I fear Sarah, not because she says what she feels (although I would prefer she say what she thinks) but because of WHAT she espouses.
In Sarah Palin's America, gays and lesbians would be fired for being gay or lesbian and there would be no legal recourse.
In Sarah Palin's America, being a Muslim would be prima facie cause for profiling.
In Sarah Palin's America, pagans would be considered 'witches' and witches would not be tolerated.
In Sarah Palin's America, science would take a back seat to religion.
In Sarah Palin's America, educators would be beholden to the most radical religious beliefs.
These are based NOT upon some paranoia, simply upon her *own* statements.
She is in favor of profiling Muslims because they are Muslims.
She belongs to a church that engages in 'spiritual warfare' against 'witches'.
She believes the Earth has been around less than 10,000 years
She believes that research on fruit flies is a waste of time.
She believes that we can drill our way out of an energy crunch.
She believes that creationism should be taught in schools.
Yes, that scares me. There are conservatives I disagree with but they dont' scare me (John McWhorter and Shelby Steele leap to mind). Then there are Sarah Palin and her supporters--they scare me and that fear is justified.
