In the days of the judges of Israel, Israel had turned their backs repeatedly on the Law of Moses and the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses (Deut. 31:29, Judges 2:6-11). When they followed these absolutes of time and ETERNITY (which was almost NEVER) they were blessed and prospered by the hand of the Lord (Judges 4-5).
"The consequences of this lawless departure led to the break down of society and to the chastening hand of the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses"
During one particular time when Ehud - a godly man, deliverer and judge of the Lord - died, the righteous influence and moral restraint rapidly dissipated and lawlessness began to sweep throughout the land (Judges 4:1). The consequences of this lawless departure led to the break down of society and to the chastening hand of the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses (Deut. 28-32, Lev. 26, Judges 4:1-2, Gal. 6:7). As they reaped their consequences and the tyranny that followed they began to wake up and cry out unto the Lord for deliverance from their self inflicting doings (Judges 4:3).
Since -at this time - there were NO men who were strong godly leaders to judge the people of Israel, God rose up a courageous and godly women named Deborah to fill the gap (Judges 4:4,8-9, 5:7). As the judge and “mother” of Israel, Deborah rallied the nation and the men who were of understanding to defeat their oppressive enemy of twenty years by the hand of the God of Israel and restored justice and soundness to the nation from their oppressors (Judges 5:2). This woman with her love for the sound absolutes of Almighty God - which were found in the 10 commandments and in the Law of Moses - helped deliver the nation of Israel and for a time set them back on the road to recovery and soundness for forty years (Judges 5:31).
America’s Deborah
Much like the days of Deborah, we here in America seem to have the same settings and lawless crisis sweeping throughout our land at an exponential rate. There truly has not been a great American conservative (socially and fiscally) leader in this land since Ronald Reagan, some 25 years ago).
"What America so desperately needs more than ever is one who has the same God fearing, moral compass and vision that our founding fathers had at the birth of this nation"
What America so desperately needs more then ever is one who has the same God fearing, moral compass and vision that our founding fathers had at the birth of this nation. How many individuals in this nation today who hold political office out right REJECT our founding father's Judeo/Christian values, vision and understanding of what has made America great these last 235 years? There are not many men with courage, who are fearless, who posses sound moral conviction, boldness, passion, understanding of our day and the leadership to bring us back to the place of blessing and to the sound health of American values, which were based NOT on lawlessness, but on the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God!
There is only one that I know of who possess all of these qualities and who is from the heartland of these great United States. This one is not from the "Ivy League" palaces of academia. This one rejects secularism, lawlessness, socialism, progressivism and elitism. Absolutes are NOT relevant. Morality CANNOT be explained away for licentiousness. Lawlessness can NEVER bring harmony only anarchy. America has indeed apostatized from the original intent of the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Constitutional apostates have ruled the land these last 70 years and with them they bring social tyranny, injustice, violence, death, lawlessness, oppression, licentiousness, fiscal tyranny, anarchy and ruin (Isa. 1:9). It has finally taken the near social and fiscal collapses of this nation to stir up Americans and to see our desperate need to fight and to take back their country from those who fundamentally oppose all that our founders intended.
"It has finally taken the near social and fiscal collapses of this nation to stir up Americans and to see our desperate need to fight and to take back their country from those who fundamentally oppose all that our founders intended"
Out of the midst of our nation has risen many - but one in particular - whose love for God and country has placed her on the center stage of the 2012 Presidential election. One who the masses of common folk greatly respect and admire. One who has become a “mother” in these United States of America in an hour of crisis. One who has the vision and passion that our founders once possessed. And finally, one who has a fear of Almighty God to govern her and to do the right thing in these last days of America. Whether Sarah will run in 2012 or not nobody knows, but just her presence these last few years has fired up the true American spirit and has rallied the masses to stand and take their country back.
"One to whom the masses of common folk greatly respect and admire. One who has become a “mother” in these United States of America"
It is in times like these that the remnant – to whom possess the true spirit of America and its founding - of masses cry out to the God of George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Rush – who all possessed a saving relationship to Almighty God – that Almighty God in His kindness may show this nation a little of His grace and mercy before the "Day of the Lord" arrives! We whose nation’s motto is, “In God Do We Trust”!
Sarah Palin is that leader in whom God has seemed to have risen up to stand for the vision that our founders once possessed. She (Sarah) possesses all of the founding father's American qualities and is the right leader for the right time.
"She (Sarah) possesses all of the founding father's American qualities and is the right leader for the right time"
The sunset is going down fast on America and "the Day of the Lord" will soon be at hand. May it be that Almighty God will grant this nation a little more space so that His Word may continue to go out and that the masses of American people would repent and fully turn to Him (Rom. 2:4).
The trumpet may blow at any time, but while we are here waiting the Lord’s soon return, may we all do our part to help slow the flood of lawlessness and lawlessness that has saturated or society and nation. May it be our sincere desire to pray for America and it awakening to the realities at hand. For in the end, whatever becomes of her, our hope is NOT in America and our Constitution, but our HOPE is in Almighty God and in His Son Jesus Christ (Col. 1:27, 1 Tim. 1:1 )! Always remember my dear friends in the light of these temporal settings the BIG picture, that the Kingdom of Heaven is TRULY at hand!
Many of the men on the “right” currently seeking or in politics have LITTLE in common with the men who fought WWII. Not one of the current crop today is willing to put up with the abuse WHILE STILL CHARGING ahead as Palin does. All stand in the shadows and make the occasional comment but she puts herself out there. Jan Brewer and Michele Bachmann do the same. Perhaps if today’s Republican (supposed) conservative male in the limelight would show the same fortitude as those men who fought in WWII these women might not need to.
And none of those women are making these comments. Those of us watching this play out are. Even my son who’s surrounded by brave men every single day of his life says the same thing. I’m not real thrilled that this is the way the world is right now either. Where are the men? Romney? Huntsman? Pawlenty? Newt? Sorry, that dog don’t hunt. Thank God the women do.

Neither am I.
I was thinking she’s America’s Esther, but Deborah’s good, too.
Unfortunately he will spew on rather than go away in shame as he should.
Prophetic. Even if I was twelve.
America has many Godly, courageous men leading their families and fighting for our country. Unfortunately there are very few of them stepping up to the political leadership plate. I have not seen anyone since Reagan willing to keep fighting and leading even after being savaged by Liberals and their presstitutes. Sarah has had all hell flung at her family and herself personally. Until I see some men willing to withstand the same, I can believe that Sarah has been raised up for such a time as this.
Dudes, chill out. This is just one guy’s opinion and comparisons to historical figures (even biblical ones) are made all the time. Don’t be so uptight. People probably compare her to Reagan, Thatcher and other conservative figures because of real or perceived similarities. The same with figures like Deborah, for example. They were both G*d fearing women, for example.
Only a con man would go out and run in the Presidential primaries of three different parties in one year, especially a man that has never won any election, anywhere, ever.
I don't think he, nor many of us fail to realize this. They should be "indicted".....as were the Whigs.
Trademarking the Palin name was just a smart move to prevent the horde of atheistic Psycho-Lawyers who have come after that family in unprecedented fashion ever since they sensed the threat the Palin family is to their perks.
Dude....you chill...we’re laughing at it (at least I am).
Charging ahead on what? That should be question conservatives should be asking themselves.
Pro-choice for states, like Gerald Ford?
Supporting John McCain's reelection?
Supporting John McCain's position on immigration?
Supporting the Law of the Sea Treaty?
Pushing judicial supremacy?
Touting "feminism"?
Calling unionists her "brothers and sisters"?
Refusing to offer any opposition to the U.S. Dept. of Education and the education establishment?
Refusing to spell out any substantial portion of the federal behemoth she would like to eliminate, much less any part of it that she considers to be unconstitutional?
As in the days of Deborah, these are perilous times. Cotton candy conservatism, mere populist rhetoric, will NOT save this republic.
None of her positions that I listed above are directions I want to charge, thank you very much. And I find it sad that her followers can be led to do so along with her.
Watch. As this thread progresses...or perhaps I should say digresses...you will see her supporters defending all of that. Which is an amazing thing to see on America's premiere conservative forum.
You betcha.
You don’t know what you’re talking about, as usual.
Do you think you can insult and humiliate an entire Demographic into supporting your candidate? If you believe you will win elections by doing so, go ahead. Men that belong to my category will only smile while you make a complete ass out of yourself. And word travels fast among us. It's an unwritten code that we shared in our foxholes.
But go ahead anyway, exclude us from your exclusive little club. See how far that gets you.
No, I am correct, the man was desperately looking for a stage, that is how he makes his living.
Three political parties in a single year, WOW!
You must be currently looking into a mirror.
I compared her to our founders...who were totally “biblified”... to the max... Of course all were not believers but the majority were. Just read their writings. also ... read Sarah's books. We didn’t say she got a “vision” but God rules in the affairs of man (Daniel 5:21).. just ask Belshazzar...
Exactly! She was ready to roll....
If you could ever take off your Republican blinders perhaps you could learn something from the man.
The man is a con man, that, while never actually winning elections, constantly runs in them, decade after decade, as a way to make his living.
