I am angry as hell and figured I'd spew to you all while I am on here. My rant this week? Pretty popular discussion: I LOATHE PEOPLE LIKE SARAH PALIN.
Now, I am not going to go on the normal rant of every liberal feminist out there - though I am one and very proud of it. Rather, I choose to rant about things that should disturb ANY God-fearing American who wants to preserve our status as a superpower in the world.
The candidacy of Mrs. Palin was a shock to the system once I found out more about her life and history. She comes across as a tough, hard-line "lady of the people" who you'd want to go hang out with at the local sports bar and have a round of brews with. Which is exactly why they tapped her: call it the "Bush phenomenon." A majority of people polled 8 years ago said that they liked Bush specifically because he seemed like a laid-back "guy's guy." Forget the fact that he can't speak and is a complete moron. Palin is a worse version: no high-level education, less exerience, and even more closed-mindedness than Bush. I'll wager that she thinks that the picture of dogs playing poker is high art!
What scares me more than her abstinence-only, anti-abortion, anti-gay rights, gun-toting, moose-eating ways is her history of being a secessionist! She was part of a group that wanted Alaska to secede from the Union! HELLO?!?!?! Also, she is an advocate of book banning and BURNING as well. UMMMM, ANYONE REMEMBER A DUDE NAMED ADOLF HITLER? SO, let's review: Palin is anti- evolution, abortion, sex education, feminist, Union, free speech, etc. and she is pro- abstinence, creationism, secession, guns and more of the like.
I am all about having opinions. I think it's what makes this country great. But this woman is flat out bitchy, mean and thinks all opposing views to hers don't matter! WHAT'S WORSE is that she calls anyone who strives for better things in life such as a good education or lifestyle ELITIST! How is that ELITIST? I thought it was a good thing to want an Ivy League education or a better paying job? I understand that she appeals to the "down home folksy-folks" of the world, but wake up! ANYONE OUT THERE SEE THE MOVIE IDIOCRACY? We are headed toward that if the GOP gets another term in the White House. McCain is more clueless than Regan was with Altzheimer's, and it's an insult to women to think that having Palin on the ticket will lure Hilary supporters. Of all the GOP women he could have picked, this was the worst. Elizabeth Dole or even Condi Rice would have been a better choice...at least both are intelligent and know how to say NUCLEAR properly. Yeesh. If Obama isn't elected, I will march on Washington...anyone else with me? Why does everyone in the world think Americans are stupid? Because they get tricked into voting for assholes like McCain and Palin.
