Obama the Baby Killer is toast and no amount of crying by the liberals of Europe can save him. Just accept it. Looking forward to the appointment of some new judges and then bye-bye Roe v. Wade.

"Obama the baby-killer". No hysteria there then.

Presumably you are referring to his support for partial-birth abortion, which is tantamount to infanticide.

Given their tacit support for infanticide, should we now talk about Plato, Cicero and Aristotle the baby killers? Pericles the baby killer?

In any case an economic downturn could kill the Republicans.

And who says God doesn't like Alaska?

It is indeed worrying to hear her say that the troops in Iraq are on "God's mission" and that the pipeline is God's will... my favourite quote from the Matt Damon clip is: "I want to know if she really thinks dinosaurs were here 4000 years ago .... because she's going to have the nuclear codes."

Those are valid questions, and before now I'd have said that perhaps Palin isn't much more likely than anyone else to let her religious beliefs bleed over into decision-making or inform her role in office: "creation science" is a very common position to take among evangelical Christians and having a creationist in charge of the nuclear codes hasn't brought us any closer to nuclear apocalypse thus far. But in this clip she does mix her faith and her politics very deliberately, and that is a worry.

Still, I think a fiscally conservative creationist can cause less harm than a fiscally liberal evolutionist in the White House (and of course there's no reason to think Obama won't allow his faith, crafted in part by a racist imbecile, to enter his political decision-making either).

I think I still prefer McCain/Palin over Obama/Biden.

I'm not sure which I find scarier, the prospect of Sarah Palin as VP, or some of the posters on this blog...

Sound bite after sound bite, cliche after cliche: saved... be amazed... God sent us from the church... Alaska is all over the news... something is going on here, (God presumably)... God's will has to be done... so pray about it ... (to mmmm get it done?)... hearts right with God, reaching people, work together to get God's will done, that the plan is God's plan.. pray for protection... special, special place...destiny...sent out... bless you...times are changing (wasn't that Bob Dylan?)... I have a word... given to me... pray over you...God will tell us what is going on... bubble up...pour out... God's will to be done... destiny... head not tail... coming to fruition...outpouring of God's spirit..revival...touch them....dedicating life to Jesus...


I wouldn't worry too much it's just standard evangelical speak...sort of thing I hear all the time.

Listen real careful though emphasis added. On the pipeline she said, "Pray about that also, *I think* God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built so, pray for that."

On the armed forces, "Pray for our military. He's going to be deployed in September, to Iraq, pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right, also for this country that our leaders, our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God, *that's what we have to make sure we are praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God’s plan*, so bless them with your prayers."

Note the qualifications of 'God's will'.

It's just the usual double speak. It's God's will...mmmmm....but we have to pray for it..... we have to make sure the plan is God's plan. If it goes wrong, then it wasn't God's plan!

Actually it means nothing, and I am a Christian and that's the language of the tradition I'm familiar with, but I'm saying it means nothing. Sooner or later somebody has to say it.

Peter Morrow: agree completely.

40 million dead since Roe v Wade - you can call that hysteria if you like. Time to end the Obamination.

And go to the rally at Stormont on October 18th.

I wouldn't be so harsh on Creationists. After all, William Jennings Bryan was an outspoken Creationist, and he resigned from Woodrow Wilson's Cabinet after Wilson began pushing to enter WWI.

However, I do have to say that I consider Palin's comments on Iraq to be blasphemous. (I'm not sure if I said it here or on Justin Webb's blog.)

I further wonder why people are so concerned about the death of the unborn (And I say this as someone who doesn't support abortion under most circumstances) and not as concerned about the death of the born, who will most assuredly suffer under the McCain or Palin (or Biden or Obama) administration, if they continue the foreign policy they currently promote...

Smasher
Calm down a little. How will we stop Obama's election, or change his mind if he is elected, by calling him a baby killer, or attending a rally at Stormont?

antisygyzy, do you find her scary? Good! That is what I want for a President. We can rest assured, sleeping confidently in the knowledge that should the duties of god and country require her to give the order to incinerate the entire human race with 10,000 hydrogen bombs, President Palin will not flinch or hesistate for even one second.
