I'm not sure where people get the idea that Palin is bent on nuclear war with Russia? Seriously. She is a Christian, true enough, but aside from internet rumors, where is any evidence she would be inclined to use nuclear weapons? She's not even running for president.

Reagan was a Christian, yet he never nuked Russia (at a time when tensions were much much higher). This whole idea that mainstream Christian politicians will try to bring about an apocalypse is silly fearmongering IMO. Clinton was a Christian. No nuclear war there. High altitide bombings over Kosovo, yes. But no nuclear war. Obama and Biden are Christian as well.

Since Palin has been a state governer, she has been rather middle of the road, policy wise. Go check out snopes.com for the real story on her supposedly wanting to ban books or other nutty stuff. They debunk that internet smear stuff rather well.

If nuclear weapons are used in the next 20 years, I'm betting 100 percent it's from Israel or Iran, not the US or Russia (at least not from Russia officially). It doesn't necessarily follow that supporting Nato or Georgia/Yukraine = nuclear war. Talk about jumping to conclusions!

PS: I have no dog in this fight over Christians in office, since I'm athiest. If you have specific links to truly reputable sources where she states that she feels it's ok to use nukes, please post them

[QUOTE="DamnDirtyApe, post: 37657, member: 527"] I'm not sure where people get the idea that Palin is bent on nuclear war with Russia? Seriously. She is a Christian, true enough, but aside from internet rumors, where is any evidence she would be inclined to use nuclear weapons? She's not even running for president. Reagan was a Christian, yet he never nuked Russia (at a time when tensions were much much higher). This whole idea that mainstream Christian politicians will try to bring about an apocalypse is silly fearmongering IMO. Clinton was a Christian. No nuclear war there. High altitide bombings over Kosovo, yes. But no nuclear war. Obama and Biden are Christian as well. Since Palin has been a state governer, she has been rather middle of the road, policy wise. Go check out snopes.com for the real story on her supposedly wanting to ban books or other nutty stuff. They debunk that internet smear stuff rather well. If nuclear weapons are used in the next 20 years, I'm betting 100 percent it's from Israel or Iran, not the US or Russia (at least not from Russia officially).
