The VP Candidates Family

PALIN IS A DOMINIONIST

Dominionism, very simply, is the belief that Jesus will put Christians in charge of the world after the apocalypse, before he returns to rapture the believers.

Dominionists believe that it is their sacred duty to assume the reigns of government now, so they will be in place to rule the earth.

Mainstream Christians consider this "theology" to be heresy. There is no biblical instruction to Christians to rule the earth.

I hope each of you will do some research on Dominionism to understand just how frightening and extreme it is. Sarah is following the plan. Start with the PTA, then the mayoral office, then ......


John Allen of the National Catholic Reporter has an interesting take:
The initial confusion surrounding Palin's denominational identity, therefore, has a simple explanation: She doesn't have one.
Instead, Palin appears to be part of that rapidly expanding galaxy of "post-denominational" Christianity, where elements of Evangelical and Pentecostal styles of faith and worship fuse into a myriad of unique local combinations, and where old denominational loyalties are essentially dead.

Bob Smietana, the religion writer for The Tennessean, has been exchanging e-mails with me as we both set out on the hunt. He says: "Looks like she's a charismatic, or charismatic leaning, if her home congregation is Church on The Rock.
Her mom apparently goes to church here." Read Bob's story here.

If Bob is right, she'd be the first Charismatic on a ticket, I think? Whether or not she categorizes herself as such?

What about her politics? Damn it!

Agreed. Her stance on issues, how strongly she may attempt to push personal views as part of Governmental law, how she fits into the plan of the McCain political machine.... I'm rather tired of hearing about her daughters sex life. We didn't hear so many questions regarding Biden, and we have a long records of proven lies and plagiarism to look at.

Most of what's being said of Palin is speculation. The truth will come out during the campaign if she is as big a liar as many are suggesting. It's common place to submit personal medical history documents during the campaign process for both Praz and VP candidates. How many children she's really had WILL come out. If Trig is hers or her daughters will also come out. If it comes out later it'll hurt the McCain Pres chances more. If everything that's being said now isn't true, then, that will also come out.

We're becoming a society that thinks it's OK to consider someone not even on trial guilty until proven innocent. Is this some kind of grooming for completely accepting a legal change to that kind of system? Guilty until proven beyond a reasonable doubt? 'Cause so far, many have not only put Sarah on trial and convicted but also her daughter. What is this? A witch burning?



Seems like these are her own constituents blogging about Palin and asking for her impeachment or resignation....go figure...

OpEd News Article -- Good article pointing out that it wasn't just an ordinary speech in Texas that was so important to Sarah Palin in April 2008. It was a closed-door meeting with a select few.

Here's the better question: What was SO important in Texas that Sarah Palin would risk the life of her newborn baby with Down Syndrome?

Sarah Palin and the Closed Door Energy Forum where Her Water Broke

by Barbara Bellows-TerraNova Page 1 of 1 page(s)

It did not take long for people to discover the strange circumstances surrounding the birth of Sarah Palin’s youngest child, Trig, widely reported to be a Down Syndrome baby.

Ms. Palin only revealed that she was pregnant one month before his birth, when she was in her 7th month, and in the midst of a very busy schedule, with recent trips to Washington, DC and Los Angeles. She bragged about going back to work as a Mayor the day after giving birth to her daughter, Piper, and, sure enough, in April, when Trig was born, she was back in her office in three days (it might have been earlier, but this birth was on a Friday, so there was a weekend following).

That is enough to make many of us squirm, but it gets much stranger when we learn that Governor Palin’s water broke while she was attending an energy forum in Texas on Thursday, April 17th, but that she stayed for the event, made her own 30 minute speech, and then, rather than going to a hospital, she chose to board an Alaska Airlines plane for what must have been at least a 9 hour flight, according to their current schedule, then drove another 43 miles to give birth at the Mat Su Regional Medical Center in Palmer, Alaska.


Her choice to not respond to her water breaking has led to an internet uproar at www.BuzzFlash.com and elsewhere, especially regarding her priorities, her decisions, her parenting, and her character. . . But to me, they’re missing the point.

I return to the question of why Sarah Palin was chosen by McCain, especially when he hadn’t even spent any time with her?

The reasons can't be good. And, in truth, the reasons aren't just his. At one time in his life, McCain may have been his own man, but that time has passed. He is in the hands of Rove and Cheney's people, or he wouldn't be where he is today. They may not be thrilled with the candidate they got, but given the other choices of a flipflopping Mormon, an evangelist, or a lazy actor, McCain appeared to be the most electable. So they picked up from his failing campaign, dusted him off, and assigned their people to him as consultants. They settled, and so did he, and he is cooperating.

So, now we have a vice presidential candidate who came out of nowhere.

No, not nowhere -- Alaska. Where Ted Stevens is old and busted - so the oil companies can't use him any more.

But Sarah Palin? Oh my. Known for that odd combination of being both a Christian and a bully, and for her support of giving up both the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and polar bears, she fits the Bush/Cheney/McCain transition perfectly.
In this light, I ask,

"What was she doing in Texas that was so important that she couldn’t leave, and that she didn’t want to highlight by giving birth in Texas?"

Reported to be a "forum on energy with Texas Gov. Rick Perry and executives from four other states", it took a little digging to find that this forum was a closed-door affair hosting a select group of nine Republican governors and such notable corporate energy VIPS (and polluters) as Greg Boyce, chairman and CEO of the Peabody Energy Corp.; John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil; Robert A. Malone, chairman and president, BP America; Anthony Orlando, president and CEO, Covanta Energy Corp.; and John Somerhalder II, chairman and CEO, AGL Resources.

It is important, too, to understand that the host, Governor Rick Perry, is the governor neatly trained to take Bush's spot in the Texas Governor's mansion. Before that, Perry defeated Jim Hightower for Texas Agricultural Commissioner with the help of Karl Rove and his scurilous tactics.

Perry is also the father of Dick Cheney's son-in-law, the lawyer Phillip Perry, who has bounced back and forth for the last several years between lobbying for Lockheed Martin and working for the White House. His wife, Elizabeth Cheney, though a mother of five herself, is a hawk for attacking Iran and has worked in the Bush Cheney State Department.

So, while the pregnancy story does bring up questions about Sarah Palin's character and priorities, I still think the far more relevant information for voters is what was going on behind closed doors in Texas that day?

This is what we deserve to know.

Thanks for this link, it is IMPORTANT.

Also note that Todd Palin was probably in the meeting too, as other posted links have stated that he SITS IN on all kinds of very important Alaska policy meetings and apparently has a lot of influence . . . that's pretty weird too . . .

...the same party that's relying on the feminist vote to carry them through what shapes to be a tight election. The feminist vote that's already shaky because of an ugly, drawn-out power struggle between Clinton and Obama.

...Hope you don't alienate too many feminists along the way, but hey, you don't need their votes right?

Palin is such a terrible governor you don't even have to attack her family and personal issues. What McCain has done in picking Palin as VP is one of the most irresponsible, disgusting things i have ever seen in politics. Capt Heart attack putting the country at extreme risk for the purpose of a gimmick to attract Hiliary supporters is pretty much criminal. There were other women to put on the republican ticket, why they would pick Palin and put the country in danger like this is beyond me.
