Sarah Palin on Brexit:

[joshcryer]

No comment.

1. Oh no, did you have to bring this crass person tonight!

She is history!

[joshcryer]

2. Just thought it was funny that she was such an anti-globalist.

I'm sure she'll be calling for closing the tax loopholes any time now.

[pampango]

3. The far-right are all anti-globalists. They see a liberal One World Government everywhere they look.

Obamatrade.com kind of ties the far-right perspective on globalism all together.

[joshcryer]

4. Except, for some odd reason, they won't close the tax loopholes that enable it.

Funny how that works.

[Hortensis]

10. Many like her believe the wealthy are

mostly fine, worthy people (or why would God be showering blessings on them?) who are assisting God's cause in a variety of ways, including funding their ministries and vacations and battling the forces of evil on the left.

And yet... When God's dominion is established here on earth, He will deal with the unrighteous wealthy by relieving them of both their illusions of grandiosity and their wealth, which will be distributed among the humble people. Or something like that. It varies of course.

Funny, all right. The seeming collision of admiration and spite (in some) is interesting.

5. Refreshed spirit of sovereignty?

jurisdiction, rule, supremacy, dominion, power, ascendancy, suzerainty, hegemony, domination, authority, control, influence. . . .

Refreshed spirit of dominion? Of hegemony? Of domination?

I still cannot believe she earned a journalism degree.

[BlueMTexpat]

13. They likely gave her a degree -

any degree - just to get her to go away!

John McCain has a LOT to answer for.

6. "America can learn an encouraging lesson from this"

Alaxit? Texit?

[Wise Child]

7. Yesterday, I was browsing the Rapture Ready forums

looking for stymied responses about the Brexit vote. It's all about anticipation for the End Times at Rapture Ready, silly me. The Rapture Ready-ites had already re-adjusted the goal posts. Talking themselves through subjective interpretations of the Book of Daniel.

Earlier this week, I was thinking that if Brexit passes, it would really take the wind out of the sails of the apocalyptic prophecy nuts.

8. I'll never forget in college, one guy saying this father

believed that the EU was the anti-Christ. Couldn't quite figure out how they would base that. But that crowd would definitely see it this way.

My guess was they were afraid the EU would be as big as the US and become as influential and that would be bad for 'Merica.

[Wise Child]

12. Many of them do think that the EU will

be the seat of authority for the Anti-Christ, being technical here. Tim LaHaye created a roman-a-clef of Nicolae Ceauşescu, in the form of a fictional UN Secretary General as the Anti-Christ in the Left Behind novels. The United Nations isn't as powerful as the European Union, therefore End Timers have in recent years have been pointing at the EU.

They claim that the Bible talks of a revived Roman Empire, thus the contempt for the European Union.

[treestar]

17. Interesting

Haven't read those novels, but it would shed an interesting light on their craziness!

[NastyRiffraff]

11. EVERYTHING "proves" the Rapture is a-comin'

Everything. They're very good at twisting things to show the Rapture is almost here...no, really, it IS this time! And of course they'll be among the 144,000 sucked into heaven. That's 144,000 out of all the people, living and dead, who were ever born.

As for Palin, her words are already twisted, so they don't have far to go.

[treestar]

9. As usual she has no clue what she is talking about

The UN and the EU are not at all comparable.

[Jamaal510]

14. Knowing her,

she'd name one of her kids "Brexit".

[treestar]

18. Thread win!

[bettyellen]

21. Ha!

[Lord Magus]

15. Palin always brings the stupid. -nt-

[oasis]

16. Palin: leading vote getter for Hypocrite of the Last Decade.

[B Calm]

19. Just because Brexit sounds like something she would name one of her kids

is the only reason she's for it. She ain't kidding no one!

[joshcryer]

20. Let me know when these anti-globalists are against tax loopholes.

I'll then maybe believe they're not totally full of shit.

Look at the UK, in Brexit's case, you can damn well guarantee the neoliberals are hoping for Swedish style secretive banking to arise.
