New book, "Christian Nation," examines what might happen if Sarah Palin became President. Can be found in the horror section of your local bookstore.

Courtesy of Mediaite: 

“They said what they would do, and we did not listen. Then they did what they said they would do.” 

That’s how the first chapter of a new alt-history novel called Christian Nation ends, beginning readers along a journey described as a “terrifyingly credible path toward theocracy,” led by President Sarah Palin after President John McCain unexpectedly passes away. 

The book, written by lawyer Frederic C. Rich and published by W.W. Norton & Company, is based on Palin’s famous 2010 remark that “America is a Christian nation.” Envisioning a Palin presidency, Christian Nation describes an alt-history in which “America’s Christian fundamentalists” gain power and transform the country into one in which “constitutional protections [are] dismantled” and “all aspects of life dominated by an authoritarian law called ‘The Blessing,’ enforced by a totally integrated digital world known as the ‘Purity Web.’” 

“The scariest thing about Christian Nation is that it’s so plausible,” said Americans United for Separation of Church and State’s executive director Rev. Barry W. Lynn. “No violent revolution, no blood in the streets, is necessary for Americans to lose their freedoms—just a failure to defend the liberties that we often take for granted.”

Why? Why write a book like this?

Don't I have enough trouble going to sleep at night?

BOO!
 You know the crazy thing about this, besides Sarah Palin of course, is that THIS was the actual scenario that used to haunt my dreams back in 2008. I will have to assume that this book is clear evidence that I was not the only person visited by Palin induced night terrors.

    Crazy Demented Boo Boo. Thank goodness the probability of Palin ever being elected ANYTHING at the national level is so low that I will never lose a wink of sleep unless someone turns the TV to FOX and turns the volume way up while I'm taking a nap. Which no one in this household would do as a prank to dear old dad.

    That picture is frightening, I'll admit. But it's just a picture of a monster, not a real monster. She's neutralized herself. She's a toothless, balding dog with a half-ass bark. And her ex-husband is worse. Four years ago, I was a little more worried, but more people have gotten to know her now. She can NEVER reverse her negative numbers. NEVER. Feel free to quote me.

    This is sort of OT but the frightful things Palin said on Saturday at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference could incite retribution from radical Islamists. "Let Allah sort it out" concerning the civil strife in Syria after sarcastically saying "Allah Akbar" meaning God is great. It was snarky and dismissive of the Muslim religion. She should be very, very careful with her mouth.

      She secretly feels the same way about the Jewish people, despite her fake support of the Zionist state of Israel. She doesn't even know the difference between the two, and doesn't care. She's a bigot, and the more inflammatory her remarks, the more she embarrasses her "peers" who might still be capable of such. She has already crossed the line with her shuckin and jivin and other racially insensitive remarks. The KKK was once a powerful political force that made itself unpalatable for anyone other than the worst minority of human beings in our country. That is the model that Sarah has chosen to follow. I say let her continue speaking loudly and often, until HER people drag her off the stage. She's throwing shit into a fan and she's covered in it and it's getting all over her supporters and the few peers that will even stand close to her.

      Keep exercising your freedom of speech, Sarah, please.

      She didn't take the hint from the RNC, Romney, nor Rove. And she didn't even listen to her boss, Roger Ailes, last time, and her stupidity was the final nail in her political coffin forever with her thin-skinned blood-libel victim hood speech before the memorial for those killed in Tucson was even started. She's Toast.

      Bless her heart.

      I absolutely agree. But if something like that actually did happen, I'm sure the Lamestream "Librul" Media would hurry and deflect blame from Poor Misunderstood Kristian Savior Sarah...

      BTW, could I see the plot of the book happening here? Yup--maybe not entirely with Plastic Surgery Sal up there, but with a collective of like-minded puppets taking over the government piece by piece. If we're not awake and aware...

I can't see how or why she gets by with her bull at Fox. She is putting all of them at risk. Also, too, if she is with her kids or Grandkids, are they safe? How does Fox know there isn't already a double agent or more on the inside?

      The bottom line is that she is NOT religious in any way, shape or form. It is a show for the people who idolize her and are religious in their own way. Remember that on the campaign trail with McCain, she drew her family around her for a prayer, and Willow said "Why are you pretending to be something you are not?" Everything about this despicable woman is a fraud. She is no politician, she is a caricature of herself. I wonder why the people at Fox do not revolt against having to play nice with this shell of a real human? I hope they get together and decide to reveal her true self to all the viewers. They would do everyone a favor, including themselves. She taints every venue she appears at.

    The christian control is still a danger without Palin. Even if you would never have an abortion, you would have one to save your life. And the aim of these extreme religious fanatics is not just to ban abortion, but also birth control.

She insists on being front and center, and only the extreme shit-for-brains will follow her as a leader. Not everyone wants to be ridiculed for supporting the village idiot. Anyone fooled by her grifting is just another mark, and Republicans and Dems alike understand that she is toxic.

    RA: "I can't. We have standards. Low, I know, but still... she was horrible and..."
    G: "You owe me, DN. Remember Reno? 1989?"
    RA: "Sigh..... Yeah... Reno....shit. G... I would.. But... The budget... the million..."
    G: "You dont have to pay her a million this time. She's lost her looks and she's twice as stupid as she was 6 months ago. Offer her $75,000 plus free shuttle rides to and from the airport. She'll take it..."
    RA: "Reno, huh?"
    G: "Reno."
    RA: "Ok, Gryph... I owe you. She'll be on in a couple weeks. But I can tell you right now, she aint staying long!"
    G: "Hey, Douchenozzle, that's cool. I just need to get my blog stats back up."

    G: "Later, Dude."

    There it is. Proof that YOU got that notwit back on television! I double dog --- no... I TRIPLE double dog -- dare you to deny this transcript is accurate!

    Two observations: 1) SERIOUSLY, you call him Douchenozzle????? 2) Apparently, much to my chagrin, it turns out that Gryphen really IS your real name. Whodda thunk it... I just dont know how I could have been so misinformed.

    Finally, these rest of these phone recording are just awesome! I have kinduva mix tape I play in the car of you and a Foxxy Boxer named Tina that is funny, poignant, bittersweet, deeply disturbing and a GREAT way for me to practice my Espanol! Thanks, dude!

  26. While Sarah is a national joke to us, we should never underestimate the power and the zeal of the New Apostolic Reformation/Prophetic Dominion Movement. The Palins have many decades of relationships with this group and while you won't find much information about them, Sarah is in a very strategic place to enable them to fulfill their prophecy. Palin believes that she was chosen by God to lead the US into the End Times, preceded by a huge war in the Middle East to fulfill that prophecy. Call it crazy, but they're out there, they do have power and their movement is growing.

    Monday night on The Daily Show, John Oliver ruthlessly mocked former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s return to Fox News.

    Palin returned to Fox News on Monday to inform the world she was authoring a book about the war on Christmas and spouted off a number of hokey phrases in the process.

    “I just don’t even know where to begin with her,” he said. “I mean — hold on. I think I’ve just realized something. Fuck it, this is exactly what she wants. Just because I walked into a turd supermarket doesn’t mean I have to buy anything.”

    Though Oliver could mock Palin in the typical Daily Show-esque fashion by mashing up clips of the conservative commentator contradicting her own “nonsense,” the more prudent move was to “just fucking ignore her.”

    “I promise America it will feel so good,” he remarked. “It will be like we give our brains an enema together.”

    Ignoring Palin rather than mocking her would be a difficult task, Oliver acknowledged, but it was the right thing to do.

    What she repeatedly calls the Nanny State.

    Following up on this reasoning, Sarah, could you tell us why you support legislation that would insert the government into our private medical decisions? That would be abortion and birth control.

    And, o/t from this serious topic, the Daily Mail has several shots of Mr. and Mrs. Todd Palin on the streets of Manhattan on Monday. Close-ups of her metal-studded shoes, pink floppy shirt, see-through skirt, and his jeans, boots, plain rumpled shirt.
    Two rubes in the big city.
    I don't think, after today's Fox performance, that Sarah will be with us for very long on tv. She may bring in some ratings, but she really makes Fox a laughing stock for many more people. I'd think that the regular "talent" such as Kelly, O'Reilly, and the rest might start to rebel if they have to give up valuable time to talk with the likes of Palin. It makes them look ridiculous. Ailes doesn't want a circus sideshow, no matter how much money he thinks she might bring in. Give it a few months, and we may be asking "Sarah who?" or "Sarah Palin. Really?"

    Was gonna mention The Handmaid's Tale, but another, even more brutal look at what "Christian America" might be like, check out the criminally under-read Octavia Butler's two books, "The Parable of the Sower" and "The Parable of the Talents".

    The story is told thru the eyes of a young woman who grows up as American society collapses around her. She devises her own spiritual approach to this new world, one that is nearly eradicated by the "Christian Americans", aided and abetted by her own brother. A rough two books to read, but very, very worthwhile.

      I will try and pick them up, thank you. I weep at the topic already.

      Thanks for the recommendations. I've added them to my wishlist at Amazon. I've also place an order on Kindle for Christian Nation which I will get on the 24th. Some light reading, eh? I'll probably become paranoid and terrified about the future for my kids and grandkids!

    Kim Parkhurst Stokes > Sarah Palin near Midland, TX · I met you when you came to Midland, TX and gave Todd some info. on a neurodevelopmental specialist we see for our son with DS. I would love to be able to message you some information about that. Any interest?


    Kim you may want to forward that information to Trig's caregiver Auntie Heather. She may find it helpful.

      To which Sarah would reply, "Well, don't you think highly of yourself?" Who dares suggest knowledge or resources to Miss Perfect Special Needs Mommy-Pants?
