Why Palin Scares Me

Saturday 13 September 2008 | general

Palin scares the living daylights out of me, and I think, sadly, with her anywhere near the chief leadership position in America, we won’t have four more years of the Bush administration; we’ll have four years of the Bush administration minus whatever slight, vague, microscopic, nano-second-lasting bit of sense it has. I mean, the woman is talking about starting a shooting war with Russia.

But what’s just as scary as she is are some of those supporting her.

Here, for example, is the Forerunner’s three-point election plan:

1. Vote Constitution Party. (I vote my conscience and cannot support McCain even with Palin.)
2. Hope and pray for McCain/Palin to win. (I am an idealist, but also a realist!)
3. Pray for John McCain’s salvation and pray specific imprecatory prayers if he fails to pro-actively defend the sanctity of human life. (Source)

Pray for the Republican candidate’s death? I’d be terrified to know what sadistic things he requests God to do to Obama.

At least he’s not advocating a more active role like this fellow:

Jesus told us to love our neighbor, but hate the evil inside them. Sometimes, if the evil inside them is so great, our neighbor will have to be stoned. We do each stoning with sadness for the individual, but with brighter hopes for the community. (Source)

I swear, put this guy on an island with one extremist from each religion and turn it into a reality show — “The Weakest Extremist” or “Lost, for Good” — and save the planet as an added bonus.
