[quote=“MikeN”][quote=“Dr. McCoy”]Another one of McCain’s ‘spiritual guides’. Youtube of Rev. Rod Parsley. He says, “We get off on war!”
On one hand, McCain supporters willl say, “Well, McCain didn’t sit in his church for 20 years. He just sought his endorsement for political purposes.”
Then on the other hand they will say, “Well, Obama sat in that guy’s church for 20 years. The only reason he did it was for political purposes.”[/quote]
John McCain on his spiritual guide:
[quote]“I am very honoured today to have one of the truly great leaders in America, a moral compass, a spiritual guide, Pastor Rod Parsley…I am very grateful you are here.”
And now, the great moral compass himself:
"I do not believe that our nation can truly fulfill its divine purpose until we understand our historical conflict with Islam....I know that this statement sounds extreme. But I am not shrinking back from its implications The fact is that...America was founded in part with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed[/quote]
As Kevin Drum notes in the link, he’s linking to al-Jazeera’s story on this. Broadcasting to hundreds of millions of Muslims that John McCain’s spiritual guide and moral compass says that America’s purpose is to see Islam wiped off the face of the Earth.[/quote]
If America was founded with the intent of wiping out some specific religion you have to wonder why the founders put separation of church and state first among the amendments to the U.S. Constitution. I’d say somebody has “lost his bearings” pretty badly on the concept.
