Sarah Palin Sparks Revival of the Culture War

Back to article

Last week, TV showed Palin endorsing the new Arizona law that lets local law enforcers ask for ID. As an average citizen, i've been asked for ID several times & I had it with me as an everyday part of life. There was a fender bender caused by another driver and out came both our wallets with ID. To get a realtor license, I had fingerprints taken by city police dept. To show facts when getting credit; I was asked for and did show ID. Palin's lack of higher education became obvious but it was not until late in the campaign that she made remarks showing she believed humans & dinosaurs co-existed. Those educational gaps can be filled, but it was her general attitude that marked her as being unprepared to be trusted with such a vital office. More power to her as time passes if she learns why ProChoicers were disappointed with her. As taxpayers, nobody should support policies that force women to complete conceptions that FOR ANY REASON are not warmly welcomed. It is wise to solve problems by "nipping them in the bud." That means stopping division of cells while they fill space less than a teabag. Abortion is cheap. It is wise to spend taxes for abortiont to 10 weeks at cost of $527 & later to maximm cost of $1370.

I don't know what your are talking about there of obama being a crack head. I strongly believe heis just what america needs to get back on track.
palin seems to represent white supremacy and shows signs of being a pauline hansen from australia.
just like how lucifer fell frm theheavens due to his insatiable pride, so to is thepride and fervor of white supremacy and the so called christian right wing movement.
the arrogance and hubris of a white dominated society is what brought these problems to our country.
wake up! I do no believe the world needs any more white supremacy in this world.

I am both appalled & saddened by the comments aimed at Gov. Palin. I can't help but wonder to what depth some people stoop to vilify other human beings irrespective of political/religious beliefs! It's very obvious that there is much, much lack of respect on the part of the those opposing Gov. Palin on the GOP ticket. The beauty of living in this country is that we don't live under Sharia Law! Thank you.

"HYPOCRICY
IF YOU RAISED YOUR FAMILY WITH FEAR OF GOD, NONE SHOULD BE PREGNANT OUT OF WEDLOCK UNLESS THERE'S A HYPOCRIT LIVING IN THAT GOD'S FAMILY. AMERICA RUNS THE RISK OF PUTTING IN A FORMER PILFFERER AS FIRST LADY AND BORN AGAIN FAMILY WITH CHILD OUT OF WEDLOCK AS VP."
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
If you are such a believer and God fearing person I suggest you brush up on your literature. You speak out of judgment and you sound ignorant.
You and all those 'christians' like yourself are smelling up the place.
