wtf is up with fox news?

god is the constitution.

Sara Pallin is the typical American politician and has all of the first class qualities, Incompetence, Ignorant, Liar, Greed, Avarice, selfish, corruptable and above all has a price for purchasing her body and soul.

Wow! you'd think that somebody running for president would have at least glanced at the constitution and perhaps just maybe have noticed the FIRST amendment… and one would think that someone with any sort of qualifications for leadership might think that perhaps not everyone believes in the same mythology you do… not to mention that if she’s ignorant of the constitution then she's obviously not familiar with something called the “Treaty of Tripoli” let alone Article 11 of said treaty “as the government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion…”

christians are so delusional it's revolting!

Religion needs to be kept in the privacy of people's homes. It ruins too many things. And I don't think she really believes this, if she actually knew what was in The Bible I'm sure she would think twice. Also, the 10 Commandments are from the Torah, does she want the US based on Jewish Law?
Poor girl is just fame hungry.

uhmm sarah what happened to freedom of religion, our country only follows the rules that maximizing profit. leave god back and palm readings back to the time they came from

Doesn't that go exactly against what this country was founded on, freedom of religion? I really can't believe Sarah Palin is still around....her star should of fizzled out a long time ago!

It is commerce that drives the hysteria and alledged political correctness and undermines America's foundation of faith. America's judeo christian roots and it's constitution must be suppressed in order to create the lawlessness and immorality that drives the profits of hedonism. The media is the leader of the anti American pack.

So everyones a Christian now? I guess thats her perfect world view.

Does that mean we can stone them?

does anyone take Fox News seriously anymore? I mean anyone with a college degree. every time i turn on that news channel I think I'm watching a movie. There's no discussion here call me when you want to talk about something, my number is 1-800-get over urself.

GoodGodGuy,
I have no problem with a difference in "opinion." Here, however, we have run up against the most dangerous force in the history of the world. Note: I am NOT about to say something hyperbolic; I'm making a factual statement. The real issue here is not opinion but CERTAINTY. Hey, when God is on your side, a conscience is just something for those who God will henceforth smote. In the meantime, "Let's smite ourselves some of them evil doers."

Yes, Bush told the leaders of The Arab League, at a meeting in Aman, Jordan that, "God told him to take out the Taliban. So, I took out the Taliban. Then he told me to liberate the people of Iraq. So, I liberated Iraq." I am paraphrasing here, but it is very close. This quote was part of a not in Kevin Phillips fucking scary book, American Theocracy. I have recently moved and have hundreds of books still in boxes, but I will find the direct quote, if there is one who would play the role of Thomas. The holes in the man's head were real for sure, and you could stick your finger in one ear and out the other.

Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor - over each other.

I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature.

As Soon As She Opens Her Trap SHIT COMES OUT ! ( i think i am going to throw up ) ! Hey Sarah SHUT DA FUC UP WILL YA & JUST GO AWAY !

damn crazy bitch keeps getting more publicity to spread her backwards, poisonous opinions.

sarah sarah

why are we still talking about her...recall the product which is Palin!

This is a person that thought that Africa is a country two years ago.

Does what she spew out of her face really matter? or are the Cons stupid enough to think she knows what she's talking about?

I don't know what more ridiculous, her in general, or the things that come out of her mouth. It's not usually something I do, comment on one's personality, however exceptions prove the rule. Having said that, since no one among us were there at the drafting of the Constitution, then none of us can pretend to know what the Framers envisioned other than what we have now. Although there is a provision for wanting to change the Constitution, they are called AMENDMENTS. For someone who is such an authority on how the country should be run, perhaps she should engage herself in actually doing something, instead of spouting off useless, devisive, idiotic and most of all Un-American of actions.~Darth-Blaze

I hope she runs for president. She has just enough popularity among the right to win the republican ticket, but would never in a thousand years win the race.

Who knew that Sarah was Jewish? Indeed, the 10 Commandments were, after all promulgated for the Hebrew race. Also, the only "God" of the Bible is he of the Old Testament. Jesus doesn't ever claim to be the son of God; rather, his claim is to be the "son of man." Certainly, he was not called God in the Bible.

Sarah, STFU!

Every new and successful example, therefore, of a perfect separation between the ecclesiastical and civil matters, is of importance; and I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity the less they are mixed together (James Madison in a letter to Edward Livingston, July 10, 1822).

It should be noted that this debate has been going on since, and went on during, the writing of the Constitution. The lack of reference to God was noted and arguments were made in support and against the omission in state legislatures. The final decision was to leave religion out of the document. An attempt was made again in the 1860s to add mention of God to the Constitution. Once again the attempt failed.

I would like to say that I reject both the argument that the founding fathers were "almost all" or "mostly" deists. There certainly were deists among them as there were devout Christians, those who considered themselves Christian but were not particularly religious, and, if we could peer into their minds, I'm sure others. However, Christianity was certainly the predominant religion. However, 30 minutes of reading on religion in the Americas at the time will make it clear that Catholics, Methodists, Baptists, etc. hardly viewed themselves as of one cloth. The open disputes, codified in many state and local laws, were part of the motivation for the separation we were fortunate enough to inherit. Above and beyond this, the writers were all very familiar with the seemingly endless conflicts fought in Europe in the name of sanctified rule.

If we ever accepted the idea of our laws being based on God's laws the next debate would be, "which God?" Would it be the God of the Episcopalians, the Presbyterians, the Baptists? How about the Muslims, the Jews? Those of us who aren't religious appreciate that there seem to have been those present at the writing of the Constitution who at least questioned the validity of theocracy. I fear we rarely appreciate that there were men of faith who sought the same end to protect their religion.

It's a good thing for seperation of church and state and also the fact that Sarah Palin does a fine job of completely destroying her own point when she tries to defend herself. I honestly think she doesn't get why she sounds so ridiculous, i don't know maybe it's because not everyone in America is Christian and doesn't want to be seen as such. (Haven't we learned from history that church run states and church run legislatures don't really work.).... Idk that woman irritates me but she will diffuse again as always.

apparently, our government isn't working, but bringing religion into it more isnt going to help us any.

We can all thank that sellout JOhn MCcAIn for doing this to us!

you rock that Jersey girl hair Sarah, because that's about all you have going for you.

Palin The Ignorant had better start keeping a kosher household, in order to not BREAK THE LAWS OF THE BIBLE.

Dear Sarah Palin, not everyone is Christian. I am, but I know that I am only one view out of many. The ALL American people deserve to be represented...not just your views.
I wonder if it would surprise you to know that some of our founding fathers, some who signed the constitution, were no Christians. Some were Deist. ...and I believe there was even one atheist.

What you're proposing is for us to have our laws based on religion. Which violates separation of Church and State. Also, it would bring us closer to the form of government they practice in Iran.
It's the precursor to religious extremism, which is what we're fighting now.
How would you feel if the country were based on another religion, and their religious base laws kept you from holding certain covenants with your God?

You need something called empathy...and common sense. Like Obama has.

wow, nearly 600 comments, go Sarah Palin's broken logic?

Animals in the wild need no supervision, a bird of prey and a goat understand what is necessary for them to survive. In a zoo helpless animals depend on their keepers, without them they would starve to death. Peace and order is needed for the US to survive as a nation, rioting by discontents must be avoided. Uncle Sam is needed as a zoo keeper, his job is to make sure that all the animals are properly fed, peace and order must be maintained at all costs.

She is SO whacked. In her next breath she'll go on to say how screwed up all those middle east countries are because they're run by religious fanatics. Put yourself in their shoes & explain how her arguments are any less offensive, if not threatening? I suppose we should next plow under our cities, that we go back to our agrarian 'roots'. ;-)

As the days pass she reminds me of Tammy Faye Bakker. Send those checks to please God.

"What in hell scares people about talking about America's foundation of faith?"

Sarah, what scares people is that it will cost society its productivity. To begin with the founding fathers may have recognized God, but did not designate Scripture, especially through government. Having a foundation based on order (instead of morality) allowed a stable foundation for faiths to blossom in America. It gave people the freedom to choose religion while thriving economically in peace across religion.

Liberal Christians, liberal Jews, liberal Muslims, and humanists are the people who reach across barriers to promote economic and peaceful prosperity. Religious barriers cause people to invest more money in weapons than books, wasting human productivity, diversity and creativity. People living together in peace in spite of differences will always work more effectively than people who are forced to lived by a specific creed. Nations that must enforce religion as law have never been able to sustain leadership worldwide as liberal nations have. Even when it comes to the manufacture of defense weapons leadership depends on education and new technologies.

What scares people is that this new leadership which you propose, Sarah, will destroy the fundamental liberal structure of the society the true founding fathers have carefully crafted.

Sarah Palin also seems to miss the fact she is arguing the points made by the pre-revolutionary Calvinists - NOT the points made by the enlightenment thinkers who are the ones who both incited the revolution, won independence and established the nation and constitution we currently enjoy.

The Calvinist thinking she champions - i.e., a nation of one homogeneous religion where the rights of the individual are secondary to that of the church and of the state - lost BEFORE the revolution to the champions of a secular nation with separation of church and state where the individual has primacy over the powers of both.

I think one of the biggest slices of irony is that Sarah Palin, her followers, and the Tea Party people who worship and idolize the Founding Fathers are exactly the kind of people the Founding Fathers were worried if not terrified about dominating the country which is why they put in place the Electoral College and strongly supported the principle of separation of church and state.

What about the whole seperation of church & state? I guess that had nothing to do with our founding fathers.
"Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law."
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814

I'm certain that building a nation on principles much less enlightened than those of the enlightenment at that root of the values written into our Constitution is a step backwards, not progress. It's rather ironic that Palin argues for a nation based on Christian doctrine when it is, in fact, the values from the Age of Enlightenment at the root of American "freedom of religion".

In Christianity, there is no freedom of religion. There is only Christianity ... or else.

What a doofus Sarah Palin is..... Yeah, let's base the USA on the Bible, just like Iran is based on the Quran. Then we can see what happens! Maybe we can even go to war together and see who wins!!

Gee, I hope the right God is on our side!!~!~!

i strongly believe that anybody should just look at Muslim nations to see how law by way of religion works for people. sure we don't have anything that would influence such control like the Quran, but with government changes like that who knows what kind of "freedom" will be dictated by the book (Bible).

does she think that this could truly work for this country? Immigrants, culture, and free-thinkers make up this place, or has she forgotten that there are Muslims in this country who enjoy the right to do what they want a little bit different than in their native lands?

she needs to be banished for her stupidity...on an island far away, where her and her family should stay...maybe they'll talk via satellite someday when FOX goes after her for an opinion, but they'll remain useless.

and you right-wing idiots here, why don't you call on her to be a leader for the island where y'all are gonna flock to worship her...just go and establish a fucked up little land of tropical, robotic conservatism. if you think that's what America should be like, go away.

This has been one long post election cute sqeeky dumb fart! She must have the energizer bunny up her anus.

This woman is disgusting!

Lets play can you guess what I'm qouting!

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

Hooray it's the U.S. Constitution!

Glad to know all those who flunked 3rd grade social studies can still take a shot at becoming President. That's equality for you.

My points in case you didn't get them are simply these: 1.That Palin
reminds me more of the Carpetbaggers & Scallywags that vexed
the South after the Civil War, than a reputable individual. 2. That
religion is the last refuge of a scoundrel. You shouldn't discount
the meaning of that term because it's not a modern term. In it's
time it was synonomous with the term con artist. Get the picture now ?

Imho, to me, Saral Palin represents a comedy of errors so trajic
that it's profoundly disgusting on every level. Why ? Because
she represents blind ambition without talent,character or integrity,
cleverness without genuine intelligence, and an overwhelming desire
to be not only A puppet, but THE puppet at all costs. It matters not
one whit to her what's good for the USA. It matters only that she
accomplishes her early childhood ambition of becoming President.

Being a puppet for the world Big Oil Monopoly (which has been
bleeding nearly every country in this world dry for 150 years,
fomenting Oil Wars and giving the Banksters every opportunity to
help Big Oil exsanguinate us) by selling out her country in that would
be devil's bargain matters nothing to her. Again, imho,she's a supreme
joke that was played on us after an abysmaly long line of good but
ineffectual to bad Presidents elected from 1972 to 2004. Ie. Palin is the evolutionary product akin to the court jester.I would laugh at the joke
she is if it weren't so tragic that she came very close to being one
heartbeat away from possessing the nuclear weapons codes.

That ignorant fool doesn't care the USA was founded on principles
rejecting the union of Church & State as in England..Ot that the
founding fathers were ale drinkers and Cannabis users who would
violently chase any psuedo religious fanatic like Palin out of the pubs
where the American Revolution was itself fermented into being. She
doesn't know the History of the USA, and refuses to hold faith with
it, and its legacy. The boneyards of the USA are occupied by millions
of valient men and woemen who made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve
what Palin spits on. And whether you like it or not, every Government
that's ever held power as the legal transition from George Washington to Barak Obama has done so bloodlessly without mob rule, the likes of which
the fanatical muslims and other "religious" extremeists no different than
Palin and her ilk exhort. I haven't forgotten all the hate mongering that
the supposedly good, yet mala fide, " Christian " Palin realy is showing
her true colors during the last election acted as, inciting death threats.
Joke that that bitch realy is, who does she think she's kidding ??? She
wouldn't know what goodness is much less God. And she's neither a
bona fide Christian nor lawful. Current.com contributors proved that
her entire family have criminal records. She & her husband are would
be thieves from the Republican National Party. They had to send their
attorney to Alaska to retrieve stollen p[roperty the Palins charged up
without authorization, and attempted to cross State lines to make off with.

Good thing she's not in the government anymore.

Christian Sharia Law! Yeah Buddy! Then we could leave Sarah anchored down in Anchorage, 'cause, last I checked, theocracies don't look kindly upon women in the public square.

http://yours.so

its the primary flaw in the nature of humanity.
we can have ideas that are so important we wouldnt change for anything or anyone (christianity,islam)
yet we dont recognize that just as i feel about my ideas you feel equally about yours.so if niether of us are going to budge but still persue victory, we are stuck in perpetual conflict due to a lack of respect for one anothers' method of understanding our existance.we make living by our rules of how to think more important than peace

Can you say wack job? what century does she think she is living in? fanatical Christains are as bad as fanatical Muslims the only truth ,as they see it is their truth,the only choice is one of them is preferred to the other,both offer evil dictatorships where there are no rights,where women are treated like slaves,and if you break the rules they kill you! to me both are equally dangerous!

i hate you sarah palin.

Wuv wuv wuvy

Thanks Sarah Palin, for alienating Christians and proving the value of atheism one word at a time. Oh the irony......
