My mind has been made up. I’ve decided who I’m going to vote for in the presidential race. Obama. The deciding factor? Sarah Palin.
When I hear this from Palin…
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 [Soldiers] out on a task that is from God. That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.
…and this…
I can do my part in doing things like working really, really hard to get a natural gas pipeline, a $30 billion dollar project that’s going to create a lot of jobs for people in Alaska, and we’re going to have a lot of energy flowing through here — and 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.
…and…
But really, all that stuff doesn’t do any good if the people of Alaska’s heart isn’t right with God.
…it sickens and enrages me at the same time.
I’ve had way too much of leaders basing their views and policies on religion rather than logic and common sense. The views expressed by Palin and Bush about Iraq aren’t even a step away from a “Holy War” or a “Jihad.” That’s what they’re actually claiming that the war IS. I’m sure they’d claim that there’s a difference, but based on what they’re saying, there isn’t.
Having religious beliefs is one thing. Foisting those beliefs upon a country you lead is hugely different. Creating national policies based on your religious beliefs is hugely different. Leading a country into a war based on your religious beliefs is hugely different.
Enough is enough. I’ve had more than enough.
