A Clear and Palin Danger
A conservative acquaintance of mine asked why I keep posting about Sarah Palin, she wondered if my “obession” [sic] was the result of panic. I told her it was because most people don’t know much about Palin and that they should know as much as possible before voting. But my conservative acquaintance just shrugged that off and said, “You liberals are worried that someone is more popular than your Messiah Obama. You’re all just scared.”
She was right about that last part. I am scared, a lot of us are, but not because of the nonexistent threat Palin poses to Obama. It’s the threat Sarah Palin poses to America if she should ever become President. Religion and politics don’t mix. When they do, you get the Taliban.
Matt Damon and Amy Poehler (as Hillary Clinton) were right when they said we should ask Sarah Palin about dinosaurs. The Republican vice presidential nominee thinks dinosaurs walked the Earth just 7,000 years ago, along side man. She also believes that Jesus H. Christ will return in her lifetime to deliver us from evil.
Salon: The Pastor Who Clashed With Palin
Pastor Howard Bess wrote the book Sarah Palin wanted banned from the Wasilla, Alaska library, fought her on abortion and gay rights, and says the country should fear her election.
Another valley activist, Philip Munger, says that Palin also helped push the evangelical drive to take over the Mat-Su Borough school board. “She wanted to get people who believed in creationism on the board,” said Munger, a music composer and teacher. “I bumped into her once after my band played at a graduation ceremony at the Assembly of God. I said, ‘Sarah, how can you believe in creationism — your father’s a science teacher.’ And she said, ‘We don’t have to agree on everything.‘
“I pushed her on the earth’s creation, whether it was really less than 7,000 years old and whether dinosaurs and humans walked the earth at the same time. And she said yes, she’d seen images somewhere of dinosaur fossils with human footprints in them.”
Munger also asked Palin if she truly believed in the End of Days, the doomsday scenario when the Messiah will return. “She looked in my eyes and said, ‘Yes, I think I will see Jesus come back to earth in my lifetime.‘”

I myself am not religious, but I respect the religious beliefs of others, as long as they do not wish to impose them on others.
But I’ll gladly say that this woman is just as fucking insane as the Taliban who think they get 72 virgins for blowing themselves up next to infidels.
She’s the typical hypocrite fundie- her daughter is knocked up out of wedlock, but she wants to ban books she doesn’t like. Judge not, lest ye be judged, bitch. Ye being judged.
