Palin: Iraq war 'a task that is from God'

[alienlovechild 75]

It's customary to post a source link or you can just make it up.

Whatever the religious angle, the Republicans have two candidates with sons in the military and the Democrats don't have any but they are quick to run from Iraq to send others' sons and daughters off to Afghanistan (or perhaps Pakistan).

When do we start hearing the cries of "chickenhawk" on the Internet applied to Obama like we did for Bush?

Yeah I'm really sure he made up the article himself

I didn't say Charles was stupid. I said people that think like him are stupid. That's NOT the same thing!

you might wish to reread what you posted.....

you really see the universe like a cartoon villain vs. a superhero, don't you? it's still difficult for me to believe people of such stupidity are born in the 21st century. Of course, it all makes sense, as you and other religious nuts (of all stripes) want us all to return to the Dark Ages.

The 'religious' angle is very important if that's how a person arrives at a decision. Saying "it is the will of god' rather relieves one of the responsibility of critical thinking.

That does seem to be the thinking - though how many people actually take that at face value isn't clear (clearly some must - or they wouldn't do it). Personally I think its a tad insulting to people's intelligence to palm off your executive decisions (warts and all) as something God has told you to do.

We're buried in debt because of the Iraq war - but that's OK because "God told me to do it", and like <<insert name of religious figure>> we must persevere through our hardships.

Thanks for the link.

I don't know. Obama's kinda scary with all his religious references.

"Lord – Protect my family and me," reads the note published in the Maariv daily. "Forgive me my sins, and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will."

"The junior Illinois senator stood in the pulpit of a Pentecostal church Sunday to challenge the partisan religious perception by telling some 4,000 worshippers that faith “plays every role” in his life."

"When people work together, there is “nothing that can stop us because that’s God’s intention.” the senator exhorted."

"Obama is currently ranked as the Democratic Candidate that invokes religion the most, according to religious Web site Beliefnet.com’s “God-o-Meter” – which measures “God talk” in the presidential campaign."

Obama is almost a theocrat by Democratic standards with an 8 out of 10 score. McCain's is a 9 now. Gotta get those Christian voters somehow.

Strangely Obama doing it doesn't make it any less objectionable.

I said you were a religious nut; I didn't say you were stupid. I said people LIKE YOU are stupid and that religious nuts are stupid.

If people like me are stupid, but I am not stupid, then I must not be like people like me.

People like you have sex with farm animals.

Hey, well, the 9/11 bombing was from Allah, apparently. So God is basically battling multiple personalities, I guess, and belongs in a mental institution. Funny how people seem to rationalize #### with "God" and suddenly it's okay.

With proper medication and weekly visits from a case manager, I'd advocate for God to be allowed out in the community.
