		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;What her pastor has to do with anything is a mystery beyond me.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And the rest of us. She must think bringing a pastor in is some sort of trump card. A man of god agrees with me, I must be right.</description>

		<description>They were talking about her on CNN and Prejean and her pastor were denying that she wasn&#039;t fulfilling her duties and kept insisting they had a good relationship with the beauty pageant people and claimed she was being persecuted for her beliefs.  What her pastor has to do with anything is a mystery beyond me.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I’m not understanding why this is getting so much coverage on an atheist site. Sneering at this one woman as she stumbles her way to the bottom is petty and rather disgusting. It’s certainly not friendly.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I think it&#039;s the way she promoted herself as being very principled and that&#039;s how she justified her hair brained bigotry.  This is an interesting footnote to the whole debacle.  She is only principled when it is convenient to her.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Palin / Prejean 2016&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It would have to be Palin / Prejean 2024
She won&#039;t be old enough (for president) till then. 

There is always the house.  Perhaps she will run for California&#039;s 8th district.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt; To them, if you’re as fundamentalist as they are, the rules don’t apply to you.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No, I don&#039;t think that&#039;s quite it. I think that their belief is a bit more like this:
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rules are for people I don&#039;t like.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I say that because fundamentalists seem to have no problem with eating their own. They&#039;ll gleefully kick another fundamentalist when they&#039;re down, and &lt;em&gt;love&lt;/em&gt; to jump all over anyone they perceive as breaking the rules in any way, because then they can be all holier-than-thou at them, and they know that mostly another fundamentalist will take it and flog themselves, or leave the church in which case those who denounced them can &lt;em&gt;REALLY&lt;/em&gt; feel morally superior. 

It&#039;s just that they all seem to believe that they personally are exempt. And this exemption carries over to anyone they find it convenient to give it to.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Too bad. I thought that her silicon fluid bags were doing so much to promote heterosexuality and Christianity. But hey, being a beauty queen, she’s on career track for governor and vice president, so who knows, 2016, perhaps? Before her looks fade too much?
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Palin / Prejean 2016 &quot;Don&#039;t hate us because we&#039;re beautiful.&quot;</description>
