Sarah Palin, Voodoo VP

I'm so not stunned.

Sarh Palin linked electoral success to prayer of Witch Hunter.

The pastor Sarah Palin says helped her to become Governor of Alaska founded his ministry with a witchhunt against a woman he accused of causing car accidents through demonic spells.

Before running for governor, Mrs Palin described how Muthee 'laid his hands' on her at one of at least 10 visits to Sarah's Wasilla Assembly of God church.

In footage of her speech, she is seen saying: "As I was mayor and Pastor Muthee was here and he was praying over me, and you know how he speaks and he's so bold. And he was praying "Lord make a way, Lord make a way."

The Christian Science Monitor reports Muthee launched six months of fervent prayer to identify the "source of the witchcraft", a local woman called Mama Jane who ran the Emmanuel Clinic.

Her alleged involvement in fortune-telling and the fact that she lived near the site of a number of fatal car accidents led Pastor Muthee to publicly declare her a witch responsible for the town's ills.

Given the financial crisis, Taliban Palin puts an entirely new spin on Voodoonomics. The witch hunter who “prayed over” Sarah to help her become governor is invited back to Wasilla too.

Look, any winged readers, spiritual longing is part of humanity, but our garden is rot if folks hear inner thunders and torch other folks out of town.

Our government is rot if it's a church, for then we have no civil ground. Learn your lessons. Sarah Palin's beliefs are legitimate because we are free, but illegitimate if near the command of America.

My gosh, people, a Vice President of the United States of America is carrying 'the briefcase'. How much Armageddon are you praying for?

Caveat

We must be careful not to overstate the case. Let us not forget that in this situation it must be noted: nothing could be further from the truth. Because, as they say, it is the exception that proves the rule. Of course, rules are made to be broken and so, in this case, we must make allowances. For the time being, all we can state with certainty is that, given this set of assumptions, all things will be equal. Context is everything. Thus, this is not the final word on the subject. And yet, because of the foregoing doubts, we must be doubly sure. So, in light of current developments and taking stock of all our cultural preconceptions, the conclusion is neither obvious nor buried.

Amerika

This doctrine is known as antinomianism, the doctrine that the Elect are free of all constraint by laws. To what extent does this principle still animate our politics?

At home, we have a famously low to nonfunctional welfare state, almost as if we thought there is fundamentally something wrong with helping those whom God hasn't favored.

Our entertainments (and sometimes, it seems, our police departments) are replete with the 'action hero' who breaks all the rules and acts an awful lot like a Bad Guy, but is the Good Guy nonetheless. More at Calvinism for Dummies

Reason's Revenge

mystic bourgeoisie:
"...history is not predestined. It is, however, littered with with petty control freaks peddling fascism tricked up to look like freedom..."

Henry David Thoreau: "Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good. Be good for something."

Neitzche: "Morality is the best of all devices for leading mankind by the nose."

Isaac Asimov: "Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right."

Buckminster Fuller: "If humanity does not opt for integrity we are through completely. It is absolutely touch and go. Each one of us could make the difference.'

Albert Einstein: "As far as I’m concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue."

Anais Nin: "We don’t see things as they are; we see things as we are."

Blaise Pascal: "I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man’s being unable to sit still in a room."

Thor Heyerdahl: "Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity."

Robinson Jeffers: "We must uncenter our minds from ourselves; We must unhmanize our views a little, and become confident As the rock and ocean that we were made from."

Zo: "Taking delight in oneself. A damn sight easier if them what gave birth to you felt the same way."

Walt Whitman: "There is, in sanest hours, a consciousness, a thought that rises, independent, lifted out from all else, calm, like the stars, shining eternal. This is the thought of identity— yours for you, whoever you are, as mine for me."

Mark Twain: "Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."

Rowan Williams: "Irony is when you recognize that your own sense of dramatic power is always something that is going to be absurd in the light of truth. The readiness to cope with that absurdity is something that you have to learn in order to grow up."
