* * PALIN--THE MOST DANGER not being discussed * *

Doctrine can be very dangerous in a public official. "When It is G-ds Will" to do something then all your opponents become evil, and this justifies great evil.

The Best Defence is an Offense of knowing the scriptures more than them combined with profound honesty. This undermines mysticism and unlocks the prison doors holding them captive in the anti-civilization.

The verse you were looking for is in Isaiah 3.

Isaiah 3: 12---
Youths oppress my people,
women rule over them.
O my people, your guides lead you astray;
they turn you from the path.

..The LORD enters into judgment
against the elders and leaders of his people:
“It is you who have ruined my vineyard;
the plunder from the poor is in your houses.

YOU HAVE NOT BROUGHT ANY KANEH (Cannabis) FOR ME, OR LAVISHED ON ME THE FAT OF YOUR SACRIFICES. BUT YOU HAVE BURDENED ME WITH YOUR SINS AND WEARIED ME WITH YOUR OFFENCES.

ISAIAH 43:23-24

"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." - Plato

I watched the video, and I must say that my reaction is not nearly as negative as many here. Here comments about God's will in Iraq was not a statement that it was God's will, but rather that what our country did there would be God's will. There is a big difference there. I may have doctrinal differences with her particular denomination, but I have differences with nearly every denomination as I am sure they have differences with me. The key is where she stands in the fundamentals of the gospel -- like those listed in the Apostle's Creed.

This video demonstrates that her faith does play very strongly into her actions which is not a bad thing! I want someone who is genuine and whose faith shines throughout their life. This after all is what also intrigued me about Ron Paul: his political views are shaped by his Biblical worldview. Behind all of his political views, you can see evidence of his faith.

One important thing to note here is that Christianity is not inherently political, and you cannot say that any particular political issue is decisively Christian. The argument of big government versus little government is a good example. You will find that there have been solid Christians on both sides of the argument. However, behind them all you will see a common faith that values the lives of individuals (created in the image of God), honesty (You shall not bear false witness), and justice.

All of that being said, I still have serious concerns about Palin. My biggest fear of any new politician is how will they handle the temptations of power. Ron Paul has resisted well in his 20 years in congress all the while rejecting lobbyist bribes and the government pension program. Palin has had very little experience with such things. However, she has shown a propensity to sacrifice her family for the sake of her political career as evidenced by her daughter's pregnancy. I am also concerned that she continues to advance her political career when she has a special needs child at home.

Quite honestly, I have not reached any conclusions on Palin yet. There is a part of me that wonders if she may very well be someone through whom this revolution could gain access to the White House. She does have very strong conservative values, and she has supported liberty minded people like Buchanan in the past. If she can stay true to her roots and reject the siren call of power, she may very well be a sign of hope, at least in politics. If.

She is right about one thing in her speech: the changes that need to take place really require a transformation of the hearts and minds of the people of this country. We need revival and repentance, an acknowledgment of our guilt in abandoning the law of God (or even just the Constitution for those of you who do not believe in God) and a desire to return to the path of justice and righteousness. I think everyone one of us would agree that liberty, truth, and justice should be the ruling principles of our country, but too many people, Christians and non, in this country have allowed compromise to take us away from that.

Is Palin worth supporting? I am trying to stay open-minded about this as I consider the pros and cons, but I am inclined to say "no". I could not make myself vote for McCain in 2000, so why I should I vote for him now?

Still, she gives me some pause, and I will be prayerfully considering what course of action I should take. I will grant McCain this: he has made this election a lot more interesting.

But I like her. A lot. A grass roots conservative who has made it to the big stage. This women is an Alaskan. Those people up there have fierce independent/liberty streaks. I'm telling y'all, she is one of us.

Too bad she is not at the top of the ticket. I can't vote for McCain/Palin unless it is revealed that McCain is terminally ill between now and election day.

And regarding the accusations etc... being thrown about and slung by liberals like Huffington and the MSM. Its what they do when they fear somebody. I don't trust any of it and neither should any patriot. When our own Ron Paul was making a bunch of noise early on in the primaries, the same was done to him regarding the news letters; and if he had made it through as the nominee??? the liberals, socialists, and statists would have been all over him w/ a vengeance as well; assassinating his character, misrepresenting and distorting his record and personal history whenever possible. Its who they are and how they operate. The politics of personal destruction.

"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'." -- Ronald Reagan

Republicans talk a good game about cutting taxes, advancing liberty, and protecting Americans, but in the end, they are neocons. Palin is an attractive candidate who delivers a good speech and has praised Ron Paul, but unfortunately she is showing herself as a neocon shill.

Hoping that McCain loses big, that the third parties register surprisingly high numbers, that the Republicans do some deep soul searching, and that the Ron Paulites stay fired up to step into the vacuum when things go south under Obama. God bless.

the source of her pro-Iraq war issue is to be found with certain church denominations, that influence some in the Religious Right. They are the ones that follow Bush uncritically. The neocons misuse them. Dr. Paul could be able to persuade her in a few sessions/meetings/discussions. Dr. Paul would not have selected her if he was the nominee, he would probably have selected people with more experience and vetted, like gov. Gary Johnson or Mark Sanford.

She has potential for the future, but still too young and inexperienced. If McCain-Palin would win, one is skeptical that she would be able to have any influence on John McCain's philosophy. In the debates and interviews the differences between McCain and Palin's policies may be exposed.

I watched the footage of Palin speaking to the master's group at her church. While on the one hand I think she may have been urging prayer that God's will be done and that God guide the US, its leaders and its troops, it seems like she had already decided that God was in favor of her pipeline project.

I'm an agnostic ex-catholic but also a very sporadic visitor to a wide variety of churches, so I'm confident in saying you will find Palin's kind of talk in many churches. I don't consider it extreme or beyond the pale. It doesn't creep me out. Many people are prayerful in church but have more worldly motivations the rest of the week.

I think a study of Palin's record will be far more indicative of what she is likely to do in office than what she has uttered in church.

THANK YOU. God's curse over the nation for disobedience became that the 'young' and 'women' will rule over you. Making a grand mess while at it. Oh...I am a woman

want america to prosper tell palin her place and tell her to stay in it> its not that women are less important or intelligent . they dont prosper their and neither do we...I am a Man.

They just said on CNN that one of Sarah Palin's heroes is Ron Paul. That she really admires him, his policies and thinks he's really cool. There just might be hope for her. :-)
