Sarah Palin and the Trooper Truth!

I wasn't very sure about Sarah Palin when she first came on the world scene, and was effectively introduced to all non-Alaskans. I've met American women like her before. All porcelain smooth looks with an electric current running underneath. On meeting, you could get a warm reception or a nasty shock from the experience.

What this so-called "trooper-gate" tells me is that she is definitely a tough cookie. The investion has found she abused her powers as governor. I think she gets muddled up as to whether she is a hockey mom or a Governor of a State in the union. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. She took against her brother-in-law, big time! So she wanted him to "feel the pain". One way was to get him sacked and possibly to sack anybody who wouldn't sack the sacker. Basically, she let her feelings run away with herself.

Now, however much she may want to deny it, this does have a bearing on the election. As Vice-President, would she do something similar? Would she get someone fired because she had a bad day? It goes to show integrity. It goes to show honour. But above all it goes to show character.

I don't care what she does in her own life, who she mixes with. That's not my business. But politicians aim to be in authority, where they can authorise laws. This puts them in the driving seat. As passengers we are allowed to know a bit about the driver.

Another menacing fact is that, once the McCain camp knew of this, they were all over Anchorage like wasps over jam. They were trying to "contain it". But we don't need this kind of political activity. It would have been better to admit what was happening. I'm against all this subterfuge. Mrs.Palin would score better with me if she just admitted that she got hacked off with her ex brother-in-law. We can all get angry, upset or annoyed in life. Covering it all up is many times worse.

Palin warming to the idea of God's global plan!

Sarah Palin is a bit like the curate's egg. Good in parts. She comes across as gutsy, folksy and someone with determination. But somehow the transcripts of her spoken voice leave something to be desired.

I get the impression she's latched onto the "It's all Nature's effects" viewpoint, because it suits her political stance over oil exploration in Alaska. However, she leaves room for suggesting it's partly man-made. I go along with that. It does seem more than likely that it is a mixture of natural change coming together with man-made effects of pollution and industrial wastage.

Where she doesn't do herself any favours, is when she suggests that nothing should be done except to accept that things and people should adapt to these changes without the necessary self-controls. I think she'd rather drill for oil than reduce emissions.

That leads on to suggest that McCain and Palin are not singing from the same hymn-sheet. More here.

Palin's electoral success due to witchhunter's prayer!

The forthcoming US Presidential election is not only vitally important to Americans but to the rest of the world too. Sorry thing is that I don't get a vote. However, I get a say through this blog! Because it is important to me. After all, the spivs and speculators of the sub-prime fiasco have helped destroy one British bank and almost toppled a second, not to mention other businesses going bust by the day.

So I am a bit concerned about who may end up in the White House. If Sarah Palin does, will she bring her witchhunter clerical friend with her as spiritual advisor? For me, it's getting more bizarre but maybe that's what it's all about.

Her friend is Thomas Muthee, a pastor in the pentecostal church Palin attends. She claims this cleric, who founded his ministry with a witchhunt against a Kenyan woman who he accused of causing car accidents through demonic spells, prayed so hard she won the Governorship of Alaska! She says, “As I was mayor and Pastor Muthee was here and he was praying over me, and you know how he speaks and he’s so bold. And he was praying “Lord make a way, Lord make a way. And I’m thinking, this guy’s really bold, he doesn’t even know what I’m going to do, he doesn’t know what my plans are. And he’s praying not “oh Lord if it be your will may she become governor,” no, he just prayed for it. He said “Lord make a way and let her do this next step. And that’s exactly what happened.” Wow! And she became Governor!

What next? Appears God is getting ready to intervene - He's invading Alaska! It's all too much for me.

Sarah Palin's Alaskan Armageddon

Life and death matters for Palin

I'm currently a bit fixated with Sarah Palin. Not in any morally dubious way. Rather that she is seen as espousing "values". Having just read up on her she appears to be the traditional "quite contrary" Christian evangelical with conservative opinions.

She is "pro-life", which means she is against abortion but for the killing of certain prisoners. She is "pro-gun", which means she is against gun control but for the keeping of personal arsenals. She is "pro-oil and natural gas resource development" which means she is for oil exploration and against endangered species protection.

Matthew Wright on the Wright Stuff said, "I like her. She shoots animals", giving a cheeky grin to the camera. That's the odd thing about Christian fundamentalists. They seem to have guns and God and life and love and sex and sin all a bit mixed up. Shooting animals and electrocuting wrongdoers sits quite easily with a selective view of the sanctity of life.

I still have difficulties with the Republican ticket. It seems odd that a self-professed Creationist would want to let Alaska fall into the hands of those that might dispoil that very Creation she believes in. I've got more thinking to do!
