Sexism in America!
Americans saw how Hillary was beat down by the good old boys in the Democrat party. There has not been a female VP candidate in 20 years, until the Barracuda was chosen by the Republican party.
The Barracuda has more executive experience than Obama, Biden and McCain combined, yet men are attacking her experience?
Many men and news reporters say she is not qualified and she is a strange pick? Woman rights activists have been strangely silent and are part of the problem!
It will be on the Barracuda's shoulders to lift women above all of this bigotry, ignorance and hatred in America. GO SARAH!

Sexism more common than racism in America: Katie Couric
American journalist Katie Couric has revealed she and Sen. Hillary Clinton are victims of sexism, which is more common in the country than racism. New York, July 23 : American journalist Katie Couric has revealed she and Sen. Hillary Clinton are victims of sexism, which is more common in the country than racism.
While talking about her struggle succeeding as a news anchor, Couric told Israeli newspaper Haaretz that sexism is more prevalent than racism.
"I find myself in the last bastion of male dominance, and realizing what Hillary Clinton might have realized not long ago: Sexism in the American society is more common than racism, and certainly more acceptable or forgivable," New York Daily News quoted her as saying.
"In any case, I think my post and Hillary's race are important steps in the right direction," she added.
Couric talked about her struggles in the anchor chair and how the job changed over time from what she was hired to do to what she's doing now.

Then you think trial law is bizzare.
Here is an example, Bill Clinton stated "There is no absolute truth" He did this during his testimony in the Monica Lewinsky trial. I disagree, but then a Trial Lawyer would call me ignorant. Get it?
The Barracuda has been a Mayor and Governor. This is all I can do to help you! If you still do not understand, learn what other branches of Govt do and make a comparison.
Executive: In political science and constitutional law, the executive is the branch of government responsible for the day-to-day management of the state. In many countries, it is referred to simply as the government, but this usage can be confusing in an international context. The executive branch contains the head of government, who is the head of this branch. Under the doctrine of the separation of powers, the executive is not supposed to make laws (role of the legislature), nor to interpret them (role of the judiciary); rather, their purpose is to enforce them.
Executive (government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Religion: A religion is a set of tenets and practices, often centered upon specific supernatural and moral claims about reality, the cosmos, and human nature, and often codified as prayer, ritual, or religious law. Religion also encompasses ancestral or cultural traditions, writings, history, and mythology, as well as personal faith and religious experience. The term "religion" refers to both the personal practices related to communal faith and to group rituals and communication stemming from shared conviction.

7,000 dead?
I have heard many estimates of the number killed in Katrina in 2005.
Here is Houston, it was estimated 7,000 died in New Orleans based on information from refugees.

There is nothing supernatural about being gay.

Though it's quite natural, and some would call it super.

He just makes stuff up. He claims that 7,000 black people were killed in New Orleans. The real best estimate is less than a third that for all of Louisiana.

Deceased Victims – There have been 1,464 deceased victims of Hurricane Katrina from Louisiana.

Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this. That's why I support the Pickens Plan.

I concur!

Hate is NOT a 'family value.'
Feminism: the radical notion that women are human beings.
