Jesus and Witches

I'll assume most of you have already figured out that those voting for McCain are pretty much the religious zealots of America and are doing it because their priest, pastor, or whoever - told them to. If they all were color-blind, and only saw or heard the actual candidates with no outside influence - then McCain would get about 8 votes (mostly for Palin cuz she is actually a pretty hot mama for her age).

It's unclear to me how ANYONE can want another 4 years of the same cr*p we've had for the last 8. I guess there's always some ardent Bush fans that would drink spiked kool-aid if he asked them to..... or die-hard Republicans that would vote for a moose if that was the candidate...

but to benivarius @ 10/30/2008 5:15:13 PM - you said - If you are willing to believe in witches, aren't you gullible enough to believe absolutely anything? If Jesus said, "Give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar's" why does she spend so much on clothes and hair?

I don't think you should critisize people for believing in witches if you're going to believe in God and Jesus. They're both far-fetched but there's probably more proof of witches than there is of God.... (no offense meant to God if he's out there)

I grew up in that tradition of Pentecostalism, too. They are people who are afraid of everything and everyone, and they are always defining themselves against others: they are always looking for enemies and judging themselves against these supposed enemies.
They have an extremely contradictory worldview, in that they want the end of the world to happen so that Jesus will return, but they are terrified that it may actually happen. They yearn for some mythical "good old days" when men were men and women were women and there were no problems in the world (and that's a time which, of course. never existed).
So I understand the difficulties most people have in trying to understand this movement. After all, if you want the world to go terribly wrong and end up in the battle of Armageddon, but at the same time you are scared to death that it may actually happen, you would tend to stand for some pretty contradictory suppositions!
If they truly had faith in God, they would not worry about anything. If they truly believed that God was in control of the world and the future, they would not care who was elected President or anything else. But they are extremely paranoid, that more than anything else this indicates the lack of faith they have in their own religion. That, more than anything else, makes them dangerous.

Why is this a story? this story just shows the anti-God liberal media out to destroy sarah palin why do they hate her so much because she prays and asked God for wisdom our founding fathers and our current senate open every day with prayer to god not allah or muhammed, why don't you do a story on obama's church and faith? or I forgot he is the media's love child

Sarah Palin has a right to practice her religion and worship God as she chooses. There have been several presidents who were practicing Catholics who did not come under this type of scrutiny. The Catholic faith has several religious rites that could seem strange to those not familiar with their beliefs. At least at this church they are preaching the Bible and not spouting political retoric and anti-American propiganda as was Obama's church.

why are there so many crazys in this country?

Even committed Republicans who support McCain are asking themselves if they really would take the risk of putting our country into Sarah Palin's hands. Many prominent Republicans, including Colin Powell, have said that Palin is not prepared to be Vice President. Being VP requires a depth of knowledge on national and international issues. Palin is ignorant of these matters. And being President requires great intelligence and a clear-eyed world view, one untainted by religious fanaticism. Look at the mess we got with the under-qualified Dubya, and even he seems smarter and less fanatical than Palin. McCain is 72 years old, with high cholesterol and high blood pressure; his father and grandfather each died of heart attacks at age 72. McCain's Vice President HAS to be ready to lead. And by lead, I am not referring to a full speed charge into Armageddon.

For those of you who don't know, Palin belongs to a fundamentalist church that believes the end of the world is near: that war, financial distress and famine will kill off the sinful non-believers, and that when this holocaust occurs all good Christians will be taking refuge in Alaska. Furthermore, her church conducts witch hunts -- they actually use prayer to locate "witches" in their community, then publicly brand them as witches, and hold them responsible for everything that goes wrong in town. (Honestly, I think the long winters must be getting to their minds.) You can go on YouTube and watch videos of Palin participating during sermons like this. She stands on the altar facing the members. The congregation stands with outstretched hands, trancelike, speaking in tounges while the priest prays to "keep Sarah safe from all forms of witchcraft."

Could you REALLY feel comfortable knowing that a woman who holds these beliefs would have the power to declare war and deploy nuclear missiles?

After hearing McCain and Obama speak, after watching Palin and Bidden and after noting the RNC and DNC positions it is hard to understand anyone having any doubt as to what the right choice is. Unless someone was active in the Republican Party or extremely wealthy, and even then, it is hard to imagine anyone being able to rationally justify voting for McCain-Palin. Their arguments are empty as they only offer unfounded and exaggerated scare and smear tactics that are easily debunked with the truth, while on the issues they just state generalities, heavily embedded with the I pronoun, without any specifics or substance or even any real hope. In contrast, Obama clearly states his positions with detail and defines his objective as being to benefit the middle class, which then ends up benefiting everyone, while he concentrates on we, us and you. The difference is obvious as being a McCain-Palin rationalized ???more of the same??? focus on benefit for Special Interests and a select few, arrogantly and deceptively pursued or with Obama-Bidden in finally turning things around and really focusing on straightening out the economy, ending the war in Iraq, putting al Qaeda out of business and addressing our many and drastic domestic problems and needs, to the benefit of everyone. McCain and Palin are stuck having to patronize their major supporters and then they just can???t do anything for the majority of Americans, can???t do anything but ???more of the same???. McCain wants very badly to be president before he retires and Palin just wants all of the attention she can get, for both of them it is just all about them. No doubt that Obama has an ego too but his seems to be strongly motivated to make a positive difference and with Bidden being much the same.
