“Well, if I were in charge …. They [terrorists] would know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists.” — Sarah Palin.
As if it’s not hard enough already for pastors to get their flocks to understand the importance, significance and real meaning* of one of the two sacraments that Jesus commanded (baptism and communion), Sarah Palin cheapens the sacrament to no end, while at the same time cheapening the entire message contained in the birth, life, ministry, death (by TORTURE) and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
That’s one heck of an achievement, Sarah.
Kudos to that great conservative thinker and deep-water Christian Rod Dreher for articulating so well how disgusting Palin and her acolytes can be.

Palin has managed to cheapen just about everything she’s touched over the past few years. She’s nothing more than a cardboard cutout spouting cliches while picking up a check for the effort. The unfortunate thing here was that she did her best to debase Christianity amid her money-making charade.
And what did she ever accomplish in her life in her rise to infamy? She was a governor for a short time before she quit because it got too hot in the political kitchen for her. It’s just astounding.
