Politics. Is there a better way?

I used to pay attention to American and Swedish politics.

Sarah Palin killed my conservatism

 

 

I know exactly which seconds Sarah Palin killed the last piece of my conservative soul. On 28.52-29.19 in the C-Span video “Vice Presidential Candidate Gov. Sarah Palin (AK) Full Speech at the RNC”. Right before, Sarah Palin said: “al-Qaeda terrorists still plot to inf… Read full post »

A Taste of Freedom
