First she couldn't define what was the Bush Doctrine, then she couldn't answer a simple question, i.e Katie Couric's "What do you read", then she used her magic "Palmpromter", now Sarah Palin reached a new low.
According to The Washington Monthly, Sarah Palin, while appearing at an evangelical Christian women's conference in Louisville, rejected the notion that the Church should be separated from State. According to Genius Sarah "Einstein" Palin, the Founding Fathers were against the seperation of Church and State.
SARAH PALIN : I beg you, Women of Joy, to bring light and be involved, loving America and praying for her. Really, it is our solemn duty. Praying for true spiritual awakening to overcome deterioration. That is where God wants us to be. Lest anyone try to convince you that God should be separated from the state, our Founding Fathers, they were believers. And George Washington, he saw faith in God as basic to life.
She also blasted the Wisconsin federal court ruling that government observance of a National Day of Prayer was unconstitutional which made her dittoheads joined in booing. She asserted that America needs to get back to its Christian roots. Then Sarah Palin attacked President Obama for saying that "America wasn't a christian nation".
Let put President's Obama in the right context. Last year during a trip in Turkey, he made this remark at a press conference:
One of the great strengths of the United States is ... we have a very large Christian population -- we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.
As noted by Greg Sargent , Sarah Palin seems to ignore that the separation of church and state, thanks in part to the efforts of those very same Founding Fathers, is enshrined in the Bill of Rights :
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Isn't funny how Palin, Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and other teabaggers love to refer to the COnstitution while ignoring what's in it ! Don't they want "Less Government ? So Why the government should tell us what "God" we should pray or what religion we should worship ???
