Oh. It's code. I should have known.

Three independent data points:

1. Stephen Colbert's item from earlier this week of a bunch of clips of Sean Hannity, I think it was, saying "America is the greatest country God has ever given this earth." Over and over and over again.

2. Sarah Palin's "pro-America areas of this great Nation" quote.

3. This must-read article from today's NYTimes about Sarah Palin's association with "spiritual warriors", a segment of Pentacostals whose...

... adherents believe that demonic forces can colonize specific geographic areas and individuals, and that “spiritual warriors” must “battle” them to assert God’s control, using prayer and evangelism.... Russell P. Spittler, provost emeritus at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, Calif., and an eminent scholar of Pentecostalism, said, ... “Spiritual warfare makes a religion of identifying demons by names and ZIP codes.” [Emphasis added - AMG]

And I thought I was scared before.

Let us pray that they stick to prayer and evangelism. Reminds me of Voltaire's quote: "Those that can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

That's a great quote.
