U.S. Army on a mission from God - Palin


Is Palin another possible commander-in-chief who talks with God? (Does God issue secret commands to Exxon/Mobil, too? He never talked to me about oil.) Are we colonizing Islamic nations to be Christian-lite or die? Is her God an angry white man with a long beard who issues commands from "up there"? And just what are HIS commandments?

"Sarah, this is GOD speaking. Let me put this in a friendly way for now, babe, since you're not very humble and don't take criticism well. Let's work on that, but for now, we need to get you and your buddies that oil, the oil I misplaced in the sands of Iraq. Oh, what was I thinking! We need that gas pipeline for Alaska, too. Do that for me, honey. I'll give you a free pass to kill some more moose! OK? Atta girl."
