O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee.
Has Chris Matthews heard America the Beautiful lately? What could be more broadly acceptable than to suggest that God has blessed America with many riches? But when Sarah Palin expressed that sentiment in a speech today, Chris Matthews mocked her.
With Michelle Bernard of the Independent Women's Forum and Joan Walsh of Salon in as guests, Matthews played a clip of Palin giving a speech on energy today in Ohio in which, discussing oil independence, Palin said: "God has so richly blessed our land with the supplies that we need." That set Matthews off.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Well there you have the evangelical and the energy together: God's blessed us with energy supplies. I mean, not that He didn't.Walsh can be see chuckling. After she dismissed the speech as "pedestrian," Bernard praised it. Matthews then returned to his religious inquisition, addressing himself to Bernard.
MATTHEWS: Where do fundamentalists stand? I'm not sure if you're a fundamentalist, but where do they stand on the creation of oil? Didn't oil get created by, fossil fuels, by millions of years ago in the ground or come about because of organic growth and then decay, and the generation, the creation of coal? Does anybody believe it was, the coal that's on the earth right now was created in the last three or four thousand years, as was written in the Bible, literally? Does anyone believe that? I guess they must.If Matthews meant it—and wasn't just covering himself—when he piously appended "not that He didn't" to his opening comment about evangelicals believing God blessed us with energy supplies, then what was the point of the rest of his rant?
MICHELLE BERNARD: I have absolutely no idea. Maybe Sarah Palin does. I don't know, Chris.
MATTHEWS: I'm just curious about how these -- I know Joan you're giggling because you wonder how all these things work together in this ideological symmetry. You have a religious belief that goes in one direction, and your politics goes in the same direction. I just wonder whether anybody ever compares notes in these two categories. Like oil was put here as a blessed event, but maybe it was put here millions of years ago, and if so, let's reconsider some of our literary interpretations these days. Go ahead.
WALSH [tongue-in-cheek]: When she comes on Hardball, I look forward to you getting to the bottom of that. All of those questions. It's going to be great.
MATTHEWS: Well, we don't usually get into scriptural interpretation here, but we'll do the Dead Sea Scrolls should she ever show, I promise, because the chances of me getting Sarah Palin in the next week are as good as me finding more of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
In any case, guess we shouldn't be surprised by Matthews's outburst. He does, after all, support the candidate who for twenty years sat in the pews of a preacher who said "No, no, no! Not God bless America. God damn America!"
Bonus Coverage: Walsh Goes Biden
Joan Walsh, in the video clip here, on Palin's Ohio speech:
If that's the sort of thing you like, you're going to like it.
Keith Olbermann, on Palin's RNC speech:
People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like.
How's This For Irony? Obama opened his infomercial tonight with this image of . . . amber waves of grain! Maybe Matthews will open tomorrow's show by wondering whether Obama was sending a "subliminable" evangelical message.
Oh no! Later in the infomercial, Obama shows a father 
reading a prayer to his daughter, thanking God for making "the stars up above." Get on this, Chris! We could be electing a dangerous fanatic here ;-)
Aside: Just noticed that, along with a morning post, this item makes twice today that I've used "Matthews Mocks" in a headline. Guess that makes me an avid adulator of alliteration, and Matthews a most mocking man ;-)

October 29, 2008 - 18:57 ET by HockeyKidIt's amazing how ignorant these "intelligentsia" are when it comes to American history and Christianity. I can imagine the look on Matthews' face on judgment day, when God shows him the truth and says, "Yes, Chris, I did bless America--and on purpose, too. Now I have only one question for you: why should I let you in?"

Why we sit here atop this abundance has more to do with our ancestors quest for something better than something magically embedded after we arrived.

i dont know what God said
October 29, 2008 - 21:48 ET by dark_dsi dont know what God said for sure .... but I think the issue we are talking about is what is the problem with Palin stating God blessed us with natural resources? .... it really isnt a statement that should be drawing Matthews or anybodys ire .. if she had said that God only loves America and especially white Americans then Matthews would have an issue to whine about ...... I am not picking on Matthews Catholic faith but he has a problem with what he thinks are Palins beliefs are or how he extrapolates them to be from her statement but he probbaly goes to Mass and takes communion and believes that Jesus is the wafer and that he is actually consuming Jesus's flesh... once again I am not judging what Matthews faith is ... I am saying who in the hell is he to judge Palins faith ....Balboa you seem very intelligent ... you must see that this is the issue that I and others are having with Matthews ... He is flat out in love with Obama and will say or do anything to help his cause ....there is no integrity in his actions

Why is God a dirty word?
October 29, 2008 - 23:23 ET by MazziWhy is God a dirty word? That makes me sick, and I am a Buddhist! I say "God bless you" to my Christian friends, and I hold hands with my Christian family as they say grace, and bless our food in Jesus's name. My husband is Agnostic, and he holds hands too.
I really don't get it. I guess I am tolerant of anyone's faith, so long as they are not hypocritical about.
It's kind of like this - my daughter's best friend is a Muslim, and when she comes for dinner, I don't make pork chops. Duh. But if out of ignorance, I did put pork on her plate, I expect that she would just put it to the side of her plate and not eat it. That, in my opinion, is how normal people handle issues.
So you don't believe in God? Then shut up and don't believe - but don't mock people who do.

I totally agree with you ... my biggest point of being ticked at Matthews is he is a Catholic but mocks someone elses faith not for any kind of spiritual discussion but just in an attempt to further destroy Palins credibility ... if Matthews was an atheist it would still be wrong to do what he did but at least it wouldnt smack of hypocrisy
Bal, don't worry, be happy...

31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

I for the most really dont care .....see Matthews thinks its odd and implies its somewhat dangerous for her to believe that God blessed this country but apparently he doesnt find it dangerous or odd for Obama to go to a church for twenty years led by afro centric racist who preached racial divison, victimhood, crap about that the white man created aids, and that pastor was friends with another hater Louis Farrakahn ... he doesnt find that is dangerous or should be an issue for the electorate but Palin having a positive belief that God has blessed this country with resources is an issue .....

Democrats are saying Palin thinks babies are wonderful how could she understand the 'Baby Mistakes' Obama talks about and leaving those mistakes that survive abortions to die alone crying in terror.
Democrats are saying Palin has worked at real jobs, how could she understand the plight of Obama who has never had a 'real job'.
Democrats are saying Palin might bring real values to America not the phony ones they believe in - Democrats are afraid!
Why Obama supporters are attacking Gov Palin
October 29, 2008 - 19:48 ET by Retired GeekObama associate and supporter, Tom Hayden explains why the Barack Obama camp, Marxists, Socialists and othe nefarious Obama supporters, are attacking Sarah Palin.
------------------------------------------------
By Tom Hayden
Progressives for Obama
"September 13, 2008 - A principle reason for Progressives For Obama is so that we can say things that the Obama campaign cannot or will not say.
This is one of those times.
Sarah Palin is a mortal threat to the possibility of Obama winning. The reason is simple: if she can add a couple of points to McCain from defecting white women and the newly-energized right wing religious base without losing more independent votes, McCain pulls ahead in some key states."
Who is Tom Hayden?
------------------
The Former SDS president Tom Hayden.
Michael Klonsky (former blogger on the Barack Obama official website) remembers Hayden plotting to spread nails on a highway; another SDS leader recalls Hayden encouraging activists to firebomb police cars.
Tom Hayden's former wife:
"I would think that if you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communists."

Mis-Information Media
October 29, 2008 - 20:14 ET by Hooterville DenizenTime after time, the Mis-Informers show us that to be a national "reporter" means to mis-lead Americans and say whatever is needed to keep themselves on the "A" list with the cocktail party set.
Keep drinking, clowns. Millions of Americans believe in judging people "by the content of their character." It's easy in your case. You have no character.
Chris Matthews you really don't want to do this
October 29, 2008 - 20:42 ET by Lame CherrySeveral years ago, Tom Daschle buddy, Tim Johnson buddy and Barack Hussein Obama buddy, Tony Dean, wrote me an email threatening me.
It was something about him tracking me down and getting me.
At the time, my signature was God bless the good. A quite Christian thing to do as what could be better in America than to bless the good in America as it benefits all.
Tony Dean went nuts on that and other financial things I was inquiring about.
He informed me contrary to what God says that God doesn't have time for Senate elections as God is too busy or whatever Tony Dean messiah rantings came up with to back his liberal.
I watched Tony Dean with interest these past years in his mocking God. He lost his outdoor program, the people of the Midwest despised him and he was a basic pariah.
This campaign season, he announced he was forming sportsmen for Obama.
As of October 21st, he had a simple appendix operation and on the 21st returned home and died.
I don't care what liberals rant on about the above or what people state as to the above story. I do care enough about Chris Matthews as a person to inform him not to go around mocking God.
God gave America great resources and Gov. Palin is one of them in His very obedient child. God is not mocked and just like in Daniel, His Name is on Sarah Palin, so God indeed does take great interest in her as attacks on her are attacks God looks upon as Himself.
God can do what He wills as He doesn't need me fighting His fight. I do though in responsibility warn Chris Matthews that what he has been doing and what he has just done is immensely a very bad thing in what he has initiated.
Liberals have released a whole lot of things they will answer for. That is no threat. That is a literal promise from God. As He says, "Who is going to prosecute Me for these doings?"
I stand back, bless God and Sarah Palin and believe as I have seen God rectify situations numerous times and I always marvel at God, becasue He comes up with things in avenging His Name in ways that are pure from the book of Esther.
God bless you Chris Matthews and may you repent in Jesus Name Amen.

So, Matthews agreed with Sarah Palin before he mocked her??
Someone at the helm of MSNBC was taking out the trash one day and noticed Chris Matthews in the dumpster and said 'hey, let's get him to host hardball'. Idiots!

The American Woman
October 30, 2008 - 09:08 ET by Retired GeekThe world was fighting for its life during World War II.
Madmen had declared War against humanity and were intent on destroying freedom and any man, woman or child that stood in the way.
Most women were homemakers and few knew how to work in factories and weld and create tanks and armaments.
Their husbands, fathers, brothers and neighbors were fighting this evil and many were dying everyday.
These soldiers needed supplies and equipment and almost every able bodied man was in another land fighting for all they held dear.
Women by the millions, volunteered to work and make the equipment and supplies that were so desperately needed.
Women had to work hard and learn fast, to save their men and Country.
The female pilots of WW2, who throughout the war, and at great risk to their safety, ferried bombers across the Atlantic to replenish those lost over Europe.
Women had to manage long exhausting hours and still take care of the family.
Women like Sarah Palin, took charge and scrimped and did without, with little thought for themselves.
God Bless the American Woman!
