Sarah Palin comments on Quran burning and actually says something INTELLIGENT???

In a stunningly surprising display of eloquence, Sarah Palin took to her Facebook page to address the issue of the planned stunt of Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center to burn Qurans on the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

This is what she had to say on the matter:

“Book burning is antithetical to American ideals.  People have a constitutional right to burn a Koran if they want to, but doing so is insensitive and an unnecessary provocation — much like building a mosque at Ground Zero.

I would hope that Pastor Terry Jones and his supporters will consider the ramifications of their planned book-burning event. It will feed the fire of caustic rhetoric and appear as nothing more than mean-spirited religious intolerance. Don’t feed that fire. If your ultimate point is to prove that the Christian teachings of mercy, justice, freedom, and equality provide the foundation on which our country stands, then your tactic to prove this point is totally counter-productive.

 Our nation was founded in part by those fleeing religious persecution. Freedom of religion is integral to our charters of liberty. We don’t need to agree with each other on theological matters, but tolerating each other without unnecessarily provoking strife is how we ensure a civil society. In this as in all things, we should remember the Golden Rule. Isn’t that what the Ground Zero mosque debate has been about?”

Uh… Wow… I feel like I’m reading “Flowers for Algernon” when Charly starts to become intelligent.  I can’t believe it..  I agree 100% with Sarah Palin!!

Seriously, that’s the most lucid statement I’ve heard from her. 

Almost makes me wonder if she actually wrote it… but that’s a whole ‘nother thing.  She at least approved it.
