Palin claimed polar bears could adapt to living on land
http://www.statesmanjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080901/NEWS/809010338/1001

Palin contends climate models are unreliable, polar bear numbers have not crashed and they've survived other periods of warming. She has also claimed polar bears could adapt to living on land — a contention most international polar bear scientists find unlikely, given that grizzly bears already occupy that niche on land and polar bears have shown little ability to feed on land, other garbage or the occasional whale carcass.

2. "Survived other periods of warming" When if the world is only 5K yrs old?
The wingers floor me with their ability to swap paradigms at convenience.

5. Really kills me how these fundies
DON'T believe in SCIENCE, or Evolution, etc.. but the minute they are SICK they RUN to the Doctor, have an MRI, X-Rays, Antibiotics, all the good stuff that SCIENCE provides, cars, electricity..

Say Sarah, what DID Jesus think about ELECTRICITY? Evil? From Satan?

How about AK-47s? HOW DID Jesus FEEL about Automatic weapons?

KILLING the flora and fauna of the planet? Oh, yeah, there's that thing in the bible about us being the STEWARDS of everything that flies, swims, or crawls, etc..

YOU SUCK, You lying fake fucking Christian Barracuda.. get the fuck out of MY country you crazy ass punk, and take the CORPSE with YOU.. NOT back to ALASKA.. I mean OUT of the Country!! :)

The more I hear the more I DETEST that person. She represents NOTHING American.
