    There is one position of Palin's I can agree with...

    Let Alaska secede from the Union and form their own little theocracy. Then President Palin can take all the religious nutjobs with her to have their little utopia while waiting for the rapture.

    I'm already tired of Palin and all the pinhead apologists in her cult continuing to screw up what was once a (and can be again) great country. There is a reason the Founding Fathers insisted on separation of church and state.

    If the last 8 years aren't indication enough as to what happens when you let the children run the store, then there is no hope for you.

    To all the christianistas: Take your bible and run along up to Alaska with it while the adults clean up the mess you made.
