What more could Americans ask for in a candidate, than what this person has to offer. She is honest, candid, tactful, faithful and fully capable. A truly good person with a heart of gold and the strength of character to lead this nation out of its culture of death and more into a culture of love that will go far toward pleasing God and man throughout the world.

The anti-Catholic stuff will probably hurt her.

This puts Bachmann in the early wave of evangelical Christians whose Pro-Life views drove them into the GOP.

Francis Schaeffer the intellectual and Jerry Falwell the television preacher were big influences on this early wave.

Later Pat Robertson brought in another wave with his 1988 presidential campaign.

Sarah Palin is equally as pro life and did not hire a guy to go after her sister in Christ! So what`s your point?

I can't underestimate the influence Schaeffer had on American evangelism, far more than is generally known and far more than those television preachers who sought his shadow. I credit him with helping millions build an intellectual defense against earlier attempts to marginalize Christianity in the West.

Schaeffer's only problem with Catholicism was intercessory, that one would need to "merit the unmerited favor (grace) of God in Christ."

A lot of vocabulary now in regular use in evangelist circles originated with his work, e.g. "worldview," "post-Christian West," "culture of death," etc.

Now, considering how backsliden his son Franky has become, spewing anger now from the Moon Bat Left, my guess is we can expect him to pipe in.

Credit that, when it happens, to the merit of her testimony in this regard. If "Franky" reacts angrily to this report, she must be doing something right.

Schaeffer's intellectual rebuttal to Roe and Skinner marked the turnabout in many against "choice" with regard to the unborn.

Let's just say this... This snippet of news, easily ignored, struck a responsive chord with me. I've taken her candidacy seriously before this, but much more so now than before reading this.
