The following honestly nauseated me when I researched
it. I first heard on some of the elite
news stations that there was video footage of Sarah Palin as a religious extremist,
claiming that “our military is on a task from God”. Then I heard Fox News claim that this was inaccurate
because the footage was clipped before she finished making her point. No big deal… I have heard these things many
times. But this was enough to encourage me to search
for the actual video footage, which I quickly found on YouTube. I was not surprised to learn that the claim
was clipped, and that what she actually said was “we need to pray that our
military is sent on a task from God, that is what we need to pray for, that we
have a plan, and that our plan is God’s plan”. Still, no big deal.
But then I listened on YouTube to one of the original
accusations by MSNBC and was blown away.
Filled with clipped video footage, they mock God, asking why is he
taking so long to build pipelines, and claiming that if he was in control than
we wouldn’t be having problems. They
mock God and Palin calling her God’s messenger and the new messiah. They mock people of faith claiming they don’t
even need to vote, just stay home and pray.
They take a piece of video, show the viewers only a small part of it so
that they get the wrong message, and then use this to spew anti-christian sentiment.
Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the House, was quick to point
out that Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, John F Kennedy, and many other
presidents over the years have made similar claims about praying for our will
and God’s will to be synonymous. But it
is only within the last 20+ years that this has started to become unacceptable.
I for one am very concerned over the elite media’s (specifically
MSNBC) anti-religious sentiment, and the effects this has on re-shaping our
country and young viewers.
Here are the YouTube links:
