McCainanites Plot the Second Coming of the Pit Bull -- Palin Will Exceed Low Expectations

Sarah Palin will probably do well in the debate tonight, and will be proclaimed as “wonderful” and “brilliant” because she has set her own bar so very low. It is another Trojan Horse moment for the deceitful McCain campaign. The woman cannot be as dumb and totally uniformed as she has looked in her two real interviews (Hannity does not count, for he is no journalist, only a propaganda shill).

Don’t get me wrong, she is surely not qualified, by education or experience, to be president of the United States. But she has to be smarter than a fence post, which is the object she has resembled in the interviews with Couric and Gibson.

So I predict that she will exceed expectations, and that the ever-scheming McCainanites expect this to give them a much needed bounce in the polls. But people should not be looking at her debate style or her perky "hockey mom" personality.

They rightly should be afraid of her extreme beliefs, and her proclivity for lying, (just like the forked-tongued McCain), and the place she and McCain stand on the issues. Their policies are more of the same claptrap ideology that Bush has stuffed down our throats.

Sarah Palin has been proclaimed fervently by the Republican propaganda machine to be a “family values Christian.” A closer look makes us ask what kind of Christian is she?

The Bible contains strong appeals to honesty, urging me not to bear false witness (the 10 Commandments), to let one’s word be one’s calling card (Your “yes” be “yes,” your ”no” be no.”) But Sarah Palin has easily lied about her own record.

Her stump speech claims, it seems, have been shot down as lies on a daily basis:

• The state lost money on the sale of a government jet that wasn't sold on eBay. She had implied that this had worked as planned.
• She was in favor of the bridge to nowhere even though she said she wasn't.
• She was an ineffective small town mayor, even though she claimed that experience as proof of her ability to lead. One of her great policy pursuits was to attempt to take books she deemed “offensive” out of the town library. Perhaps McCain will make her “Censor in Chief” as Vice-President.

And, to be such a supposed patriot, it turns out she was not entirely forthcoming about the fact that her husband supported Alaska's secession from the United States, though he's no longer a member of the secessionist Alaskan Independence Party.

And her brand of Christianity is not of the usual mainline variety ascribed to by most of our presidents and vice-presidents of the past. Palin is just one level above the snake handlers (and she might even be doing that, for all we know). There is a widely viewed video of Palin being prayed over by a controversial minister and blessed to be protected from witchcraft. This is not your traditional American Christianity.

As Roy Bragg of the Express News commented, “While Americans love leaders who have strong religious beliefs, the notion of a world leader who believes in sorcery and magical spells might be a little much for the average person to tolerate. This gives ‘enchanting’ a new meaning, eh? On a positive note, if McCain wins, those official exorcisms at the White House will be a hoot.”

In all seriousness, Palin’s far, far right religious views call for a close inspection. She certainly is openly judgmental, so the tolerance and love Jesus talks about so much seems distant from her. The Golden Rule for her seems to have more to do with campaign fundraising and oil and gas, than in a truly Christian way of life.

Not only is she rabidly anti gay marriage and anti women’s choice, and she once tried to take books out of the Wasilla library, but her churches are part of a fanatical fringe movement of Christianity called “Dominionism,” with groups seeking to influence or control over secular civil government through political action — aiming either at a nation governed by a conservative Christian understanding of biblical law. Sounds like George W. Bush on religious steroids.

For a more detailed explanation of this frightening way of thinking, see author F. William Engdahl article: "Joel’s Army, Politics and Religion, Creating Strange Bedfellows." Engdahl writes that Palin is part of the "Joel's Army" movement, a cult like part of extreme right "Christianity".

He writes: "Joel’s Army believers are hard-core ‘dominionists,’ meaning they believe that America, along with the rest of the world, should be governed by conservative Christians and a conservative Christian interpretation of biblical law. There is no room in their doctrine for democracy or pluralism. To paraphrase George W. Bush, ‘You’re either with us or you are against us.’"

Engdahl states that Joel's Army members are recruited young and taught to believe they’re members of the final generation to come of age before the end of the world. Sarah Palin was twelve when she first came into these circles.
