[Vision2020] Palin and the Jews

[nickgier at adelphia.net]

Hi Jeff:

I've given you several references of the right criticizing the Palin pick, so cut out this far left business.  

I consider myself a middle-of-the road classical liberal, balancing liberty, equality, and tradition in a creative way.  Lately I've found that so-called conservatives have a great disrespect for the traditional views of what a human person is.  I'll take the conservative position on that one, along with my view that our society lacks most of the major virtues.

You can certainly choose your own dangers, but I find it very significant that a good many on the Religious Right find Palin to be a new Biblical Esther and that they would justify military campaigns on that basis.  Palin herself has declared that the war in Iraq is "God's task."  Do you really want this woman as your V-P?

I believe that conservatives and liberals alike should be shocked at this.

Nick
