About removing certain books. My daughter went to The Thatcher School in Ojai, California. She was the only person of color in the freshman class. One of the required books on the reading list was Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The students of color were uncomfortable with the book. I tried with the help of United Cultures at Thacher, to get the book-removed form the classroom discussion list, however I was told that it was not possible. I was dismayed that even though the state of California removed the book, Thatcher did not consider the feelings of the students of color! So many other great pieces of literature could have been substituted. If I had the power, I would have fired the Headmaster!

I saw many mindless drones waving flags for the Democratic Party. For a man that has no foreign experience, had never been a mayor, never been a governor, never has run a company, been in the Senate and has done nothing. He is now trying, and is using the accomplished women in the Democratic party, including Hilary Clinton, to help him convince the rest of us that were not there waving flags, he is worthy to be President, not VP mind you, but President I don’t think so!

He cannot make a decision and stick to it. He has now changed his mind on tax reform.

He has been a member of a Church for over 10 years, has heard Rev. Wright sermons, and has never thought to speak out against racist comments.

I could go on and on about reasons why this man should not be President, but my time is too precious to waste on him.

Hey, I was a single mother raising three children and you had to be tough.
The then joke was:
Question: “What is the difference between Jewish mom and a bull dog?”
Answer: “A string of Pearls”

Therefore, I say good for you Sarah Palin. Do not be afraid to do the right thing. Stand up, speak up, and be heard.

No sex education! Whoops! Teenager has a baby!
Shouldn’t that be a clue?
Brother-in-law is harassing her sister. Palin pulls strings to get him fired. Is that going too far?
Doesn’t like some of the books in the local library. She asks the librarian if she would mind removing certain books. The librarian indicates she will not tolerate censorship. Palin gets her fired.

The common thread here is the self-appointed assumption that what I (Palin) decide is better for you than what you decide. Ohh, that smacks of totalitarianism! Too bad it hasn’t worked, doesn’t work, and won’t work in the future. Most amazing of all (and tragic) is that some people don’t like to think for themselves. They are mentally lazy, and oh-so willing to let others make these crucial decisions for them. You could see hoards of these mindless drones waving flags and cheering her at the Republican Convention.

Reminds of the Stockholm syndrome. The captives after a while begin to idolize their kidnappers. “I’m going to restrict what you can say and do, but trust me, this will be good for you!” Yeah! Pit-bull with lipstick!
(And the crowd goes wild!)

Palin’s line that he had time to write two memoirs but not a piece of legislature was great. How does he think he can assume such a powerful position on image alone? Or, swaying from one side to the other depending on what he thinks people want to hear?
