You seriously need to stop the cult worship. I do not think that even Sarah Palin wants this.

[nmh]

Sarah Palin is NO Esher.

Read about Esther in the Bible and you will see that in no way, shape or form is she on the level of Esther. I'm surprised at your ignorance. Don't belittle Esther in this way.

I am in the middle of Palin’s book. I feel like I am reading a long, long letter from my best friend. God Bless Sarah and her family.

[RichInOC]

I don’t know about that. Although now that you mention it, there are more than a few folks out there with Haman-size bad attitudes about her and her family.

Timely. I’m reading, ‘Women of the Bible’ in this, the New Year. It’s a year-long devotional study of the women in scripture.

I don’t put Mrs. Palin in league with God; I doubt she herself would, either. But...we just might see Him working through her, which is sorely needed, IMHO.

It would be better were you to cite the original source - an oped in the Gloucester Times, by Stuart Diamond.

..IMHO it's not out of line if it is looked at very broadly

--how a regular girl through Divine Providence found herself in a position to save her people from destruction--to me it's easy to see...

I have no intention of belittling Esther, but we need Palin to be more like a King David slaying the Goliath of ever growing government, ever intrusive, imperial afederal government than we need her to be someone relying on the kindness of Xerxes.

Thanks for the post. I love watching the rino-lovers out themselves. (I’m talking about you, jv)

[John-Irish]

Cult worship of Sarah Palin? Hardly. What then does any call the love-fest and worship of Obama?

[alarm rider]

“My second favorite thing about Sarah Palin is her love for her country”.

That’s the first for me, don’t let the nay-sayers discourage you. Mrs. Palin is a gem.

She gives me hope for the future, and reminds me of the great Jewish heroine Esther.

For such a time as this......See my tagline, which I have had for a while.

[pillut48]

“For such a time as this...” is sooo true! God put Esther in the right place at the right time to save her people, and I believe God has put Sarah Palin in the right time and right place to save *her* people (America)!

I also see her as a modern day Deborah, leading the people into battle against the enemy...only this time, Barak is also one of the enemy instead of an ally!

2012. It’s not that far away! :-)

[The Wizard]

why do any of you respond to this asshole instigator.....he's a fool ignore him.

[pvoce]

Esther? Esther went before the Persian king....I would say more Deborah than Esther...

[Cacique]

We have three years to go until 2012 and the elections may never take place. Three years is an eternity in politics. Wars can start in days or hours. One event can derail history. To emotionally invest in a woman who has questionable intellectual attributes is in my view a serious mistake too many people make. We have no clue who will be worthy of our backing in January 2012. It may not be Palin at all.

The Foward compares Sarah Palin to Knesset member Anastasia Michaeli Samuelson:

Israel’s Politician as Super Woman

“Another soldier,” Anastasia Michaeli Samuelson said, patting her belly proudly when asked the sex of her soon-to-be-born eighth child . . . Michaeli comes from the Sarah Palin school of conservatism, wherein motherhood and a conservative political ideology line up in perfect symmetry . . .
