People who are excited at the prospect of Sarah Palin\u2019s candidacy need to look a bit more closely, because her positions are not woman-friendly, family-friendly, or even America-friendly.<\/p>\n
In Alaska, Palin sought out ways to ban books from libraries \u2014 imagine this in a McCain\/Palin administration, writ large to apply to all your freedoms of expression. She was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, which has been pushing for secession from the Union for 40 years. Not exactly \u201cAmerica First.\u201d<\/p>\n
Palin slashed funding for Covenant House in Alaska, which supports troubled youth, including teen mothers. Being anti-abortion is fine if you\u2019re a rich governor\u2019s daughter, but if you\u2019re young, poor and pregnant (because you\u2019re only being taught abstinence), you don\u2019t garner support from the likes of Sarah Palin.<\/p>\n
Palin is not your average Christian. Palin is a religious extremist who doesn\u2019t believe in the separation of church and state. Her church in Wasilla preaches that people who vote against the Republicans will \u201cbe banished to hell,\u201d and that the Iraq war is a religious war for Jesus. Yes, that\u2019s right, a religious war for Jesus! These deeply held beliefs are deadly in the hands of the vice president, or president.<\/p>\n
Sarah Palin can\u2019t even run a car wash. She recently owned one, failed to file for<\/p>\n
more than a year and lost it. Is this the person we want a heartbeat away from the presidency, beside a 72-year-old man with a history of recurrent cancer?<\/p>\n
