Palin-tology

[madmusic]

Steve Lopez:, L.A. Times:

Munger, who writes the Progressive Alaska blog, told me Palin is not just a creationist, but a "young Earth" creationist who believes that man and dinosaurs once shared the planet, and that the world will end in her lifetime.

Palin-tology, you might call it.

Munger claims she tried to stock the local school board with creationists several years ago, which caused him to quiz her on her beliefs.

"She doesn't believe in science, and her father was a science teacher," Munger said. "She told me she felt she would see Jesus in her lifetime."

If true, that's a little scary. But no more so than her view that a woman who's pregnant because of a rape shouldn't be allowed to have an abortion, or that the Iraq war is "a task that is from God." And you have to wonder if Jesus would have sued the federal government to have polar bears removed from the endangered species list.

1. "She told me she felt she would see Jesus in her lifetime."

Not if he sees her first.

Seriously.

5. The point is to find how her beliefs impact policy

her beliefs are unimportant. I feel she is quite comfortable combining her beliefs into laws. That's the problem.

6. I disagree that they're "unimportant"- if someone LITERALLY believes the Earth is only 6,000 yrs old

they shouldn't be in charge of a fry machine, much less a Modern, Post-Industrial Superpower.
