More and more crap. Libs just don't like it. They just said that Sarah's husband had a DUI. It was only 22 years ago! Bet if they dig further they will find that he used to crap in his diapers.

thats like being a "little" pregnant..even if the list is exagerated, the fact that Palin attempted to have anything banned should be cause for concern....

PS...the list included ALL of my favorites...oh yeah...I LUV not being part of the crowd...!!!

Yeah, we've checked into that and it's confirmed. Even more shocking is that Sarah used to as well.

You're whining cause someone copied an article into the forums?

sorry. never heard of her before i read this article.

The list is real. It just has nothing to do with Palin.

Here she alleges John Kerry shot himself on purpose to get a Purple Heart. A complete fabrication.

Sorry if I missed it...what was her reason for wanting the books removed?

Simply because a book is there one doesn't have to check it out. Just like not watching a TV show or visiting a website. It is called personal choice.

My difficulty is when an other attempts to push their belief system on me as though mine has not value.

Well, it's likely she never asked to have books removed... only inquired as to procedure and whether the librarian would object.

It's up to you to decide what that means. It's a little scary to me.

Thank you for the clarification.

Agree that is scary. How come a person would want to know the procedure if they hadn't give some thought to doing it or had been asked to possibly do it.

The argument I have seen is that she had been asked by her constituents to check in to it and was therefore just doing the will of the people. And I don't buy that. Banning books is scary stuff and, if asked by her constituents, she should have said "No, I won't". And if she went so far as to inquire, I have to believe she thought seriously about doing it. Some time after the librarian told her she would object to any attempt to ban books, the librarian was sent a letter asking her to resign. There was no indication for the reason. You can draw your own conclusions there.

Agreed. Whether she actually banned books or not is irrelevant imo, the fact that she is even interested in whether or not it could/would be done is enough for me.

I don't care if 80% of the population wanted to ban/burn a specific book, it is still WRONG on all levels.

As was said, you don't have to read the book. If you are a concerned parent, then maybe you should be more involved in your child's life and know what they are involved in.........rather than expecting everyone else to be.

Banning books, or even considering banning books, is more than taboo, imo. It is some seriously scary sh1t......... There is enough censorship as it is........too many great works lost to evil tyrants who were threatened by them.

That is the only reason people "ban" things, is because they feel threatened by them.........why exactly would you feel threatened by a book?? My mind says, only if it had some ideas or truths that had the ability to disrupt YOUR status quo...........and imo, disrupting the status quo is exactly what we need.

But what do I know?

excellent conversation

Lyanna, You did it again. You put up post with no proof. Everyone clams Bush started this war with lies, don't you think you're doing the same thing?

Well said

Did they find the WMD's? Cool!

I like her because she is not Obama

just because they were not found does not mean they didn't have them. If you knew how they are stored then you understand why they can't be found. It does not take much to kill thousands, so a small amount can be anywhere.

The list may not be accurate but her attempt to ban books and fire the librarian who refused to go along is true and a matter of public record.

I did it again eh?

Funny I don't see you accusing any of the obviously right leaning posters of inaccuracies. Guess it's one of those cases of selective criticism we've all seen on these forums again and again.

When I have posted proof, like the link to McCain's page, I am criticized by people who don't even bother to check the information I provide to back up my post.

I guess I should thump a bible, instill fear, call names and ignore facts. Those sorts of posts do well on this site.

Bill clinton believed there was WMD and he also wanted Saddam out of power.

US President Bill Clinton remarks "(Hussein's) regime threatens the safety of his people, the stability of his region, and the security of all the rest of us. Some day, some way, I guarantee you, he'll use the arsenal. Let there be no doubt, we are prepared to act." Senate Democrats also passed Resolution 71, which urged President Clinton to "take all necessary and appropriate actions to respond to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
