Edie Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 From an email from my mom. This states the quotes were reported by the Anchorage Daily News in '06, but I don't know that for sure. Below are some actual quotes by Governor Palin during a series of interviews by the Anchorage Daily News in 2006 when she was running for Governor... On Creationism: The simple yet elegantly awkward moose proves God's creation and not evolution is the source of all life. How could something as oddly shaped and silly looking as a moose evolve through so-called "natural selection?" Is evolution a committee? There is nothing natural about a dorky moose! Only God could have made a moose and given it huge antlers to fight off his predatory enemies. God has a well known sense of humor, I mean He made the platypus too. On oil exploration and drilling in the ANWR:God made dinosaurs 4,000 years ago as ultimately flawed creatures, lizards of Satan really, so when they died and became petroleum products we, made in his perfect image, could use them in our pickup trucks, snow machines and fishing boats. Now, as to the ANWR, Todd and I often enjoying caribou hunting and one year we shot up a herd big time, I mean I personally slaughtered around 40 of them with my new, at the time, custom Austri an hunting rifle. And guess what? That caribou herd is still around and even bigger than ever. Caribou herds actually need culling, be it by rifles or wolves, or Exxon-Mobil oil rigs, they do just great! On Alaskans serving overseas in Iraq:Well, God bless them, and I mean God and Jesus because without Jesus we'd be Muslims too or Jewish, which would be a little better because of the superior Israeli Air Force.

This states the quotes were reported by the Anchorage Daily News in '06, but I don't know that for sure. This woman is a weird sicko. Why would you need to personally slaughter 40 caribou? Good thing God likes guns, I can only imagine hunting in heaven. Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 The only times I ever hear about the question of whether it's appropriate for Palin to be a nominee and a mom is when people are decrying it - I've never actually heard the question on its own. It's as if she was introduced thusly: "Presenting VP nominee Sarah Palin, who's a mom - how dare you suggest she shouldn't be the nominee because she's a mom!"There were people on this board saying as much. Mybenito, for one. From an email from my mom. This states the quotes were reported by the Anchorage Daily News in '06, but I don't know that for sure.Those don't ring true.

Is there still anyone around who thinks McCain properly vetted this woman? What gets me is her flawed thinking about how (and how long) petroleum is made -- and she is from Alaska! From wiki: Not to mention basically everything else in the interview.Again, those quotes aren't true. They're obviously satire. Unless you are talking about something else than your mom's email.

Unless you are talking about something else than your mom's email.Well, I'm not sure where you're going there. I admit, I (along with probably 95% of Americans) knew zilch about Palin before her nomination - and it seems like everyday there's some story about her that makes me think why would JM choose such a polarizing figure for VP? Maybe that's his point, I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Another thing that bothers me about labelling Palin as a feminist, is that it seems like not so long ago, alot of Repubs thought that was a bad thing. Oooh Hillary Clinton is a feminist, she's going to ruin our country. If anything, I'd say its because of feminism that Palin is allowed the opportunity she's been given but she's not necessarily a feminist.If Palin is a feminist, then I am a Flat-Earther.

bjorn_skurj Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Why is that the seemingly only important issue for feminists, though? Why or when did pro-life and feminism become mutually exclusive?Because without reproductive rights, women will always be in a subordinate position to men. Link to post Share on other sites

OK - here's my proposal. If a woman doesn't want the baby and the man does, an embryonic transplant can be made, so the man can have all the baby he wants. Link to post Share on other sites

kwall Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 What if you are raped?it's kind of a gray area for me, but i'm ok with abortion for rape victims. abortion on demand is what i find really objectionable. in any case, it's not the federal government's business.

lost highway Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 nobody wants to revoke your right to reproduce. some us think, however, that once you have done so, you should have to deal with the consequences. Yes and there are a number of choices, of ways to deal with that consequence. There is the 'morning after' pill. There is the most responsible and safe early term abortion. There is motherhood. There is the orphanage. Any one of these choices has a myriad of psychological, ethical, financial and emotional consequences. They are all ways of 'dealing' with the consequence. Anyone who does any of these things (perhaps with the exception of the morning after pill) will be 'dealing' with the consequences for a very long time. To suggest otherwise would be callous. Again, not the governments job. If you don't want teenage girls to get abortions work harder to get condoms in high schools and anonymous and free access to birth control pills for women under 18. Oh and keep preaching the gospel too, that has been working really well for population control and maintaining a high socio-economic class for working class families of the faith.

What? Rape, incest, teenage pregnancy, spouse abuse... Oh, and by the way, there are millions of children out there with dick head dads that don't pay a dime, or "deal with the consequences." Also, check out state run foster care and group homes, orphanges etc. Nice job our government does with unwanted children. Link to post Share on other sites
