One of my previous articles pointed out the obvious polarization of the political candidates in this year's U.S. presidential race. After posting this bit of information, I came across a recent blog post by a South Dakota moderate political blog writer who notes the following disturbing information, denoting my point about the obvious polarized factions in this year's election. Essentially, if these quotes by Sarah Palin aren't politically far right-wing, I'm not really sure what would qualify as such.
QUOTING: Any self respecting secular humanist, or anyone that thinks that Sunday sermons don’t belong determining Monday’s legislation for that matter, has to be a bit worried over some of the things that GOP nominee Sarah Palin has said in the past.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told ministry students at her former church that the United States sent troops to fight in the Iraq war on a “task that is from God.”
Isn’t that similar to what Al Qaeda says each time they try to blow us up?
And what is this all about?
Palin told graduating students of the church’s School of Ministry, “What I need to do is strike a deal with you guys.” As they preached the love of Jesus throughout Alaska, she said, she’d work to implement God’s will from the governor’s office, including creating jobs by building a pipeline to bring North Slope natural gas to North American markets.
So God is an oilman? Implementing God’s will from the Governor’s office?
I don’t do this often here, but at this very moment I myself am praying. I am praying that if somehow 72 year old John McCain wins in November, he leads a wonderfully healthy next 4 plus years so that Sarah Palin can fade into Dan Quayle like obscurity.
