Something happened....
...EV, I appreciate & respect you, but God could be using Palin (& she's willing to be used) to hold a mirror to the world and to our government especially.
Who knows.......God may use her for a season....for 4 years...
...and on the world stage, we will see her little Trig grow & he will shine a light on all who were prevented from being born because they were potential 'Trigs'...
..we will see the baby born of her teenage daughter...(Lord willing)...
..and the world will see all the babies who were not allowed to be born, because it was inconvenient!
EV, it could bring repentance to our nation!!
God can do anything. In the meantime, she has taken an abortion position that is destructive not only of the babies, but of this republic.
You tell me who is going to stand against this false and destructive doctrine if it isn’t us, my friend. Please, show me who.
The truth is more important than Mrs. Palin’s political career, or the outcome of one election.
One last thing: public policy happens because of what is, not because of what you hope things might be.
Sarah Palin has only just stepped on the world stage. Her words and deeds are filled with promise that she may be quite a champion of the virtuous. But if not she has already been a shining example of a life well lived without apology to the culture of victimhood and the death cult mentality that snarls at the simple good choices she has made.
It amazes me that those who trumpet their own high moral standing seize on the tiniest straw of perceived imperfection in her words to dismiss her and pigeonhole her with all the other "lost" politicians. Neverminding that the reality of this world and its political classes has forever been a cesspool of greed, corruption and compromises. Where champions are rarely seen and wise men fear to tread.
I guess the best way to avoid disappointment is to never give any of them a chance to prove themselves. They condemn themselves by merely stepping in the ring.
“McCain wouldn’t have picked Palin if he didn’t...finally...listen to conservatives.
Something happened...”
I think that ‘what happened’ was that everyone knew that he would lose if he didn’t not pick a conservative. I think that the Palin pick was about winning, not a change of heart on any issue important to us. Palin completely changes that dynamic.
That said, Palin is the better part of the ticket. It would be nice if she had real authority and influence in policy matters, but those are the constitutional limits with which we must live. The best the she really offers us conservatives right now if hope for the future — not that there is anything wrong with that.
