PALIN QUOTES A FASCIST, ANTI-SEMITE, RACIST IN CONVENTION SPEECH!!!!
Yes I know the Republican Convention was a long time ago but this just came to my attention so i felt you must know about it.
This is the quote she used in her speech:
"A writer observed: "We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty, sincerity, and dignity." I know just the kind of people that writer had in mind."
(Referring to the people of Wasilla, Alaska where she was Mayor and oh by the way when left to become Governor the entire city in massive amounts of debt... Only rivaled to the debts generated by George Bush.)
That writer:
Westbrook Pegler.
Now who is that might you ask?
He was one of the Roosevelt administration's sharpest critics over what he saw as its abuse of power. He rarely missed an opportunity to criticize Roosevelt, his wife or Vice President Henry Wallace and often and openly advocated for the assassination of FDR.
(FDR being the President who helped pull the country out of the Great Depression.)
He was also known for what Philip Roth described as his "casual distaste for Jews," which had become so evident that he was bounced from the journal of the John Birch Society in 1964 for alleged anti-semitism. According to his obituary, he'd advanced the theory that American Jews of Eastern European descent were "instinctively sympathetic to Communism, however outwardly respectable they appeared."
He denounced the Civil Rights Movement and believed that every "intelligent" American should "practice and proclaim bigotry."
I am ashamed and appalled to say that this man was born in Minnesota... It literally makes me SICK to know he was born in this state... Hell in this country....

VP Debate
As I watched the VP debate the other night, I couldn't help but feel angry and frusterated with most of the answers that Gov. Palin was giving. She didn't answer the questions or really give any details about how her and J-Mac were going to "reform" anything. Lets take a look at her first answer:
Moderator: The House of Representatives this week passed a bill, a big bailout bill -- or didn't pass it, I should say. The Senate decided to pass it, and the House is wrestling with it still tonight. As America watches these things happen on Capitol Hill, Gov. Palin, was this the worst of Washington or the best of Washington that we saw play out?
Palin: John McCain thankfully has been one representing reform. Two years ago, remember, it was John McCain who pushed so hard with the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reform measures. He sounded that warning bell.
People in the Senate with him, his colleagues, didn't want to listen to him and wouldn't go towards that reform that was needed then. I think that the alarm has been heard, though, and there will be that greater oversight, again thanks to John McCain's bipartisan efforts that he was so instrumental in bringing folks together over this past week, even suspending his own campaign to make sure he was putting excessive politics aside and putting the country first.
Notice how that wasn't the question. Not what did John McCain talk about 2 years ago, but what is your opinion of what happened in Congress and the Senate this week? (I did skip part of what she said because: 1) its too long and i wasn't going to make you read it all and 2) because it really didn't answer the question either.)
Dont Worry. I'm not going to go over every single thing she said but i wanted to use her first answer to give you a feeling for how she answered questions all night long. and out of probably 20-30 questions asked she answered 1 of them with a straight answer....1!
Now Joe Biden did answer questions and sometimes they werent so straight forward, but he answered most questions and she didn't answer any of them. Hell she couldn't even think of a single area where she and John McCain would change any of George Bush's policies.
So I would now like to ask Gov. Palin a question: If you and John McCain are a "group of Mavericks and a group of Reformers," then tell me..... If your not going to change a single policy set in place by George Bush, then how does that make you guys reformers? (a reformer being someone who puts an end to (something) by enforcing or introducing a better method or course of action)
How is that CHANGE?!?!? They're TV ad's tell us that "Change is Coming," but if they're going to continue the same DISASTEROUS policies of George W. Bush, what else besides the person sitting behind the desk constitutes as CHANGE?
Obama/Biden:2
McCain/Palin:0

No Gay Marriage? ¿Por Qué No? (Why Not?)
Well lets start at the beginning. My friend Mel told me today that some kid made random, stupid comments about why its wrong for gay people to get married
("because the Bible says so thats why")
Okay first of all, people need to remember that the Bible was written by (not God or Jesus), but by old MEN who believed that:
I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. If someone claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians, then surely I would be a slave and yet, Justin Morneau wouldnt be. Why is that?
I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. The passage clearly states he should be put to death. So tell me....Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination?
Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I wear glasses because I'm near-sighted. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here? [Dwarfs and people with bad backs are also forbidden to approach.]
Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27, and it says they sould be put to death.
How should they die?
Leviticus 18:22 reads: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; such thing is an abomination."
What if my father was interested in selling his daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. What would a good price for her be?
Here's one that's really important cause we've got a lot of sports fans in this country: touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean. Leviticus 11:7 If they promise to wear gloves can the Minnesota Vikings still play football? Can USC? Can my hometown Albert Lea Tigers?
Does the whole town really have to be together to stone my uncle, Miah, for planting different crops side by side?
Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads?
Okay I stole some of these questions from (The Greatest TV Show EVER Made) the West Wing, but theyre all valid points.
As for Gay Marraige not being allowed, its not the governments place to tell people that they can't be married together because they are of the same gender. And as for saying they'd allow the people to decide.... it's not anyone elses place to not allow it either.
(If you ask me, this whole "ordeal" of the government not recognizing gay marriage borders on a dictatorship.)
(Seriously! Dictators say 'Well you can't wear green on tuesday, or blue on monday, and you can't eat fish every third wednesday." Thats exactly what government officials sound like!"
Think about that....
