So, According to Palin, rape isn’t rape &…

So, according to Sarah Palin, rape isn’t rape?  It’s the male prerogative, that prerogative granted by (her) Christian god? And, to make matters even more startling, any young female old enough to menstruate is old enough to suffer that male prerogative, and, in fact, should feel “under the Grace of God,” especially if she winds up pregnant?

And John McCain selected THIS ugly excuse for a vagina-packing ( …or is that packed) misfit to be a U. S. Vice Presidential candidate?  I don’t know about you, but this is the LAST thing this country needs in a position of executive privilege.

Tell me this isn’t happening.

Don’t vote the McCain/Palin ticket.  Please.

The Frightening Far Right Agenda (Palin & now McCain, too)

Have you ever looked into the agenda of the far right?  Imagine a country (ours) settled by people who were escaping religious persecution and political intolerance now ruled by people who practice intolerance and ideological persecution.  And not only do they practice ideological persecution, they hold it as their duty as good Christians to their god.

Palin is a Pentecost.  That’s an extreme Baptist sect.  One could also define them as a cult.  They do “alligator dancing” in the aisles of their churches “when the Spirit moves them”; they “speak in Tongues” (garbled gab of no meaning effusing from their mouths, often accompanied by foam).  And what do they advocate?  They, as my ex-brother-in-law so pointedly informed me, are commanded by their god to kill anyone (“pick up a gun and shoot you” to quote) who isn’t part of their congregation…which means anyone not a Pentecost, though I believe they’ll hold their fire against other Baptists, Assembly of God, and similar extreme “right” denominations.  So that means everyone from atheists and agnostics, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Taoists, Wiccans, and Jews to Lutherans, Presbyterians, Quakers, Catholics, Mennonites, Mormons, Methodists…any Christian or non-Christian believer and unbeliever will be open gaime, gleefully terminated when and if they run them down and get them in their gun sights.  That’s scary to think of.

“Oh, no,” say the “rationalists.” The U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights guarantees us freedom of religion.  That won’t happen.”

I remember the “freedom of religion” argument brought up before, and the response?  “‘Freedom of religion’ doesn’t mean ‘freedom from religion'” the religious right screamed back.  And what does that twist mean to them?  It means, yes, you have the right to believe or not believe as you choose, BUT they have a right to inflict whatever damage upon you and yours they choose, their religion delivering (the from religion part) the verdict of pain, harm, and, if mob mentality, Pat Robertson (a Southern Baptist), and the religious rightwing cronies have their way, death, preferably by stoning.  Stoning, by the way, is a very painful, horrible way to die…but, then, these folks enjoy inflicting pain on others, believe in it as their right, because, according to them, you, the “mis-believer” or unbeliever, are possessed by (of) the devil, and it’s the devil they perceive themselves to be stoning.

But, let’s get back to this U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights for a moment.  Do I need to remind everyone of our right to habeas corpus (…until G W Bush abnegated it, that is), of our right to privacy, of our right against unlawful search and seizure and all the rest?  Did that stop Bush, Cheney, Rove, and the entire Bush administration?  Nope.  It sure didn’t.  And they got away with it, with the (stupid) American people and (stupid) Congress, including the (treasonous) Supreme Court who planted Bush in the White House, giving them the green light to do it.

Palin is a Pentecostal Christian who believes that her god has given her this opportunity to set America “right.”  Beware.  AND, in choosing Palin as his vice-presidential nominee, John McCain has aligned himself with that Pentecostal-saturated agenda.  Their version of America is to DICTATE how you believe, to dictate your choices of body, mind, soul, and spirit, and, should you be found guilty in their eyes of being less than “righteous,” they will eradicate you.  That’s Palin’s and, by choosing her as his vice-president, John McCain’s agenda for America and its citizens.

So Now Bristol’s Pregnant to Take the Heat Off Palin and Cover Up?  Or What?  Call Me Suspicious.

I posted this over on the NYTimes article on Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy, announced “after a swirl of rumors by liberal bloggers that the governor’s fifth child, who was born in April, was in fact her daughter’s” where they allowed comments, http://community.nytimes.com/article/comments/2008/09/02/us/politics/02PALINDAY.html .  I posted it at 8:34PM, long before they cut off comments.  The NYTimes chose not to release it…moderated my comment out, in other words.  Hmmm.  Why?  Too close to the truth?

Here’s what I posted, and, you tell me, what reason would the NYTimes have for refusing to allow the comment, especially considering all the other fiery, contentious comments, 1108 of them, a great many posted long after I posted mine.

I’m suspicious. How about: With rumors getting too close to truth (Trig is actually Bristol’s baby), in order to cover Palin’s original lie claiming Trig is her son, how about the Republicans and Palin throw the dogs off the scent by claiming Bristol is five months pregnant (pregnante 2 weeks befor Trig’s birth)? What if the truth is, Bristol is NOT pregnant, but now they get her one of those “tummies” actresses use to look pregnant? Everybody will now lay off seeking the truth about Trig being Bristol’s. Sarah’s deceit claiming the boy as hers will never be discovered, because, overnight, they had the medical records scrubbed. Then, magically, just about a week before the election, Bristol will have a miscarriage, and everybody will be oh so sympathetic…which will bring McCain/Palin some more sympathy votes, right? And no one will ever be the wiser about Sarah’s deceit about Trig. Just me suspicious about all this, mind you, but it is possible. Since it is obvious that Palin and the Rove guided McCain team have enough influence to do it, I’m betting Sarah Palin’s and Bristol’s medical records have already been “fixed.” Only a DNA test of the boy by some unimpeachable lab (hah!) would ultimately convince me that Sarah and her husband are the true parents of Trig. Do I think the Republicans and Sarah Palin truly capable of such deceits and going to such lengths. Most certainly.

COVER-UP/CENSORSHIP POSSIBILITIES UPDATE:  I went to Google, typed Bristol’s Pregnant and found this:

MyDD :: Bristol Pregnancy = Cover-Up

Sep 1, 2008 It should be easy enough to tell if Sarah Palin was pregnant five months ago. It should be even easier to tell if Bristol is pregnant within

Wow.  Somebody is very busy with the dust pan and broom, aren’t they?

Introducing…Barbi for Prez!

I sat in drop-jawed amazement when I heard that McCain, 72 years old with one foot in the grave already, named…who?  Palin?  For VP?  Ah….

Then I started sputtering.  Then I said some very unprintable things.  You see, Palin used public tax money to campaign for the continued cruelly barbaric annihilation of wolves in Alaska.  She’s about as anti-preservationist/anti-ecology as you can get, she’s all for killing wildlife and animals and trees and everything else not classified as human, but she thinks every fetus down to the zygote level, even if it’s the result of INCEST or RAPE, should be saved, saved, saved, this in a world suffering exTREME human overpopulation problems.  She’s a Fundy (Chirstian Fundamentalist) of the WORST variety, thinking she has the right to dictate what Americans will believe — Jesus Christ or get out of the country — and she’s BIG OIL…just like McCain is BIG OIL.  Her mores and ethics only hold for her cronies, and she’s perfectly willing to use any power at her disposal to punish those with whom she disagrees, doesn’t like, or considers enemy, ideological or any other way.  Her idea of fair treatment extends only so far as her good ol’ boys and gals.  That’s it.  And that’s not even scratching the surface of the ugliness she represents, either.  In short, I hate the woman.  I think she’s nothing but flushable — as in toilet contents…and I don’t mean water, either.  Synonyms for this woman?  Cruel, unkind, unthinking, backward, anti-American (as in Constitution & Bill of Rights), pro tyrrany.

But she’s definitely going to appeal to some just because:

She’s got great “face” — glow in the dark teeth, sparkly eyes, a very appealing to the guys feminity, and she’s well-schooled in how to be “whoever you want me to be” in public.

She’s looks like a (slightly used) dark-haired Barbi doll.

In other words, she looks VERY fuckable.

So, with McCain at 72, and Ms. Palin (oh, yeah, she likes Mrs.) at 44 and NO experience, what are the Republicans thinking?  That if McCain bites the big one…which is highly possible, that they’ve got a good face to plaster on TeeWee while they tell her what to think?

…You think?

I’m still drop-jawed.
