Yes, it's Sarah Palin. And it has nothing to do with creationism. Read more here.
Who am I?
John M. Lynch is an Honors Faculty Fellow at Barrett the Honors College at Arizona State University. He's also affiliated with ASU's Center for Biology & Society. When he's not an historian of anti-evolutionism, he's an evolutionary morphologist. Much to his surprise, in 2007 he was named the Arizona Professor of the Year. No doubt his students were surprised as well.

Why would she worry? After all she believes that the end of the world is coming soon so she has to get in as much killing as she can before its too late.

The thought of shooting any animal from a plane is just sickening. Science doesn't seem to concern conservative republicans so I'm not surprised she would support this.

Palin hasn't done hunters or her state any favors when she advocates non-sustainable hunting practices. This is the kind of ignorance that ethical hunters fight in order to preserve their sport and the environment which sustains it.
Disgusting.

I love the justification: "Wolves, Murkowski believed, were clearly better than humans at killing elk and moose, and humans needed to even the playing field."
As if treating wolves as aerial target practice levels the "playing" field! And we complain about the affect realistic video games have on violence among adolescents!

Isn't this in the Great American Tradition: God made the animals so that we are able to use them for trophy hunting and target practice. Kill for Jesus!

Nut cases? No, - not that advanced!

So if she ends up becoming Vice President, does this mean she'll be shooting people in the face from an airplane?
