Sarah Palin is not just an idiot, but a dangerous idiot.

It's been said by many, including those on the right, in fact I do believe former Republican Christopher Hitchen was the first. Sarah Palin is not just an idiot, but a dangerous idiot. I will now use her latest act of stupidity, making the allegation that their will be death panels that decide the fate of children like her son, and implying that they will choose euthanasia over long term care, based on their economic value to society. To prove beyond any reasonable doubt that she is not only an idiot, but a dangerous idiot.

For starters she did this despite the fact that every American citizen with severe mental, and/or, physical disability is already being taken care of by the government run social security programs that helps families, or simply take over all care when family is not in the picture. The fact that she said this can only mean a few things. First, she was told to say this and squawked it out like a pea brained parrot that has no concept of the weight that words carry with them. Second, she thought this little gem up on her own, and put it out there for the purpose of creating fear. Third, whether she was told this, or came to her own conclusion is a moot point if she does in fact believe the bull. Let us examine why these are all dangerous.

If she did simply, squawk like a parrot, what she was told to, then she is a puppet. Puppets are dangerous because they are controlled from a far by pulling strings. We the people never get to know, see, or hold accountable, the puppet masters. These unseen individuals can be anyone from party hacks, special interest, or religious loons in the order of the christian coalition, or worse. Point being she doesn't think, feel, or act with out the input of some outside force. This is dangerous.

If she thought this one up on her own then she is a fear monger of the worst degree. Failing to understand the natural progression of human emotion. Fear leads to panic, then chaos, destruction, anger, then hate, and if you hate someone, something, or some group enough you wind up with atrocities on a grand scale. Many of histories most notorious monsters used this to great effect. Remember their are people like Orly Taitz who believe that their is some grand conspiracy, and that their country was stolen from them. People that truly believe that, are also truly desperate, and will fight back at any cost against an imaginary enemy, and they will spill blood. I realize that as I describe this darkness, that I myself am stirring emotions of fear, but I am at a loss on how to describe fear itself, the only real thing that we should be fearful of, as FDR pointed out in his historic 1933 inaugural address. "So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear... is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." Fear-mongers are dangerous. Especially the idiotic ones that can't see beyond their own nose, or to where fear leads.

Last but not least, far from it in fact, if she believes this bull. If she is willing to believe that, their will be government sponsored death panels that are willing to send children to their death, then what else is she willing to believe? That the earth was created 5000 years ago? In "holy wars" that are the will of God? That the "end times" are upon us? That she has a holy role to play, and that it might be her christian duty to rain fire across the land in the form of a nuclear holocaust? Where does she draw the line? I ask because I haven't seen her draw one yet, and that worries me. The founding fathers believe that nobody should be discriminated against because of their religious believes, but then again their were no nukes back then either. They also believed in separation of church and state, Thomas Jefferson coined the term him self. It is wholly unconstitutional for the government, to promote the will of god, or any other deity, by pen, or by rifle. Yet people like Sarah Palin ignore all that, and use government to promote their own narrow view of the bible. If people like Sarah Palin are willing to ignore the first amendment, what about the rest? Will someone like her run for an unlimited number of Presidential terms because they claim it to be god's will? What about the bill of rights? or human rights? Are non-christians subhuman in her eyes? Will we be forced to convert to a narrow view of the christian belief if we want to vote, go to school, or get a job? Can you see why I have a problem with her? Can you see why she is a dangerous idiot?

I think I stated my case pretty well. I think any reasonable person would read this, and come to the same conclusion as I have. Sarah Palin is a dangerous idiot, and should be kept as far away from the white house as possible. I rest my case, and make my exit. I need a drink.
