In any other "modern" country, a tape of someone saying the Iraq War and an Alaskan pipeline are ...

..... missions from God would at the very least arouse a great deal of skepticism, or more likely put a quick kibosh on a political career. In Western/Northern Europe or Canada, Palin would have been dismissed as a quack.

But not in the United States of Amurka. Sigh. :hide:

that use the same premises - Allah wants them to ________...

It`s so wierd, like a cult is trying to take over our country. Jim Jones would probably have a high degree of respectability with many of the hard right today. It`s like massive brainwashing. Seems like this is the main reason the dems lose elections (IMHO). We tend to be free thinkers, we will never all agree, and we will never march in lock-step. Whereas people in the religiously wierd cults will do as they are told. Same mentality as bush, you are either with us or against us. Most dems that I know march to thier own drummer, but we NEED to preach unity in this election. If we don`t have unity we will lose, pure and simple. IMHO, if we don`t call out the phoniness of the cults, they truely will take over our country. Sad part is these cult members are being used by very skilled puppet masters.

There is only one true "Mission from God" :D

He who doth bringeth forth the blood of earth shall see lucrative wealth before thee as the Lord shall surely smile upon thee and giveth thee a trophy wife with platinum blond hair like that of spun gold. Yea, though thou will workest hard for thoust labor on the cold North Slope of a far distant shore still as yet unexplored in our time, thou wilst have access to various Gulfstream IV that will carry thee upon thy wings so that thou shall have vacations in Cabo San Lucas. And the lord looked upon it and his will be done. And Jesus wept.

The American people are truly self-righteous nin-cum-poops (my spelling)

Here, it's seen as a virtue to believe in a bunch of nonsense as long as it has some sort of attachment to a phony sky deity. Very sad. It will be our downfall, I fear.

People overseas and across the border laugh at our churchiness to the point that it dictates how we govern.

Man, if you all want things to get better, look towards yourselves and each other. No invisible man is going to help you. The invisible man didn't help on 9/11, he didn't help in December 2000 and he ain't gonna help now.
