"When Palin first hit the scene, they were showing McCain well ahead of Obama. Unfortunately, she then promptly opened her mouth, and the numbers dropped off faster than a lead balloon."
Now, now. It's not all her fault. The doddering old codger was on his way down anyway. Palin just gave him the push he needed. Unfortunately it pushed his numbers in the opposite direction they were hoping for...
"America, you see, is a Christian Nation in name only."
It's not even that. I've never heard anyone refer to the U.S. as a Christian nation except for a very small minority of religious nuts who wouldn't know real history if George Washington smacked them in the face himself.
"Most Americans are more interested in policy than prayer, more interested in the here than the hereafter."
Because most, despite what they claim on Sunday mornings, don't truly believe your bullshit. Somewhere, on some subconscious level, they realize that this life they're living at this moment is the only one they're absolutely sure they'll get.
"They don't know 5 of the 10 Commandments."
People really have a problem with "Thou shalt not bear false witness" for some reason. It particularly seems to trip them up when they discuss their religion in any context.
"They think it's fine to go to the store on Sunday, without realizing that even having the store OPEN is an affront to God!"
Yeah? Then how come Gawd doesn't do something? Why no earthquake? Why no smoldering piles of ash from those he's immolated on their way in? Why no booming voice from the sky demanding they be stoned to death in the parking lot?
"They think it's fine and dandy to let people worship strange gods!"
The schizophrenic, petty little monster you worship is the exception to that one, right?
"They're covetous . . . a huge part of the subprime mess was based on "keeping up with the Joneses"!"
Odd. I thought it was based on your elected officials not knowing what the fuck they're doing.
