    I don’t really care that the reason Palin was nominated to the VP slot was that she gives old white guys wood. That is a shrinking demographic (lol). I also don’t care that she is a pathological liar and exhibits all the symptoms of NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder).
    I don’t even care that she is ignorant and uneducated enough to believe in YEC (young earth creationism).
    However, I do care that she believes in the Rapture and a measurable segment of the electorate including reasonably intelligent people like Ross and Reihan believe it would be just fine to give her the nuke launch codes.
    This is a seriously disturbed person who would be extremely dangerous in a position of power.
    And the news media needs to ask her about her beliefs.
    She doesn’t get a pass on “religious tolerance”.

    [Ice said,] “Over forty percent of the world’s Jews now live in Israel. What Sarah Palin probably believes is that this is the first regathering,” when the Jews all migrate to Israel.
    “This is a condition for the second regathering, the regathering in belief, when the Jewish nation is converted. Then there will be the battle of Armageddon, because remember, Satan wants to wipe out the Jews to prevent the Second Coming, but Jesus comes to rescue the beleaguered Jews. We believe that the Jews are going to be converted so that they can call on Jesus to rescue them from Satan.”

    Palin and Graham.

    She quizzed [Billy Graham] on the presidents he’s known and wanted his take on what the Bible says about Israel, Iran and Iraq, Franklin Graham reported.

    If part of Palin’s religion includes a belief in using Israel and the Jewish population of MENA as staked goats to bring down teh Rapture, I think the electorate has a right to know.

    And perhaps…..just perhaps….if the electorate had known about Bush’s Gog/Magog fantasies….hundreds of thousands of muslims would not have died in Iraq.

    I wonder if people here remember my hypothesis of the lack of intellectualism in modern protestantism?
    Well……here is John Derbyshire at the Secular Racists blog agreeing with me.
    The Death of Intellectual Protestantism.

    I think the world is missing something about Dr. Nidal Hasan.
    He was an intelligent, highly-educated officer in the finest military on the planet.
    He was a human being that was subjected to such horrific stress that it fractured his three great oaths……to al-Islam, to medicine, and to his country.
    The stress of being deployed to a profoundly unjust war that exists only as a face-saver for moronic WEC proselytizing and meddling.
    That broke him.
    Perhaps his agony can at least provoke an honest discussion of why we are still in Iraq and what we should do in Afghanistan.

    I know some people are distressed that I continue to call out the WECs for their lack of honesty and hypocracy….but what does this Oklahoma law amount to but a virtual public stoning for having an abortion?
    Message to WECs– if abortion is murder like you claim, then prosecute the women for murder.
    Don’t seek to shame them in the public square….isn’t that a HPPA violation n/e ways?

    So, yeah…there are A LOT of similiarities between the Religious Right and the Taliban.
    Just because they don’t throw acid in the US, doesn’t mean they wouldn’t if they could.
    They just kill abortion doctors instead.

    Rush suggests an evironmental scholar should commit suicide for discussing birth control. This is a common mantra of the right, as exemplified in Aziz’s outreach to the prolife.
    Like Streiff, who equates legal abortion with 40 million murders, this is a common trope of the right, that any attempt at birthcontrol education is tantamount to a global eugenic holocaust perpetrated on embryos.
    Never mind that a half century of WEC missionariism and feelgood infant mortality reduction programs completely devoid of birth control education has resulted in triple digit population growth in Africa. Hopefully the Reavers the Meddlers have built there will be suitably grateful.

    bdr asks…

    “For example, at what time in gestation would an abortion be wrong? Or would not ever be until the fetus is actually born?”

    The libertarian position is the mothers rights are paramount.
    The prolife position is that a diploid oocyte IS a fully realized human being, and has peer or superior rights to the host mother.
    The legal position is a mashup, with some states allowing late term abortions, others not.

    More blogospheric hilarity ensues from Willow’s mormon iconography link.
    Let the haiku competition begin!
    hmmm….evangelicals are 20% of the American electorate and Mormons are less than 2%…I think it is time for the New Evangelical Republican Party of the Confederacy to throw Mormon-convert Glenn Beck and Cleon Skousen under the bus.

    Improved version!!!! lulz.

    Note: you can see murals like this all over Salt Lake City, but sadly, they aren’t interactive. ;)

    I have said before that religion is not evil, but that evangelicalism is. There can be xian or muslim evangelicals, even atheist evangelicals. Xian evangelicals are most common because of their biblical mandate to proselytize. But the common denominator is an inflexible insistance that they are correct, and it is their right, nay, their duty to impose those values on others. America began as a 100% white protestant nation. Twenty years ago the electorate was 95% white christian. In 2008 the electorate was 75% white christian. But in another 20 years the electorate will only be 50% white christian. So eventually we will be rid of them. ;)
    In the meantime, this explains what we are seeing rather well.

    That is one reason our founding fathers opted for a separation of church and state. They recognized that religion and politics could coexist only when they occupied different domains. Most denominations, which preach and practice tolerance, have rendered unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. Religious groups may have found a community of interest with a political party to further their aims; they have not, by and large, sought to convert the political system into a religious one. Until now.

    The tea-baggers who hate President Obama with a fervor that is beyond politics; the fear-mongers who warn that Obama is another Hitler or Stalin; the wannabe storm troopers who brandish their guns and warn darkly of the president’s demise; the cable and talk-radio blowhards who make a living out of demonizing Obama and tarring liberals as America-haters — these people are not just exercising their rights within the political system. They honestly believe that the political system — a system that elected Obama — is broken and only can be fixed by substituting their certainty for the uncertainties of American politics.

    As we are sadly discovering, this minority cannot be headed off, which is most likely why conservatism transmogrified from politics to a religion in the first place. Conservatives who sincerely believed that theirs is the only true and right path have come to realize that political tolerance is no match for religious vehemence.

    The New Evangelical Christianist Republican Party.

    Fauxnews asks where have all the christians gone?
    The answer is into the GOP, which is fast becoming a uniformly theocratic party where the leadership is forced to endorse xian religious doctrine like creationism, homophobia, LIFE! and virtual chattel slavery of women and children, America-the-judeo-christian-nation and freedom-of-religion-for-me-but-not-for-thee, aka Proselytization.

    Also: Most likely presidential candidate for the New Evangelical Christianist Republican Party.

    Fiji’s very own Talibangelicals:

    A “Jesus crusade” led by Fiji’s police force has been compared to the rule of the Taliban.

    Editor in Chief of the Fiji Times, Mr Netani Rika, addressed journalism and communications students at the University of Queensland yesterday, telling them of life under the illegal rule of interim Fiji Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama.

    Mr Rika said police converts to the fundamentalist New Methodist Church had replaced military personnel as in-house censors in newsrooms.

    Newsmax pulls columnist’s sedition.
    Banana Republicans.

    Isn’t advocating sedition tantamount to treason against the State?
    And therefore punishable by execution?
