Let me see if I have this straight...

This was in my inbox today, thought I'd pass it on. My inital response is "Of course Palin is more qualified than Barack to be pres. Since we are governed by corporations we certainly wouldn't want an uppity puppet, we need someone who looks good, doens't make us feel inferior, and can take orders without question.

Three Cheers for President Palin!

Let me see if I have this straight...

If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're
"exotic, different."
However, grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you¹re a quintessential
American story.

If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic ³Muslim² (who, by the
way, is a Christian).
However, name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a ³maverick².

Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
However, attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you¹re well
grounded.

If you spend 3 years as a community organizer, become the first black
President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that
registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law
Professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with
over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and
Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate
representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and
serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's
Affairs Committees, you don¹t have any real leadership experience.

However, if your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city
council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20
months as the Governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you¹re
qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive and next
in line behind a man in his eighth decade of life.

If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising
2 daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real
Christian.

However, if you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then
left
your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a
true Christian.

If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including
the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

However, if, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no
other option in sex education in your state's school system while your
unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in
a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city
community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values
don't represent America's.

However, if your husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI
conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until
age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of
Alaska from the USA , your family is extremely admirable.


OK, much clearer now.
