Swamp Of Fear And Loathing...
Sep. 5th, 2008 07:27 amMuch as I cannot vote in the US Presidential Election, I still have an opinion; mainly because American foreign policy has such an impact on the world and on a smaller, more personal, level, the USA is one of the few first world countries not to permit same-sex civil partnerships. Because God says so.
And my opinion is this: Sarah Palin scares the cr@p out of me. She represents the God wielding; family obsessed; opinion blinkered fanatic that appear to have a lot of power within the Republican party. And if in power has the potential to create a new low in American gay rights. Because God says so. Now, I am all for families but the family is but one aspect of society. The couples; the single people... There appears to be an obsession that if you are not married with kids, then there is something un-American about you.
Or is that something that I have percieved from the media? Let's get on to specifics. The story of how she tried to get rid of the librarian in the city of Wasilla because she didn't agree with Palin's desire for censorship. Speaks volumes to me.
Of course, any opinion expressed is that of someone who does not live in the US (but might quite like to) and still naieve regarding American politics. So, please take with a liberal dose of Sodium Chloride!
