It is almost the 4^th of July. It is getting hot outside and we had our first big thunderstorm of the year this past week. I love this time of the year. As we move forward celebrating another Independence Day I think it is appropriate to look at some current news stories affecting our nation.

Ignorance is one of the leading problems in the world of politics. It has been for a long and most likely will continue. To many, this sounds harsh, dismissive and arguably ignorant. But, let me explain.

Recently, the GOP of MN announced that Tom Emmer would be their candidate for Governor.  Emmer, known for being in the far-right of the Republican Party, is a big shift in thinking for the MN GOP. No longer is the MN GOP a party of fiscal responsibility or moderate politics. Instead they are the victims of an orchestrated takeover of the party by the most extreme elements of it.

Sarah Palin is going around the country spreading her lies at the moment. In honor of her speech in the Boston Commons today I gathered some great quotes from her.

This news just came across the wire not more then 30 minutes ago. It is official, Ron Paul has won a straw poll that was conducted by the notorious CPAC.  You can see one of the speaker’s remarks here. Although this remark is one of less-professional of the bunch. But, calling your president a cocaine abuser seems to be popular.

Many of you know that I do not like Sarah Palin. I do not like her beliefs and I do not like her as a human being. I think she fails miserably in both regards and is damaging the United States. I also find her very interesting, as do many people with a college degree. I am intrigued by her because she is the complete opposite of logical/rational thought. She runs on emotion and she has no substance.

Everyday I get more and more befuddled by the mess that we call the news. I am shocked to see so many people attack science, intellectualism and education. I am shocked to see so many people cling to pre-modern beliefs that are bad ideas. I am not talking about beliefs such as religion or morality; those are for individuals to choose on their own.

When I first read the reviews about Obama’s Nobel Prize speech from the media I was very concerned. I imagined a blood-thirsty Obama spitting in the faces of every man, women and child who represented this Peace Prize. I imagined a statement like, ‘If your not with us, your against us,” or maybe just a chilling war cry to terrify our enemies. And then I actually watched the video of this speech.

The book tour is in full swing and already the media circus has found Sarah Palin just like water flowing downhill will always follow the path of least resistance. It seems like this is exactly what Palin had in mind when she “wrote” her book, “Going Rogue.” In great publicity moves she has managed to start battles with Letterman, Obama, FoxNews and many other people and organizations. This of course elicits one of two responses, either a positive, “go get ‘em, Sarah!” response or the more common and candid, “what the $#@!” response.

In a recent CNN/Opinion Research Corporation telephone poll of 1,038 American adults, Sarah Palin got a less then favorable result. 71% of respondents said that Palin is not qualified to be President and a shockingly high amount of people, 29%, said that she actually would be qualified to be President.

The extremely intelligent members of the Republican Party show their partisanship with 52% saying Palin is qualified to be president and 47% saying she is not qualified. The poll also shows that 51% of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Palin. I was expecting it would be more like 90%, but oh well.
