USA's Pact With Satan


Many people recall the video on which Barack Obama allegedly continually says "Thank you, Satan" backwards. I did not check but it was either bighting humor or possibly real soundbites - frightening if the latter.
Now there is a "proof" (further details here) by one Frank Schaeffer, who appears to be a Democrat and the son of a leading founder of the religious right. In an article entitled "Our very own pact with Satan", there is the following alleged proof that now the whole USA, not just the President, has haplessly entered a pact with Satan. To a Christian it is almost believable. I'm just going out to worship Lord Ganpathy. At least Ganpathy and his worshippers make sense.
"What else besides a punishment for a satanic pact could explain the following?...
    * Sarah Palin, who got a heartbeat from the presidency and who believes that health care reform means there will be death panels and that she needed to have witches cast out in a Pentecostal ceremony before she’d run for governor
    * A whole subculture of American rooting for the “End Times” and Armageddon
    * Pat Robertson who explained 9/11 and now the tragedy of the earthquake in Haiti, as results of God’s wrath and/or satanic dealings
    * Dick Cheney who betrays his country (and common decency) by saying our country is less safe because we have a Democrat for president
    * Rick Warren who coddled the “Christian” leaders in Uganda who want to kill gays (until Warren got called out and backtracked)
    * The “Family” and other Washington “Christian” groups working overtime to turn America into a theocracy
    * The evangelical hate machine working to deny gays their right to marry
    * The Roman Catholic hate machine aiding and abetting the evangelicals
    * Tea Party goofs who hate our government and think that “Hitler” is president
    * Private armies of murdering “Contractors” who are above the law
    * “Christians” attending the funerals of service men and women and screaming God hates fags and America
    * A bunch of Congressmen more loyal to their theology than to the Constitution of the United States
    * A military besieged by evangelical zealots trying to use the military chaplains and academies as an evangelistic spring board by “witnessing” to hapless soldiers
    * Tax free churches deforming American politics
    * Franklin Graham who is now taking the heretofore nonpartisan Billy Graham organization to the extreme hate-filled right, even getting old and out of it Billy to sign a letter endorsing Palin…"
IMO: I perhaps must stress that I do not agree with all the views, pro or con, expressed above, but it seems to explain what many Americans feel is the state of the nation.
