1. PALIN REIGNITES CULTURE WARS

PALIN REIGNITES CULTURE WARS

Jim Vandehei & David Paul Kuhn

“The choice of Palin is going to bring some of these issues, like abortion, same sex issues, the teaching of evolution in public schools, the whole role of what religion plays in public life, back to the campaign,” said Rob Boston, a senior analyst for Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. “Culture war issues reflect a real divide that is evident in society today.”

Palin & GOP Hypocrisy

I was referenced to this site from a national source and wanted to post the opinion of a 52year life long Republican business owner for the Sarah Palin fans:

I’ve used my name, influence, and money to support, endorse and elect Republicans my entire adult life. However, the last 7 years I’ve watched the Bush administration, his rubber stamp congress and the GOP leaders trample the very fundementals of our founding republic’s constitution, thump their noses at the Congress and the very laws enacted to provide equality, acccountability and integrity in our democracy. AND DO it in the name of GOD as they instilled FEAR in weak minded, blinded people!

3. Obama to Palin: 'Don't Mock the Constitution'

Obama to Palin: 'Don't Mock the Constitution'

By Peter Slevin

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. -- Sen. Barack Obama delivered an impassioned defense of the Constitution and the rights of terrorism suspects tonight, striking back at one of the biggest applause lines in Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's speech to the GOP convention.

It was in St. Paul last week that Palin drew raucous cheers when she delivered this put-down of Obama: "Al-Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America and he's worried that someone won't read them their rights."

Obama, who taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago for more than a decade, said captured suspects deserve to file writs of habeus corpus.

"The reason that you have this principle is not to be soft on terrorism. It's because that's who we are. That's what we're protecting," Obama said, his voice growing louder and the crowd rising to its feet to cheer. "Don't mock the Constitution. Don't make fun of it. Don't suggest that it's not American to abide by what the founding fathers set up. It's worked pretty well for over 200 years."
