Since Sarah Palin was told to shut up she should just skip the GOP convention she should visit Mt. Rushmore instead

While I was in South Dakota I went to Mt Rushmore. It is a beautiful work of art honoring some of our best presidents-George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.

In the evening they have a lighting ceremony which a ranger gives a talk, show a video, take down the flag and light the faces. It is truly an inspiring experience.

Last year Sarah went out on her bus tour and visited the Liberty Bell, got her facts wrong about Paul Revere, visited DC and Ronald Reagan's birthplace.

There is one place Sarah should visit.

Mt. Rushmore-the SHRINE OF DEMOCRACY.

I don't know if Sarah has ever been to Rushmore but if she hasn't why not?

Two founding fathers are sculpted up there...Washington and Jefferson. But maybe Sarah does not know that.

Perhaps Sarah secretly hates the presidents that are on Mt. Rushmore.

George Washington may have been gay and certainly dressed like one. He also refused to be a king and would not run for a third term.

Thomas Jefferson was a deist and wrote his own version of the Bible.

Abraham Lincoln stomped on state's rights and freed the brown skinned people.

Theodore Roosevelt was for the common man and was a conservationist and trust buster.

Sarah would learn a lot if she visited Mt Rushmore. So would her family.

The Sturgis rally is over now so it won't be as crowded either.

What are you waiting for Sarah?

The Founding Fathers were not so great

Sarah Palin and the Teabaggers talk about how great the Founding Fathers were and that they were all Christian. It's time to give them a history lesson.

Thomas Jefferson



Thomas Jefferson fathered six children with slave Sally Hemings.

Jefferson rejected Evangelical Christianity and was a Deist. He wrote the Jefferson bible and advocated separation of church and state. He was also anti-Catholic. So he would not get an endorsement from Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich.

Jefferson also read and studied the Koran.

Benjamin Franklin



Franklin fathered a child out wedlock named William. William like his dad also fathered a child out of wedlock, William Temple Franklin. And William Temple kept up the family tradition by fathering a son and daughter without the benefit of marriage with two separate women. Franklin grew up in a Liberal Puritan church. He claimed to be a Deist and a Christian.

An interesting quote from Franklin:

"Even if the Mufti [chief jurist] of Constantinople [from the Muslim Ottoman Empire] were to send a missionary to preach Mohammedanism to us, he would find a pulpit at his service."

George Washington



Washington was a slave owner, recognized 22 religious groups including Islam. He also hosted iftars.

Alexander Hamilton



Hamilton was a constitutional lawyer just like President Obama. He was also born outside the United States (where's the birth certificate?) He was born and raised in Nevis, an island in the Caribbean. Hamilton had a close friendship with John Laurens and Gilbert du Motier, marquis de Lafayette, so close some historians wondered if he was gay.
