The only hijacking that’s gone on was done by the RINOs and so called moderates. We “zealots” have always been here and we’re taking control of our own political destiny.
The writer does have good reason to fear but he need not fear us “zealots” what he needs to fear is that more and more Americans are waking up to the fact that moderates are lying manipulative scum. He needs to fear that America will find out that we religious nuts he lumps into one pile, cover a very wide range of relgious thought. In some cases even atheists are very conservative.
What the writer really fears is the truth.

My comment is that liberals are much better at spotting potential future danger than we are Actually, they are not only better but they are creating new voters by turning the schools into trainng grounds for victims and under-achievers. The only thing you need to tell an idiot is........ he is owed and we will pay you. They will all want it for free and the ones who are left alive will need to learn Chinese.

America was already a Christian country. Through and through.
There could never have been a Declaration of Independence which professed our Unalienable Rights nor a Constitution that protected them without Christianity.
We can thank the minor gods sitting the Supreme Court for turning the establishment clause upside down. The decision was Everson v. Board of Education. Justice Hugo Black came up with the "wall of separation" nonsense. He was a rat Senator, FDR appointee, KKK member, incredibly antisemitic and despised the Catholic Church.
The Supreme Court, the very branch of government designed to be a bulwark defending our liberties and God given rights, is largely responsible for the decline of our once republic.

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers, some of whom are currently working for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin's bid for the White House,
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide, now working for McCain-Palin.
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
He's in charge on November 5th.'"
The Prowler added: "Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
The Romney supporters in the McCain campaign had access to internal polling which indicated well in advance of the November 4 election that McCain had no chance to win.
So they began working to position their man Mitt for a run in 2012. Just two days after the election,The Palmetto Scoop reported:
"One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"Im told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palins people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romneys former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
These aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"Heres what I think: I think there are some staffers on the McCain campaign who seriously screwed up the roll out of Sarah Palin, to which Governor Palin herself objected.
These staffers are now out trying to finish her off thinking, as typical D.C. types do, that if they dont do it to her, shell do it to them. They just never understood who Palin is or what she is about."
"Likewise, I do think there are some staffers and others who expect Mitt Romney to run again in 2012,
they decided McCain could not win, and decided to undermine Sarah Palin and her chances hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign? (Mark Wallace, Romney pimp)
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the Diva leak was Nicolle Wallaces husband."
Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney

The prominent founding fathers were not deists. Just two, really: Jefferson and Franklin.
Both, however, were Christian deists, as evidenced by their writings and proclivities, such as Franklin’s great love for attending the preaching of George Whitfield.

His conclusion,
"Palins departure signals the bankruptcy of the Republican Party." is correct. But his argument is totally without merit.
I don't have a clue what Sarah Palin's plans are and I am not certain she actually does, for the long term. Many of us, Constitutional Conservatives, left the bankrupt Republican Political party long ago, for their actions pushed us out. Personally I got the message over a decade ago.
This hack is just another example of the great rift in our republic that has been growing for many decades. He simply doesn't get the real reason behind it.
Many of us are finally waking up to the fact that George Washington tried to warn us about. That being that putting allegiance in "party" will destroy our once great Republic!
In my most humble opinion his dire warnings are all coming true and I am not certain we will have the national will to hold the republic together, nor am I certain it would be worth the effort. I am actually of the mind that we would be much better off if we scrapped the overburdening Republic for smaller ones tied together only in the sense of a mutual defense. But that may well be only my opinion.

Dan DiNicola in The Schenectady Daily Gazette, holy sh*t I was wondering who was going to step up to take the place of Walter Cronkite, LOLPalin shows what happens to party hijacked by zealots
Precede "Palin" with 'Attacks, conspiracy theories and frivolous ethics complaints against...' and that would make a perfect headline to a story about the Democrats.
Boy you know, I just don't know which of these two posts I like the best. It's a tough call.

Yes. Did this guy actually just complain about Governor Palin because he thought she sent out an excessively syrupy and religious birth announcement for Trig?
Wow. Just wow. Every time I think they’ve gotten as petty as they can get...they fall off the floor.

I live in the Albany/Schenectady area. Dan DiNicola is an old, light weight movie critic whose grasp of history is a reflection in his media sources. He holds his job because of seniority while others at the TV station & newspaper are laid off. He could opine about Schenectady, a town on its way to being a replica of Gary, IN., but that would require work. In addition he has recently undergone surgery for a brain tumor and that may explain his comments on national politics.

Comments? This is a classic Christophobic hit piece from an ignorant liberal, and Palin has become the lightning rod for such.

Comments? Sure. I'd also say that "American shows what happens when the colonies are taken over by religious zealots".
My thoughts, they can leave any time.

I guess I could have done a better job in saying what 'danger' they were good at spotting. Of course, they are expert in spotting danger to their twisted sense of entitlement. And, yes, you are right about the Chinese part. It is prophetic that probably my most favorite Sci-Fi (hate the new poofter spelling, by the way), "Firefly" interspersed the actors' dialog with a mixture of pigeon English and
Chinese/...curious...
More roundly curious is the bane of America's advancement, illegals, mostly from hispanic countries aren't really prevalent in this future line. Why? Guess it's kinda hard to sneak into a planet the way it is easy to be welcomed into this country by its liberals.......guess they're gonna have to get a spacesuit to go along with them river floaties.....

“If we acknowledge that we are a country founded by religious zealots,”
STOP! the presses. You lost me, right there.
Go back to your cave. Do not pass GO, and do not collect $200.00. You failed this class. F’idiot!
