Doesn't matter if you are a hockey mom or baseball mom - I'm an FFA mom and a volleyball mom too - any kind of mom who is involved with her kids and will give her life for them is a fighter - someone with convictions, someone that will protect and defend til the death. I think most all moms (and I am sure those that are on here) would do that for their kids - whether their style is to sit back and let the kids deal with things or not. When push comes to shove, don't mess with me or my kids. It has to go pretty far to get to that point, but once the line is crossed, the gloves come off!
Have only had to do that once - and it involved a s****r coach who was publicly humiliating my husband at the s****r annual dinner. Afterward, I humiliated him (quietly, with no public show of anything) right back.
I think that is the message that Sarah Palin was trying to give - you've got to stand up for what you believe in and not feel you have to be sorry or timid about your well-thought out convictions.
Although I was warned not to get political on the forum - since someone else started it - I am giving my two cents!
GO Sarah!!!!
