It actually does apply to women leading the country. The reasoning is rooted in the order in creation, and, therefore, applies everywhere. However, as with the home in exceptional circumstances, women can lead nations in exceptional circumstances. It’s just not something that should happen under normal circumstances. However, when women are the only ones willing and able to lead, then we have no choice in the matter. As far as I can see, the Palin and Bachmann (more so Palin) seem to be the only ones actually capable of accomplishing the task before us. I like Cain for the most part, but it’s hard to see him taking off and he doesn’t seem to be running his campaign effectively. I think Palin might be the only one who has what it takes.
Seems that there was an effective woman leader or two mentioned in the Old Testament....just saying.
