Palin, Palin, Palin. Shut up and go back to Alaska

You know I actually hate saying I'm a woman with Palin splashed all over the world. I guess I should re-phrase that....I hate saying I'm an American Woman. Sarah Palin is an embarrassment!

I'm actually an American woman who once lived in Alaska. They had a saying in Alaska, it was on signs everywhere, falling out of every other mouth that opened when I first arrived in Alaska, and that saying you ask? "We don't give a damn how they do it in the lower 48." It is a mind set there, of course most of the residents of Alaska were from the "lower 48". A great deal from Texas during the pipeline project. Alaska at the time and seems to be still if Sarah Palin is a representative of an Alaskan woman, prides itself on being a collection of "Unique" individuals. That is all well and good. I'm all for individualism, to a point. For Sarah Palin to stand up and gush her "hokey, folksy" crap mantra, pandering to the fears and prejudices of others and inciting violence steps over the boundaries of individualism into the mindset of a racist.

There is enough violence in this world, without the Sarah Palins and Glen Becks inciting more of it. Whatever happened to sitting down and discussing differences? If they don't like the health care bill, then sit down at the table and constructively discuss options. If you have no options to discuss or you just don't give a damn hoot about the health of the poor in this country, then shut up and let those that do bring this country back to what it should be about "The People", ALL of the people, not just those that can do for themselves.

Sarah...go back to ALASKA...we in the lower 48 do give damn about our country.
