Last week, I wrote that Sarah Palin believes the election is "in God's hands." Despite this, I predicted that the right wouldn't sing the Hallelujah Chorus when the Almighty chooses Obama. Consistency isn't the strong point of the religious right. When what you want to happen happens, God has rewarded you. When what you don't want to happen happens, God is testing you. When disaster visits your opponents, it's the judgment of the Almighty. When disaster visits you, you're freakin' Job.So, the religious right -- who had previously warned of doom for America if McCain was the GOP nominee -- are now great big fans of the Senator from Arizona.

Wait, the Soviet Union collapsed because it finally stopped being Christian? You sure about that Janet? Because that seems like an insane misreading of history to me. But that's not the really crazy part. The crazy part is that if you vote for Obama, you're going to hell. Really, it's right there in the Bible.
"To those who call themselves by the name of Christ who ignore what God says about life and marriage, who and are clinging to a fantasy of economic gain, think again..." she says. "Then obey Him in the voting booth and out of it. If not, do us all a favor and quit calling yourself a Christian."...
