Oh, One Last Thing

Once again, time for a defense of someone I don't personally support.

This time, Sarah Palin.

Folks, it's time to stop hammering her for supposedly saying that the Iraq war was "God's plan".

I do not have the video in front of me at the moment, so my quote will be paraphrased, but what she clearly says in the video is "That's what we have to pray for, that there is a plan and that it's God's plan".

And yet everyone on the left seems to have picked up on this and is flinging it around as though she had asserted that God endorsed our plan in Iraq.

In that same video she definitely said some things not becoming of a VP. She was scattershot, jumping from topic to topic and giggling like a schoolgirl at times. And she did assert that the parishoners should pray for God's plan for the pipeline she wanted to build.

But she never said that Iraq was God's plan, she said we should pray that there was a plan and that that plan was God's plan.

I continue to disagree with Senator McCain and Governor Palin on most issues, I continue to think both would be disastrous for our country at this juncture of our history.

But I also continue to believe that we should discuss the issues, not make them up by twisting someone's words.

On EITHER side.

Liam.
