For what it's worth, Prophetic Words from God re The Obamanation of Desolation are a dime a dozen since the election. My writing partner (a burned-out pastor in rural PA) has had to use his "DON'T GO STUPID ON ME!" sermon a LOT since the election. My sister-in-law passed one to me about some neighbor of hers who claims God speaks to him on a regular basis; the post-election message from God was "Now My Judgment On This Land Begins".

Looks like for a lot of American Christians that wasn't a joke. Problem is, when you tie Christ to some political party or candidate, you tie Him to the ups and downs (and eventual obsolescence) of that party/candidate.

I mean, I see Palin being mythologized as The Great White Hope to save us from The Obamanation of Desolation just as Obama was mythologized during the primaries as The Great Black Hope to save us from The Clinton Royal Family. Also, when the Dems lost to Dubya in 2000, their response was to go Hard Left into Party Purity, Party Ideology, Party Loyalty, The Party, The Party, The Party. Is the GOP going to take a similar tack now that they're on the outs? What I don’t like is the ease at which many Christians tossed aside their strong anti-McCain feelings as if those feelings never existed.
