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.
