How was it allowed to happen? How did politics in the US come to be dominated by people who make a virtue out of ignorance? Was it charity that has permitted mankind&#8217;s closest living relative to spend two terms as president? How did Sarah Palin, Dan [...]]]></description>

I am an old-fashioned leftist and I have severe problems with her positions on Palestine, the Iraq War, US foreign policy and a raft of other issues.
