Sarah Palin's frightening view of the world

I got this email this morning from a friend who said she hoped it wasn't true and that Snopes will (she hopes) prove it wrong.... If it's true, and if Sarah Palin is put into office, there will be an exodus from the USA of bright good productive people who can't believe what has happened. Canada here we come! Horrifyingly, I was impressed last week by Sarah Palin and, in her shadow, John McCain. My family members didn't fall for it. I am an affirmed supporter of Barack and will not waver. But since I was basically spawned in a Republican petrie dish sixty years ago, I have some vulnerabilities when it comes to Republicans. But this is frightening, that this terminator-machine called Sarah Palin could insinuate herself with simple "PTA pluck", into the American gestalt, and lead us all down the path to damnation.

(ED note: The book list of books that Sarah Palin supposedly wanted banned in Wasilla has been removed- not necessarily true.)
"This is unreal. Below are some actual quotes by
Governor Palin during a series of interviews by the Anchorage
Daily News in 2006 when she was running for Governor...

On Creationism:

The simple yet elegantly awkward moose proves
God's creation and not evolution is the source of all life.
Hoq could something as oddly shaped and silly looking as a
moose evolve through so-calle "natural selection?"
Is evolution a committee? There is nothing natural about
a dorky moose! Only God could have made a moose and
given it huge antlers to fight off his predatory enemies. God
has a well known sense of humor, I mean He made the platypus
too.

On oil exploration and drilling in the ANWR:

God made dinosaurs 4,000 years ago as ultimately
flawed creatures, lizards of Satan really, so when they died
and became petroleum products we, made in his perfect
image, could use them in our pickup trucks, snow machines and
fishing boats.

Now, as to the ANWR, Todd and I often enjoying
caribou hunting and one year we shot up a herd big time, I
mean I personally slaughtered around 40 of them with my new,
at the time, custom Austrian hunting rifle. And guess what?
That caribou herd is still around and even bigger than
ever. Caribou herds actually need culling, be it by rifles
or wolves, or Exxon-Mobil oil rigs, they do just great!

On Alaskans serving overseas in Iraq:
Well, God bless them, and I mean God and Jesus because
without Jesus we'd be Muslims too or Jewish, which
would be a little better because of the superior Israeli Air
Force."
