COME ON! Seriously! This whackjob wants to be president!
So, let's get some caveats established for this conversation:· · Put aside her lies and fabrications on the stump (and from her office). · Dismiss the "God told me to" stuff (you believe what you believe and you shouldn't be judged by your religious beliefs if you can put them aside while in office for the greater good). · Put aside that she can't (and has promised she won't).
Even if you are someone who believes that God personally smites us poor schmucks with regularity and aforethought, this chick (and I use that word in this case with as much implied insult as possible) is advancing the idea that the Almighty Creator is currently running what amounts to an ecological Swift Boat campaign on her behalf.
Again, your beliefs are your own, but do you really want a President with a God on spiritual speed dial who is apparently pretty weak? I mean, there's some respect due for generating tectonic and/or meteorological activity at all, but let’s put these in perspective: 1. Earthquake: Not much to it, really, and it was 100(!)miles off target if DC was the intended target. Otherwise, repent, Mineral,Virginia! REPENT! 2. Hurricane Irene: Had all the hallmarks of true devastation, but it petered out near the end and became “just” a bad storm. What, He couldn’t keep the heat on? Had some other pressing Smitings to take care of?
So, it appears what she brings to the table is a “creative” grasp of facts and figures and the backing of an all powerful being who has undiagnosed ADD, a need for a good pair of bifocals and a political efficacy second to grumpy Viet Nam Vets.
Where’s the plague of frogs, the slaying of the firstborn, rivers of blood; real “Wrath of God” type stuff? THAT God is apparently still not taking a public political stance. Him help us if He does, but until then, can we just be adults? Even a little?
Maybe He'sactually trying to tell people like her to stop saying He's her friend. I'd be pissed to the point of smiting in a situation like that too.
