Biography of Sarah Palin for kids being published--What might be left out?

Wasn't it Russia she said she could see, as opposed to Alaska?

OOps! Typo. Thanks, Leah.

I do that too sometimes. Happy to help.

If any of my kids looked as if they would grow up like Sarah, I'd have drowned them at birth.

Yeah right, Walker. LOL

and you like the idea of being labeled a baby killer? nice picture you paint of yourself...

Regardless if you like her or not, believe in her ideas or not, or just hate her because you are a liberal... she has many accomplishments and traits that I wish more of us had.
1. she personally supports the military; helping wounded soldiers; donating time and money to aid them.
2. she believes in cutting spending and did great at it when gov.
3. she increased the wealth and health of citizens in her state by bringing in SMART business deals and cutting the bad ones.

She is quirky. I'll give you that but when I watch the liberal spin media filed numerous and slanderous suits that were all bogus and not one of them won...it shows what type of people the liberals are made up of. I dont care what side of the isle you come from...that type of lying is deplorable.

That is the real reason I disagree with liberals so fervently. They are relentless in attacking and do not follow any rules until an attack is directed at them...then they sing a different tune. They lose all credibility when they act like fools. Yet they keep doing it...

Actually, she was found guilty of "abusing her power", Tex, and violating state ethics rules for public officials.

I don't know of too many people that don't support the troops. What did she do to help wounded soldiers?

Palin's not the sharpest knife in the restaurant and I think America knows that.

Walker, are you trying to pull an Andrea Yeats?

Texas: Hitler did exactly the same things, so he appeared to be the German safeguard to the public, forcing industries and banks to fund him (among them not only the then huge concern I.G. Farber, Krupp and similar but during practically the whole war, even when USA sent troops to Europe, some very well-known American families you may discover with a bit of research.

Everyone, I really mean everyone in the finance industry was pretty sure that he and Schacht were "genius" of the economy just because he kept showing out exceptions while raising funds for his troops and children organizations.

When the Nazis landed in Argentina (1945) the helped Peron achieving the very same politics, children inclusive as they were recruited in public schools while those who went to private schools were spied and often their genitors were "bothered" if the police had heard the kids talking badly about the government.

A bit like the apple of Snow White ........

Sharpest knife, oh really here to become V.P. fail she quit in mid term as governor to pursue the making of money. So her priorities are about the money, Palin as president in 2012 I think not.

When you have to write your notes on your hand, that sends me a signal right there. It's okay to have talking points but I prefer to put them on paper.

Richard, yes, I think we understand her priorities.

Kerrell, yes, it makes sense to me. Also, just goes to show you she must not wash her hands when she uses the restroom. LOL

They'll probably leave out her sterling academic record and that she was knocked up when she got married.

I heard that she went to five or six different colleges before she graduated. But I hadn't heard about her getting "knocked up". Hmmmm. So Bristol was following in her mom's footsteps I guess.

I've known a lot of people, oddly enough, every one of them female, who got pregnant when they were young and unmarried. Some of them turned out to be responsible adults and others grew up to be Sarah Palin. Seriously, getting pregnant when you're 18 or under doesn't predict a wasted life.

I think the book should mention every deviation from the path in Palin's life. It's important for kids to realize that it's easier to overcome mistakes early in life. I doubt that the publisher finds that sort of stuff inspirational though.

I agree, but I doubt that it will be mentioned. We'll see...

By the way, Zondervan is an evangelical Christian publishing company. So my guess is that they wouldn't want to mention the pregnancy of her or her daughter's.

I got pregnant way before I ever married, but then I haven't been riding around on an evangelical high horse telling teens and unmarried people not to have sex.

Exactly.

Most women I know who got pregnant before marriage aren't sanctimonious about it. It's not a cheap empathy lesson though.

Right, Nippy.

Fortunately our daughter is a grown up. I doubt she'll buy the book for her kids though. :)

I wouldn't suggest this books for kids, just my POV.

Talk about blatant propaganda. Wasn't she on the bandwagon when President Obama addressed Mesa, AZ school children about staying in school and obeying your parents? I believe she joined in the feigned protests that tried to argue that the speech was meant to indoctrinate young children into some socialist ideology. I have my doubts about the "unauthorized" aspect. Sure makes it easier to distance yourself.

Yep, you betcha.

Wonder if it will contain the latest news. Bristol and her soon to be hubby are shopping around to star in a Reality Show with their 2 year old. Maybe they need the money for the wedding, which will no doubt be THE wedding of the year! Sarah and family sure learned a lot from that VP escapade. "How to win friends and earn money from influential people."

At one time I'd heard that Sarah was talking to producers about a reality show. Bristol and Levi just beat her to it. But you can bet that she'll be part of it. Who knows, she may have been helping to pitch it.

As for the wedding of the year, I think that Prince Willima might grab that one, that is if it happens in 2011.

Bristol is looking at 2010. ("a few weeks") She denies she's pregnant, told the news gal she hasn't had sex, so can't be. You don't suppose she abstaining. lol Better late than never. Hope she's learned about birth control by now.

So why should she wait? She had the baby with Levi already. It's not like she is a virgin. It seems a bit contrived to make her seem chaste and innocent. Just seems a little ridiculous to me.

I was surprised the woman even asked her. I haven't heard that Sarah Palin has said much about this as yet. Wonder where her head is at, given all that's been going on.

Sarita is following pace by pace the same way than Evita Peron who published in 1951 her own biography "La razón de mi vida".

Do you really believe that US GOP people is as uneducated than Argentinian paesants? That US citizen cannot foresee what is becoming a possible dictatorship?

She tries, as Evita did, to enroll children as ANY dictatorship wishes to achieve in order to comfort long time power.

BEWARE, BEWARE

Don't cry for me, Wasilla.

LOL

Oh my gosh...This is too much... Thanks for the heads up, Carla! tame

I enjoy a bit of following celebrities myself but I find the relatively recent value we put on celebrities to be very disturbing, along the lines of newest and trendiest drug.

We think we know them. We think they are some higher form of human being. We are crushed when we find out they are not. (Think Mel Gibson here.) WTF is that?

Thanks for posting this to 4 US, World News & Opinions.

thanks, I'm sure that many religious folks will buy it for their kids

I doubt whether it will contain reference to her wanting to remove books from the library.

Good one, Lori! I had forgotten about that!
