Palin’s Pugnacity
In a recent speech before the NRA, Sarah Palin boasted that she would not “coddle” America’s adversaries if she were running the country. To resounding applause, Palin declared that under her administration, enemies would “know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists.”
Joe Carter of the Gospel Coalition writes an excellent response to Palin’s foolish words, and concludes by saying that “our enemies need to accept Jesus and to be baptized by water and the Spirit. That is the Christian way, not as Palin would have it, to have our enemies fear a pagan god and have their spirit broken by water.”
Rod Dreher of The American Conservative also points out that Palin’s views more resemble the terrorist (!) Jacobins of the French Revolution than the traditional conservatism Palin ostensibly espouses.
Palin’s remarks should cause Christians—especially those in the military—to evaluate our own affiliations and allegiances. Are we willing to stand with the Prince of Peace, even if it means looking weak to the world? Or are we more comfortable among political ideologies that baptize violence?<>mega-vzlomстатистика ключевых запросов google
