Is Sarah Palin a kick ass female?

I do not oppose Sarah Palin because she's a hunter or because she likes guns. I oppose her because it is clear from her actions that she does not care about animals or the environment. She's suing to take polar bears off the threatened species list because they would interfere with her precious natural gas pipeline. In order to bring this suit, she's had to claim that the evidence for global warming is unreliable. (See the Anchorage Daily News article) If Palin wants to hunt, that's her right. Indeed, Teddy Roosevelt was a big game hunter, a Republican and a great president. But he also set aside vast tracts of land for national parks. He would be appalled by Palin's disregard for the environment were he alive today.
