Sarah Palin: Not A Pro Liberty Candidate

I am part of a growing number of liberty advocates becoming very nervous about how cozy we are getting with party approved puppets like Sarah Palin. Contrary to talk radio spin, Sarah Palin IS the favorite of the Beltway politicians, even though she is billed as an outsider. It's part of her branding, and nothing more. The beltway Republicans know that their message will not resonate as long as it appears they are still in power.

In comes Sarah Palin, who is so much like G.W. Bush - from her poor grammar and lack of knowledge on current events, to her ridiculous adherence to the banes of personal liberty: social conservatism, and the warfare state. She is *for* the wars. She talks as if she wants to reform Washington, but if she has to kiss the Republican leadership's collective ass in order to get in power, she will end up like Bush -- all talk, no delivery -- just disappointment.

For those of you who thought that Bush the village idiot was a great President, you'll love his plastic Barbie companion piece - Sarah Palin. You will also love the furtherance of Corporatocracy, replete with cronyism. More derivatives trading anyone??

Does your quest for personal and economic liberty include forcing people to adhere to your religious beliefs? Do you not see the moral conflict in your quest for perfect morality? Can you truly say that you are protecting the Constitution while discriminating against homosexuals (and sometimes even other minorities)? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might want to reevaluate your political affiliation -- Because you are not a pro-liberty activist. The Republican leadership is not pro-liberty, in fact, they are more fascist than anything else.

I would rather see the progressives win than see her embarrass the liberty movement. Ron Paul would not approve. Shame...
