Subject: RE: BS: The Tea Party a Terrorist Organization??
The idea of Sarah Palin as President gives me (and most people I know) cold chills! And puts us to seriously contemplating emigration if it should actually happen.
She is an arch-conservative, is a member of a Pentacostal church (and is one of those who wants to "restore" America as a "Christian nation"—despite the First Amendment), is vigorously opposed to any kind of gun control, wants to throw the Alaska wilderness (including national parks) open to unrestricted oil drilling, opposes any and all environmental regulations, and enjoys the sport of shooting wolves from a low-flying plane (without wolves, Alaska would be ass-deep in caribou, among other things much less innocuous), and she has proven her general failure to grasp reality by opposing any kind of sex education in schools other than counseling kids to abstain—a policy which, as we have seen, worked very well with her daughter, Bristol!
The woman is a political catastrophe and a mental pretzel!
But then, if your idea is that the United States needs to hit rock-bottom before people will wake up and start thinking intelligently, then that would be one route to go.
