The title is sarcastic—-I trust that Rev. Larry Kroon of Wasilla Bible Church loves America, just as Rev. Wright does. Further, I’d prefer to keep religion out of political discourse. But considering all that was made out of one out-of-context statement by Wright that God would damn America for its injustices, it’s interesting to note that Larry Kroon, the pastor of the Palins’ home church, has made many of his own pronouncements about God damning America. (As best I can tell, Palin formerly attended the Wasilla Assembly of God (about which see this diary), but according to Time Magazine the Palins now attend the non-denominational Wasilla Bible Church.

The Washington Post has a great article on two meetings Gillespie and Mehlman conducted with conservative leaders on Wednesday. The activists expressed strong opposition to Miers:

The main complaints cited at the Norquist and Weyrich sessions yesterday, according to several accounts, centered on Miers's lack of track record and the charge of cronyism. "It was very tough and people were very unhappy," said one person who attended. Another said much of the anger resulted from the fact that "everyone prepared to go to the mat" to support a strong, controversial nominee and Miers was a letdown. As a result, a third attendee observed, Gillespie and Mehlman came in for rough treatment: "They got pummeled. I've never seen anything like it."

Among Brownie's outrageous and untruthful statements yesterday, the one that caught my attention was this:

BROWN: Congressman, FEMA is not there to supply gasoline, transportation. It is not the role of the federal government to supply five gallons of gas for every individual to put in a car to go somewhere. That is not the role of the federal government. I personally believe that that is a horrible path to go down.
And while my heart goes out to people on fixed incomes, it is primarily a state and local responsibility. And in my opinion, it's the responsibility of faith-based organizations, of churches and charities and others to help those people.
