Frankly, it scares the heck out of me that someone like Sarah Palin, who desires to be Raptured, has a possibility of being in control of our “Football,” that briefcase that is always within the immediate reach of the president and contains our nuclear launch codes in case of nuclear war.
The idea of the Rapture negates any usefulness of the concept of MAD, Mutual Assured Destruction, as a deterrent to nuclear war, she actually wants the destruction to come about, she wants Rapture to happen.
I have had more than enough of these Conservative religious wackos, the possibility of one becoming president is foolhardy in the extreme.

(that’s my comment but the confuser says it’s “too short” so here’s a whole bunch of other unnecessary words so that my one word comment is sufficiently wordy…………)
Better Rapture than rupture… as has happened in your brain. A reminder: There a lot more far out freaks out there than the religious… your paranoid delusions expressed in your letter are proof.
One religious wacko in the White House is far too many. Bush has proved that having a religious moron in the White House is dangerous to the entire country. When these “end of days” whack jobs actually get elected to office, their foreign policy decisions become self-fulfilling prophesies. People have the absolute right to believe whatever “fairytale” they wish, but when it comes time to make decisions that effect 300 million Americans, I want someone rational on the button. Come November, Sarah Palin will be very happy re-reading the “Left Behind” series for the ninth time with all her other “end of days”, kool-aid drinking zealots.
