In Palin's Life And Politics, Goal To Follow God's Will (NY Times Spin: Religious Nutcase Alert)
New York Times ^ | 9/06/2008 | Kirk Johnson and Kim Severson

Posted on 09/05/2008 10:12:58 PM PDT by goldstategop

Interviews with the two pastors she has been most closely associated with here in her hometown — she now attends the Wasilla Bible Church, though she keeps in touch with Mr. Riley and recently spoke at an event at his former church — and with friends and acquaintances who have worshipped with her point to a firm conclusion: her foundation and source of guidance is the Bible, and with it has come a conviction to be God’s servant.

“Just be amazed at the umbrella of this church here, where God is going to send you from this church,” Ms. Palin told the gathering in June of young graduates of a ministry program at the Assembly of God Church, a video of which has been posted on YouTube.

“Believe me,” she said, “I know what I am saying — where God has sent me, from underneath the umbrella of this church, throughout the state.”

Sarah Palin is a freak to the libs. Not just because's a conservative. But because she's an evangelical Christian who believes in God! Quelle horreur!

In other news, the NYT ad revenue, employee census, net income, and stock price keeps going down . . . down . . . (cue Elvis) way way on down.

Sarah is a threat to them. They like their women liberal and unquestioningly voting Democrat.

There was some black guy, in the ‘60s, who allegedly said that the position of women in the civil rights movement was “prone”. I’m not sure who said that; maybe it’s an urban legend. But it represents how the liberals/radicals/Democrats view abortion and so called “women’s issues”. They want a reliable voting bloc.

Her religion is next. She’s Assembly of God. You Pentecostals get ready.

God bless her and you all.

The liberals are incensed because she won’t worship at the altar of Moloch.

A devout, pro-life Christian in the White House is their worst nightmare.

What is wrong with being concerned about following God’s will? If the NY Times prefers, they can think of it as wanting to be on the right side, the side of truth and goodness.

By the way, how come libs don’t care about Obama’s hosannas to the Almighty?

“Her religion is next. She’s Assembly of God. You Pentecostals get ready.”

This out to be interesting for the media to put Odumbo up against the wall again.

Odumbo has been trying hard to get the evangelical vote. Whats he gonna say about Sarah? He can’t.

Remember how great the NYT and all of the MSM said it was that Obama has such a deep Christian (not Muslim!) faith?

I’m not a Pentacostal, I will defend my Brothers and Sisters in Christ though.

As for this stuff...the NYT is not a business, it is a sinking ship, that is pumping in water...

Some highlights with regard to the “will of God” made by Pres. George Washington in his Inaugural Address to Both Houses of Congress, April 30, 1789:

Such being the impressions under which I have, in obedience to the public summons, repaired to the present station, it would be peculiarly improper to omit, in this first official act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the universe, who presides in the councils of nations...that His benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the people of the United States a Government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes;

In tendering this homage to the Great Author of every public and private good, I assure myself that it expresses your sentiments not less than my own;

No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men more than the people of the United States.

Every step by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency...

We ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained;

since He has been pleased to favor the American people with opportunities for deliberating in perfect tranquillity, and dispositions for deciding with unparalleled unanimity on a form of government for the security of their union and the advancement of their happiness, so His divine blessings may be equally conspicuous in the enlarged views, the temperate consultations and the wise measures on which the success of this Government must depend.?

Obama has prayed for the exact same thing as Sarah:
“Lord — Protect my family and me… Forgive me my sins, and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will. (Obama's Wailing Wall Prayer)

...the Palins moved to the nondenominational Wasilla Bible Church in 2002, in part because its ministry is less “extreme” than Pentecostal churches like the Assemblies of God...

I wonder if the Pentecostal background with Palin is where we get the long hair and only wearing skirts, which is a tradition with some Pentecostals .

Egaads! Obama is a bible-thumper. I’ll bet this is why he’s allowed his underlings to attack Palin; he thinks she belongs in the kitchen.

Citizens, write to the Obama campaign. Say, “Theocracy? No thanks.”

Because they know he didn't mean it. Big difference...
