The Puny Antics of Sarah Palin

Saturday October 11, 2008

Categories: Election '08

"Gov Palin's extracurricular efforts on behalf of her family probably stretch ethical boundaries but they are so inconsequential versus the enormous need for leadership our country now faces.  To fault her for these efforts to avenge her family name misses the larger need:  She operates on a pretty puny scale. 

We need leaders to rise to a greater horizon and she is sadly incapable of that.  How often did the people of Yahweh miss that same moment?  I feel like we are still down in the valley right now worshiping the Golden Calf (which happens to be the well-time lectionary this Sunday) and we await our Moses to deliver us once again."

Also grand niece of 3 famous WASP families (by marriage) and a host of intellectuals and Yalies!

When I was a little girl, there was such a thing as a family - this existed for the Black community, the Puerto Rican community, the Blue collar community and the middle class. Thanks to the radical white left now coupled with the "former" Republican business class who has sent away all of their jobs, they can kiss themselves goodbye. I was born in 1961, and I vividly remember those people having families and jobs....I know that it is important to the top Republicans as well as the White left to keep abortion alive (you have made a shambles of the other people's families by the way), to get rid of the mentally retarded as well as the "lower" classes, to make way for your sexually challenged children, your designer babies, your wealth at the shipwreck of the others...Go to where the sun don't shine

The blue collar Sarah Palins, like the minority community and the nobody whites, went up in the towers, they have served in these wars, they have taken care of my severely handicapped brothers God Bless!
