Sarah Palin: ‘Angry atheists’ are trying to ‘abort Christ from Christmas’

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

It's obvious sister Sarah has never studied history.



If Thomas Jefferson were alive today, Sarah Palin said, he would probably go on Fox News to complain about the war on Christmas.

The former half-term governor of Alaska and failed vice presidential candidate appeared Thursday at Liberty University to promote her new book Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas.

She told the audience of students that the U.S. Constitution was written by and for moral and religious people, and that nonreligious people probably were incapable of appreciating its principles.

“If you lose that foundation, John Adams was implicitly warning us, then we will not follow our constitution, there will be no reason to follow our constitution because it is a moral and religious people who understand that there is something greater than self, we are to live selflessly, and we are to be held accountable by our creator, so that is what our constitution is based on, so those revisionists, those in the lamestream media, especially, who would want to ignore what our founders actually thought, felt and wrote about in our charters of liberty – well, that’s why I call them the lamestream media,” Palin said.

1. is it me or is her mental health declining by the day?

that's a stretch even for a Fox News propagandist

[Warpy]

30. Too bad she didn't refer to what Adams signed

in the Treaty of Tripoli. It seems his thoughts were far from theocratic ones.

However, yes, mental illness is like that leaky roof, ignoring it will ensure it just keeps getting worse.

[NuclearDem]

2. Nah, Christian capitalists did that a long time ago.

[jberryhill]

3. Protestants already took the "Mass" out of "Christmas"

[malaise]

4. The war against the war on Christmas is a business

Sadly Palin and Santorum suck so bad that they still aren't cashing in.

[mike_c]

5. why the FUCK does anyone care what emerges from Sarah Palin's fetid mouth...?

Seriously. Electrons died to bring you this information. Was it worth their sacrifice? Really?

[Cirque du So-What]

10. Electrons don't die

They just pass to a lower energy level. Granted, those electrons are passing to an extremely stupid level - possibly emitting subatomic particles like cretins and morans and imbecilions - but they're still around anyway in some form.

[mike_c]

11. "cretins and morons and imbecilions...."

And then they evaporate into zero point quantum vacuousness! I believe we've discovered the central theorem of teabagger decay.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

25. What's the half-life of a 'bagger?

And more importantly, what do they decay into? 2 morons and a teaspoon of salt? I could live with that.

[arcane1]

22. Worse, they are converted into photons which then ENTER MY BODY through my eyes!!!!

Where's the "exorcism" smiley when you need it?

[Cirque du So-What]

23. And the eyes are plugged very directly into the brain

[marmar]

6. How do her 15 minutes keep getting extended?

[LadyHawkAZ]

12. Or any of Jefferson's writings n/t

[LadyHawkAZ]

15. I have some amusing pictures in my head of her trying to read the Jefferson Bible, though

She'd probably disown him as a Founding Father.

[Scootaloo]

29. I have amusing pictures in my head of her trying to READ

In them, she's gnawing on the book and calling it the worst sandwich she's ever had.

[LadyHawkAZ]

32. You win!

[treestar]

8. Not that it's true, but at least it is a clear sentence

Someone else must have written it for her.

[spanone]

9. look at me! look at me!!!!! c'mon, look at me!!!

[Niceguy1]

13. she is crazy

nobody can take Christmas from you if I want to say Merry Christmas i will say Merry Christmas.

[Major Nikon]

16. Jefferson probably was an atheist

Back then it was political suicide to admit to being an atheist (as if it still isn't). Many hid behind deism or other belief systems to disguise their atheism. Neither Jefferson or Adams were Christians, at least in any sense of that word that most people would consider Christian.

If dipshits like Palin knew what Adams and Jefferson meant by "creator", which is really more of a deism reference, they would fear that far more than atheism.

[4 t 4]

21. religion should be as private as your sex life

I don't want to hear about yours unless I ask ,I won't tell you about mine unless you ask and even then I will just tell you my basic beliefs .It's so very personal and private if you really believe in anything it should be private. "Those who protest the loudest, really suck!!!! haha

[Cobalt73]

17. She plays to her constituency well

In general, she is batshit crazy and plays to the perpetual victimhood syndrome of those who are members of the right wing.

[sakabatou]

18. This atheist could care less about her opinion

[AuntFester]

19. How many ways does she think she can play that tired old War on Xmas gambit?

[Captain Stern]

20. $$$ Ka-Ching! $$$ It's Liberty "University"...another check for Sarah (nt)

[AzDar]

24. " Question with boldness even the existence of a God...for if there be one,

He must surely prefer the homage of Reason to that of blindfolded Fear." --- Thomas Jefferson

[nolabear]

26. I'm sorry. I dozed off somewhere about the last left turn of that sentence.

Did she say anything?

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

27. I didn't know she was in the state,

I could have shit in her mouth!

[hobbit709]

28. Actually Sarah, I'd settle for this.

[DinahMoeHum]

31. +1000s

The original St. Nicholas (of Myra) would approve.

Happy Sinterklass Day.

[antiquie]

35. This is front page material.

[Initech]

33. I think I saw The Angry Atheists play at the Troubadour.

[Vogon_Glory]

34. Christians Against Christmas? Does Palin Know?

If DU'ers want to have some fun, they can can use search engines to look up hard-core X-Ian fundamentalits who are very hostile to celebrating Christmas and the traditions that have become linked with the holiday.

So why is it whenever we hear the Wasilla Diva rail about atheists and liberals against Christmas, we NEVER hear about the self-proclaimed Christians waging war against the holiday.

[CJCRANE]

36. Here's your chance to lead by example Sarah. Follow in Christ's footsteps...

and help the poor, the sick and the needy.

[lpbk2713]

37. The Quitter's blatant and unabashed pandering makes me nauseated.

The nitwits who attend her money gouging gigs and those who buy her ghost
written books deserve to lose every penny they waste on this dumb ass.

[Beaverhausen]

38. I can't believe she used the word "selfless"

Aren't selflessness and liberty sort of opposites?

[MattBaggins]

39. Blah blah word salad

Blah blah word salad.

Does she ever say anything that even vaguely resembles a coherent thought?

[tanyev]

40. Sarah Palin, keeping Chri$t in Chri$tma$:

"I love the commercialization of Christmas because it spreads the Christmas cheer. It's the most jolly holiday, obviously, on our calendar."
