Sarah Palin says US should rededicate itself to God

No he wasn't most of them were deist. :doh I'd rather not live in a theocracy, thanks!





:doh No she wants it to be a theocracy
Wow, you have absolutely no idea what a theocracy is, do you?

A theocracy is a form of government, "rededicating to god" is a cultural term for cultural issues. IF palin and huckabee are theocrats, then we have had theocrats in the whitehouse since John F Kennedy.
 
Uh no, brainchild...



It clearly is a statement encouraging individuals to plan advanced directives for themselves in the event that they cannot speak for themselves.
So how's that any different than Obama's legislation?

Yeah, but at least they weren't completely stupid theocrats who pardon rapists. :lol:

First of all, there hasn't been any "legislation" on Obama's part. That would not be under Obama's powers as part of the "executive" branch.

That being said, under the context of a healthcare package that would implement universal healthcare with a stated intent to save healthcare costs, there are a whole plethora of ethical problems with providers in that system to provide this kind of direction. The Alaskan awareness day, which wasn't even legislation but a proclamation encouraging better access to information on behalf of the individual to already existing legislation, in no way encourages government involvement in advanced directives.

Therein lies the HUGE difference between the two.
 
For all those who like to toss around the word theocracy, ecclesiocracy is the word you are looking for.

Theocracy = Theo Kratos - God rule
Ecclesiocracy = Ecclesia Kratos - Church rule

America has been a theocracy since the drafting of the DOI & likely long before that.

Declaration of Independence JULY 4 said:
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

God rules, the church doesn't.

Imagine, asking people to make decidsions about their own medical situations, including end of life scenarios, rather than waiting for some as yet undetermined bureacrat to do so. ;)

There is NO difference. The exact same thing she called health awareness whilst promoting it as governor, she named death panels in the health care legislation.


NO difference. Just Palin being Palin. :shrug:

You gotta step into a different world to understand Palin-speak.

God rules, the church doesn't.

The 1st Amendment is of Chirch from state, not of God from state :2wave:
 
She wants to get back to the fundamentals of God.
What are the fundamentals of God, boo dog?

how this nation was founded
This nation was founded by the People when they established the Constitution for the United States, bro. I don't see any reference in the document to the fundamentals of God.

a nation to rededicate itself to God?
Which God does she want the nation to rededicate itself to, boo dog?
 
I ask you to join with me in prayer
Using one's civil authority to influence our duties to the Creator is a trespass upon the jurisdiction of the Almighty, even in times of great national peril.

Roosevelt should have followed the example of President Andrew Jackson in 1832, when the Asian Scourge threatened to devastate the nation.



Total separation of church and state was considered the best safeguard for the health of each. As [President Andrew] Jackson explained, in refusing to name a fast day, he feared to "disturb the security which religion now enjoys in this country, in its complete separation from the political concerns of the General Government." (Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., American historian, The Age of Jackson, Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1945, p. 354. Schlesinger won the Pulitzer Prize for History for The Age of Jackson. Jackson's statement is from his letter to the General Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church, June 12, 1832, according to Schlesinger's footnote.

Actually, it's about religion.

Why do you call everyone 'boo dog', Whip?
 
Actually, it's about religion.

It's about the church holding municipal power and the state creating a municipal church.

It is not about religion per-se. It never was.
 
Therein lies one of the reasons the left is so afraid of Sarah Palin. She wants to get back to the fundamentals of God and how this nation was founded, something the progressive left wants nothing to do with.

Wants a nation to rededicate itself to God? Stop her now! She is dangerous!!!!!!!

The lefty's I know do not appear to be afraid of Palin. I know the righty's keep saying that but I'm not so sure. :confused:

They mostly find amusement in her as far as I can tell. Their posts seem to indicate that they are hopeful that she will actually be a conservative candidate in the future. How easy would that be?

I think Palin is kinda cute. Would I do her in an igloo? You betcha! ;)

But I have a hunch that it won't be very long before Palin has her Tiger Wood's moment in the sun. Don't know why, just a hunch. But as long as she stays in her current novelty role, perhaps she will be able to fly under the radar screen. Time will tell.

It is about state-sanctioned churches, but it's also about religion. Since it uses the word 'religion', it definitely covers religion and God.

Nope, not at all.

The people are free to be as religious as they please and pass "communal laws" as they wish.
 
Well she can start by selling her $150,000 designer outfits and using the money to buy food for the poor and needy, like Jesus would.

Or she could be a hypocrit, like you would do.

The First Amendment, just like the other Nine Amendments in the Bill of Rights, is a worthless piece of ambiguous crap, dude. It could be reasonably construed to mean just about anything.

I doubt I'll ever own as much in my lifetime that she paid for her clothing (which she wore to a ball game and gave a speech to her "fellow saltoftheearth
Americans".)
