What most people mean by “you can’t legislate morality” is that legislation can only go a very short distance in influencing moral beliefs. It cannot be the mainstay of morality. This isn’t just a libertarian theme; the noted Christian apologist C. S. Lewis made this point as well.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of people in the conservative movement who view Sarah the same way many libs view Obama - as a Messiah.

I know a lot of folks who view her as a strong conservative, with strong conservative principles - period.

Too many articles, too little time to waste.

Just for reference sake, the article reveals some interesting facts about government abuse- facts which support Palin's assertion that death panels are not unlikely. You probably are already aware of these instances, but I figured I'd just point them out again.

I agree.

There are but a few steps between government mandated end-of-life counseling, and the “better for all the world” ending of life by government mandates.

Sarah Palin is not crazy.

This poor writer just can’t come to terms with the fact that Sarah Palin dealt a death blow to Obama’s plan with two simple words.

She's a hell of a lot closer, imho. But, she makes no claims of being special. She is a fisherwoman with a family. Her family is just like so many of ours, messy!

messiah:

also Mes·si·as ) The anticipated savior of the Jews.
also Messias Christianity. Jesus.
One who is anticipated as, regarded as, or professes to be a savior or liberator.

I am a Christian. I know in Whom I have been guaranteed an eternal life with Him. Jesus is THE Messiah. I worship Him. I support Sarah Palin as a leader of many conservatives. I am one of those.

Moses led the people through the desert. He was a messiah for the Jews. Sarah may not run for President, but I'm going to wander around with her right now! I'll continue to ask God to let her get into the promised land!

I think the author did a GREAT job. He sucked everyone in by writing an article with a headline a liberal would read, and then essentially follows the threads as to how the House bill WOULD lead to death panels. Then he concludes, “Sarah Palin is NOT crazy.”

He agrees with her, and defends her with this essay.

After reading the article I am confident that the writer is in support of Palin. Yet certain folks are equally confident that the writer is out to bash Palin. The differences in comprehension is comical. So I think you have a point- if this writer just stuck to “See Spot Run” style of writing maybe we’d all find ourselves in agreement. Then again, someone would insist Spot did not run or what we saw was not Spot but Rover, Spot’s neighbor.

Spot will be seen as an agent provoceteur ! Spot is defintely a conservative as this was WAY before the dumbing down of American education. Oh my gosh, if we had said, "See Jane Run!" that might have been politically incorrect.
