The end times justify the means, or bearing false witness for Christ

By Frank Paynter | Published: October 5, 2008

I hope “Crash” McCain and Miss Alaska are listening to this, because I’d hate like hell to see them suffer eternal damnation for the way they’ve run their campaign. Crash and Miss Alaska court the vote of the great unwashed Jesusland voter, the cultists and faith-besotted unfortunates who, whether out of intellectual laziness, perverse passive [...]
