The Frozen Tundra Of Her Mind

Palin also made reference to a remark early in the campaign by Obama's wife, Michelle, who had said that "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country." The governor's comments came after country music star Lee Greenwood sang the "The Star Spangled Banner" and "God Bless the USA."

 "We believe also that there is a reason we all get teared-up when we hear Lee Greenwood sing about America, because we love America and we are always proud of being Americans," she said. "And we don't apologize for being Americans."

You know, I never want to say I hate anybody.  Politics is about power.  And it is about money--hundreds of billions of dollars that get doled out to the winners.  But, in my personal life, with so many of my really good friends being life-long Republicans, I always try to tell myself, "We all want the same things.  We all have the same beliefs.  We only differ in the way we think government should be used to get there."

But then Republicans keep running total stupid assholes like George W. Bush and Sarah Palin and I'm left throwing my hands up in the air and shouting, "Oh, c'mon, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt--could you at least please take it!"

And the answer is: no, why?

And so I'm forced to hate morons like Sarah Palin, who, if the Republican party took democracy or government or our American society at all seriously, I never would have even heard of.

Because, again, she's a moron.  She doesn't know anything.  She can't do anything except say things that politicians who would like to have a career would be too embarrassed to say.

This idiot is attacking Obama's spouse for not being proud to be an American when she is married to a guy who was a registered member of the Alaskan Independence Party.  

That's the party whose...well, read it for yourself:

The Alaskan Independence Party's goal is the vote we were entitled to in 1958, one choice from among the following four alternatives:
 
1) Remain a Territory.
2) Become a separate and Independent Nation.
3) Accept Commonwealth status.
4) Become a State.
 
The call for this vote is in furtherance of the dream of the Alaskan Independence Party's founding father, Joe Vogler, which was for Alaskans to achieve independence under a minimal government, fully responsive to the people, promoting a peaceful and lawful means of resolving differences.

Since Alaska's already a state and no one gives a shit about being a "territory" or a "commonwealth", and, since Joe Vogler absolutely hated America, you can be pretty sure the Alaskan Independence Party's goal is to become a separate and independent Nation.

Which is okay by me.  I could give a flying fuck.

Frankly, I'm a little tired of sending my hard earned tax dollars up to Alaska to subsidize the great Socialist People's Republic Of Alaska.

So, by all means, go.

And Alaskan independence won't make a single penny's worth of difference at the pump.  It'll just amount to a couple of hundred thousand angry yahoos that you don't have to send money to every year so that they can be bitter about having the hobnailed boot of America shove hundreds of millions of dollars down their protesting throats.

It's completely true.  Alaskan oil costs the same exact amount as Saudi Arabian oil.  But when we get fucked by Saudi Arabia, we don't have to build their bridges and highways, and pay their Social Security and Medi-care.

Let them go! Go, whackjobs!  Go!

Aside from all that, Sarah Palin is married to a guy who was a registered member of a party whose stated goal was independence from the horrifically oppressive government of the United States of America, and she's running around attacking Obama's spouse for insufficient pride in being an American?

Sorry, I never heard Michelle say she'd actually like to renounce her citizenship and take part of America with her.  Maybe I missed that.

Or maybe Sarah Palin is an asshole.

I guess a republican domestic terrorist is a whole different kind of creature than a democratic domestic terrorist; the former is invisible to any salaried reporter, and the latter is apparently the end of civilization as we know it. Gee, who knew?
