Both sets of politicals are selling out this nation’s long-term best interests – the only question is… who will be the ones to profit from the disastrous policies they cram down our throats?

Karla, from her Fundamentalist stand on religion to her clueless lack of understanding regarding any form of foreign policy and her dismal understanding of history, Sarah Palin is, by any yardstick, irrelevant.

In the era of Kennedy, the intellectuals of America would have rapidly consigned this woman to the File 13 of bad humor; not because she was female – but because she is a MORON.

Today, however, genuine intellectuals (Obama is likely among their number) are frowned upon; even jeered. Kennedy, as we all know, fared no better (the “Wanted for Treason” posters popping up in Dallas ahead of his fateful visit).

We live in an age where morons are revered for their antihero status; rather than aspire to greatness, Americans seem hell-bent to bring everyone down to their own institutionalized mediocrity.

Palin is just the cheerleader and calendar-girl for this bunch; assault rifle in hand, she flaunts her American-flag bikini and flashes her idiot-grin; Cletus and DaisyMae cheer, and stand in line to have her scribble an autograph on a book which will be on Ebay in a year to pay the grocery tab.

That it won’t fetch a fraction of the $25.00 they paid is a foregone conclusion.

In that, we have a microcosm of America — sold down the river by morons, with the leavings picked over by foreign countries at a trifle of what they were once worth.

Sarah looks for the easy way, not the best way. What Obama is trying to do is not easy. He has taken over the reins at a time when our economy has already been destroyed, when foreign relations have been destroyed, when paranoia, distrust and dissatisfaction is simmering in every alley, every bus station, every work place, every street corner. The people of Alaska have breathed pretty easily over some of his decision making and are patient enough to wait and see if other promises show potential of developing. Obama has reigned in federal interference with State affairs. He has vetoed any further plans for the development of the Northwest Passage until a more comprehensive environmental impact report has been made. He has encouraged the development of our renewable resources, which as given the people high hopes as we have abundant water, wind, and even the ability to tap geo-thermal energy. I spend a lot of time studying Iceland as they have historically used their renewable resources so well; resources that are much the same as Alaska’s. Alaska’s future, along with the rest of the world, lies in protecting our natural renewable resources, not in glutting our minerals, spoiling our land and polluting our waters.

Rich, from the top of the world, it’s like being one of the fringe ends of a spider web that weaves its silky maze to the center. The dots are connected from the circumference, traveling inwards, plaiting over each other, tangling flies and other unwary creatures, while the spider itself; the master of this web; remains hidden.
