It is going to be a long uphill climb for the Republican party if the
best post election show they have to offer is a literal bitch-slapping
contest over Sarah Palin. I have seen the term circular firing squad
used many times as a metaphor for this post election finger pointing.
Perhaps
out of a distant loyalty to the thought they once represented something
reasonably recognizable as "conservative", I offer them the following
tip: The conservative America I grew up in believed in a strong
separation between Church and State. I almost hate to point out such
obvious stuff to a party that is clearly gone criminal, as I don't want
to appear to be aiding and abetting fugitives. It's just that I used
to know and respect a few folks who held positions different than mine
who could literately debate them without resorting to worn out logical
fallacies and ad hominem attacks.
Palin clearly believes in a
Christian theocracy, one where she, as President and Pastor -in Chief,
would be able to rightly differentiate between the 'witches' that
needed burning and the rapist fetuses that needed protecting. If she
desires to be a real politician when she grows up (press conferences
anyone ??) she will have to learn out to play nice with the media and
the general electorate, and not just the rubes who lost their fortunes
long before this latest market crash by investing in Jim and Tammy Faye
Baker's PTL themepark.
It doesn't matter to America that Sarah
doesn't have a favorite magazine she's willing to share with us, nor
even that she might be clueless on The Bush Doctrine or even the
continental status of Africa. Expensive dresses?? Who the hell are
they making them for if a hot VP candidate can't at least 'borrow' them
for awhile? LOL. All that is meant to distract voters that the one
thing that makes Sarah certifiably toxic.
Sarah believes in the
rights of the rapist's baby over the rights of the girl being raped. I
don't know if it's twisted serendipity or horrible karmic influence
that the results of
treating the rapists better than the thirteen year old who was raped
recently made headlines, but it's starting to appear that letting any
religion (even those of the Sons of Abraham) too close to the levers of
public power is something the founders of our country took particular
interest in preventing.
Enjoy.
