When Atheists Attack

The danger of Palin's real involvement is exacerbated by McCain's early dementia. His "slipups" on countries, their leaders, the involvement of NATO's member countries in Afghanistan, his confrontational recommendations in Georgia because "we are all Georgians," his mistakes when discussing Alkeida as Sunni or Shiite, his inability to understand the religious involvement of Iran, and so on and so on, show not only a complete inability to run the foreign policy of the United States if he ever becomes its President, but an inability to make any decisions based on understanding, knowledge and a small iota of memory. McCain is ill and his illness makes him unassailable in his sick, slipping mind. He is angry, confused, sick, and showing that his forgetfulness is chronic. As a pair McCain and Palin are extremely dangerous to this country - we cannot rely on either of them as individuals, but together they become a catastrophe waiting to happen.

This person has taken the most inane view of an interview that was intended to be a got you to portray Governor Palin as unaware. In the language of some inarticulate reporters who themselves don't understand their business there are questions that are not answerable on their face. Without some specific meaning I can ask what do you think of the moon. That is not a question. All this demonstrates is the ignorance of the reporter. There are very brilliant people who have different values who can learn quickly I admire for character, say Lincoln. rreporte

Go me for planning an early retirement abroad. I have no use for Palin and her anti-intellectualism supporters as I do for the new rich who have destroyed every avenue of good taste and tradition our society once treasured. The worlds of art, academia, and literature, are now dictated by tasteless boors who have the same lack of respect for tradition and cultivation than the Palins of our country.

Thanks to republican strategies, this country is doomed. There's no going back now.

Brilliant and on-point, as always, Mr. Harris. Thanks

I read this article now mr "open mind" read this for a conservatives view......

"Governor Palin, are you ready at this moment to perform surgery on this child's brain?"
"Of course, Charlie. I have several boys of my own, and I'm an avid hunter."

Not only insightful, but a funny *** as well. One protest to this whole line of debate I keep coming across is how she supposedly will not let her religion bleed into her politics. Her record on that issue is a bit sparse, but that church speech pretty much seals the deal for me.

Excellent article. Unfortunately, the people who need most to consider this point of view have closed minds.

What happens when you let those who must follow God's plan get to run your country and make sure that YOU follow his interpretation of "God's plan"!

BAGHDAD ??? First his two sons were murdered. Now he faces prosecution. The reason for Mithal al-Alusi's troubles? Visiting Israel and advocating peace with the Jewish state ??? something Iraq's leaders refuse to consider.

The Iraqi is at the center of a political storm after his fellow lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to strip him of his immunity and allow his prosecution for visiting Israel ??? a crime punishable by death under a 1950s-era law. Such a fate is unlikely for al-Alusi, though he may lose his party's sole seat in parliament.

Once again I find myself in complete agreement with Mr. Harris. John McCain's choice of the grossly unqualified Sara Palin is stunning in it's calculation and horrifying in its prospect. It's high time for America to grow up and require more than a beer-worthy president or one that's "just like me". We should demand that a president be "elite" and be mature enough to acknowledge that "elite" is not the same thing as "elitist". Sara Palin doesn't even come close.

Jane ...he won't he is nothing more than a chicago thug politician...no hope or change just politics as usual. He will be telling you what to do when he is elected...and not the other way around.....BANK ON IT!!

My grandfather had an 8th grade education, and he was a WWII vet. He was well-read, even though he was the son of immigrants. It's not Palin's lack of formal education that concerns me, but her world view. The problem with the "elites are bad" argument, is that there is some truth to it. Harvard, Yale, Princeton. That doesn't mean a politician who graduates from the Ivy League will represent the interests of the American people. I'm supporting Obama, and I hope he wins. I hope he restores the faith of the American people in the office of the presidency.

The reason the American people don't trust "elites" to run the country well is mostly because they haven't done a very good job of it, have they? Yale, Harvard, Princeton. That doesn't mean they're qualified to represent the American people over the interests of corporations and their own greed. I support Obama. I hope that he wins, and he restores faith in the office of the presidency. My grandfather had an 8th grade education and was a WWII vet, and he was very well-read and intelligent. I don't see those qualities in Sarah Palin, so it isn't just her lack of formal education that worries me, but her world views.

I loved your article. When you replaced being Vice-President with performing brain surgery, I think your point about the importance of education was excellently made. We need educated, open-minded, thoughtful people making the most important decisions in our country. You can still be tough and smart without basing your policies on the rules of a 4th grade staring contest.

Well, we must all remember who selected this broad in the first place and why. I read from someone that Mc Cain's choice of Palin was literally a case of "personal treason". Think about it: if Mc Cain should die in office - this is what he chose to leave the country with.

So lisa I take it you have a picture of Che Guevara on the wall . Do you have a beret and the T-shirt becuase if you vote for Obamba that is what you are voting for. Say goodbye to differing opinions...oh that is what the left believes in. Fairness doctrine you can't compete in the arena of ideas so you will force your vile down the throats of Americans. Maybe Michelle will finally be proud of her country when Barak is elected. Barak sat in his church for 22 years and was never in town when Jerimiah wright was spewing his racist venom (which they will miraculiously be friends again when he is elected) He sat on boards with Bill Airs who said on 9/11 he didn't do enough when he blew up buildings. Michelle says don't strive for excellenc like I did stay in the community and work be a social worker or a nurse don't dare try to be a C.E.O. or climb the corporate ladder like I did making over $300,000 a year. Remember what Barak says "white folks greed runs a world in need" But yeah Lisa keep on thinking I'm a racist......
