Today, Palin has a tactic to undermine confidence in others to elevate her preceived moral authority to participate in government. She did it when she victimized her former brother-in-law and then again when she acted in vengence against her former Public Safety Commissioner Walt Moneganin. She is doing it again today. To Sarah Palin, "The End Justifies The Means," no different than Bush's invasion into Iraq. A blunder costing the lives of 4,177 Americans to date (click here), and escalated terrorist networks globally due to the abandoned war within Afghanistan against al Qaeda.
7 Palin aides to testify in trooper investigation (click here)
By Matt Apuzzo, The Associated Press October 6, 2008
ANCHORAGE -- Seven aides to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin have reversed course and agreed to testify in an investigation into whether the Republican vice presidential nominee abused her power by firing a commissioner who refused to dismiss her former brother-in-law.
There is no indication, however, that Palin or her husband will testify in the legislative inquiry, which has dogged her for several months and could hurt John McCain in the final weeks of the presidential race....
...Lawmakers subpoenaed the seven state employees, but they challenged the summons. After a judge rejected the challenge last week, they decided to testify, Alaska Atty. Gen. Talis J. Colberg said Sunday.
Democratic state Sen. Hollis French, who is managing the probe, said he again asked Palin and her husband, Todd, whether they would testify."We've had no response," French said....
In her video statement below she demoralizes the patriotism of paying taxes on the heels of defaming Barak's character.
There is something wrong with paying taxes?
There is something UN-American about paying taxes?
Is Ms. Palin and John McCain proposing a tax revolt where NO ONE pays taxes?
That isn't radical? Ah, yeah, it is not only radical, it is illegal. But, hey, they are the Mavericks so proud of being Anti-Republican after all, a reality that caused a failed attempt by McCain to reconcile the bail-out in the House. But, whoever thought a Maverick would be a good mediator anyway.
The Weathermen (click here), later known as The Weather Underground, was a splinter group to SDS, Students for a Democratic Society. The 'times' when unrest in this country, when four students of Kent State were cut down by their own paranoid government under the direction of a corrupt Republican by the name of Richard Nixon, was a time of extreme social turbulence. It was a time when young people were actually better educated then most of their parents for the first time in the history of the USA and began to realize war in Vietnam was simply wrong.
Additionally, there was a draft of young men starting at the age of 19 years old that simply fueled the continuance of a war without end in Vietnam, that was killing millions of citizens. The Draft, which McCain advocates by the way and would reinstitute if elected as he openly stated he would have instated if he were President at the time of September 11, 2001; was inequitable. There needed to be a revamping of the institution of The Draft in a lottery which came underscrutiny and needed to be revisited (click here).
The Vietnam War was wrong. It was a war that allowed for economic gain by of all folks, Wall Street. Those that participated in the war were wrong. John McCain's participation in the war was wrong. He became a prisoner of war due to his own lack of ability to stand up to authority when that authority was completely incompetent (click here for McCain record by the LA Times. Thanks, Mike.). No different than in Iraq where military leadership along with Republican Neocon authority has proven over and over again to be an abject failure and incompetent, costing lives through wrongful war and subsequent anarchy of people without any security in their country; Vietnam reeked of incompetency and John McCain became a POW at the height of the USA military's incompetency in that war.
