13 Social Studies Facts Sarah Palin Got Wrong

Infamous for her verbal slips and gaffes, Sarah Palin - author, pundit, governor, candidate, grizzled mother or what have you - has often been in trouble with the press for massaging the truth. Of course, there are the outright accusations that Palin lies, including Andrew Sullivan's ongoing, dogged and not-uncreepy investigation into her claims to be Trig Palin's mother. Those are interesting, sure, but they get all the press.

Far more intriguing are just the Sarah Palin goofs and mistakes. The small things that most Americans really should know that she seems to consistently get wrong. It's like she skipped out on all her social studies classes at Wasilla High. Possibly to knock back PBRs with Todd and talk about which girls are putting out. We can't be sure.

What follows is an incomplete but hopefully still compelling account of Sarah Palin's errors when it comes to history, geography and government. And probably grammar.

    Paul Revere Warned the British

    During her 2011 "bus tour" across America, Palin stopped in the city of Boston, where she took in some of the local historical sites. Included in the tour was a stop at Paul Revere's shack. While there, Sarah explained to local TV cameras the significance of Revere's famous 1775 "midnight ride," undertaken just before the battles at Lexington and Concord. Unfortunately...she sort of got the entire thing backwards.

    According to Palin, Revere rode on horseback and "warned, uh, the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells..." As most American school kids are probably already aware, Revere actually rode from Boston to Lexington warning the COLONISTS that the British Army was marching in their direction. (He specifically was hoping to give advance notice of the Army's movements to John hancock and Samuel Adams, who would have likely been arrested by the Redcoats upon their arrival.)

    But otherwise...NAILED IT!
  2. 2

    Sputnik Bankrupted the Soviet Union

    During President Obama's second State of the Union address, on January 25, 2011, he referred to the present era in America as a "Sputnik moment." The comparison was meant to highlight the need for Americans to get serious about investing in biomedicine, information technology and clean energy in order to remain competitive globally.

    Palin, in a discussion with Greta van Susteren on Fox News the following night, took issue with the President's reference to the infamous Soviet satellite that became the first manmade object launched into orbit back in 1957. Calling it a "WTF moment," she argued that Obama "needs to remember that what happened back then with the former communist USSR and their victory in that race to space, yes, they won, but they also incurred so much debt at the time that it resulted in the inevitable collapse of the Soviet Union."

    Not EXACTLY a good counter to Obama's argument, which didn't say America should exactly emulate the Soviet Union of the 1950s. But fair enough. Except that Sputnik didn't come even close to bankrupting the Soviets. In fact, they didn't get into serious debt trouble until 30 years after Sputnik, and even then it was more a result of excessive military - not technological - investment.
  3. 3

    The Vice President Runs the Senate

    Back when she was campaigning to be the Vice President in October of 2008, Palin gave an interview to local Colorado TV station KUSA-TV. At the end of the interview, she participated in the station's patented "Questions from the Third Grade" segment. (This was her first mistake...)

    When discussing the job of the US Vice President - you know, that job she was actively trying to get - she said that the VP is "in charge of the United States Senate," and could "get in there with the Senators and make a lot of good policy changes."

    Now, granted, the Constitution does state that the Vice President of the United States is "President of the Senate..." But if you keep reading the rest of that very same sentence, it also says "but [the VP] shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided." So there's that.

    Also, in practice, the VP's job has become more and more ceremonial in the Senate. During his entire tenure as VP, the not-exactly-power-shy Dick Cheney only cast eight tie-breaking votes. So far, Joe Biden has cast exactly none.
  4. 4

    The Constitution is Based on The Bible

    In May of 2010, Palin appeared on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" to talk about the controversy over the "National Day of Prayer." During the discussion, she boldly announced that the US should base its laws on The Bible, just as the Founding Fathers intended. The full quote:

    "I think we should keep this clean, keep it simple, go back to what our founders and our founding documents meant. They’re quite clear that we would create law based on the God of the Bible and the 10 commandments, it’s pretty simple."

    One would think that if the Founding Fathers were "quite clear" on basing their laws on the 10 Commandments and the Bible, that would have included mentioning any of these concepts in the actual legal document they were preparing...(The words "Jesus Christ," "Christianity," "Bible" and "God" don't ever appear in the actual Constitution. Maybe we should have Nicolas Cage check if it's there in invisible ink!)

    Also, one would think that Thomas Jefferson might not have said things like this, if he had set up a government based on The Bible:

    "Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."

    Come on, T.J., that was bound to be confusing to later generations.
  5. 5

    The Founding Fathers Said the Pledge of Allegiance

    While running for the governorship of Alaska back in 2006, Palin - along with all the other candidates - was asked to fill out a questionnaire about some of her basic political beliefs. One of the questions asked if she was offended by the use of the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.

    Palin responded: "Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance."

    But, of course, the Pledge wasn't "good enough" for the Founding Fathers. It was not written until 100 years AFTER the Revolutionary era, in 1892, by a man named Francis Bellamy.

    Making this slip-up even more ridiculous, the phrase "Under God" wasn't part of Bellamy's original work, and was inserted into the Pledge in 1954!

    And Obama doesn't know how many States there are: "57" remember that? or how about him calling corpsman, "corpse-men" multiple times on multiple days.



    Biden:

    "A man I'm proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States -- Barack America!" --Joe Biden, at his first campaign rally with Barack Obama



    "When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened." -Joe Biden, apparently unaware that FDR wasn't president when the stock market crashed in 1929 and that only experimental TV sets were in use at that time



    "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me." --Joe Biden



    "Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya." --Joe Biden, to Missouri state Sen. Chuck Graham, who is in a wheelchair, Columbia, Missouri, Sept. 12, 2008

    "Aroccustom - What I gather is that she very well could have intended to say Northeast instead of Northwest. It's a common occurrence in public speaking, to error in speaking especially when thinking ahead while speaking. I don't hold it against her. But I do find it interesting that you defend her on this 'slip of the tongue' yet bash Obama when he did the same thing talking about the campaign stops he made. It's very clear that his intention was 47 states (with one more to go (making it 48) with Alaska and Hawaii being left out of the tour). Yet you seem to relish the chance to make fun of his error. Why is it that it's O.K. for Palin to error in speech but not Obama?"

    The Founding Fathers Said the Pledge of Allegiance at 7/11/2011 11:52 PM
    ""Hardly anyone knows when or where that phrase actually came from." WHAT??? The phrase "under God" was incorporated into the Pledge of Allegiance June 14, 1954. "In God We Trust" was adopted as the official motto of the United States in 1956. So no, this is not original and we know where the phrases came from.

    The Constitution is Based on The Bible at 7/11/2011 11:47 PM
    Just because the Founding Fathers were Christian doesn't mean the constitution was based on the bible. The Founding Fathers based the country on freedom of choice. That was the reason \nthey left for the new world---freedom from religious persecution. They wanted the right for everyone to choose who or what they believe in or don't believe in. The constitution was not based on the bible. he right to freedom of religion is so central to American democracy that it was enshrined in the First Amendment to the Constitution along with other fundamental rights such as freedom of speech and freedom of the press. In order to guarantee an atmosphere of absolute religious liberty, this country's founders also mandated the strict separation of church and state. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."-- The First Amendment. I wonder what ever happened to that amendment.

    I'll give you that the first presidents believed in a higher power, but at least three of them were by no means Christians. Adams and Jefferson were very vocal Diests. They believed that a man's relationship with God was between that man and his concept of god. The Constitution took great pains to show NO favoritism towards any religion. This amazing need for Palin and her ilk to justify their warped sense of politics by invoking God has always been the most troubling for me to deal with. I'd ask them to truly ask the question they display on their hypocritical bumpers....What would Jesus do? Or in this case, say. I'm sure that it wouldn't be making up crap to dupe the gullible idiot populous.

    Civil rights come from righteous indignation IMHO. Refusing to sit in the back of the bus, etc.... \nDeists use the vocabulary terms "Grand Architect" when expressing thoughts about their Creator. Who's that???\nThe first five presidents and most, if not all, of the Founding Fathers believed in a God. Atheism was mostly unknown among the writers of Constitution and was very rare among those of European descent in the 18th-Century. \n The Age of Enlightenment were theological concepts based on reasoning over scripture. Democrats also reasoned that Black African Individuals were 2/3 a human being too. leaving religion out is how stuff like that got wrote in. That is in direct violation of every commandment and betrays humans covenant with the "creator".

I know that your Palin boner makes it impossible for you to refrain from trying to tear down each of these incidents of Palin's clear lack of knowledge about US History, Laws, and Government. A person who is going to be second in command of our country should absolutely be familiar with all Government Departments. They should be the primary authority on the workings of a government they wish to be second in command of. Yes, there are lawyers, but trying to make that your counter argument is like trying to say that it would be ok for her to try to solicit the help of the House Un-American Activities Committee to track down terrorists. She just doesn't have the right experience or expertise to be even considered as a good candidate. Nobody cares what you have to say, your excuses do not excuse her stupidity.

    Paul Revere Warned the British at 6/05/2011 9:56 PM
    Ok. Quick history lesson. After seeing the coded lights in the church steeple warning them of an approaching British force of 700 Redcoats, Paul Revere was one of THREE men that set out that night on horseback to Lexington. Revere never actually made it to Lexington folks, for he was captured. While in British captivity he did talk to the british, greatly inflating the number of rebel forces that were in Lexington. He was Bluffing, just as he was instructed to if were ever taken prisoner. After spilling the beans, he did manage to escape, but had to walk back to Boston. "I called for the doctor and Mr. Daws to come up. In an instant I was surrounded by four. They had placed themselves in a straight road that inclined each way; they had taken down a pair of bars on the north side of the road, and two of them were under a tree in the pasture. The doctor being foremost, he came up and we tried to get past them; but they being armed with pistols and swords, they forced us into the pasture. The doctor jumped his horse over a low stone wall and got to Concord." "I observed a wood at a small distance and made for that. When I got there, out started six officers on horseback and ordered me to dismount. One of them, who appeared to have the command, examined me, where I came from and what my name was. I told him. He asked me if I was an express. I answered in the affirmative. He demanded what time I left Boston. I told him, and added that their troops had catched aground in passing the river, and that there would be five hundred Americans there in a short time, for I had alarmed the country all the way up."\n\nI observed a wood at a small distance and made for that.

Without his consent or connivance, Revere was cast in the role of the solitary hero by the press, propagandists, and poets. By his own account, his actions that night were far less romantic than was pop**arly reported. He wrote about receiving much help, being rarely alone, and, due to a sound plan, Patriots alerting the countryside before he ever rose to the saddle. Paul Revere acted as a team member, an essential role if the goal of defeating the world's greatest military power was to be realized.

    All part of the same race folks. Race to get your guidance satellite into orbit, prove the theory... ICBM's came next, mobile launchers, then stealthy subs. They went broke for sure and now we are broke.

    This dizzy chick is a dope. She became an instant millionaire in much the same manner as the Jersey Shore creatures. In this country stupid sells. Sadly, she is so stupid she doesn't even realize she is! LOL

    I watched her campaign, was an endless comedy show. How stupid can one person be and still run for prez? Dunno, GWB was pretty stupid, maybe she's trying to out-shine him in that department.

    To say the White House doesn't have a department of law is a bit facetious. The President has a legal advisor who has a department with lawyers and clerks to assist. He also has an Attorney General, who the last time I checked, is supposed to be something of a legal expert. He also runs a department (called Justice). So far, this writer is wrong on most of these "facts". Typical liberal b.s.

      The problem is not with "liberal b.s." as you state, but with the many types like you that do not know the truth. You are content with living the lies that the Right has spoon fed you since birth.

      I would suggest the next time you try to defend an idiotic statement, you look up the facts first. You may be surprised at what you find! You might just be a liberal!

      You are good at proving your stupidity anywhere. Fact: There is NO Department of Law in the WH. Attorney General is NOT part of the WH. You always make proving you wrong so easy but you are amusing.
