OK, I am not one to go after someones religion, but when it effects my Country and it's well being . George W. Bush once said "I believe God wants people to be free, and that's how I make some of my foreign policy decisions". Barack Obama's "mentor" and longtime Pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright became a cable news and right-wing blog sensation in a matter of minutes when he said "God Bless America? No, Goddamn America!". Now it is being revealed, that VP candidate Sarah Palin subscribes to some of the same nutty teachings.
It is now coming out that Sarah Palin's Church, as well as herself profess a number of controversial topics "through God". It is a given that much of our Country has a deep faith, and it is a given to "pray" for our troops in harms way, and the sick and elderly, but an "oil pipeline" ? "That God has a plan for Alaska come rapture" This video was made by the Master's Commission . Now it is being questioned by the right that this scrutiny is not "fair game", I say it is. The Constitution explicitly says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of Religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". All of the candidates, throughout the primaries, until the current homestretch have been questioned on Faith. All defended their positions, and love of God, however none of them said "my Faith is personal". If your Faith is interfering with your ability to Govern, then it is important for the American people to know who/what is directing your actions ie; George Bush,God and Iraq. This is fair game, the rapture right is not going to like it, but journalists and bloggers are going to play by their rules after the Rev. Wright nonsense.
