Hey, Kat, I've known a lot of Christian fundamentalists over the years, here and there, and they all talk the talk...but when the brass tacks are down are they ready to die unnecessarily in hopes of experiencing "the Rapture" and being delivered up joyfully to their God?



NO!!! (grin) They turn out to be surprisingly pragmatic, in fact.

It's mostly BS, spouted to impress one's peers, just like most of the BS that is spouted amongst other groups of people.

Sarah Palin's general manner suggests to me that she's a practical-minded ambitious go-getter who would do whatever she thinks will make her a success in the material world. McCain strikes me as a zealot who is obsessed with political and military confrontation.

But...but...isn't that a generalisation???? ;-)
