So while Bristol Palin is facing criticism over how she treats her baby daddies, Sarah Palin reminds us that she is just an idiot.

So while we have all been distracted by the world discovering, apparently for the first time, that Bristol Palin is a truly terrible person who forced the father of her son to spend a small fortune for the right to share custody of his son, Sarah Palin has been working hard smashing her lips on Donald Trump's orange rump.

In her most recent Facebook post Palin compared him to.....wait this can't be right......Mahatma Gandhi?

Well this of course inspired her few remaining followers to ether scratch their heads in bewilderment or to simply attack her for supporting Trump.

Connor Baxter Comparing a peace figure to someone who wants to build a wall? 

Rich Martin She didn't just compare DT to Gandhi?!?! A new low in ridiculousness, even for her. 

David Chesler Sara, I knew Gandi and Trump is no Gandi! 

Terry Busch Disgusting Sarah. I defended you when you were being attacked, but now I am ashamed. 

Andrew Boyd Because Gandhi would vote for trump? This should be on a Bernie Sanders poster.

I can hardly wait to see the SarahPAC numbers in the next financial report.

However more humorous than Sarah Palin comparing Donald Trump to Mahatma Gandhi and then being mocked for it, is that the quote she used is not even a Gandhi quote.

Courtesy of the Christian Science Monitor:  

We don't know where this quote came from, but it is strikingly similar to something that the trade unionist Nicholas Klein gave in a 1918 address to the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America in Baltimore: 

"First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you. And that, is what is going to happen to the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America."

Leave it to Sarah Palin to take a stupid idea, and make it even dumber.

Russell Brand tries to play nice with members of the Westboro "God Hates Fags" Church.

It kind of took me awhile to warm up to Russell Brand (I found his voice a little annoying) but after I saw him in the movies "Get Him to the Greek" and "Arthur" I really started to appreciate him more.

However after seeing how genuinely kind and patient he is with these two UNBELIEVABLE assholes I now feel badly that it took me so long to appreciate him.

Do me a favor and tell me how long it took before you wanted to jump into the video and tell these two douchebags off. (I would have ripped them a new one the minute they walked out with this horribly insulting sign.)

Sarah Palin and her association with NAR. "Everyone but Christians understands that Jesus was nonviolent." Mahatma Gandhi.

Researcher Rachel Tabachnick, reported regarding NAR videos that they “demonstrate the taking control of communities and nations through large networks of 'prayer warriors' whose spiritual warfare is used to expel and destroy the demons that cause societal ills. Once the territorial demons, witches, and generational curses are removed, the 'born-again' Christians in the videos take control of society."

“The movement's notion of "spiritual warfare" has spread from the California suburbs to an East-Coast inner city, and has impacted policy decisions in the developing world. Movement operatives are well-connected enough to have testified before Congress and to have received millions of dollars in government abstinence-only sex-education grants. Leaders in the NAR movement refer to themselves as ‘apostles.’”

When Palin was 24, she joined a spiritual warfare network. Rachel Tabachnick, continues:

“These communication networks allow apostles to disseminate new prophecy to their ‘prayer warriors.’ During the presidential election this included prophecies about Palin, including one in which Glazier described a vision that Palin would take the ‘mantle’ of leadership after a period of national mourning, apparently following John McCain's demise.

“The first Transformation film so impressed pastors in Wasilla, Alaska, that they contacted some of the religious leaders featured in the movie including Thomas Muthee, who was shown driving a witch out of Kiambu, Kenya. Wasilla Assembly of God developed an ongoing relationship with Muthee and a 2005 church video shows him anointing Palin. Unfortunately the press picked up on the witch part of the story, and not the more important fact that Palin has ties to top leaders of the New Apostolic Reformation.

“I believe this movement's threat to separation of church and state is greater than some of the more overtly theocratic movements of the religious right. The inclusion of women and all races in leadership roles, and their enthusiastic sponsorship of social services conflicts with a popular notion about religious fundamentalism. Despite their radical strategies, leaders in the movement have been labeled in the press as moderate…a ‘new evangelical.’


I have written on this topic a number of times in the past and believe it is very important and frightening information that should be read and understood by as many people as possible.

This is a very well written and researched post that will have the hairs on the back of your neck standing on end. Please click the title to read the entire article.

My friend Leah Burton, from "God's Own Party", should have returned from her speaking engagement and be back at the keyboard in the next day or so, and I trust she will have much to add on this topic as well.

Profound thought of the day.

"Seven Blunders of the World"

1. Wealth without work
2. Pleasure without conscience
3. Knowledge without character
4. Commerce without morality
5. Science without humanity
6. Worship without sacrifice
7. Politics without principle
