I’ve Read Alot of The Books Palin Wanted to Ban

Picture from here

It’s no real secret that I am very unhappy with both canidates in the race and will vote for neither.   I would Digg or post more things from the Obama side that showed some of the gaffes and issues, unfortunately it seems it is easier to dig up dirt on the republicans.   LiveLeak printed a story about the books that Palin wanted (wants) to ban.  I don’t believe in the banning of any material nor do I believe in censorship.   I believe this is at ethical odds with the freedom of speech.    So even though I consider myself a republican, I guess in Palin’s eyes I’m not a good one.   Let’s look over the ones I have read (read the article for the full list).

I guess with reading all of these books I must be too scarred and converted to be a republican.  I apologize for being dirtied by these words – or something.   I guess I should go start a book bonfire out back – then maybe I’ll fit in with the rest of the party.
