alfreda89: (Books and lovers)
An article in The New Yorker winds its way through the witch in the bible, literature, and society, ending up lamenting that we have no righteous witches to come forth and deal with the old men planting flags on the reproductive organs of women.

The first three comments point out that she's missed where witches are alive and well (like Discworld) and she doesn't seem to have any comprehension of real witches -- or how women are still threatened and killed for being witches.

I'm wondering where she was going with this article....

...and if you poke around a bit on the Internet, you will see what the McCain group does not want you to know:

Sarah Palin is following a spiritual leader who has actively driven villages in Africa into a frenzied state where a person accused of "witchcraft" is driven out or even burned at the stake. This group has even instructed families to drive out or kill their children because they are "witches".

Yes. 21st century, meet 17th century.

Please get this word out to everyone you know who is remotely thinking they should support the McCain/Palin ticket.

Sarah Palin is part of a plan even more hideous than eroding civil liberties, stopping all abortions, harassing gay people and making the diplomatic map of the world black and white (as in black hat and white hat) -- these people have a plan to take over every venue of power imaginable.

Don't let them get away with this -- the following link is a different document than the previous post. You'll have plenty to follow from there.

I officially declare Gov. Palin a dangerous choice, not merely an incompetent choice. (I say incompetent as opposed to untrained, because I saw what the mayor of Wasilla does (courtesy of Daily Show) and Palin's core beliefs are scary.) Assemblies of God beliefs Are scary.
