“All this acrimony is about your hatred for Governor Palin. Why dont you admit it?”
I don’t hate her at all. But this much I will not only admit, I will loudly proclaim. I think she is a lousy mother driven more by her own ego than any maternal instincts. I think her theology is peculiar, even heretical by the standards of The Church and her idea that the Iraq War is God’s will or that some pipeline up in Alaska is too is off the wall and extremely dangerous for those overwhelming majority of us in the world who don’t buy into her very parochial type of Christianity. Her comments that Ukraine and Georgia should be brought into NATO and then if Russia attacks them we go to war with Russia makes her a nutcase. The more I hear of this woman, the more I am convinced she’s an American version of Achmadinijad, looking to bring about the Second Coming.
And she apparently appeals to an element of society which calls other people “retard”.
Maybe the McCains didn't tell her that Russian have nuclear weapons (maybe that will be covered in next week's class) and that a Russo-American war would be a no-win scenario. Talk about a highway to nowhere...
I also think she is not doing any expectant mothers any favors with her idea that one can have a baby and be back at work three days later.
I think the women who are so enamored with her may have to re-examine their etnhuisasm when they realize that employers could begin to hold women to Palin's standard.
If the Governor can do it why not everyone else? Why would one have to put up with 8 to 12 weeks of maternity leave, having to hire temps, when it is obvious that women don't need more than three days, as the Governor clearly demonstrated?
