124. I watched some of the Values Voter Summit on C-SPAN yesterday.
Now I think I "get it" as to why Sarah Palin is so loved by the evangelicals and why she is so dangerous.

You have to think like a fundamentalist thinks in order to understand.

This woman is everything a fundamentalists could want as far as extreme religious views. It is ALL these people care about. They feel that Palin has been chosen by God, and because of this, whatever she says or does is right because it is what God wants.

I repeat, this is ALL they care about.

If the McCain/Palin ticket is elected, it doesn't matter if our country's problems become even worse than they are now. It doesn't matter, because it is God's will.

If our jobs continue to be outsourced, so be it. If we lose our homes, so be it. If we are ill and can't afford medical treatment, so be it. If we cannot afford heat in the winter, so be it. If we get involved in war after war, if we find ourselves on "the eve of destruction," so be it. And on and on. IT IS GOD'S WILL, and it is our lot in life to bear every hardship, and to persevere in spite of immense difficulties. And if we do this, and if we put God above all things, we will get our reward in Heaven.

That's how a fundamentalist thinks.

Now, if the McCain/Palin ticket is elected, I am 100 percent positive that yes, things will get worse.

The implications are frightening.
