Palm-Reading Palin Promotes Theocracy

February 7, 2010 | Filed under: Dominionists | Posted by: Jenny Donati

Sarah Palin gets caught reading notes off her hand during the Tea Party Q&A session. Who cares? She then OPENLY PROMOTES an American theocracy. To applause!

The big buzz on the Internet tonight is that Sarah Palin appears to have read notes off her hand during an interview. Yep, it looks like she did.

People obsessed with Palin’s new interest in palm-reading have made videos with commentary left and right. And every one of them ignores the words from her mouth and the reactions from the audience.

Yes, she looked at her hand. Were you listening at the end of the clip?

You heard her right. “Allowing America’s spirit to rise again, by not being afraid . . . not being afraid to kinda go back to some of our roots as a God-fearing nation, where we’re not afraid to say . . .” [video ends]

That segment of the interview starts on the video below at 3:53. Her full comment:

Allowing America’s spirit to rise again, by not being afraid . . . not being afraid to kinda go back to some of our roots as a God-fearing nation, where we’re not afraid to say . . .especially in times of potential trouble in the future here, we’re not afraid to say, you know, we don’t have all the answers as fallible men and women, so it would be wise of us to start seeking some divine intervention again in this country, so that we can be safe and secure and prosperous again. To have people involved in government who aren’t afraid to go that route, not so afraid of the political correctness that, you know, they have to be afraid of what the media would say about them if they were to proclaim their reliance on our Creator.

Judson Phillips, the promoter of the for-profit event and the interviewer for the Q&A, responded with “Amen” as the crowd applauded madly.

In this brief statement, I see the following three-part Palin litmus test for candidates she will support:

Must be openly (“not afraid of the political correctness”) a follower of the [Judeo-]Christian God;
Must promote a national religious identity following that deity (“seeking divine intervention” as a nation; “a God-fearing nation”);
Must be a Creationist (“reliance upon our Creator”; a Creator creates, rather than allowing to evolve).

Watch for yourself:

The full speech and full Q&A session may be viewed HERE.

Here, more on hand-reading. No, I can’t read it, either. Kinda looked like a swastika to me.

UPDATE: Huffington Post enhanced the image from a point in her speech. The words are, “Energy”, “~~Budget~~ Cut”, “Tax”, and “Lift American Spirits”.

She is just fucked up , much like the loonies that think religion should be involved in the affairs of Gov. Fuck off.

She isn’t a complete loon. She like many others who have lead people down the wrong road knows what she is doing. I figure it is the people behind her have trained her some but she still lacks the ability to gain much more then she already has.

Yeah she does seem to want to throw the US Constitution out the window as many of the more extreme within christianity want to do. I know that is a bit of an overstatement, since they seem to only want it to apply to their brand of christians. I am actually hoping that this group does support some of the more extreme candidates because it will make the media focus on their views more. When the media really starts looking into the stands of these types of christians I believe many Americans that are asleep right now will finally wake up to who they have been allowing to speak for them.

How laughable it is that she has to make notes on her hand like a 5th grader to remember what she thinks!

Tancredo needs to give Sarah Palin his Jim Crowe literacy test before she gets to vote. Check her palms first though!

There is nothing more politically correct in the public discourse than to pretend to acknowledge the christian Concept as God. We secularist can't even sneeze in public without a politically correct christian giving us a 'god bless you'. Excuse me? I'm suppose to be accused by someone's politically correct religious message while I'm sneezing?!!? Keep your personal religion to yourself asshole.
So it is. I was born an Atheist and my first memory of first grade was being religiously abused by the teacher almost immediately. Those days it was assumed if you were atheist you'd stay in the closet with the gays and the humanist. The christian politically correctness of public school in those days hung over every class, every school event and certainly in choir we gave a CHRISTIANmass in December. There was no Jewish holidays celebrated, no Muslim holidays celebrated and certainly no Atheist celebration days.
