Respecting the wishes of the founding fathers . . . from the 1950s?!?



I guess I'm on a Sarah Palin roll today - two blog posts in a row.

Just came across this gem from Daily Kos. When asked 2006 whether she was offended by the phrase "under god" in the Pledge of Allegiance, Palin replied: "If it was good enough for the founding fathers, it's good enough for me."

I guess that means the U.S. was founded in 1954, because as I noted in a recent post, that the year when the phrase "under god" was officially put in the Pledge. (The original version of the pledge itself was written in 1892.) I guess Sarah Palin's founding fathers are Dwight Eisenhower and Joe McCarthy.

Wow. Just wow. This woman's political ignorance astounds me.

Even scarier, would her statement mean that she's also support slavery?
