    Save us from liberal nicety!!

    Wikipedia supplies the following Palin quote; “We are a nation at war and in many [ways] the reasons for war are fights over energy sources, which is nonsensical when you consider that domestically we have the supplies ready to go.”

    In other words it’s nonsensical to murder hundreds of thousands for oil; the numbers just don’t add up; why bother to waste munitions when we can dig the stuff out of our own backyards.

    Do you notice anything missing? Clue; people (including unborn babies) get maimed and killed in wars. But Palin is “pro-life as any candidate can be.” How does that work? Oh yes, she’s talking about American babies, I forgot that the citizens of Iraq are a special breed, sub human and feel no pain or anguish at the loss of loved ones. They're a bit like moose aren't they? So it’s not a matter of morality, it’s just plain old dollars and cents. Gosh, you can just put it on a simple spreadsheet; it’s really that easy. Silly, silly me. Yes, I now agree that you should spare her daughter.
