"A New Hampshire candidate for the state house is taking heat from the state Republican Party after he wrote on a Facebook thread that he wishes former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and the father of her grandson were in the plane crash that killed former Sen. Ted Stevens in Alaska on Monday," writes Alex Pappas at The Daily Caller.

Pappas continues: 

“Just wish Sarah and Levy (sic) were on board,” wrote Keith Halloran, a Democratic candidate for Cheshire County House District 7, referencing Palin and Levi Johnston, the on-again, off-again boyfriend of her daughter.

One of the reasons we have checks and balances in the U.S. Constitution is that the Founders took seriously the Creator's realism about human beings. You too may have noticed: Humanity is great, but not always are pure as the wind-driven snow.

It is because of the imperfect condition of humanity, due to our own choices, that we who respect freedom must take care not to allow others to gain unlimited power in governance. 

Take a hint: There's a reason dictators and other "messiahs" love the consolidation and centralization of power.

Most would no doubt agree that no government at any level should be occupied by people of hate who "just wish Sarah and Levy (sic) were on board."

But if a hater of humanity does win an election, in a system of checks and balances, the damage that such a person can wreak upon others, and upon societal institutions, can be more or less minimimized.

Of course, the opposite is true. If suddenly you have an unlimited "living" Constitution, of the kind preached by secularists such as Barack Obama, the damage that can be imposed by those in office high or low is significant indeed. 

The more utopian, popular, and powerful the latest and greatest messiah, the more hellish life on earth becomes. Lose the Founder's realism based on information from the Creator and you are well down the road to losing your republic.

Watch the news tonight and you'll see what I mean.
