Sarah the Christian Scholar Palin

Here's what Sarah Palin said on Sean Hannity's show on Fox Wednesday night -

"No administration in America's history would, I think, ever have considered such a step that we just found out President Obama is supporting today.

It's kinda like getting out there on a playground, a bunch of kids, getting ready to fight, and one of the kids saying, 'Go ahead, punch me in the face and I'm not going to retaliate. Go ahead and do what you want to with me.'"

Gee Miss I'm-All-About-Christian-Values, why does that sound so familiar? Maybe the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:38-39) -

"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also."

Nothing annoys me more than "Christian" politicians who don't know the first thing about Christ. Most Christian scholars regard the Sermon on the Mount as the core of Christ's message and while the Bible may contain many sayings attributed to Jesus for various political reasons, the Sermon on the Mount is probably the best of example of what we can be reasonably certain Jesus actually said. I'm a Buddhist and I know more about Christ's teaching than these bozos. Sheesh, try reading a book.
