I could rant and rave about all the reasons why Sarah Palin should not only NOT win the American Vice Presidency but should also have her US citizenship revoked and be re-assigned to a real theocracy like in Saudi Arabia. I mean, judging by everything I’ve read so far:
Sarah Palin is a religious whackjob. As such, she is as superstitious and intellectually backward as any medieval peasant and as dangerous, both at home and abroad, as any terrorist.
Sarah Palin hates women who want to rise above the status of “brood mare” by taking some measure of control over their reproductive cycles.
Sarah Palin hates single people (especially single mothers), same-sex couples, and anyone else in a committed but unmarried relationship.
Sarah Palin hates children who don’t come from or remain in so-called traditional family structures.
Sarah Palin hates sex and anyone who is curious about it, enjoys it, or wants to share the facts surrounding it.
Sarah Palin is a liar and a thief who can’t directly answer simple, legitimate questions about her abilities, her past actions, and her understanding of world issues.
Sarah Palin is, simply, stupid. She thinks creationism is a peer to evolution in the realm of scientific theories. Indeed, she thinks the Earth is around 6,000 years old. She thinks living across the pond from Russia is a great quality to have in a world leader. She thinks the Founding Fathers wrote the Pledge of Allegiance. Actually, I should stop using “she thinks” because her religiosity actively prevents her from doing anything other than believing.
In short, Sarah Palin supports policies that benefit only the ever-shrinking percentage of Americans who look and behave just like she does (a little less than 50% and dropping, according to Alternatives to Marriage Project). Anyone who doesn’t fit her narrow mold is duty-bound, as a citizen of the US, to pay for those policies in the form of higher taxes, lack of social and financial stability, and lack of economic and intellectual opportunity. In other words, Sarah Palin would institutionally discriminate against the half of Americans who dare to live their lives according to their own reasonable set of values (the way the Founding Fathers envisioned), indenturing them to the half of Americans who toe her questionable moral line (the way the Taliban and Al-Quaeda might envision).
