  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.
