The Real Reason Sarah Palin Sucks

Sarah Palin has many detractors.  Yet most of these point to her family life, her disputes with inlaws, her animal rights record. While those deserve attention, clearly, the real reason Palin sucks is because she is a Dominionist. Being a Dominionist is not usually considered a serious matter in American politics because most of these folks are marginalized. But Sarah Palin has bypassed that obscurity through her relationship with neocons. Bill Kristol and Karl Rove.

Neocons have, as their basic principle the expansion of American power, with amoral undertones. Neocons are for invasion, illegality, aggression, as means to extend American power throughout the world. The danger of course is that pushing Russia with this behavior is very dangerous and even suicidal. Neocons are like bulldogs because they are not going away anytime soon.

But with the exit of George Bush, these neocons need a populist figure to sweep them again into power in 2012. Sarah Palin, the Dominionist, has become that major vehicle of the neoconservatives. So then, what is  a Dominionist? Simple, a Dominionist is one who believes in extending the power of a "Christian" nation far beyond her borders and ultimately all around the world. Furthering religion by force is the hallmark of those would would blur the separation of church and state. The neocons would normally care less about this theology, except that it fits into their concept of world domination by the United States.

From a purely theological perspective, Jesus Christ pronounced that his own kingdom was not of this world and that his servants should not resist the physical authorities. That lesson is missing from the Dominionists and has been missing for those who have done all manner of mischief and evil through persecutions, crusades, wars over religion, hatred of other men for their views, etc. These men have historically done great harm to the world over time.

From a political perspective, this FUSION of Dominionism with Neoconservatism is a very dangerous brew. The world will not be a safer place with these people in charge of American foreign policy and with Palin's little bony finger on the nuclear trigger. You think Dick Cheney scared you? Sarah Palin as president would be the poster child for bomb shelters.

I am not alone in my opinion of the neocons. Even Pat Buchanan has called them the War Party and views their provocation of the bear as being folly. While he has a more favorable view of Sarah Palin than I do Buchanan's optimism is simply not supported by the facts.  

It is time that Americans come to terms with the toxic ambition that a Neocon Dominionist merger would foment. It is time Americans educated themselves as to the dangerous thinking of these people. America has every right to defend itself and its allies. However, provoking the Russian bear has never been the policy of the United States and it cannot be the policy of the United States in the future.
