Reported VP Candidate Palin Is Married to a Native Eskimo

by on August 29, 2008 11

Wikipedia says that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is married to a native Yup'ik Eskimo, Todd Palin. And her son is being deployed to Iraq. If the report on CNN that Palin is McCain's choice is true, it shows that the Republicans are imitating the Democrats, and wisely: youth, diversity, and combat-ready children. Palin's sudden attraction–and Obama's Kenya-Honolulu meteor–underscores the lesson to Israel in my earlier post, we live in a global village.

    I heard it was Palin, but I thought it was Michael Palin, with John Cleese as Defense Secretary.

    What!? You will need someone to say "good riddance to him, the freeloading bastard, I hope he fries!” in Sharon's funeral.

    I think the reasoning is very simple: a women as VP appeals to the dissatisfied Hillary Clinton wing of the Democratic party and it also moves McCain a bit more liberal. It is a smart move in terms of raw politics, but I think that Palin will be easily bullied and overrun in an McCain administration, thus in that sense she doesn't matter. It's too bad about Romney, I really liked that fellow.

    I think it is clear now that the major swing vote to be fought over in this election is going to white women.

    He's throwing in the towel already.

    McCain's campaign is desperate and an insult to women.

    Obama's state senate district (13th) had a population in 2000 of 653,647.

    The State of Alaska in that same census year of 2000 was 626,932.

    Obama was a state legislator for six years. She's been a guvvie for two.

    Todd Palin's mother is 1/4 Yu'pik Eskimo. Certainly quite a ways from being a full blooded native.

    So he's one-eighth Eskimo… I expect half of Alaska is:

    Is it okay to call eskimo's Snow Niggers?

    What say you, Sogster?

    What makes you think I have anything against eskimos. They seem like good people to me.

    Well just wait 'til you try to get them to pay for a special Holocaust Museum on the northern tundra.

    Then you'll see they're a bunch of fucking anti-Semites.

    FEMINISM OVER FEMININITY BODES ILL FOR MC CAIN

    Richard Barrett

    Many had predicted that the Republican Party would fail at the polls,
    not because of any strength or attraction by the Democratic Party,
    but because of backlash from its own, betrayed constitutents. Some
    had, even, pronosticated that the GOP had become so mired in lies,
    corruption and perfidy, which trashed its own "Contract With
    America", that it would go out of existence, altogether. The naming
    by John McCain of a female, miscegenationist running-mate, however,
    came crashing through like the last water-tight doors, bursting on
    the doomed "Titanic", sweeping aside any hopes to keep the hulk
    afloat. It's being denominated as "sad" and "tragic," but predictable.

    The modern Republican Party had taken shape in 1964, as the
    last-resort of opposition to the Civil Rights Bill, integration and
    what Southern-Democrats blasted as the "communization" of the
    country. It became known for what were termed "little old-ladies in
    tennis-shoes," who fanned out across the nation, knocking on doors
    and appealing for "traditional values" of "home, family and country."
    There wasn't a "pants-suit" in the bunch. They called themselves
    "conservatives," unabashedly seeking to "turn back the clock" on
    "Brown v. Board", the Voting Rights Act, the Forced-Housing Law
    and all the "Great-Society" measures, which had forced minorities over
    the majority.

    They sensed that forcing Negroes into jobs and offices was only a
    prelude to forcing women, then homosexuals, then aliens in. Their
    organizing and campaigning paid off a decade later, when the Equal
    Rights Amendment was proposed, to supposedly make women "equal"
    to men, the same way the Civil Rights Bill, which had never been
    submitted to popular-vote of the people, was supposed to make
    Negroes "equal" to whites. Phyllis Schlafly turned out to be the
    leading-light, telling enthusiastic audiences that she thanked her
    husband, Bill, for allowing her to appear, that evening, and that she
    just didn't want the ERA "pulling women down to the level of men."

    Crowds loved the newfound "conservatism" and the ERA, once considered
    as much a "shoo-in" as Hillary Clinton, went down down at the polls
    in the same Wicked-Witch-of-the-West melt-down. As a result,
    Schlafly, who had chosen the Republican-Party as her political-base,
    drew new minions and strength to the GOP, resulting in the ouster of
    ERA-backing, VRA-supporting Democrats in 1994 and an historic,
    clean-sweep of the Congress. Not all who chose "femininity" over
    "feminism" chose the GOP, however. Alice Hall, a staunch,
    George-Wallace backer, who delivered impassioned TV-broadcasts
    against the ERA, refused to evacuate the party of FDR and Jefferson
    Davis.

    Clair Baucum, who had campaigned against the ERA in New Jersey,
    even relocated to Tennessee, convinced that casting her lot with the
    Old Confederacy would be a springboard to even greater victories. Her
    fondest dreams of North-South unity seemed to finally be coming true,
    when Nationalists held their massive "Neighborhood, Home, Family and
    Country" rally in Boston. Young Jackie Paul brought down the house
    with her ringing appeal to have more children and stronger families
    and to overturn, once and for all, the demands of minorities,
    particularly the "feminists." Her ranks were swelled by Christians,
    who chimed in that "the man should be the head of the home."

    The "pedestal" for women was not new. A "patriarchal" society, as
    opposed to the "matriarchal" tribalism of Africa, where bastardy
    reigns, had been the key to Western Civilization. Women were
    shielded from the sordidness of politics, drudgery of the workplace and
    bloodshed of warfare, as an attribute of civilized society. Mississippi,
    even, drew raves, when it mocked the "International Women's Year"
    conference by electing men as delegates to oppose what they termed
    the "lesbian-festival." According to delegate Laura Huff, who
    described herself as a "militant-conservative," the ERA would mean
    the "end of marriage." "We've got to protect our children," she warned.

    Huff's worst fears played out when George H. W. Bush elevated
    Clarence Thomas, a Negro married to a white woman, George W.
    Bush installed Condeleeza Rice, a Negress, as Secretary of State,
    and Republican-judges in California ruled that lesbians could
    "marry" each other. "Affirmative-action" was, then, used by the
    Bush-Administration to shove women into the military, promote women
    over men and, eventually, coronate McCain with the "crown-jewel" of
    feminism, Sarah Palin. Had Schlafly been offered the post, she likely
    would have politely declined, saying, "That's a man's position." It
    was immediately dredged up that Palin had boasted of having lesbian
    "friends."

    Palin had used her veto-power, as Governor of Alaska, to pass a
    law granting "equality" to state-employed lesbians, placing their
    "partners" on par with normal couples. She had, also, stated that
    lesbians were being "discriminated against," which meant "okay, let's
    get more lesbians in here and, while we're at it, how about some more
    Negroes, Mexicans and, well, anybody but straight, white males."
    Palin is touted for toting a gun, not exactly the most ladylike of
    attributes, and for having a genetically-retarded child, not exactly
    the dream of Margaret Sanger, who strove for genetic-improvement of
    humanity. Palin, who knew of her defective fetus, refused an
    abortion.

    Palin is under investigation for trying to fire state-trooper Mike Wooten,
    which drew no rebuke from McCain, because, after all, Wooten was
    only a "man." Palin's husband, Todd, is an Eskimo, part of the
    Yup'ik tribe. McCain, who had adopted an Indian-baby, had praised
    Bobby Jindal, an Indian, as a possible running-mate, so stringing the
    GOP up on the noose of miscegenation, as well as feminism, was
    hardly out-of-character. Paulette Simpson of the Alaska Republican
    Women's Federation described Palin as "tough," the euphemism
    for "mannish" once accorded to Harriet Miers. McCain might as
    well have picked Ellen DeGeneris or Oprah Winfrey, but he wanted
    a "Republican."

    I am running a small internet marketing business as my side business. This has helped me cut time when I’m free from my busy schedule. I really get satisfaction when I am my own boss.
