Kudos go out to Ms. Palin for her energy and enthusiasm. She has re-invigorated the Republican ticket with her presence by bringing back the extreme conservatives. Of that there is no question. But now that the extreme right is front and center, will someone stand to call them on their duplicity.
Will someone please ask how someone can claim to be pro life and with the same breath support chosen war? The version of Pro Life that she represents holds a selective premise where by a child in the belly of an American is valued over all, but the life of an innocent Iraqi child within vicinity of Shock and Awe does not have the same value. The foreign child is an accepted casualty of war. How exactly is that Right To Life? A life called collateral damage. Collateral damage in an optional war. And their positions continue with threats of violence to other countries that stand against "American Values". I am sorry but that is anything except Right To Life by any stretch of the words.
Her running mate states no to torture, but yes to chosen war. Anyone, or any group who holds such positions should simply not be believed when it comes to judgment. No one with good judgment could settle on such gross and fatal duplicity. The inconsistency is too great on a notion that is actually quite straight forward and does not really have any grey areas. And if judgment is so mal aligned on something so straight forward, then they should not be given much attention. The position makes no real sense.
Call any local "right to life" office near you. Asked them what their position on this and the next war is. Ask if they have done anything to call and end to this chosen war. They need to be exposed for what they are. False prophets.
