See how this bit of propaganda tries to kill all thought of Palin's actual toxic stance on the environment, by making it appear as if she has herself sprung up out of Alaska's green and pleasant land: a well-groomed, forward-looking, giant (Christian) wood nymph.
It's pretty good, as such deceptive visuals go, since someone uninformed would never know, from looking at it, just how crazy Palin really is, or how ruinous her End-Times policies would really be (especially, although not only, for the green parts of the Earth). There's one detail, however, that gives the game away (as often happens). That weird image of the continental USA, with the outline of Alaska superimposed upon it, makes it look as if a huge chunk of the nation--or even of the planet--has been taken out, as if by some immense explosive. So in one way it is an honest image, since Palin and her husband Todd were both staunch members of the Alaska Independence Party--a secessionist party--before they made themselves "Republicans." And their secessionism is based squarely on the notion that Lord Jesus, when he comes back to take command, will establish his new earthly kingdom in Alaska; and then the rest of us down in the Lower 48 will all be screaming to get in, while everything, and everyone, around us goes to hell (literally). Now, whether that's a coded image, or merely poor design, I couldn't say. But I can say with certainty that we who still believe in the Enlightment had better keep a wary eye on SarahPAC.
