Secession, Lipstick and Rape

The Republican Party has a secessionist running for the office of vice president. There is something ultra hypocritical about this, but she is a Republican, so the hypocrite part is self-explanatory.

Sarah Palin believes that Alaska should secede from the USA. Now, she tells us she is ready to lead. Lead what?

But not to worry, folks. Lipstick Sarah, the woman who billed Alaska for the time she spent at home and also for traveling back and forth to work, has a plan. A plan for what? She’s an expert on National Security.

She’s a soccer mom who accepted corporate financing for a pipeline through Alaska. And how much money does each Alaskan receive from oil and gas corporations due to those pipelines? $1200 per person per year, or more?

Fact: In Alaska, at the end of each fiscal year, oil royalties are calculated and each resident of the state receives a check for his/her share of these monies.

Also, according to her running mate, er, what’s his name again? Well, whoever, Lipstick has credentials for keeping America safe and secure. What are these credentials? I already wrote about that. She accepted corporate funding for a pipeline.

You know what else she has that will keep America safe? A strong love for Wal-Mart. How many Wal-Marts dot the Alaskan landscape? Supercenters: 3, Discount Stores: 5, Neighborhood Markets: 0, Sam's Clubs: 3, Distribution Centers: 0

How many Wal-Mart employees are in Alaska? 3,163.

Wal-Mart in China raised employees’ salaries, while here in the USA Wal-Mart cut employee salaries.

Lipstick is a secessionist. A woman who thinks Alaska should separate itself from the USA. Most secessionists think this because corporations run the federal government. Apparently that is not Lipstick’s reasoning. She loves corporations, they run Alaska too.

No, you think? Think pipelines, oil and gas, Wal-Mart and how many others like them in malls?

And then there is the fact that Alaskans receive more federal dollars per capita than citizens of any other state. The same goes for federal earmark dollars.

Yes sir! Not only is Lipstick a secessionist in all but fact, she also believes on book banning, and feels that a rape victim should be required by law to pay for her own rape kit. What’s a rape kit? The kit used at hospitals to collect evidence for law enforcement (DNA, fibers, tissue, etc).

I’m wondering if her thinking that a woman should pay for the rape kit, which she may not be able to afford, also means that Lipstick doesn’t think rape is a crime. Maybe she is one of those people who think rape is a woman’s fault.

Lipstick: secessionist, book banner, and an elected official who believes that only this one crime should go on the tab of the victim, rather than being a cost of law enforcement. Oh, unless she wants to charge robbery and murder victims (their families) for the forensics of their cases too.
