    What is disturbing about Palin

    is not her beliefs, everyone is entitled to believe what they will, but her insistance on forcing her beliefs on others. I would not object to her being Vice President if she didn't stand in picket lines to oppose abortions, or declare her disaproval of certain books, movies, whatever... It is her abuse of power, her attempts to fire people for standing in defence of their constitutional rights that make her dangerous. She looks to be worse than Dick Cheney, especially following on his heals to an office that has more power, thanks to him, than ever before. It is the goal of people like her to bring on armeggedon, as if we aren't heading there fast enough without their help.
