Ok...she's conservative. But ban books, books that are OK'd by the Alaskan Library Association? Why do that? What was she afraid of? Her children reading these books? If so, all Palin had to do was restrict what her children read, if that was her concern.

And then to send out resignation letters as a test of loyalty? This Palin is shaping up to be quite a piece of work.
Hopefully more people will read about this experience, and learn a lot about this governor from Alaska. The more they learn, the less likely she'll end up being a VP...-

Banning or censoring is not conservative or part of the conservative doctrine. It may be part of the republican platform, but then again, republicans are not conservative.

Palin and family made a choice concerning Bristol. She also has a choice concerning the literature she wants to read or have in her home, just as every American should have that choice.
Choice is conservative. The government making choices for you is not. -

"But ban books, books that are OK'd by the Alaskan Library Association?"
Reply
So it is ok for the Alaskan Library Association to ban books?
This whole issue is just one of many "shots in the dark" taken by the liberal press. I would venture that almost everyone here in propeller belives it is ok to ban certain literature from public libraries. Or are there some in here who believe pornographic literature should be made available to minors?-

If libraries carry pornographic literature (I have never lived in a town with a library that did) then I would think it would be placed in an adult section of the library, out of the hands of children, so children would never even see it.
That makes sense, right?

Moral fortitude is hard to develop when:
Reply
1) public schools can't promote it
2) parents don't know how to develop it in their children
3) parents get limited help with this because Judeo-Christian ideals are constantly being attacked!
I'd say Paulin was right to ask about the books.
I'd say Inverse has a right to his/her opinion because between the lines, it is apparent that Inverse has deep concerns about the moral fiber of this country. Remember, it only takes a few generations' lack of morals to erase all of western civilization. Remember the fall of Rome and what came afterwards??? The dark ages!! Yes, you liberals, the dark ages and you are creating it, not the GOP!-

joanie t - Yes, the Dark Ages brought to humanity by that wonderful institution The Christian Church. Who let classical writings rot to dust, forbade the teaching of reading and writing and taught only from that book of violence and sex and confusion- -the bible a fine moralistic view of the world as one big cesspool with demons running around everywhere. So don't lay your lack of morals BS on that being the reason there was five hundred years of darkness. Republicans don't have a lock on morals or ethics or haven't you been paying attention the last 8 years? We don't need another fundy in the White House if Bush-Cheney morals are what they bring to it. We can't take much more of it or we'll be back in another church induced Dark Ages.Lack of moral fiber, my butt.

joanie, i agree with you but i disagree that it is the role of government to develop moral fortitude on behalf of inept or busy working parents by banning books or favoring one religion over others to the point that we think banning books is okay. if we are good parents who take developing our childrens' minds seriously -- as my parents did with me -- then moral fortitude is inevitable and can't be shaken by liberal attacks on it.

also, if there were objectionable books in a library, i am totally in favor of putting them in a section that is accessible by librarians only and for viewing by those 18+, however, i have never heard of a library having porn --- ???
nudity, books about porn (but that are not themselves porn), so-called art that could be seen as obscene or pornographic, books that are dangerously counter-culture -- these don't have to be banned but libraries should restrict viewing or require consent.
there used to be something called a constitution and a first amendment! why didn't palin seek the *truly conservative* approach that keeps government from sponsoring a certain point of view?
the responsibilty for raising my child is mine, not the government's, and not sarah palin's and i will be the first to admit that in this day and age, it is difficult to teach right and wrong because of so much moral relativism. however, the minute we start giving government the power to be a substitute for our own personal responsibility is the minute we start down the slippery slope of the liberals. i, for one, am not going there. -

inverse, you can protect your child without banning books by simply being a good parent. and how do you protect a country by burning books unless you are hitler and promoting a state-sponsored ideology of hate that doesn't protect anyone, but just gives people in power more power?
