Our theocracy nightmare: President Palin’s martial law (Here's their real fear - she's effective)
Salon ^ | June 29, 2013 | Frederic C. Rich

What if McCain/Palin won, then McCain died -- and a terror attack followed. Apocalyptic fiction from a nightmare

It is obvious in retrospect that only an external attack like that on 7/22 could have saved the Palin presidency. Without it, would any of what followed have happened? I doubt it. The Democrats would have recaptured both the White House and Senate that fall. The culture wars would have simmered on, but the evangelical movement’s momentum on the path toward political power would have been lost. I would be installed in my corner office downtown, practicing law. I would probably have children with Emilie. I might be having dinner with Sanjay tonight instead of sitting here with people I really don’t know, trying to remember and record all that happened since then.

But 7/22 did happen. It was truly horrible, and the American people were understandably scared and angry. 7/22 opened a door, and Sarah Palin walked through it.

On July 24, 2012, President Palin, for only the second time in the history of the republic, declared martial law over the entire country. Instead of appearing alone in a televised address from the formality of the Oval Office, she addressed the nation from the situation room in the basement of the White House flanked by all the Joint Chiefs of staff, with Vice President Sam Brownback and top consultant Steve Jordan the only civilians present. Her speech was direct and forceful. After 9/11, she said, our enemies had counted on our weaknesses. They knew of our preoccupation with rights, laws, and political correctness of every sort.....

As if a Joe Biden presiduncey would offer any winning moments. What libtards.

The part that really scares me about the phrase "President Biden" isn't him in the oval office, it's that he is so daft he would doubtless think that having Hillary Clinton as a VP is a great idea!

Given that FR seems to be broken again, I'd say yes...

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

‘Crazy. But that’s what Salon is so this sort of nonsense is expected.’

Ya got that right. The people who ran Mad Magazine had more journo cred than the low life scum that currently occupy the offices of the Salon Slime.

That picture of Joe Biden reminds me that Tammany Hall is alive and well and living among us.

“Salon” is a code word for “gay bathhouse”.

I’d be laughing a lot harder if it weren’t for the liberals’ nasty habit of accusing others of what they’re about to do.

It’s in reply to post #72.

Follow the chain back and it should be clear.

I wish I understood their ridiculous fear of “fundies” and “theocracy”.

To hell with it. They can't be reasoned with, so just go around them. Treat them like the overgrown children that they are. Just pat them on the head and send them on their way.
