I’m linguistically challenged today.

I don’t see how “McPalin” can legislate a nation-wide ban on the morning-after pill. Isn’t that kind of thing determined by the states? Even if a McCain-led government were to bring in a series of very conservative judges, it’s doubtful they would be conservative enough to try to ban the morning-after pill. And, btw, it’s possible to use ordinary birth-control pills as “morning-after’ ones merely by taking them in large doses after unprotected sex; information on the correct doses is widely available.

Yes, I agree that Obama is a sane and reasonable person, but I doubt that “McPalin” are as mad as you have convinced yourself that they are. Sarah Palin never actually banned a single book; nor did she fire anyone for refusing to do so. There still aren’t any books banned in the Wasilla library, according to sources I’ve read. And her pastor does not permit “speaking in tongues” in his church.

As for Obama’s plans to help the poor and middle classes, if my understanding is correct, part of what ths plan involves is increasing corporate income taxes. I know that North Americans always believe that this is a good idea, but in fact it’s not nearly as effective as many believe. Want to drive more jobs out of the country?

Sweden, one of the most successful of social democracies, keeps corporate taxes low and maintains its social welfare programs by taxing individuals at extremely high rates. That’s one of the ways it has managed to remain a good place to do business. But I don’t see the average American voter accepting this approach any time soon.

I do think that some form of gov’t-subsidized health care would be a good idea for the US. Your present system is crazy – but you-all always insist on tackling these things on such a grand scale. The Canadian system began gradually, at first in one province only. Its success prompted widespread public support, so that doctors’ opposition, and that of the health insurance industry, was relatively easy to overcome. I doubt that Obama’s plan is going to succeed any better than that of the Clintons. Start small, though, and you might pull it off eventually.

Will Obama be able to heal the wounds of racism, merely by being a black President? It’s possible, but such damage is seldom that easy to repair.

And that really is far beyond the issue of reason. The issue McPalin would like to legislate is the availability of the “morning after pill” because morally, by some god, that is like killing a POTENTIAL life. GMAFB!! Perhaps you should watch a poor wolf or bear being run down by “humans” in a plane until they no longer can run and then the “humans” shooting them at point blank range for SPORT! Now is this better than preventing a potential human life? Contemplate that every living being in the universe deserves consideration.

By the way, I do not have to live by the dictates of those who believe they are superiorly moral to me. They know nothing that I don’t. Save their own souls, not mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Grandma, for the courage to say all of this on your behalf. I know you wanted to, but capitulated to the “wrong” right because you felt you had no choice!

Perhaps not. But are not 32-week old “fetuses” children? Are not “born alive” products of abortion children?

Not according to your sainted Obama. He voted against protecting either.
