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.
