But she just keeps giving more gems to write about. Lest anyone think that a John McCain ticket would be without a theocrat, Palin confirms that she sees her job as Governor to “implement God’s will.” What exactly is the “will of God” to her? Well for one it involves a $30 billion natural gas pipeline in Alaska. For two, it involves the war in Iraq which she calls “a task that is from God.” Perhaps most disturbingly, she thinks her job as Governor is to ensure “the people of Alaska’s heart” is “right with God.” Thanks, but no thanks Palin. I’m content to decide for myself if I’m right with God, I don’t need the government to do it for me.

Funny, because you fully endorse and support Obama saying that he is “go(ing) out and do(ing) the Lord’s work”, as well as his endorsement of people who Democrats scream are “theocrats”.

First of all, I don’t care if Obama is “go[ing] out and do[ing] the Lord’s work.” I don’t care if Palin is. Further, I couldn’t possibly care less who either of them think are “role models of Christians who put their faith into action.” What I care about is when either one of them begin to think that is their job as a government official.
Secondly, I do NOT fully endorse and support Obama. I disagree with him on many things and have not shied away from calling him out on those things. I think between Obama and McCain, Obama will run the country better, so I will vote for him but (unlike the LCR crowd) I don’t try to weasel his flat-out wrong positions into something palatable, I call them like I see them. His willingness to permit off-chore drilling: WRONG. His intention to expand faith-based initiatives: WRONG. His opposition to same-sex marriage: WRONG.
So let’s see, first your comment is wrong on the notion that I fully support and endorse every thing about Obama. Second your comment is wrong because you tried to paint Obama as a theocrat and used examples that had nothing to do with government. It’s great to be a Christian. A Christian only becomes a theocrat when they begin to think it’s the government’s role to enforce their faith. Try to put together less flimsy of an argument next time.
