What is noteworthy, is the appeal of religious nutcases in the US, Palin is just the latest in a line of righteous god-fearers aspiring for top political positions. Not the right sort to rely upon to deal with an Islamic threat rationally.

Which is what exactly? Unconditionally cave-in?

Palin is entitled to her religious opinion just as any Muslim.

Of course, but that is not the issue. Would you defend their right to an opinion if a Muslim VP candidate expressed the belief that driving the US out of Iraq is Allah's will, or would you consider them not only unelectable, but unfit for office?

Not a good example, let me try again: There is a difference between holding a "religious opinion" and believing that god wills a certain action or policy.

If a Muslim were elected democratically -- reflected the will of the majority of the constituency. I would accept and support that civil servant just as I will Obama or McCain. On any level, local, state or federal.

Next question?

Jason...you completely lost it or what?

Not by then, anyway. I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory. I had discovered that it didn't make any difference whether you smoked reefer in the white classmate's sparkling new van, or in the dorm room of some brother you'd met down at the gym, or on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school and now spent most of their time looking for an excuse to brawl. ...You might just be bored, or alone. Everybody was welcome into the club of disaffection." -- Barack Obama

so if she is found guilty of the allegations, you think she should remain governor?

i'm practically certain you can't, but perhaps you'd like to explain how this quote is relevant to 1. this thread, 2. my post.

Boon Mee · 07-09-2008, 09:09 PM

^Just another prime example of the lack of character on BO's part vs Sarah Palin. Palin admits to smoking a couple 'left-handed Luckys' but does not revel in the fact as BO apparently does...

raycarey · 07-09-2008, 09:11 PM

so, the quote had nothing to do with this thread or my post. surprise, surprise. just another attempt to distract.

i also noticed that you dodged the question in my previous post regarding what should happen if palin is found guilty of the allegations against her.

par for the course with boon mee.

She ain't gonna be found guilty of anything other than being a great Conservative voice with a decidedly pro-western vibe to it!

BTW...heh...

The New York Times debunks that particular myth today in a look at Palin and the role religion plays in her life...heh

Thanks for the link, it actually confirms what I said. She is a fundamentalist nut.

raycarey · 07-09-2008, 09:36 PM

^there's no doubt.

once real americans start to hear what's gone on at her church (and the DNC and the 527's will make sure they do because of what happened earlier this year with obama's church) she will be defined as the religious nut she really is.

raycarey · 07-09-2008, 09:37 PM

boon mee continues to dodge a very simple question, and brit maverick can't provide a link.

just another night in US issues.

Newsmax.com - Obama Admits to Cocaine Use

Obama Cocaine use

LarrySinclair.org

Obama's gay sex scandal w/Larry Sinclair

Now do I believe Obama has had a gay sex scandal - No, but if this was McCain you swear it was gospel and deny all common sense Ray. This is the difference between sensible people and those that post with an agenda at all costs.
