"Among other things, she encouraged the group of young church leaders to pray that 'God’s will' be done in bringing about the construction of a big pipeline in the state, and suggested her work as governor would be hampered 'if the people of Alaska’s heart isn’t right with God.'
I am trying really hard not to go absolutely mad with this Palin stuff, but quotes like the above make it increasingly hard. Apparently the GOP got the memo that the only way they were ever going to be able to get rid of Roe Vs. Wade was if a hardcore right-wing warrior woman did it. The Master's Tools might never dismantle the Master's house, but they sure as fuck will tear down everyone else's. Speaking of Palin and "choices"....
You can read the rest of the article here. Just warning you, it's called "In Palin’s Life and Politics, Goal to Follow God’s Will."
Ugh. UGH. UGH.
I am losing the ability to clearly discuss what I think is wrong with all of this. Which means I'm essentially like the entire Democratic party, and now exemplify how they've managed to suck at everything, but primarily life, and um, politics.

They missed the memo that freedom to believe what religion they wish, and practice it, does not mean they have the right to impose their beliefs on others.
The underlying problem is that most people who believe this strongly in religion are equally convinced that they know the truth of the matter and that all of the other religions are wrong, not to mention those that don't believe in any religion.
Regardless of which "ism" comes up, looking at the world in black and white is a bad road to follow. Even deigning to acknowledge a few colors doesn't really show one the full spectrum of the world.
I'm hoping the general public is smarter than that ticket is hoping they are. If they're not, I'm really wondering what islands of sanity will still exist.
