Palin’s Nightmare—By Scott Horton (Harper's Magazine)

Seems clueless Palin is afraid of country run by Obama, envisioning "a socialist state in which fundamental American freedoms are undermined." As Scott Horton points out, Palin-drone, one like this?

"That systematically spies on millions of its citizens in direct violation of a criminal statute which forbids such surveillance?

That signs new laws with its fingers crossed in the form of signing statements, so that no one knows whether the laws—or any part of them—will actually be enforced?

That lies to its people about threats from abroad in an effort to build popular support for a series of wars and then cites the existence of those wars as a reason to suppress dissent?"

I should have an "Idiocy" category for Palin and her ilk...
