I guess I missed the speech where Palin indicated she doesn't 'believe' in a balanced budget or evolution. If she is as miserable and ineffective as everyone in this thread lets on, why does she have an 80% approval rating in Alaska? That's the best of any governor in the U.S.
Can't wait to hear...

They believe that the King James Bible is inerrant and literally true. They also believe in The Rapture. In a speech she recently gave at her church she said that our present leaders in Washington are carrying out God's Plan, including the war in Iraq. Quote:

Can't wait to hear... | Gov. Palin believes that Creationism is a valid scientific theory. She is a devout Assemblies of God church goer. Here is their position on Creation/Evolution.
The history of Sarah's fiscal conservatism. The good stuff is near the bottom of the article. Sarah is a staunch fiscal conservative in the modern Republican Bush school, where you take office with a budget surplus and leave office with a record deficit, because of irresponsibly cutting taxes to get votes and spending government money like a drunken sailor.

In that speech she spoke with disdain that Obama might be interested in the preservation of the civil liberties of anyone detained in the war on terror.
You could see on her face the usual Republican disgust for the topic of civil liberties. They don't seem to equate civil liberties with freedom. Why do they hate The Constitution so much?

cause it doesn't mention God once....
And it only mentions religion twice- and both times to prohibit the government from having anything to do with it.
The sad thing is this...
America was FOUNDED as the world first Secular state. BOth Washington and Adams stated this in no uncertain terms in the US treaty with Tripoli.
The RESULT of being a secular state, is that America is one of the most religious nations on earth. Certainly the most religious population of any first world nations.
You would think that this result would make the religious understand how secular government has worked FOR them.
But it comes down to this... Conservatives put GOD before country.
They are NOT patriots, they are zealots.
It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that they are putting an IMAGINARY friend before their duty to nation.
They are pledging allegiance to a delusion- as having priority to the reality of national needs and strategizing for the future of citizens.
We really need to spread the undeniable fact that these twerps are NOT patriots.
They would sell the Constitution down the river in a heartbeat to further their delusional beliefs.
They have PROVEN this to be true.

I love how practically every Halloween book is listed there. She'd probably ban the game Pac-Man because the game has ghosts in it.
I seriously hope everyone is paying attention to this. Censorship... mindless censorship at that. More proof that McCain/Palin isn't what we need in the White House. Like we need her deciding what we should let our kids see? She can't even take care of her own properly.

BULLSHIT ALERT!
BULLSHIT ALERT!
THIS LIST IS BOGUS! Palin may have made inquiries about censoring books, but this extensive list (including the dictionary) is in NO WAY connected to her or that incident. Michelle Malkin The bogus Sarah Palin Banned Books List
A snippet "...a bogus list of books Gov. Sarah Palin supposedly banned in 1996. Looks like some of these library people failed reading comprehension. Take a look at the list below and you’ll find books Gov. Palin supposedly tried to ban…that hadn’t even been published yet. Example: The Harry Potter books, the first of which wasn’t published until 1998."
This list is from a generic ACLU list of books which have been suggested for banning from libraries, not specific to Palin.

Oh- so she wasn't in favor of banning books, rather she was merely in favor of banning books.
I appreciate the more accurate information, but the list is immaterial to me.
If she is in favor of banning ANY book, she is unfit to uphold the constitution.
