Truth to Power

By this single statement, she is unfit

During a speech at the Wasilla Assembly of God, John McInsane’s running mate Sarah Palin said the following:

“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.”

Game, set, match. If you think we’re fighting the Crusades again, then you have no place in American politics. And regardless if the masses shuffling up and down the Walmart aisles nod their heads until their cowbells clank in agreement with you, you do not – and should not- speak for this nation.

Get off the stage, you Harriet Miers of the north, and take your “God blesses our genocide” rhetoric with you.
