Re: [Marxism] Is Sarah Palin a "nut-case" ?

[David Thorstad <binesi@xxxxxxxxx>]

1. As I've been saying, having grown up in the same nutty Assemblies of 
God church Palin did, she definitely is a screwball nutcase. So is her 
entire religious outfit. If she is a Dominionist (they want the Bible to 
be the law of the land, and all violators, including homosexuals, 
executed), then a vote for Obama could, I suppose, be seen as a "vote 
against Christian fascism." Not good enough for me, though, since a vote 
for Obama is a vote for more war and imperialist skullduggery and 
screwing of the masses.
2. I wrote Palin a week ago asking her to confirm whether she is a 
premillennialist or a postmillennialist. No answer yet, and I'm hardly 
holding my breath. If she is a Dominionist, that would make her a 
postmillennialist, since they believe the world needs to be purified 
before Christ can stage his second coming. (Premillennialists--the 
official AofG position--believe the second coming comes first, and at 
any moment, maybe more than once, and purification later, after the 
Millennium reign of Christ on earth.) That's enough kooky theology to 
know that Palin is a screwball. If she shares these views, as she 
apparently does, then her views border on mental illness, and are no 
more palatable than those of the most fanatical Muslims.
