Palin appeals to the hearts of the mindless; and the minds of the heartless across “her” Amurika!

This does not require a set-up…and leaves me virtually speechless after viewing…

This is representative of the Palin followers in this country. What makes me nauseas as I watch it, is that we have done this to ourselves by NOT paying attention!

I was at a fundraiser in Seattle this weekend for the Military Religious Freedom Foundation with its founder, Mikey Weinstein. Times are tight everywhere for most of us right now so raising donation money is an extremely difficult task. I know, I have never raised more than $200.00 in one month. So like Mikey, I struggle. But we are not trying to fund start-up businesses…we are fighting a cause to out religious extremism in America and educate people as to how serious this truly is.

The right-wingers have a definite advantage. They spew out rhetoric and untruths without a single question levied against them demanding that they prepare a pro forma sheet justifying their effectiveness. That information is available, but when we are out there trying to engage people as to how serious this is the anectdotal information is what paints the picture. (Oh to have a sliver of that knee-jerk, “Yes! We will help!” mentality of the right).

Indoc Ctr Ahead We always shoot ourselves in the foot. Our own sense of intellectual prowess gets in our way and overrides the issues laid out in front of us. And I am not saying that the bar is all that high! Look at these wingnuts in this video…listen to them. We really don’t all have to be sporting PhDs in order to feel more informed than these folks.

BUT…they jump in there with a devotion that we do not enjoy on this side of the political argument. We have to fight the reisistance from within with as much energy as we have to fight the cause of averting religious extremism in our arts & entertainment, business, family, military/government, education, media and religion. Essentially all secular institutions in the United States – what they refer to as “reclaiming the 7 Mountains for Jesus Christ”.

If you think for a moment that we do not need your help…that we are not faced with a takeover of complete baffoonery at the hands of these extremists who are funded and supported by people who I am certain couldn’t tell you that we even have 3 branches of government, let alone what those branches are – you are mistaken.

We do…and we are trying to get people to understand, this is not about US. This is out of concern for our country, our families and our futures. We need all of you to own a piece of this battle along with us – not just for a day; or a week; or a month; but until we have safely scurried these zealots back into their corners from whence they came.

Our country is headed down a path where a fourth grade knowledge of civics and history is sufficient in deciding who is going to represent us. I was told this weekend about a teenage student who whined about the hassle of having to study American history saying, “Why do we have to learn about dead people?” A simple answer? History repeats itself! And man oh man do we have a profound case of amnesia in this country.

Any one remember George W. Bush? Now you tell me we can’t end up with a Palin…

I will close with this one minute and 39 second video that illustrates what could happen if we end up with our own religious ”suicide bomber” in the White House. SNL did the spoof…I did not laugh…but it did send a chill down my spine…
