Sarah Palin, the Christian Right and Fascism in America

[Lee.T]

Found this article regarding the vice president nomination Sarah Palin who supposedly has five children with one being a Down Syndrome sufferer.

The Daily Kos shows that Sarah Palin could be covering up the birth of the down syndrome baby by her daughter by claiming it to be her baby. I Dont know if this is true but does warrant further investigation.

After looking at the photographs video and quotes on the link provided below, I find just incredible, that a woman who is according to the latest BBC propaganda piece, with quotes from George Bush

"Governor Palin's success is due to her dedication to principle and her roll-up-your-sleeves work ethic and serves as a wonderful example of the spirit of America,"

Also

"Mrs Palin is seen as a strong conservative, fiscally and socially.
She also opposes abortion and her baby son has Down's syndrome. "

I also find this strange that the BBC and probably other main stream news site would mention the fact regarding her oldest son

"Her oldest son joined the US Army on 11 September last year and and is to deploy to Iraq on the same date next month."

If this is the truth it would show this Lady has no Principles at all, and again is another Psychopath in the making, if not already made and seeking power

Maybe she has been taking to much of the Hillary Clinton pills.

"Governor Palin's success is due to her dedication to principle and her roll-up-your-sleeves work ethic and serves as a wonderful example of the spirit of America,"

Sarah Palin seems indeed very hard working according to Wikipedia :

Though she announced that she was pregnant only during the start of her third trimester and one month before Trig was born, her pregnancy is reported to have surprised Alaskans, including her staff. After leaking amniotic fluid, on the day of Trig's delivery, Palin delivered a keynote address in Texas and then flew eight hours to Alaska. She and her husband drove a further 50 minutes to Mat-Su Valley Regional Medical Center, where she gave birth seven hours later. Palin returned to office quickly, just three days after giving birth to Trig.

Why does that remind me of Barbara Bush playing golf right after her daughter died?

Robin died in New York in October 1953; her parents spent the next day golfing in Rye, attending a small memorial service the following day before flying back to Texas. George learned of his sister's illness only after her death, when his parents returned to Texas, where the family remained while the child's body was buried in a Connecticut family plot.

Re: Sarah Palin Is NOT The Mother [Photos+Video]

Some more information from Anchorage Daily News about Palin and her nurturing approach :

The governor, who recently turned 44, told a handful of reporters as she was leaving work to expect a new member of the first family, then headed to a reception at the Baranof Hotel to feast on king crab.

Palin said she's already about seven months along, with the baby due to arrive in mid-May.

That the pregnancy is so advanced astonished all who heard the news. The governor, a runner who's always been trim, simply doesn't look pregnant.

Even close members of her staff said they only learned this week their boss was expecting.

"I thought it was becoming obvious," Palin said. "You know, clothes getting snugger and snugger."

But people just couldn't believe the news.

"Really? No!" said Bethel state Rep. Mary Nelson, who is close to giving birth herself.

"It's wonderful. She's very well-disguised," said Senate President Lyda Green, a mother of three who has sometimes sparred with Palin politically. "When I was five months pregnant, there was absolutely no question that I was with child."

Having a baby as governor has happened elsewhere, but it's rare. The former acting governor of Massachusetts, Jane Swift, in 2001 was the first governor in office to give birth when she delivered twin girls.

Palin beamed as lawmakers, Cabinet members and others came by to congratulate her at the Baranof reception, a legislative event Kodiak officials sponsor annually.

Her husband, Todd, was there holding the couple's sleepy 6-year-old daughter Piper in his arms.

Palin said she's not aiming to take any time off from her job as governor, assuming all goes well with the pregnancy. She said when she had Piper -- Palin was mayor of Wasilla at the time -- the baby was born on a Monday and she returned to the office on Tuesday.

The Kosherization of Sarah Palin

A couple of days ago this story caught my eye. The Palin pick sent yarmulkes spinning. How dare McCain choose a running mate not vetted by Tel Aviv?

Congressman: Choosing Palin an insult to Jews

Democratic Congressman Wexler blasts McCain's decision to choose Palin as running mate, slams her support for 'Nazi sympathizer' Buchanan; However, Jewish sources endorse move, praise Alaska governor as friend of Jewish community

Yitzhak Benhorin
Published: 08.30.08, 18:37 / Israel News

WASHINGTON - Is Sarah Palin pro-Israel or anti-Israel? Democratic Congressman Robert Wexler lashed out at John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin, saying the choice was a an insult to Jewish Americans because of her support for Pat Buchanan. However, Jewish sources familiar with Palin dismissed the attack, saying Palin maintains strong ties with the Jewish community.

"John McCain's decision to select a vice presidential running mate that endorsed Pat Buchanan for President in 2000 is a direct affront to all Jewish Americans, "Wexler's announcement said. "Pat Buchanan is a Nazi sympathizer with a uniquely atrocious record on Israel, even going as far as to denounce bringing former Nazi soldiers to justice and praising Adolf Hitler."

Earlier, Buchanan said that Palin indeed backed him in the past. However, the Alaska governor's support may have been related to Buchanan's domestic policy, rather than his foreign policy views.

Meanwhile, Jewish sources and Israel-friends in the United States told Ynet that the Alaska governor has maintained very warm relations with the small Jewish community in the state, which comprises roughly 4,000 people. Moreover, Palin met with Israeli Foreign Ministry official David Akov, who served as Israel's Consul General for the Pacific Northwest Region.

During the meeting, the two discussed cooperation between Israel and Alaska on various issues, such as counter-terrorism efforts. Akov invited Palin to visit Israel and the governor expressed her desire to do so. She also reportedly told Akov that Alaska's residents love Israel.

Damage control -

Palin at AIPAC: That Didn’t Take Long

September 2, 2008 in News by Jim Lobe | 29 comments

MSNBC and the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) are reporting that Gov. Palin met this afternoon with the board of directors of the America Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and Sen. Joe Lieberman to, in the words of one McCain campaign official cited by MSNBC, put “the American Jewish community at ease over her understanding of US-Middle East relations.” It’s worth noting that Palin, who has obviously been completely off-limits to reporters since she was rolled out as McCain’s running-mate in Dayton Friday, stiffed a reception in her honor sponsored by none other than Phyllis Schlafly a couple hours later. (One wonders what other lobbies have tried to arrange a meeting with Palin in the last 96 hours and with what success.)

“We had a good productive discussion on the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship, and we were pleased that Gov. Palin expressed her deep, personal, and lifelong commitment to the safety and well-being of Israel,” AIPAC spokesman Josh Block said after the meeting. “Like Sen. McCain, the vice presidential nominee understands and believes in the special friendship between the two democracies and would work to expand and deepen the strategic partnership in a McCain/Palin Administration.”

“She was extremely well received,” McCain campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb said, noting that Palin was interrupted by applause twice,” according to the JTA account. He added that Palin spoke about “the relationship between Israel and American national security, and the threats to Israel from Iran and others.”

Evidence of nervousness in the McCain campaign about Palin’s impact on Jewish voters and donors was made clear when the Likudist Republican Jewish Coalition circulated a video of her Alaska office in which it found a small Israeli flag, in the words of Politico, “poking out from behind a drape.”

“I think it speaks volumes that she keeps an Israeli flag on the wall of her office,” RJC’s executive director, Matt Brooks, told Politico in an e-mail. “It clearly shows what’s in her heart.” Politico’s analysis is well worth reading. As I noted Friday, a Nexis search of the two years previous to her selection as McCain’s running-mate failed to find a single published article in which Palin ever mentioned Israel. I suspect it may make it into her acceptance speech Wednesday night.

Re: Sarah Palin Is NOT The Mother [Photos+Video]

Earlier this week, Bob Herbert of the New York Times pointed out that Sarah Palin is being used to create a distraction to keep everyone from focusing on the real issues of concern:

September 2, 2008
Op-Ed Columnist
Head for the High Road
By BOB HERBERT
The Democrats need to be careful about the intensity of their criticism of Sarah Palin.

She may look like an easy target, an appalling lightweight who will send serious voters scurrying to the more substantive Obama-Biden ticket. And the temptation to get on her case probably became greater with Ms. Palin’s disclosure Monday that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant.

But the Democrats should not push this stuff too far. Ms. Palin is a lot more appealing personally than the often testy guy at the top of her ticket. And the inescapable reality is that there are millions of voters who identify with her, and may be quick to resent attacks that they perceive as bullying or overkill.

Here’s the deal: Palin is the latest G.O.P. distraction. She’s meant to shift attention away from the real issue of this campaign — the awful state of the nation after eight years of Republican rule. The Republicans are brilliant at distractions. Willie Horton was a distraction. The chatter about gays, guns and God has been a long-running distraction. And we all remember the Swift-boat campaign.

If you want a real issue, forget all of the above and revisit Monday’s front page of The New York Times. Hundreds of families are being forced out of their homes each month in Louisville, Ky., because of mortgage foreclosures. With record numbers of poor and homeless students, the public schools are struggling.

The crisis has only been made worse by fiscal difficulties facing the schools. Higher energy and other costs, combined with a $43 million cut in state aid, have left the school system in a sorry state.

The reason this should be high on the presidential campaign agendas is that the problems in Louisville are widespread. As Sam Dillon of The Times reported: “As 50 million children return to classes across the nation, crippling increases in the price of fuel and food, coupled with the economic downturn, have left schools from California to Florida to Maine cutting costs.”

Even as these districts are cutting back, wrote Mr. Dillon, “the number of poor and homeless children is rising.”

That is the kind of substantive issue the Democrats should be focused on: how to educate America’s children and improve the quality of their lives; how to bring health care to those going without; how to put America back to work.

To their credit, Senators Obama and Biden seem unwilling to jump aboard the bash-Ms.-Palin bandwagon. Both have been exceedingly mild in their comments about the Alaska governor.

Last week’s Democratic convention dramatically illustrated the most effective approach available to the party. The convention built in intensity night by night with featured speakers who focused powerfully on substantive matters.

Bill Clinton may be wildly unpredictable, but last Wednesday he was magnificent, laying out the challenges that will face the next administration.

Listen:

“Our nation is in trouble on two fronts. The American dream is under siege at home, and America’s leadership in the world has been weakened. Middle-class and low-income Americans are hurting — with incomes declining; job losses, poverty and inequality rising; mortgage foreclosures and credit card debt increasing; health care coverage disappearing; and a very big spike in the cost of food, utilities and gasoline.

“And our position in the world has been weakened by too much unilateralism and too little cooperation, by a perilous dependence on imported oil, by a refusal to lead on global warming, by a growing indebtedness and a dependence on foreign lenders, by a severely burdened military, by a backsliding on global nonproliferation and arms control agreements, and by a failure to consistently use the power of diplomacy, from the Middle East to Africa to Latin America to Central and Eastern Europe.”

Respectful criticism of Sarah Palin is fine. But the great issues of this campaign loom like giant redwoods over the pathetic weeds of politics as usual and the myriad distractions that have turned one presidential election after another into a national embarrassment.

Seventy-two years ago, in his renomination acceptance speech at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia (before more than 100,000 people gathered in Franklin Field), Franklin D. Roosevelt rose above the boiler-plate rhetoric of political speeches and spoke of his generation’s “rendezvous with destiny.”

He warned of the perils to the nation of economic inequality. “Liberty,” he said, “requires opportunity to make a living, a living decent according to the standard of the time, a living which gives man not only enough to live by, but something to live for.”

Roosevelt’s words echo across the decades because they resonate with the very meaning of America, a meaning that is so much deeper than what our politics have become. “We are fighting,” he told his audience, “to save a great and precious form of government, for ourselves and for the world.”

It seems that Herbert is right. Is her nomination another sign that we should be paying attention to?

In case anybody's wondering what it takes to compete in a beauty pageant:
_http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww

I always thought that it takes a certain "kind" of person to sign up for and compete in a beauty contest. At the very least, a very shallow, self-obsessed person who wants everyone to like them and give stuff to them simply because they were born looking a certain way. Not a person who is driven to make something of themselves and contribute something to humanity - just the opposite. So unless Palin had a complete psychological overhaul since her pageant thing didn't work out, I think the "politician" thing would be motivated by the same "drive" as her pageant fling - something very selfish, shallow, and in need of manipulating perceptions of others for her own benefit.

Re: Sarah Palin Is NOT The Mother [Photos+Video]

The pictures sum this woman up rather well.
The Hitler-like salute and demonic happy face on heels pretty much nail it in my opinion.
Some questions for the "super-woman" that we'll probably never hear being asked:

Sarah, is it true that you claimed the war on Iraq was part of God's plan?
What exactly is this "God" and how do you know its plans?
What is your proof that this entity exists?
Are you hot-wired to this "God" so that it can tell you what to do when you preside over the Senate and step in for Bomb, Bomb Johnny if he should fall ill?
Are you in favor of conquering the world for Jesus?
Is the U.S. financial situation dire or healthy?
The Bush administration has repeatedly claimed it is sound and strong.
Are they lying to the population about this?
Do you believe government reports concerning the CPI, GDP, and other assorted economic statistics?
Why is it healthy to hold interest rates below the rate of inflation if the economy is growing at over 3%?
Are you in favor of creating money out of thin air to support the FDIC, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac?
What stands behind the U.S. dollar, since there is no backing by gold or silver any longer?
Exactly how much gold is in Fort Knox and if you don't know, would you favor an immediate audit to find out the truth?
What are your qualifications in the area of economics?
In the world of today, would a V.P. of the so-called greatest economic power on earth need any qualifications in this area or would "God" take care of all that?

About Sarah Palin

I just read this article posted on Democratic Underground and thought it was a textbook depiction of a psychopath, so I thought maybe the sott editors / staff would also like to take a look, see of it is credible and possible post it on sott…

The Article is like reading a chapter in Hervey Cleckley’s book “The Mask of Sanity”, and it starts out by describing what a great, wonderful and well respected person Sarah Palin is, and then the author does an excellent job of removing the mask of sanity and revealing Sarah for what she is.

Ok enough said, here’s the link so you can check it out, and possible post it with some added sott footnotes and Ponerology perspective…

The article Title is: “I am a resident of Wasilla, Alaska. I have known Sarah since 1992.”
