I couldn't even get through the intro :puke:

9. Calling all moderate Republicans and independents!

Get a load of that!!

[sadbear]

10. Disturbing

[vanderBeth]

11. ..........

:scared:

[Marr]

12. Alaska's going to be a... "refuge state"...? Huh?

Do those nutballs think the "left behind" people are going to be heading their way or something?

[Fuzz]

18. Refuge state in the last days.

Was just going to post that.

Super

[jberryhill]

13. "She wants the destiny fulfilled for the State of Alaska"?

WTF?

I know their version of the "destiny" of everyplace else.

"What's going on in the State of Alaska?"... and "where you Master's Commission students are going"

The whole "I feel things are happening" routine is a set piece of these performances.

"ALASKA IS ONE OF THE REFUGE STATES OF THE LAST DAYS!"

These people need to be kept away from the nuclear arsenal of the United States of America.

Just skip to the last few minutes to be sufficiently freaked out.

15. Fanatical fundamentalists are too scary, too unpredictable

and most of all too wrong.

[Ezlivin]

17. Au Contraire!

Fundamentalists are very, very predictable. Speaking as an ex-fundamentalist I can say with confidence that nothing Sarah Palin said, for instance, in that video was the least bit surprising.

If you understand the mindset of the fundamentalist and where he/she gets their "marching orders" you can easily predict what they will do. They don't think for themselves but instead rely upon a fixed interpretation of scripture, typically by their leader (a pastor, generally). Fundamentalists are pretty uniform in their beliefs with the variations stemming from just how fundamental they wish to get. The Baptist church where I spent a lot of time permitted women to wear make-up, have short hair and gainful employment. I've been to so-called "Hard shell" Baptist churches that forbid all of the aforementioned and also engage in foot washing and anointing with oil. But on issues like abortion or gay rights they are all in rigid lockstep.

Sarah Palin is almost a dream come true. If she were Mike Huckabee then they'd really be happy.

[Fumesucker]

24. I agree with you.. Fundies are almost as predictable as gravity.. n/t

[TahitiNut]

32. Yup. Pre-Newtonian in a quantum universe.

Ignorance as a 'virtue' ... since it 'proves' their faith.

[LibDemAlways]

16. Her idea of the "natural resources" of Alaska includes

oil, natural gas, gold, oh and people. No mention of the beautiful forests, magnificent mountains, rivers, lakes, glaciers, and numerous animal species. This woman doesn't deserve to be governor of such an American treasure. She doesn't appreciate it, and is intent on destroying what makes it great.

[Faux pas]

19. Just another one of those killer's for Jee-sus. Lord help

us all.

[G_j]

20. Jesus "operated from that position of war mode."

these folks are mentally deranged, and very dangerous.

let's have another Crusade

[City Lights]

23. OMFG, I'm glad I didn't eat before watching.

:scared:

[TexasObserver]

25. Every Jew in America should see that video.

That will take care of Florida.

She's just your average, run of the mill, fundie nutjob.

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. This shit pisses me off!

:banghead: :argh:

[Stinky The Clown]

28. A refuge state for the end of times ......

...... that's some sick shit. No wonder the religious extremists love her. That's like a madrassa. In fact, can **anyone** tell me why it isn't exactly the same thing as a madrassa?

[knitter4democracy]

29. Code, code, and more Christian code.

Man, I don't miss that crap.

I've always wondered if those in power in churches like that actually believe any of it or if they're just used to the vocabulary.

[0rganism]

31. read Bob Altemeyer's "The Authoritarians"

online in its entirety:

His research will chill you to the bone and answer your question.

30. The Republicans made churches fair game.

Wright has run it's course, now it's Palin's turn.

[and-justice-for-all]

33. Insanity...

She makes the Iraq invasion and occupation sound like a gift from gawd. utter madness.

I love this comment: "Palin & Ahmadinejad: A match made in HELL!"
