CAMPAIGN 2008

An Apostle of Alaska

We know the outlines—the moose-hunting mom who juggles BlackBerrys and kids. But what does she believe? The real Sarah Palin.

    And yet religious wing nuts like Reagan and Bush Jr. put this nation in the hands of the greedy and left the rest of us to ruin in the name of promoting the wealthy. Being a Christian does not make someone right and that's the problem with this country. Politics and religion should be kept seperate. Sarah Palin may well be a wonderful mother in her own right but leader of the free world? I think not. Keep waving the flag of God, it is however well intentioned but none the less meaningless in the realm of making sound judgement, go ask Judas. Many powerful people hide behind being so called 'Christians' but still do evil bidding in the name of wealth and power.

    I do not know how much dealing Sarah Palin has with God on a one-to-one basis. However, if you read the Old Testament book of Genesis and Daniel, focusing on the lives of Joseph and Daniel, you find the history of two men who were intimate with God and great political leaders because of that relationship. I do not believe Sarah Palin loathes the American system of government, I am just not sure that she is the one to lead it. Yes, I am a Bible-believing, practicing Christian. I believe what is stated in the Proverbs: "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. Much of the current state of our nation is the result of men being guided by greed instead of God. As difficult as it is to believe for some, as stated in the Book of Jeremiah, "It is not in man that walketh to direct his own steps. The steps of our business and most political leaders have led us to brink of disaster.

    Palin represents the interests of those, like Grover Norquist, who have deep-seated fear and loathing of government and who have worked to destroy the American Democratic Republic from the inside out. Palin is simply uncommonly common. Her lack of depth, knowledge and vapidity is perfect in attracting those who would reduce governance in America to the shallow aspects of the individual over the nation and one religion over all others. The self-centered and self-aggrandizing aspects of what the Norquist/Palin "common-man" movement is is simply a retread of the Know-Nothing Party.

    Sarah Palin came into polotics with her own agenda. While she ruined the chances for McCain, she still feels that she is President of the United States material, i would say she is having delusions of grandeur. I hated that picture of her on the sofa with a once alive beautiful creation of nature now just a rug. She makes me ill.

    McCain is connected to Nazi supporters and Central American death squads.. so says
    FoxNews and Washington Post (two Republican news publishers)

    It is downright scary that these fundamentalist radicals have any political leverage whatsoever. We live in a secular nation in which freedom of religion is a fundamental right. This includes freedom from others religious views. It seems that anybody who hearkens back to religion as a basis for law is in violation of this. Jews, Muslims, Atheists and everybody else should have a right to live free of Christian influence. They are as legitimate in their beleifs as anybody else is. Nobody has the answers, just faith. We need to keep religious zealots of all stripes out of office. You wouldn't elect a radical Muslim, and that is no different than a radical Christian. People, please elect on policy and not your own view of morality. Christian morals do not apply to anybody who doesn't put themselves forth as a Christian. The only morality we can embrace as a Nation is that of the Golden Rule. Do no harm. Everything else is superfluous and belongs in Church, not government. Please keep your religious agendas out of politics.

    Its really sad that Americas perverted men would actually use looks to decide on a vice president! Just for the record, Sarah Palin looks like an old thin lipped witch. Her evangelistic ways has wowed the common idiot in small America to feel significant again. She stands for the redneck trailer trash people who wish they were as smart as Obama but are not. People who sit around drinking beer and blaming black folks for the reason they never went to college and the recession LOL. She is hope for the Billy Bobs around the world who wish to go from having no idea, straight to the whitehouse. Jed Clampett struck oil and moved to Alaska to raise Jethro and Sarah. America cannot be fooled anymore by the old Klan like tactics from the 50's and 60's. Trying to scare people and all that weak mess. We are tired of the whole world pointing at America and laughing because we have a president who is obviously retarded, and his best friend is trying to finish the job of ruining America. WHILE OUR ECONOMY GOES DOWN THE DRAIN, These broke ass so called Republicans, still hold on to that last hope. Republicans and small wages do not belong in the same sentence. If you make less than 250,000 a year and are still a Republican, you look stupid right now. Sarah Palin Juggling kids? Her kids are having unprotected sex in highschool!!! LOL Jerry Springer, please come and get these people!!!!

    "Not all Democrats agree with Mr. Frank that such policies are off-limits to criticism. Last week Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama said in a statement: 'Like a lot of my Democratic colleagues I was too slow to appreciate the recklessness of Fannie and Freddie. I defended their efforts to encourage affordable homeownership, when in retrospect, I should have heeded the concerns raised by their regulator in 2004. Frankly, I wish my Democratic colleagues would admit when it comes to Fannie and Freddie, we were wrong.'

    "Mr. Davis is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus."

    'Rank snobbery'

    Camille Paglia, who supports Sen. Barack Obama, has nothing but scorn for the way the media has treated Sarah Palin.

    "The mountain of rubbish poured out about Palin over the past month would rival Everest. What a disgrace for our jabbering army of liberal journalists and commentators, too many of whom behaved like snippy jackasses," Miss Paglia writes at www.salon.com.

    "The bourgeois conventionalism and rank snobbery of these alleged humanitarians stank up the place. As for Palin's brutally edited interviews with Charlie Gibson and that viper, Katie Couric, don't we all know that the best bits ended up on the cutting-room floor? Something has gone seriously wrong with Democratic ideology, which seems to have become a candied set of holier-than-thou bromides attached like tutti-frutti to a quivering green Jell-O mold of adolescent sentimentality."

    The Antichrist!:
    When George Soros failed to obtain the election of his candidate, John Kerry, in 2004, he brooded for a while, even said he might get out of politics altogether, but he just couldn???t stop himself. He has stated publicly that he wishes to burst the ???bubble of American supremacy,??? because he says our preeminence in the world is a detriment to global ???equilibrium.??? So far, he has failed, but he keeps on trying.

    And Mr. Soros has made no secret either of the fact that he sees the shortest way to effect political shake-ups, what he terms ???regime changes,??? is through very difficult economic conditions.

    America has not yet felt the full force of Soros style economic shock treatment. But others have.

    Soros made his first billion in 1992 by shorting the British pound with leveraged billions in financial bets, and became known as the man who broke the Bank of England. He broke it on the backs of hard-working British citizens who immediately saw their homes severely devalued and their life savings cut drastically in comparative worth almost overnight.

    When the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 threatened to spread globally, George Soros was right in the thick of it. Soros was accused by the Malaysian Prime Minister of causing the collapse with his monetary machinations, and he was branded in Thailand as an ???economic war criminal??? who ???sucks the blood from the people.??? Right in the middle of this crisis, Soros dashed off his book, The Crisis of Global Capitalism, which demanded a ???third way??? toward economic stability.

    Wake up, America, before it is too late!!!!

    I think Gov. Palin is not capable of handling the office of the Vice President, I hope the collective intellect of American people realises that it is important for the world's super power to vest its power in the capable rather than in the hands of inexperienced and mavericks!
