| The Horror: Al Graudian Learns That Palin Sought Divine Guidance |
| 2011-06-12 |
| The Guardian's Sarah Palin ought advice from an unusual source when she was deliberating over how to frame the Alaskan state budget in 2008 -- she called on God for guidance, And all right-thinking people know that you're supposed to call on Paul Krugman for guidance instead. Even though you know what that guidance is going to be. Praying to God is 'unusual'. Tells you their mindset right there. In an email written in March 2008 she said that she had been praying for direction over the financial negotiations. "I have been praying for wisdom on this ... God will have to show me what to do on the people's budget because I don't yet know the right path ... He will show me though." Given the current condition of our state and federal budgets, we can only hope her confidence is justified. The former Alaskan governor's deep religious beliefs are well known. She is an evangelical Christian who belongs to the Assembly of God in her home town of Wasilla, The Guardianistas love to mention Wasilla. Since none of them know a thing about it, they can project their peculiar fantasies of America on to it. a church whose congregants have been known to speak in tongues. Right, and they probably all say "God damn America!" Or am I thinking of the wrong church? But rarely has such a direct connection been drawn between her faith and her policymaking. But Ben does it too. The email is all the more poignant Note to self: buy these chuckleheads a dictionary in that it was sent from Palin's private yahoo account just five months before she was thrown into the national and international limelight. Chill out, Guardian guys. She is not currently the President. |

| #9 If you don't believe in God you don't belong in the Clergy. At any level. In any religion. |

| #7 "But the majority of the U.K. is still God-Botherers*. *I'm not." Neither, apparently, is your Archbishop of Canterbury, BP. :-( |

| #6 Now you might not think it from Grauniad/BBC axis. But the majority of the U.K. is still God-Botherers*. So this will just make the Grauniad seem even more out-of-touch. * I'm not. |

| #4 Where are obama's e-mails? The same place his real birth certificate, college papers, grades & every other bit of his writings & documentation incompatible with his messianic status - in some place the sun will never shine. |

| #2 Of course no mention of someone's 20-years of sucking at the spiritial teat of Reverend 'God Damn America' Wright. |

| #1 Note that nothing like this has ever been released about BO's past correspondence, since everything Obama has ever said or done is always & everywhere perfect & beyond criticism. Every act past, present & future by his opponents is totally wrongheaded if not racist. |
