Ms Palin's bookery
Let's spend a few moments browsing the list of books Mayor Sarah Palin
tried to get town librarian Mary Ellen Baker to ban in the lovely, all-American town of Wasilla, Alaska . When Baker refused to remove the books from the shelves, Palin threatened to fire her. The story was reported in Time Magazine and the list comes from the librarian.net website. I'm sure you'll find your own personal favorites among the classics Palin wanted to protect the good people of Wasilla from, but the ones that jumped out at me were the four Stephen King novels (way to go Stephen, Joh n Steinbeck only got three titles on the list), that notorious piece of communist pornography "My Friend Flicka," the usual assortment of Harry Potter books, works by Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, Kurt Vonnegut, Mark Twain (always fun to see those two names together), Arthur Miller, and Aristophanes, as well as "Our Bodies, Ourselves" (insert your own Bristol Palin joke here), and the infamous one-two punch of depravity: "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Little Red Riding Hood." But the cherry on the sundae, the topper, is Sarah Palin's passionate, religious mission to clear the shelves of the Wasilia Public Library of that ultimate evil tome: "Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary." That's the one with "equality," "free speech" and "justice" in it. Go over to your book case and take down one of the books you'll find on the list (I know you've got a couple) and give it a read in honor of the founding fathers. Then tell me I'm not the only voter who doesn't want this woman within thirty feet of the United States Constitution.

Sarah Palin's Book Club Not that I'd vote for the ticket but did you bother to read any of your own link? NOTE the last paragraph witht he high-lighted word "note." Fair is fair (not that right-wingers care anything about playing fair). Dave in Houston Sarah Palin, VP nominee Posted in hi | Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008 | Trackback Tags: banningbooks, books, libraries, sarahpalin I try to keep "who to vote for" politics pretty well off of this blog and prefer to discuss politics in general and better and worse strategies for promoting libraries in whatever political climate we happen to be in. People acutely interested in high level politics in the US who also work in libraries may be interested in this Time magazine article about Sarah Palin. I was very interested in this paragraph. [Former Wasilla mayor] Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." The librarian, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire her for not giving "full support" to the mayor. Usually I'm just happy to see libraries even mentioned in national level politics, but not like this. Mary Ellen Baker resigned from her library director job in 1999. note: there's some buzz being generated that says that this post contains a comment that lists the books that Palin supposedly wanted banned. The list is here, but there appears to be no truth to the claim made by the commenter, and no further documentation or support for this has turned up. http://www.librarian.net/stax/2366/s...in-vp-nominee/ http://www.time.com/time/politics/artic le/0,8599,1837918,00.html |

I'm sure you'll find your own personal favorites among the classics Palin wanted to protect the good people of Wasilla from, but the ones that jumped out at me were the four Stephen King novels (way to go Stephen, Joh n Steinbeck only got three titles on the list), that notorious piece of communist pornography "My Friend Flicka," the usual assortment of Harry Potter books, works by Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, Kurt Vonnegut, Mark Twain (always fun to see those two names together), Arthur Miller, and Aristophanes, as well as "Our Bodies, Ourselves" (insert your own Bristol Palin joke here), and the infamous one-two punch of depravity: "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Little Red Riding Hood." But the cherry on the sundae, the topper, is Sarah Palin's passionate, religious mission to clear the shelves of the Wasilia Public Library of that ultimate evil tome: "Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary."

Even the least religious of the bunch (Jefferson, Paine, and Franklin leap to mind) made some general gesture to a creating God from which all rights flowed. The protections in the Constitution regarding religion are there to protect *religion* (from the government). They are not there to protect the government from any religious influence. That bit of intellectual sleight-of-hand was invented in the early 20th century by so-called "progressives" (who are no such thing). I don't want to live in a theocracy, but I'm far more worried about being overtaken by the Leninists on the left (like Obama) than I am about a person of deep personal faith occupying office... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ |

The list of books you gave came from http://www.adlerbooks.com/banned.html Which has nothing to do with Palin. See the following: http://www.librarian.net/stax/2366/s...in-vp-nominee/ Yes. Indeed. Did you see the part that said: Quote: ----------------------------------- # dw Says: September 3rd, 2008 at 10:44 The source of the list appears to be this site, which I got to from this site, which I found by googling the very first titles on the list as a single search term (A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine LEngle). This list obviously has nothing to do with Palin whatsoever. # Ryan Says: September 3rd, 2008 at 10:53 The list of banned books is inaccurate. Several of the titles listed above, most notably the Harry Potter books, had not been published yet in 1996 when Sarah Palin attempted to fire the librarian. ----------------------------------- You know, BOTH vocal liberals and conservatives tend to fire away without researching the truth. |

It was not ad hominem. Obama has made clear the deep influence his mother had upon him. She was very much in the Marx/Lenin camp. Moreover, his wealth redistribution schemes are a page out of the same hymnbook. He appears to be a fine father and devoted husband. He appears to be a generally decent person and a brilliant orator. He has really bad ideas ... ideas so bad, he should never see the inside of the White House except as a tour visitor. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ |

Don't want no book burner in no White House! Since I am forced - by law - to pay for the libraries in my locale', there are several I'd like to see banned for lack of any evident merit: Anything by Michael Moore, Bill Maher, Al Gore, Sean Hannity, and Lyndon LaRouche. I hate paying for their drivel. You can easily remove my ability to influence the content of the library by having the government ceasing make me pay for it. It's real simple - when you accept the government dollar (un-Constitutionally, in this case) you also accept the scrutiny of *all* the people who pay for it. That's why the government has no business in the arts, schools, and so forth: You cannot meet the expectations of the diverse set of ideas held by those who pay for it. The purpose of government is to maintain an environment of freedom wherein each of us is free to express our ideas and support those who share our views as we see fit. It is flatly immoral to make any of us pay for ideas with the force of government which we find offensive, corrosive, or flatly wrong. Freedom of speech is fundamentally abrogated when we make people support (again, by government force) ideas with which they do not agree. It is just as bad as banning ideas, books, movies, and art. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ |

And that conclusion comes from...... Don't want no book burner in no White House! |

OT: Ms Palin's bookery
Larry Blanchard wrote in
news 
If everything you note here is 100% true, she and McCain are still a miles better choice than Obama and Biden. I'd vote for W for reelection a third term before I'd vote for those two Leninists. (And I can't stand the Republican party.) Nice to see you reiterating your middle of the road stance, Tim :-). I wonder if equating someone to Marx, Lenin, et al, should rate the same automatic disqualification as Hitler equates do? Larry, Never argue with the ignorant. They'll drag you down to their level, and then beat you on experience. Scott |

Every second of this campaign not spent talking about the Republican
Party's record, and John McCain's role in that record, is a victory for John McCain. Her critics like to say that Palin hasn't accomplished anything. In the space of ten days she's succeeded in distracting the entire country from Bush's record -- and McCain's complicity in it. My friends, that's accomplishment we can believe in. Keep your eye on the ball. |

Ms Palin's bookery
I don't want to live in a theocracy, but I'm far more worried about being overtaken by the Leninists on the left (like Obama) than I am about a person of deep personal faith occupying office... I, for one, am deeply concerned about a (any) President using the office to impose, and thus enforce, by Presidential decree and administrative action the beliefs and theology of a specific denomination. The creation of an ipso-facto state religion. There is a line, and I have no concept where that line is, that should a President cross it, would lead to claims the President has violated his oath of office by actions which are blatantly and defiantly opposed the 1st amendment. In such a situation, after Supreme Court review, could likely give cause to the Congress to start Impeachment processes. For example: If the President, by decree, refuses to provide federal funds to any public school districts which will not teach creationism. or If the President, by administrative decree, halts all medicare reimbursements to any hospital that has extended admission privileges or staff position to any Doctor who performs abortions. The Democratic Party does not claim the either Obama or Bidden to be above the Constitution. Obama will enforce the Constitution, and the laws authorized and enacted by Congress as interpreted by the Federal Courts. McBush and Palin scare me (down to my toes) when they give speeches proclaiming their desire to impose a minor religious sect belief system upon this nation by their actions (if elected.) Even if those actions are in opposition, or in violation, of current statues or decisions from the Federal Court(s) system. BTW: I completely, and totally reject any and all arguments that the constitution's first amendment does not protect the Federal Government from any specific religious denomination taking control. |

I, for one, am deeply concerned about a (any) President using the office to impose, and thus enforce, by Presidential decree and administrative action the beliefs and theology of a specific denomination. The creation of an ipso-facto state religion. There is not now, nor has there ever been any serious risk of that in the US. It is a red herring thrown out by the lifestyle liberals and various anti-religionists. If anything, American culture and government today are *less* religious than at any time in our history. There is a line, and I have no concept where that line is, that should a President cross it, would lead to claims the President has violated his oath of office by actions which are blatantly and defiantly opposed the 1st amendment. In such a situation, after Supreme Court review, could likely give cause to the Congress to start Impeachment processes. For example: If the President, by decree, refuses to provide federal funds to any public school districts which will not teach creationism. You're focused on the symptoms, not the disease. There is no Constitutionally enumerated power for the Federal government to fund *any* education. Doing so is an arrogation of power to the Feds that properly belongs in the hands of "the people and the states." If you're all that worried about an overweening religious president, all you have to do is demand that the Federal government be trimmed back to its proper and Constitutionally limited roles - there won't be enough there for religion to make much of a difference one way or another. or If the President, by administrative decree, halts all medicare reimbursements to any hospital that has extended admission privileges or staff position to any Doctor who performs abortions. More examples of Government Gone Wild. Oh, and BTW, as a person of pretty deep principle and conviction on the matter, you and yours are violating *my* civil rights when you make me pay for your infanticide. The Democratic Party does not claim the either Obama or Bidden to be above the Constitution. Obama will enforce the Constitution, and the laws authorized and enacted by Congress as interpreted by the Federal Courts. No he won't. He will expand social entitlement spending, wealth redistirbution, and generally ignore the limits of power explicit in the doctrine of enumerated powers. If it makes you feel better, so will McCain. But Obama is almost overtly Leninist in his hatred of wealth, achievement, and success. McBush and Palin scare me (down to my toes) when they give speeches proclaiming their desire to impose a minor religious sect belief system Please cite where they have done so. (BTW, Judeo-Christianity, in its various expressions is hardly a "minor" viewpoint.) upon this nation by their actions (if elected.) Even if those actions are in opposition, or in violation, of current statues or decisions from the Federal Court(s) system. Nothwithstanding the left hallucinations to the contrary, the courts are not supposed to be deciding what the law is. They are supposed to be checking to make sure that laws in question are *Constitutional*. Since neither the left nor right give a rats ass about the Consitution any more, today's politics are simply a tug-of-war over whose perversions of law will be enforced for the next 4 to 8 years. BTW: I completely, and totally reject any and all arguments that the constitution's first amendment does not protect the Federal Government from any specific religious denomination taking control. You're free to reject what you like, you are not free to invent your own facts. It is simple, plain, and historically clear that virtually every framer made direct appeals to their personal religious views when constructing their theory of individual rights / structure of government AND in their later conduct as government officials. It is no accident that Congress began with a prayer. It is no accident that references to "God" pepper their argument - their *public* argument. Our government - from its inception - was deeply influenced by Judeo-Christian people and ideas. The fact that this annoys you doesn't change the fact. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ |

The idea that even one billionth of one cent of my money makes into the pockets of political parasites like Gore and Moore makes me writhe in pain. That seems to me to be a major difference between the neocons and traditional conservatives. The neocons seem to want all government supported organizations to espouse ONLY the neocon view of the world. Of course, the PC branch of liberalism is just as bad. Whereas the Constitutional view is one in which the Federal government is so limited in scope that none of this would even be a discussion. Traditional conservatives and liberals believe in letting all points of view compete. Since many people can't afford to buy every interesting book that comes out, the public library serves as their access. So ... because the ends appear good, any means is OK, including violating the Constitutional limits on Federal power? If people want to have libraries in their communities, let them tax locally for them. There is no place for the Feds in this discussion. Now if you'd like to ban that ridiculous "left behind" series, I might support that proposal - just kidding :-). They make excellent bird cage lining. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ |
