Palin on the Bullshit

TinyURL'd

As proud a Chrisian I am, I am a horrible one.  I tend to break, on average, 2 commandments before each meal.  I say this in an attempt to shake off the vibe that I think I am, as is a stereotypical judgement of Christians, better than anyone in the world.

The one thing, however, I think I do properly is take offense when someone refers to my faith derogitorily, or tries to insult it.  Lately,, these offences have originated inside my ‘religion’.

Sarah Palin is not the culprit, in this case, but she is indirectly related to my problem.

James Dobson went from not supporting John McCain to becoming an enthusiastic cheerleader for the Republican presidential ticket in six short months.

David, M. (2008). Palin no strangers to Focus on the Family.  Retrieved September 5, 2008, from Rocky Mountain News.  Web site: http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/sep/02/palin-no-stranger-focus-family/

My problem?  It is how, an otherwise terribly inexperienced woman - her political career is being mayor of a small city, Wasilla, (just over 5,000 residents) to the 12th governor of Alaska for… less than 2 years.  But alas, in McCain’s otherwise horrendous campaign that was more against Obama than for himself, and his inability to pronounce letters other than P, O and W, this may be the first smart thing McCain has done since the one time he met her before election.

Smart however, only in the race to the November election.  And even still, not all American’s are dirt-retarded as McCain is, or thinks they are.  But my issue is not with the American populace in itself, but in the Christian organizations that have been, until Palin’s VPenis, entirely against the Republicans.

James Dobson, the head of Focus on the Family has been flip-flopping around this topic for a while.  McCain is more a fan of Bush than Samantha Ronson, “…and I am particularly talking about the war on terror, the war on Iraq…” (@ 0:36).

What is the difference between September 2, 2008 and Dobson’s quote here?

“War affects families most of all,” Dr. Dobson noted, “and it would be irresponsible for Focus on the Family and other evangelical organizations to ignore that suffering. The Iraq War has been devastating not only to American families, but to Iraqi families as well.”

The pregnancy of Sarah Palin’s 17 year old daughter, Bristol was released only 4 days after her assignment as McCain’s VP.  How can this woman not know she is a damn gimmick?  These two dates are far too close to not be related.

So, according to Dr. James Dobson, abortion is a more important issue than the war in Iraq.  Personally, I disagree with it, and I would respect his opinion on either side, but I take insult to such a flip-flop in opinions.  They have far too much influence on other Religious folks voting stance for them to take this so lightly.

But don’t worry Sarah, I don’t know what a VP does either.
