The s**tstorm from the left reaches Gustavian proportions. From HuffPo:
Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord."Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."
Is it just me, or does this sound like Palin is praying that the mission will be aligned with God's will? Don't we all hope and pray that whatever this nation does, especially with its military, that it will be in accord with the will of God? There's a vast difference between praying that our actions are in accord with God's plan, and assuming that it is.
Go ahead, HuffPosters, keep taking this line. Keep positing things ordinary people believe as weird, sick and crazy. Last night Barack Obama, in a CNN interview, referred to Wasilla as "Wasilly." Maybe it was an accident. I think not. Apparently, the left can't help itself.

I am deeply concerned that Mrs Palin could be America's next Vice President. She talks about the war in Iraq as being Gods will, didn't the crazy extremist muslims in Bin Laden's crew say that the attacks on the Twin Towers was Gods will. This kind of talk is just insane, and whats really scary is that somebody who belives this crap could be second in command.
What's really frustrating is that Obama hasn't hammered her over these kind of comments. He needs to take the gloves off or he is going to lose.
If McCain dies while in office and Sarah is our president? Thats a very scary thought to me.
Googling "sarah palin is nice" gets 22 hits worlwide (incredible, ha ha!), whereas googling "sarah palin is scary" gets 41,800. Now that's what i call democracy!

The fact is that many, many people, including our founding father believe and believed that there should be a distinct separation of church and state. There are very good historical reasons for this. I honestly dont believe that anyone is trying to mock any ones elses beliefs. Its just kinda scary to think we are "crusading" in the 21st century. Any Christian who thinks a crusade is or ever was gods will should reevaluate the teachings of jesus. Im pretty sure he wasnt down with any wars including the nightmare in iraq.
How will she know if it is/isn't God's will? What if her ideas aren't in God's plans? What if God were against her?
She sounds just like the fanatic wahabbi followers. Just substitute 'God's plan' with 'God-willing,' and you pretty much have a lot of the same speeches. Combined with her and her husband's support of the Alaska seccesionist party she seems like she wants to make Alaska the new American version of Saudi Arabia!
I am very afraid that she is hoping that 'god-willing' her party will win the election, and she can begin to turn our great country (built on a separation of church and state) into a Christian version of Sharia Law, and because of her need to include God in her speeches, begin the first Crusades the Earth has seen since the 1200's.
