Holy War?
As anyone familiar with my writing knows, I’m a hawk. I believe in America as a world power that, when needed, should use its military might to protect the downtrodden, those suffering genocide, or to stop a country harboring terrorists. I would support an invasion of Iran if all else failed. However, I do think we need to truly exhaust all resources prior to bomb, bomb, bombing that country. After all, its citizenry is very pro-American.
But I’m not down with Holy War. I’m not interested in casting out demons or witches, or putting a Pentacostal Evangelical who makes Bush look agnostic at the helm of this government. It’s crazy, people.
Won’t this play right into the extremists’ hands? Electing another evangelical, end-times Christian into office while in the midst of two wars in or near the Holy Land? I don’t imagine that Israeli’s are feeling too comfortable with this choice either, though they may be as nervous about an Obama Presidency.
Personally, I think we’ve reached critical mass with this. There’s nothing whatsoever wrong with religious people in Government. It’s just that Palin is so over-the-top religious. Zealots, even well-meaning ones, are dangerous when put in positions of power.
Perhaps you didn’t notice but Sarah Palin is not the presidential candidate. John McCain is the presidential candidate. Israelis are much more than just a little concerned about an Obama presidency. Americans should be also. Do you have any idea where Obama is religiously since you seem to be so sure about Palin - again I remind you the VP selection?
Doris–
Yes, she’s the VP candidate. That is literally one heartbeat away from the Presidency. 1 of 4 VP’s have become President in our nation’s history. They are almost always the presumptive nominee when the President steps down (though not this time). Certainly there is no reason why Palin would not become the nominee when McCain ends his term, and she would without doubt assume the role of President should he die in office.
Obama’s religious views? I think he’s mainly a-religious and BS’s his way around religion. Same with McCain. I think they’re too very non-religious people doing a whole lot of pretending…
