Read My Lipstick...No New Ideas

In an attempt to deliver a stirring, dramatic and historic speech, Sarah Palin instead resorted to a speech filled with unfair attacks, sarcasm and inaccurate references to herself and promising changes that were both disingenuous and not plausible. Check out this article from her hometown newspaper http://www.adn.com/sarah-palin/story/515517.html

What Palin failed to mention is anything about many of her extreme positions on abortion rights, global climate change, equal pay for women and gun control issues. She gave the impression that she is against government waste and fights for her citizens as a reformer, but her limited experience as mayor and then governor of Alaska shows us just the opposite.

But a recent list of books that she wanted banned from the Wasilla Public Library truly demonstrates that Palin not only has no new ideas, but is really a throwback to days of old when we needed to always be full of fear, to go back to days when we had a less than equal world and where anyone who does not look like Sarah Palin must fight every day for the same rights and privileges that she and her family have come to take for granted.

This is the list that comes from the records of the Wasilla library. Most of these books are not a surprise, but some of them do raise some questions as to whether she wants citizens to be left completely uninformed and uninspired.

Here’s the list and a little preamble that goes along with the list from the person who provided this list of proposed banned books:
