People don't like light and prefer darkness when their deeds are wicked. Palin tweaks a lot of people's consciences, and they really don't like it. Palin represents reality and truth, and they prefer myths and lies. Palin is a "winnowing fork", requiring division of wheat and chaff. You may not remain neutral. You must choose, and it makes some VERY uncomfortable to do so.
2 Cor 2:14-17 will tell you why she evokes such an irrational response in some people.

II Cor 2: 14-17
But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads in every place the fragrance that comes from knowing him. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;to the one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? For we are not peddlers of God's word like so many; but in Christ we speak as persons of sincerity, as persons sent from God and standing in his presence.
This passage says NOTHING about Sarah Palin, winnowing forks, or irrational responses. Am I to understand she evokes "irrational" responses because she smells like God?
Go ahead and try voting her to the oval office. I dare you.
Edit: @Swicket: In free republic, Sarah palin is the god.
I didn't like her because we were told that she didn't even know what the duties were of the office she was running for .
The "people don't like her because she's Christian" line is just propaganda from the Repubican Party.
Palin tweaks my conscience? You mean the person who quit halfway through her first term as Governor of Alaska because she could make more money from a book deal & tour, and probably left before a scandal involving improperly firing state troopers came out? And who misused public funds? And who supports abstinence-only sex ed while her daugter got knocked up and can't understand how that happened? And who shot moose while flying over them in a helicopter? And who walked out halfway through a book signing while her fans waited out in the cold just to see her and got pissed off when she left early?
I think my conscience is fine. I think of Sara Palin like Walter Mondale. They lost big time and then fell off the political radar.
I love how Christians think that Sara Palin is just underneath Jesus on the worship heirarchy.
Oh please, anyone with two brain cells can tell what Sarah is right away, it's completely obvious. That you don't see her for what she is just means you're as stupid as she is. God, why do you people always worship the most hateful, corrupt assholes you can find? No normal person would want to be in the same room as Palin, yet you think she's some kind of holy being. What does the Bible say about calling evil good, and good evil? 'Cause you people do that ALL THE TIME.
The only reality and truth Sarah Palin could represent is how widely and openly her fearmongering views are held by our society. Views that do tweak my conscience, because I feel they're horribly misguided and dangerous. And yes, that does make me very, very uncomfortable.
You may not remain neutral. You must choose
You may fuck off. Only a tyrant and an oppressor offers the two diametric choices: us or them. I can choose neutrality if I so choose and there's not one fucking thing you can do to make me decide otherwise.
1 Corinthians
11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law
14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
"You may not remain neutral. You must choose"
OK, I choose sanity and knowledge, over blabbering nonsense and Chrstian Fundeism.
(I kind of repeated myself there, didn't I?)
What's a winnowing fork? A piece of cutlery that sounds like a horse? No, that's whinnying, isn't it? Sorry.
The extreme, but highyly RATIONAL response she evokes from the majority of people is because we discovered that she's more than just a nitwit, she's one of the most cutthroat, brazen liars we've ever seen on the public stage, with a talent for using those lies to stir up near hysterical hatred and paranoia amongst the idiots who follow her. Death threats against Obama went up so much (400%) after she went on the campaign trail that the Secret Service had to have a word with the McCain campaign out of concern for Obama's safety. But guess what? Even knowing this, Palin continued with the lies at every stop. She's also totally corrupt, with a litany of ethics complaints against her in Alaska.
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Romans 13:1
With other words, everyone who is in power was put into this position by god".
So, by whining about people electing the "wrong person" you are de facto criticising gods decisions. Well, I assume you (and all the other fundamentalists who whine about their precious Sarah Palin not being Vice president) will spend your afterlife in a very hot place (god doesn´t like people who criticise him and his decisions, as you can read in numerous passages in the old testament)
"Palin represents reality and truth"
*snortchortle* Say what? In what twisted dimension do you live in?
I cannot stand that woman. I've never seen a more unrepentent attention whore. Well, there's the annoying Hilton chit, but since she's dropped off the map, Palin has definitely taken her spot.
I agree, Mr. B, if that's your real name, Palin is a "whining fuck", but check your spelling, please.
2 Cor 2:14-17 will tell you why she evokes such an irrational response in some people.
You sure it has nothing to do with this 'soccer mom' (who believes that the rapture is close) came very close to having her finger on the nuclear launch codes.
Does MrB even realise that Sarah Palin was only placed on the Republican ticket, because they thought that Barak Obama was going to have Hilary Clinton as his running mate, during the 2008 election, & they believed that Sara would counteract the effects of Hilary on potential female voters, who would vote Democrat...?
Unfortunately, Barak Obama "wrongfooted" them, & chose Joe Biden as his Vice-President...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
