Un-American Palin Poor Choice to Represent America in a Visit to the United Nations

So now John McCain sending Sarah "Barracuda"Palin, the self-described pit bull in lipstick, to the United Nations next week in order to “boost” her foreign policy credentials, according to media reports. The McCain campaign seems to think that having Palin rubbing elbows with the global elite and international bureaucrats will make her look good and somehow give her "instant foreign policy credentials." But that’s like having her visiting Lehman Brothers to accentuate her economic expertise.

Palin and her “Country First” running mate may want to take a look at the Republican Party platform they are supposed to be running on. It is highly critical of the United Nations she will be visiting. The platform calls the U.N. “scandal-ridden and corrupt.” Perhaps McCain should think about these facts before sending "Barracuda" Palin out to meet and greet the world leaders at an institution his and her political party does not respect.

What is more, McCain is sending a woman to represent America who, just a few years ago, supported Alaska seceding from the United States of America. Don’t believe me? John McCain’s crack vetting process (not) may not have found it, but it is a fact that "patriotic" Sarah Palin supported the Alaska Independence Party. A Party that what? Wait for it… advocates seceding from the United States of America.

That’s right. Sarah Palin supported an organization that hates America so much that they want to break up our union, leave the country and become a nation unto themselves (or join Canada— seriously). What’s more un-American than that?

Now a few years later Sarah Palin wants to run a country she advocated leaving? And believe me, wanting to break up The United States of America is not a patriotic stance. Disliking your country so strongly that you not only want to leave it, but want to take one of our 50 great states with you when you go? How is this not unpatriotic?

Please, ask yourself what would happen if Barack Obama or his wife Michelle Obama had belonged to such an organization? Would Sean Hannity ever shut up about this? Would bombastic opportunist Bill O’Reilly get on the bandwagon? Of course he would! Even a draft dodger like Rush Limbaugh would go on and on and on about how un-American the Obamas are, and we’d spend the next six weeks debating whether or not the Obamas love this country.

However, let a Republican advocate breaking up the United States of America and conservatives can’t wait to put her in the White House. Talk about hypocritical! And now she is representing McCain (and our country because of the publicity surrounding her visit) at the United Nations!

How disrespectful!
