Palin Pick Causes 'Elation' among Evangelical Leaders

cbn ^

Wow. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is John McCain's pick for Vice-President. Folks, this is s close to a game changer as you can get.

Let me give you some instant reaction. I can tell you that The Brody File has been talking to multiple sources in the conservative Evangelical community and the reaction has been EXTREMELY POSITIVE. As a matter of fact, I am told that when conservative leaders heard the news this morning at a meeting at the Council for National Policy, one attendee told me that there is "nothing but elation. People are giddy. They are energized and they now believe that in fact this campaign has the ability to win this election."

Perhaps it was just a timeout.

The Prophetess Deborah became a judge of the tribes of Israel when there was no man of sufficient character to lead the tribes out of the trouble they were in.

 

I do not find that the Bible gives the REASON she was leading them...

 

Judges 4

 

 1.  After Ehud died, the Israelites once again did evil in the eyes of the LORD.
 2.  So the LORD sold them into the hands of Jabin, a king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth Haggoyim.
 3.  Because he had nine hundred iron chariots and had cruelly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years, they cried to the LORD for help.
 4.  Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading Israel at that time.
 5.  She held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites came to her to have their disputes decided.
 6.  She sent for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, "The LORD, the God of Israel, commands you: `Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun and lead the way to Mount Tabor.
 7.  I will lure Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River and give him into your hands.'"
 8.  Barak said to her, "If you go with me, I will go; but if you don't go with me, I won't go."
 9.  "Very well," Deborah said, "I will go with you. But because of the way you are going about this,  the honor will not be yours, for the LORD will hand Sisera over to a woman." So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh,
 10.  where he summoned Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah also went with him.
 11.  Now Heber the Kenite had left the other Kenites, the descendants of Hobab, Moses' brother-in-law,  and pitched his tent by the great tree in Zaanannim near Kedesh.
 12.  When they told Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor,
 13.  Sisera gathered together his nine hundred iron chariots and all the men with him, from Harosheth Haggoyim to the Kishon River.
 14.  Then Deborah said to Barak, "Go! This is the day the LORD has given Sisera into your hands. Has not the LORD gone ahead of you?" So Barak went down Mount Tabor, followed by ten thousand men.
 15.  At Barak's advance, the LORD routed Sisera and all his chariots and army by the sword, and Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled on foot.
 16.  But Barak pursued the chariots and army as far as Harosheth Haggoyim. All the troops of Sisera fell by the sword; not a man was left.
 17.  Sisera, however, fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there were friendly relations between Jabin king of Hazor and the clan of Heber the Kenite.
 18.  Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, "Come, my lord, come right in. Don't be afraid." So he entered her tent, and she put a covering over him.
 19.  "I'm thirsty," he said. "Please give me some water." She opened a skin of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him up. 
 20.  "Stand in the doorway of the tent," he told her. "If someone comes by and asks you, `Is anyone here?' say `No.'"
 21.  But Jael, Heber's wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died.
 22.  Barak came by in pursuit of Sisera, and Jael went out to meet him. "Come," she said, "I will show you the man you're looking for." So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera with the tent peg through his temple--dead.
 23.  On that day God subdued Jabin, the Canaanite king, before the Israelites.
 24.  And the hand of the Israelites grew stronger and stronger against Jabin, the Canaanite king, until they destroyed him.

Life is Good!!

They seem to be working!

I just know Romney is thrilled about a woman VP...

There is always Ambassador to Balukistan!

[Elsie]

We all know it takes a village to raise a child.

Hey Mitt!

Since we are BOTH losers this year;
let's make plans to get together again in '12.

Whatcha say??

[Elsie]

McCain is still a far-left social-democratist and I am still voting for Chuck Baldwin.

But would HE make his brother Attorney General?

[Elsie]

Tell you what: I will probably have to replace my weak fish symbol with a BARACCUDA logo.

Kinda like THIS?

[Elsie]

I told my wife about Palin a couple of weeks ago, she thinks I am sort of prophet.

We Prophets need to stick together!

Says it Spot On!!

Yesterday I was voting for McCain simply as a vote against Obambi.

Today I'm voting for McCain and Palin. I suspect a lot of grassroots conservatives feel that way today, too.

[Elsie]

Sorta makes me wish we could invert the ticket - PALIN * mccain...

Four years goes QUICK when yer 71!

[Elsie]

By the way, I think she will be able to balance both!

It's not like being VP would take up a lot of time!

[Elsie]

;^)

[Elsie]

Maybe someone should make a symbol, like the "Darwin Fish" except a barracuda, with the word "Sarah" or "Palin" in it.

I just got them an image to modify!

[grey_whiskers]

Where?!!

Cheers!

[grey_whiskers]

But I did see îber-moonbat Al Franken in person at his booth.

Make that über-moonbat.

Past my bedtime, it was.

Cheers!

I’m sure a lot of people have gained a lot of trust for John McCain after this pick. It is great to be able to get behind a ticket strongly without reservation. Let’s put a ticket into the White House we can be proud of McCain/Palin a perfect combination of conservatism, courage, strength, straight talk, intelligence, and beauty. Now let’s get out there and defeat the Obama-Nation.

[Onelifetogive]

I’m conflicted. I still despise McCain. I still disagree his influence is good on the party. But Palin’s influence would be very good for this party...

Odd are he has less than ten years of party influence left, she has more like 30 left.

Rainygoodyear signed up 5-15-08; a lot of the “08” sign-ups seem to be trolls. Evidently, the other side has done some prep work for the election. Shows how desperate they are for their little socialist revolution to kick off.

My apologies to all the legitmate 2008 newbies...to trolls, however... go back to DUmmy Underground or Daily KOmrade where you belong. You’ll get nothing but malice here.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Palin was a great pick, maybe she can talk some sense into ole John.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

John McCain did something weird by picking a good candidate instead of having his party tell him who to pick based on popularity polls, that’s where you got confused.
