Interview for Philly Magazine:

Excerpt:

VICTOR FIORILLO: Okay, last question. I'm sure you've seen all the
comparisons in the media and among Republicans of Sarah Palin to
Wonder Woman. How do you feel about that?


LYNDA CARTER: Don't get me started. She's the anti-Wonder Woman. She's
judgmental and dictatorial, telling people how they've got to live
their lives. And a superior religious self-righteousness … that's just
not what Wonder Woman is about. Hillary Clinton is a lot more like
Wonder Woman than Mrs. Palin. She did it all, didn't she?

No one has the right to dictate, particularly in this country, to
force your own personal views upon the populace — religious views. I
think that is suppressive, oppressive, and anti-American. We are the
loyal opposition. That's the whole point of this country: freedom of
speech, personal rights, personal freedom. Nor would Wonder Woman be
the person to tell people how to live their lives. Worry about your
own life! Worry about your own family! Don't be telling me what I want
to do with mine.

I like John McCain. But this woman — it's anathema to me what she
stands for. I think America should be very afraid. Very afraid.
Separation of church and state is the one thing the creators of the
Constitution did agree on — that it wasn't to be a religious
government. People should feel free to speak their minds about
religion but not dictate it or put it into law.

What I don't understand, honestly, is how anyone can even begin to say
they know the mind of God. Who do they think they are? I think that's
ridiculous. I know what God is in my life. Now I am sure that she's
not all just that. But it's enough to me. It's enough for me to have a
visceral reaction. And it makes me mad.

People need to speak up. Doesn't mean that I'm godless. Doesn't mean
that I am a murderer. What I hate is this demonization of everybody
but one position. You're un-American because you're against the war.
It's such bullshit. Fear. It's really such a finite way of thinking
about God to think that your measley little mind can know the mind of
God. It's a very little God that way. I think that God's bigger. I
don't presume to know his mind. Or her mind.
