Palin: " "Hey, if it was good enough for God, it's good enough for me, for us."
Palin On Her Palm Notes: God Did It Too
Rachel Slajda | March 8, 2010, 9:39AM


When Sarah Palin wrote a few notes on her hand during her speech to a tea party convention last month, she was ridiculed by bloggers, comedians and White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. This weekend, she defended the notes at an Ohio pro-life fund-raiser, saying she was in good company.

A fan, she said, had sent her a biblical passage. Isaiah 49:16 reads: "See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me."

"Hey, if it was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it's good enough for me, for us. He says, in that passage he says, I wrote your name on the palm of my hand to remember you. And I'm like OK, I'm in good company," Palin said to laughter.

During her tea party convention speech, Palin had dismissed President Obama as a "charismatic guy with a teleprompter."

8. She's just letting us know how long the exposure of that palm thing has enraged her.
C'mon, Sarah, let it go. It wasn't a big deal a month ago, and the rest of us have moved on.

10. God apparently had a "cheat sheet" when he created the world...
I give him an "A+" for Nature

An "F" for Republicans

5. I've heard the occasional egomaniac compare themselves to Jesus before, but
this is first one I've seen that compared herself to god. Have you ever noticed that it's only the truly stupid who think so highly of themselves?

15. Wise Words...
"this is first one I've seen that compared herself to god. Have you ever noticed that it's only the truly stupid who think so highly of themselves?"
Very deep statement...have to remember this one when I get infuriated with people at church for being self righteous! Which of course will make me look self righteous...dang it just goes on and on doesn't it? I noticed that people like Palin aka Republicans ... go about their business as if they or their families never make mistakes or do anything wrong all the while pointing their fingers at everyone else...I just have to wonder what God is really thinking when these so called christians who are so wrapped up in themselves use the name of God or Jesus they make it into a 4 letter word. As one of the faithful I have to say keep God out of politics its much to filthy for God to be involved in! Don't ya think?

6. Isaiah 49:19 reads
Edited on Mon Mar-08-10 10:58 AM by Motown_Johnny
"Though you were ruined and made desolate
and your land laid waste,
now you will be too small for your people,
and those who devoured you will be far away."



I suppose if ruin and desolation were good enough for the Israelites then it is good enough for Americans.


This would explain most Republican policies.




Edit to add link, sorry

13. Once again proven, you can use the Bible to justify anything.
