"This is a sick country"

That's a quote from Jay Nordlinger at The Corner. He's talking about the vicious way Sarah Palin is being destroyed by the Press and by the Liberal Establishment. I too am shocked by the hate which she inspires. And I honestly believe that hate is from the devil. Whenever there is such an irrational, violent reaction to anyone or anything, I smell the whiff of brimstone. Which inspires the following suggestion.

Please pray for Sarah Palin every day. Please do not stop praying for her. She is one of us: she isn't a natural politician, she's just a normal woman who believes that the US could be a better place and that she can help. She needs God's grace to stand up to these attacks.

Also, please ask everyone you know to pray for her, every day. It's cliche (poets, come up with something better!) but we need an army of spiritual warriors. Church Militant, and all that.

I think Sarah Palin symbolizes the basically good (albeit imperfect) Christian trying to do God's will. I think this is what she symbolizes for everyone, those who love her and those who don't. And I think those who hate her do so because that is what she symbolizes. And I think if they are able to destroy her, what will be destroyed in the hearts of many is the sense that this land of ours could once again be essentially a Christian people, which Christian values and culture.

As always, of course, pray that God's will be done.
