The Green Quote: Feminist Playwright Eve Ensler Fears Sarah Palin

September 30th 2008

Sarah Palin does not believe in evolution. I take this as a metaphor. In her world and the world of Fundamentalists nothing changes or gets better or evolves. She does not believe in global warming. The melting of the arctic, the storms that are destroying our cities, the pollution and rise of cancers, are all part of God’s plan. She is fighting to take the polar bears off the endangered species list. The earth, in Palin’s view, is here to be taken and plundered. The wolves and the bears are here to be shot and plundered. The oil is here to be taken and plundered. Iraq is here to be taken and plundered. As she said herself of the Iraqi war, ‘It was a task from God.’”

  1. I couldn’t have said it better. I don’t know Eve Ensler but she’s absolutely right.

  2. I am a feminist and I believe that there are many ways of serving our sisters.

    Thanks to our suffragette sisters, women have voices and choices! Just like men.

    Eve Ensler and Governor Palin are proof that women can and do diverge on important issues.

    Isn’t it wonderful! Can you imagine not being able to vote?

  3. I, too, am very afraid of Sarah Palin’s ignorance. She could set women back 30 years and continue to destroy this planet. A woman like her, given power, can be a very dangerous thing.

  4. The truth about palin accordingly to real Alaskans:

    And after that if there are still people who support her, then I have to say YOU don’t deserve to live!

    I have no tolerance for ignorance nor arrogance… not any more!!!!

    This planet needs a cleansing… a human cleansing!!!!! This is extremist? Yes it is!! So it is raping this planet, killing the biodiversity and letting the ‘big guys’ control our lives and make us act like stupid zombies by hypnotising us with false news and false religions and moral values!!!

    It’s time for a global revolution!
    This is not going to last forever you know?! All major civilizations before ours have fallen! We learned nothing from them! We are at the edge of breaking point!! You just wait and see! Everything we’re witnessing is just the beginning!!
    You’re laughing? In a few years you’ll be crying your heart out, trust me! Just look around at what’s really happening to this planet and to humankind…! See beyond your neighbourhood, your town and your country and you will see!
