Palin’s Radical Pastor Calls on God to ‘Bless’ USA

Noooo.... say it isn't so.

Oops, lol, "it aint so". I mean someone from the Left started a topic. My left and right are opposite from everyone elses. So from now on, if I say right, I mean left...

Yes, it is. You just have got to love scrappleface.

I guess I've got some nerve, too. May God bless America!

AMEN! God bless America, or we are in trouble.

While it is not the first time someone has said 'God Bless America', it is the first time in awhile. It is not as common as it once was to the point of being unusally radical. Can we dare take the chance to vote for someone who obviously secretly desires to establish a theocracy in the USA? All kidding aside, I did see something where some blogger wondered out loud if Gov Palin might not harbor the notion of founding a theocracy! Purely made up out of thin air! There is nothing to it.

This is the thing. There is RARELY any substance to most of the angles people come up with. Regardless of it's accuracy or not, I find it intriguing that the fear of theocratic leanings is considered as such a threat? Surely there are far worse ideals that a Politician could have? Thanks for the best response too.

When I was a small child, churches had much more influence in the USA. They consequently tried to run everyone's life for them. As a result of that, people started rejecting the church. Very few people remember fondly the times when the church had more power in USA. American's distaste for theorcracy comes from the memories of when the church only had powerful influence in the government. God help us if the church should effectively become the government.

It makes me think the alliteration of the phrase President Palin has a nice sound to it.

If McCain wins, 2012 could be a real nightmare for the democrats...

Divine intervention is a possiblility. Let's pray while also encouraging people to vote McCain / Palin.

I love the way the MSM is jumping all over Palin's religious convictions. This is sure to boost McCain's lead.

To be fair, you are right that much is still unknown about Gov Palin. ABC is doing a major interview with her later this week. I'm going to try to watch it.

God will bless America, but we have to make an effort to do his will.

"Is this the same pastor who told his parishioners that if they were opposed to the Iraq War, if they voted for Kerry in 2004 or if they ever spoke out against George W. Bush they'd go to he11?" I can't say for sure about the pastor in the above quote, because I don't know for sure. Did you read about him at the same site I linked to? I ask because scrappleface is famous for its satire. The story about Gov. Palin's pastor asking God to bless the USA is satire contrasting the pro American attitude of everything to do with Gov. Palin to the latent anti Americanism of Obama. In all the responses above the writers have made at least some attempt at humor. "Also, out of curiosity, if that were true would that bother you?" Yes and no. Yes: We have freedom of religion. People are free to go to such a church if they like. No: I would not go near such a church. Any such pastor is a manipulative liar to threaten hell for a particular political opinion.

OOPS! Yes & No are reversed. Sorry about that.

No problem, I didn't even notice they were switched, I knew what you meant anyway. I'm going to have to look for the link where I read that about the pastor who said we'd go to he11 if we voted for Kerry, etc. I'm so glad to learn I'll be with all my friends and family after I die! Annie

Doesn't sound like any big deal. Thanks for the info.
