She is totally paranoid and delusional (obvious from the fact that she
says she sees Jesus and angels). Look at what she wrote here, she is
fighting the civil war with the south. hehehehehe:

"While we're still waiting for the media to acknowledge that the votes in
Florida were never really counted, or recounted (maybe they're slowly
working their way toward the truth, testing the water as they go), the
rest of us are waging a civil war against the "south." It is anyone's
guess just how long this civil war will last, or whether it will become
uncivil in the process. One thing is for sure, as in the past, there
are two distinct sides to this battle which is playing itself out once
again in the field of human rights. Apparently some people didn't learn
the lesson the first time so history is doomed to repeat itself."
