Rod Dreher has a crush on Sarah Palin.

Well, she is good looking.

"For people who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like."

[the anti-mahdi]

I guess it is over. A “Christian” ashamed of being “conservative” if Sarah Palin is a Christian conservative.

God help us. I wonder if this is a pro-choice “conservative”.

Praise God and pass the armageddon.

Speaking of sacrilegious!

[Telepathic Intruder]

"In our attempts to dehumanize our enemy we end up becoming less than human ourselves"

She's was talking about terrorists. Terrorists. Maybe we've forgotten what terrorists are. They're not just our enemy, they are evil incarnate. They random kill innocent people like they're cattle. And instead Sarah Palin makes a joke and she's worse? We've lost our way I think.

[Tenacious 1]

OK, stop. Not only is this woman, putatively a Christian, praising torture, but she is comparing it to a holy sacrament of the Christian faith.

I guess the entire root of his disgust is that he believes water boarding is on the same level as hanging people by their elbows while electrocuting their genitals, breaking their toes and whipping them with hoses. This author is likely also frustrated with the HVAC accommodations for prisoners at Gitmo.

He is to object of Palin's frustration and the truth hurts.

Is Rod Dreher a man? His writing makes him sound like a a typical feminazi with severe pms.

Flame Retardant ... since 4-18-2014

Sniff ...

[don-o]

I agree with Dreher. The are plenty of ways to make a point. Co opting a Sacrament (or symbol) of the Christian faith is uncalled for.

[Dr. Thorne]

Frankly, who cares what this movie reviewer has to say? His political writings are as important to me as those of sports writer Mike Lupica.

[McGruff]

But I thought she was irrelevant?

[Will88]

Is this spiel a joke, or some sort of satire? It sounds like the writing of an emotionally disturbed person.

[exPBRrat]

I think she’s among the most honest and forthright reps in the public eye today. She’s the sole voice that understands what’s at stake for Western civ v. Islam. I’d unequivocally trust her judgement and capabilities as President and to pick the best WH team since RR.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

The liberal sense of humor is apparently something we should all aspire to.

They (the left) are really afraid of Sarah Palin. They have recently stepped up their attacks on her like they know something we don't know. Keep throwing the punches Sarah. I love it.

[Vaquero]

I would vote for Palin in a heartbeat.

she will be the Churchill(Winston not Ward), Reagan, Thatcher of the 21st century if given half a chance.

Christians are quick to castigate others. None of us are perfect, daily most of us do something politically incorrect or just sins. Of course barbaric murders are abhorrent. This inmate deserved to die. How we do it tells about us not him. Christians are to show mercy, and execute justice mercifully. we do not want to become like the criminal. MOO

[Will88]

The word “baptism” has meaning other than the Christian meaning. Anyone ever heard the term “baptism by fire”, meaning someone is introduced into some reality by the most emphatic of experiences.

Baptism of a terrorist could be letting them know they are the worst sort of criminal and will not be treated with kid gloves. They are engaged in a war against our society and all the legal niceties should not apply.

[Just mythoughts]

So is this a ‘religious thread’ or a ‘political thread’? Got to know the environment before I can comment.
