative views in the political realm and are refusing to allow themselves to be defined solely by liberal, feminist ideologies. And it is refreshing to hear from someone who is pretty both inside and out.

Hoorah, the conservative babes!
