The prank call gives insight into Palin’s judgment. She flirts with the prankster who she believes to be French President Sarkozy. This conversation provides proof that she does not have the qualities to lead America or serve in any public office. It’s alarming the religious right supports this woman.

Man oh man! Do these religious wing nuts actually think that the people of this nation are going to allow them to have their way with the goverment? Especially in light of the likes of the Taliban, Al Qaeda religious /political mix? The more one hears from these consevative Christian groups the more they sound like the consevative Islamic groups,pretty much the same rhetoric, just wearing different hats.

#1 Obama won because the economy went in the dumper. Just about *any* Democrat candidate would have won under those circumstances with voters seeing the value of their 401K’s cut in half.

#2 The GOP is moribund because a) the religious political extremists took it over some years ago and drove away almost every reasonable party member. Barry Goldwater would be branded a “RINO” by those in charge of the party today, who only care about abortion and gays b) George W. Bush and the Congressional Republicans did not stay true to keeping a lid on spending and fixing, with free market solutions, the problems of the nation such as healthcare. McCain’s plan to decouple medical insurance from people’s jobs should have been done a long time ago, for example.

#3 The millennium is over. Jesus did not come back. People are tired of the Pat Robertson – James Dobson – and their ilk’s obsession with abortion and homosexuality.

#4 Still, people hunger for The Messiah. And the Democrats found Him. I just did not know that they hated Hillary and the Clintons so much. Hillary should be the VP-elect and had she been the P-Candidate she would have won by a larger margin than BHO

Palin is not just a garden-variety ‘religious’ conservative. She is apparently connected with a movement called the “New Apostolic Reformation” which advocates the overthrow of the Constitution, all ‘worldly’ governments, and all religions other than the movement. Headed by C. Peter Wagner, this movement claims to now have more member churches than the Southern Baptists, and says it has infiltrated many aspects of American life, including politics, finance, education, etc. to prepare for an eventual takeover. I’m not sure what to make of this myself– if these claims are true, we have a case of dangerous domestic terrorism. OTOH, it might just be a small bunch of delusional nutjobs.In either case, if Palin is palling around with this crowd, she’s simply off-the-charts wacko. Thank God she didn’t get elected.

so banning hate crimes is an attack on the religious freedom of Christians .. they must read a different Gospel in their churches than the one I grew up with

Hey, J – Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and go live your fear-filled life somewhere out of the public eye. We’ve got work to do around here.

The ungodly are having their gloating day. Their man won so God- who is a joke to them- is on their side. Really.Just might be that Sarah was your last chance of grace and now He has more unpleasant plans for you. When God judges and destroys Nations ,He always makes sure the wicked are in power.Your going to have your showdown with the Almighty.Just be patient.

What the Religious Right seems to forget is that if they get too involved in government, government may start to get involved in religion. That is to create rules and regulations for things such as non-profit tax rules and what qualifies them for such; treasonous talk such as G…D… America if blatant and consistent, (this could be deemed political advocacy and they would lose the non-profit status); etc. etc.

I am sure that the RR does not want government interference with them, so they better be careful about their interference with Gov.

It may be some of Sarah’s buddies will be sharing a cell with Ted Stevens in the near future.
