Amen.

I've been saying for years now that one of the few differences between Radical Islam and the Christian Right is that the so-called Christians have not started killing people for their religion or sins, yet. Although Pat Robertson did offer a fatwa of sorts on Hugo Chavez a few years ago. It's coming.

The Christian Right is neither Christian (they ignore Jesus's clear message of love, acceptance of outsiders, and forgiveness) nor Right (they're for Big Government to tell us how to live and they've grown the government and the debt under W. and Reagan while Clinton shrunk it).

1952 Republican Values

2008 Republican Values

Theocracy, War, Guns, Intolerance, Ignorance, Incompetence, Contempt of Science, Misuse of 9/11 to Excuse Iraq War and a Wall with Mexico, Leaving bin Laden in place as a Boogeyman

Surely this is the most unholy of pairings.

She speaks in unintelligible tongues. He can't remember what he said the day before.

She has no idea what the Bush Doctrine is, but won't admit it. He once knew the Bush tax cut for the rich at a time of war was irresponsible, now he says let's give ourselves more.

She doesn't take time to think, she won't even blink. He goes from nice guy to hothead in a wink.

She's never met a foreign head of state. He's never met a war he doesn't like.

She fired small-town professionals for not supporting her campaign. His campaign is by, of, and for lobbyists.

She is proud of her daughter's choice and wants to force all girls into the same choice. He chose to leave his wife after her car wreck and marry a 26 yr-old beer heiress when he was 43.

Everything they do, personal attacks, lying, flip-flopping on a daily basis, they fictitiously claim Obama has done. He hasn't.

Please come to your senses and think about what the US and the world will be like after four years of McCain-Palin or Palin-Whomever Karl Rove picks for her.

Hey, duke. Your conclusion shows that you don't care about facts or outcomes, just labels.

But in case you care to reflect on the truth, check this out. The CIA studied what has actually worked to defeat terrorist groups. They found that most die out over time, and the most effective method is to take them apart by a law enforcement approach.

Another fact, Bill Clinton actually got his man, Slobodan Milosevic, and delivered him to the World Court in The Hague, where he later died while facing trial. George W. Bush didn't get bin Laden and in fact since 2004, "isn't that concerned that he is still free".

But most important of all, on whose watch did 9/11 occur?

The Republicans. They are weak, they let us be attacked. Throw them out!

I'm sure you know down in your gut, if you have the capacity to be honest with yourself, that the Republicans including you would be shouting that at Democrats had Al Gore been (rightfully) in office on September 11, 2001. But since your ne'er-do-well buddy, W, was in office, you suddenly see it as a good thing to be the incompetent party that did not protect Americans from an attack.

"Obama's plan to attack Al Qaeda sites within Pakistan is not the same thing as the Bush Doctrine because he is not ...

"I see. Bush should have sent a sheriff to Afghanistan and told the Taliban he was going to arrest bin Laden and his highly trained terrorists.

And people wonder why the American people viscerally distrust liberals in matters of foreign policy."

Amen, Rev. Bess. Please keep telling the country the truth!

Sarah Palin is the Theocrat that the framers of the Constitution worked so hard to thwart. Let's not let them down by voting her into the VP office.

She is not a Protestant nor a regular Evangelical. She is a Pentecostal! She speaks in tongues and believes Armageddon will occur within her lifetime. Sounds like she's ready to get it started. Her pastor says Alaska will be a refuge state for hundreds of thousands of their type when the rest of the world is engulfed in flame.

If you love your children and you love living on this beautiful green planet, please vote for Barack Obama.

She speaks in unitelligible tongues -- all the Wasilla Pentecostals do as they believe that is the first sign of receiving the Holy Spirit.

But she didn't have a clue what The Bush Doctrine was. The "we can do anything to anyone at anytime that we think might be a threat to us" statement of arrogance from the most ignorant, autocratic administration we've had in the US, at least in modern times.

How could she not know the fundamental theme of the man her political career has been modeled after?

Does she not pay any attention to national politics whatsoever?

As mayor and governor, Mrs. Palin has shown ample evidence she will take W's arrogance, abuse of office, and prideful ignorance to new extremes.

Now that W. has laid the groundwork by coopting the power of the other two branches (by stacking the federal courts and the normally non-political attorney posts in the Justice Dept. with under-qualified ideological hacks, and by cowering the Congress, just like he's cowered the news media, all is ready for Sarah Palin to come in and implement her theocratic ideas cooked up in a complete vacuum of actual law.

Given how she wrested away the governor's chair from fellow Republican Frank Murkowski, I would like to make a market on how long it would take her to have John McCain declared unfit for office, if something like Alzheimer's crops up.

Sincerely,

The American Way '62

I hope against hope to see the day W. and Cheney share a cell across the way from Perle and Wolfowitz and down the hall from Rumsfeld and Rice, well ok, prisons aren't coed. Let's say Rummie and Rove.
