Sarah Palin --- Book Banner

Some people who never heard of Sarah Palin's name until a couple of months ago are now beginning to understand her a lot more than they did and their initial enthusiasum about her is beginning to wain a little bit. Her near disasterous interview with CBS new anchor woman Katie Couric has shed some real light on just how little she is prepared to handle the job of even vice president let alone president should the 73 year old John McCain be elected and fail to live to the end of his term in office. Even when she tries to take a shot at her democratic counter part for V.P. Joe Biden by claiming that he is too old and says things like "I remember some of his speaches from when i was in grade school" it came back to bite her because every news person after the remark came up to her to remind her that the person that she is running with on her ticket is the oldest candidate ever to run for the office. John McCain is even older than Ronald Reagan was when he was elected to his first term in 1980. Few people however know about Sarah Palin the book banner. When she first became mayor of the small town of Wasilla, Alaska (population 6000) one of the very first things she did was run out to the town library and ask the librarian who worked there how she could begin to go about banning certain books that she objected to that were on the shelves of the library. The librarian responded back to her with an incredulous look and informed her that they dont ban books here. She proceeded to have her fired. That whole incident too ended up blowing up in her face and she eventually had to have the said librarian returned to her job.
It can make you wonder about how well informed she is about the contents of the Constitution. I would refer her to The Bill Of Rights. Its the first amendment, that refers to freedom of speech among other freedoms. It was the intent of the founding fathers that anyone be free to say and write anything in this country and that it would be up to any individual listening or reading it to determine whether or not they believed it or thought it was valid. They never meant for any politician or government official to ban any type of speech ever. This was one of the reasons the Revolution was fought. 230 years later why is it that this kind of stuff is still around? Because people like Sarah Palin are still around who dont get it all these centuries later. The Nazi's used to ban books and burn them not the Founding Fathers. People like Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were too intellectually curious for that kind of nonsense.
