What no BARF alert
Saturday evening barf bait?
Great minds think alike.
Communists cant get Palin out of their heads. They are so scared shitless that one day she will run and win that they are just scared to death. If Obama loses in November they know their progressive utopian society is dead
as stupid as this is, wouldnt it STIL be preferable to the morons in charge now?
Is there some other way these leftwingtard lapsed Catholics can tell us they've had abortions?
And why do they want us to know all about it.
So scared they have to paint us a warped world and constantly remind themselves how cool and enlightened they are.
Had the election gone differently- we would be well on the road to recovery, energy prices would be lower, the allies would not be circling their wagons in fear and the “Arab Spring” would have started with the overthrow of the Iranian government as the people there were ready.
IMHO.
Thank you.
“as stupid as this is, wouldnt it STIL be preferable to the morons in charge now?”
Then you accept all this tripe? Anyone claiming to support ‘women’s reproductive rights’ is too brain-dead to be analyzing politics.
Huh, indeed! McCain’s anything but “Evangelical” (ask Jerry Falwell & Pat Roberts), and one of Palin’s parents, not she, is the lapsed Catholic.
An Evangelical is ANY KIND OF PROTESTANT. It is not exclusively synonymous with Pentecostal or Fundy or Baptist, and you might want to check out the Time Magazine telephone interview where she, herself, asserts she was Baptised Catholic as a baby ~ http://onelacatholic.blogspot.com/2008/08/sarah-palin-was-baptized-catholic-as.html
Now, about McCain's religion, he was christened as a child in the Episcopal church ~ which may well mean he's not a real Christian ~ but that's a different sort of debate. What he hasn't done is undergo a form of "confirmation" (in Catholic parlance) so that he can be a member of that congregation.
He's still, according to virtually all Christian tradition, a Christian, and, philologically, an Evangelical! Still, he wouldn't have been allowed to rent a pew in George Washington's congregation until he underwent confirmation.
Can’t believe such a “smart” writer STILL hasn’t realized that Sarah Palin didn’t say she could see Russia from her house. Pathetic when a SNL satire is considered “canon”.
BTW, the writer is one of those generally uninformed about everything Leftwingtard lapsed Catholics who can't wait to shock us with the knowledge that she plays with herself and has had several abortions.
Some people need thorazine!
Not that it’s always (or even ever) correct, Wikipedia defines Evangelicalism: a Protestant Christian movement. It began in the 17th century and became an organized movement with the emergence around 1730 of the Methodists in England and the Pietists among Lutherans in Germany and Scandinavia. The movement became even more important—drawing far more members than in Europe—in the United States during the series of Great Awakenings of the 18th and 19th century. It continues to draw adherents globally in the 21st century, especially in the poor nations of the Third World.
It is a religious movement that de-emphasizes ritual and emphasizes the pietism of the individual, requiring him or her to meet certain active commitments, including:
The need for personal conversion (or being “born again”);
A high regard for biblical authority;
An emphasis on teachings that proclaim the saving death and resurrection of the Son of God, Jesus Christ;[1]
Actively expressing and sharing the gospel.
John McCain, I repeat, was/is not an Evangelical Christian.
And Sarah Palin, baptized a Catholic or not, never had the opportunity to “lapse.” (My sisters baptized our Jewish neighbors’ children, too; and they’re certainly not lapsed Catholics because they continued to practice Judaism.) Surely you don’t believe God is so vengeful and authoritarian as to hold children responsible for the acts of others.
Yes, I know Falwell’s dead.
Amen, amen, I say to thee: The stupid, it burneth.
Strangely enough. yes.

Huguenots who escaped to England were accepted into the Episcopal church without further baptism. Those who went to German states became Lutherans, Baptists, et al without question. They were accepted as Presbyterians in Scotland.
For obscure reasons many modern religious spokesmen imagine that Evangelical churches first arose in the Great Awakening in America, and not earlier.
The Religious Wars were over in France by 1598 ~ and the term was in widespread use then to mean Protestant.
Almost anyone could tell you that the Catholic church is not just another Protestant sect!
