1. Are you sure you don't mean end timers or dispensationalists?

?

2. Google Joel's Army.

:scared: It's the sort of end-timer crazy ass shit that most people if they read would think it was an artificially-created smear of Palin and her faith by partisans.

I''m guessing it's that.

Theocratic Sect Prays for Real Armageddon

By Casey Sanchez, Southern Poverty Law Center. Posted August 30, 2008.

Members of Joel's Army are fighting to bring about the millennial reign of Christ.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Todd Bentley has a long night ahead of him, resurrecting the dead, healing the blind, and exploding cancerous tumors. Since April 3, the 32-year-old, heavily tattooed, body-pierced, shaved-head Canadian preacher has been leading a continuous "supernatural healing revival" in central Florida. To contain the 10,000-plus crowds flocking from around the globe, Bentley has rented baseball stadiums, arenas and airport hangars at a cost of up to $15,000 a day. Many in attendance are church pastors themselves who believe Bentley to be a prophet and don't bat an eye when he tells them he's seen King David and spoken with the Apostle Paul in heaven. "He was looking very Jewish," Bentley notes.

Tattooed across his sternum are military dog tags that read "Joel's Army." They're evidence of Bentley's generalship in a rapidly growing apocalyptic movement that's gone largely unnoticed by watchdogs of the theocratic right. According to Bentley and a handful of other "hyper-charismatic" preachers advancing the same agenda, Joel's Army is prophesied to become an Armageddon-ready military force of young people with a divine mandate to physically impose Christian "dominion" on non-believers.

6. The Cheneys of the world are getting something they didn't bargain for

with Miss Moosylvania

If installed - he could never be elected in any truthful sense of the term - Grampy will never, ever, serve out his term. The Armageddonists will never again be so close to the Presidency, and they ain't gonna let old man Beermoney stand in their way.

Chimpy and Darth, evil as they are, are pragmatic survivors, like the old Soviet Politburo. They want to physically survive long enough to enjoy what they have stolen. Neither, again, as evil as they are, would torch the entire planet in a fit of religious insanity while there is so much more to steal. Palin is the product of a belief system, and her "church" is closely allied with, that thinks the Rupture and the Second Dumbing of Rambo Jeebus will be hastened if nuclear war breaks out. Worldwide holocaust is, in their tiny twisted minds, the BEST THING that could ever happen.

The Loot, Exploit and Steal wing of the Repigs has something more on its hands with Rapture Caribou Barbie than they have bargained for. The advancement of the profits of the kleptocracy is not first on the agenda of the Dominionists/Armageddonists. They have exactly the same lunatic mentality that motivates Wahhabist suicide bombers. These people WANT nuclear annihilation so that they will be raptured off to wherever mental defectives of this sort believe they will be raptured off to. The thieving plutocrats will be vaporized just as quickly as everyone else. Palin would push The Button without a second thought and probably dance with glee while issuing the orders.

If the M$M drags the putrefying corpse of the Repiglican Party across the finish line, I'm selling most of what I own and moving to somewhere like S. Korea, Japan or Vietnam to teach English. So help me.
