This came from a librarian blog: Has there been anything in the media to verify the list of titles Sarah Palin tried to ban at the library in the town she was mayor for? The librarians are in an uproar. I agree with them, but I want an accurate list. Presidents are suppose to get the TRUTH that the citizens don't always get because leaders think they would panic. The truth about NASA discoveries and alien sightings. Even Britian just released their files on UFO sights. The pope just said God created aliens so we should treat them as our brothers unless we are threatened by them, so depending on what she banned, I'm not sure she is open minded enough to be "the keeper of secrets" for the United States or representing us in any first contact situations. Oh, my! Andrew Aucoin Says: September 3rd, 2008 at 1:29 This is the list of books Palin tried to have banned. As many of you will notice it is a hit parade for book burners.

Sarah deserves credit for being a hard working woman. She just doesn't represent me and won't get my vote. It is always a proud day whenever there is a woman to pick from on the ballot, but I still vote for the right PERSON for the job. I'm looking for "the one" to be the first woman VP or President of the United States not just ANYONE. BOOK BURNING puts her in the "just anyone" category for me. I don't care if this action did represent the wishes of some of her constituents, BOOK BURNING is poor leadership. HITLER was a avid BOOK BURNER.

What particular books Sarah Palin wanted banned when she was the mayor of Wasilla, AK. The fact that she -- or any other public official -- would press for or even consider banning any books from the public library is repugnant to the fundamental American concept that we people have an absolute right to free thought and free inquiry.

12 year old to be able to go to the library and get the latest Hustler mag but the vast majority of us that actually grew up and are not stuck in the 60's don't mind some rules.

People seem to be very jealous of Sarah Palin. I'll bet H Clinton is just turning blue with envy....and how about our do nothing governor....she is probably setting up an appointment as we speak to get those moles off her face....won't work though, moles or no moles she is still a loser.

you are being lied to. A conservative woman scares the heck out of these guys which are really just a bunch of touchy feely girly men.

I don't mind rules, and I revel in self discipline. I just don't want pea-brained control freaks like you dictating what I can and cannot read in my local library. Whether you like it or not, censorship -- book burning and book banning -- is fundamentally un-American. It is anathema to a nation founded on the concept that individual, personal freedom, including the freedom to inquire and explore ideas is paramount.

I am not a Republican or a Democrat. I'm a little bit of both which makes me neither. We American's didn't heed the warnings of our forefathers about not being sucked into a two-party system. So I, as most American's who haven't drank either the red or blue kool-aid, will either vote FOR which person we like better or AGAINST the one we hate the most. In 2006 (DeVos v.s. Granholm) I Liked DeVos as much as I hate Jennifer. In 2004 (Kerry v.s. Bush) I voted against Bush. But this year I'm totally indifferent. Both McCain and Obama are very flawed, which is bad. But they are still both better than Bush, which is good. I'm not thrilled with either one, but I don't hate either one either. Therefore I find myself in the unique possition of being able to vote my party of choice which is Libertarian. Some say that this is a wasted vote. I beg to differ. Yes the Libertarian candidate (Bob Barr) will not be the next president. However if he were to receive just 5% of the total vote, then the Libertarians would have a legitimate shot in the 2012 election. The federal campaign fund would be divided 3 ways instead of two and the Libertarians would be allowed equal debate time and media coverage. So if you are undecided about this election vote Libertarian. Not just any 3rd party candidate, but specificately Libertarian. 2012 is only 4 short years away!

What is a Libertarian?

...is pro-choice everything. So long as those choices do not harm others. I.E. no one is pro-choice for murder, rape, or robbery. But why not legalize marijuana, tax it heavily, and use the money to fund health care? Why not legalize prostitution, not street walkers but legitimate brothels and escort services. When regulated like in Amsterdam or the Bunny Ranch in Reno, there have never been any cases of S.T.D's. If these activities were legal, I would still choose not to do either. But that's my choice. And it should be my choice, not a law! Also Libertarians believe in small government. Small government and freedom-of-choice. What a concept! How about a 17% flat income tax for every dollar above $40,000? Anybody making under 40K would be tax exempt. Let's face it, anybody making under 40K needs every dime they make. If you made $50,000 you would then pay 17% of $10,000. $1,700 a year. Not to shabby. If you made $100K, you would pay 17% of 60K. If you made $1 MILLION, you would pay 17% of 960K. You get the picture. How could the government operate with so little tax money? Well this is where small government comes from. Your tax dollars would fund only the military, police/fire, roads, and schools. No welfare or any other tax-and-spend government programs. Fiscally responsible government, what a concept! But if you are really gung-ho about either McCain or Obama, then vote for the same-ole same-ole.
