The scariest aspect of Palin's political aspirations is the fact that her fundamentalist Pentecostal religious beliefs form the basis for all of her policies, particularly those regarding the Middle East.
Quote:
Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.
"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan." Palin's Church May Have Shaped Controversial Worldview

Along with her entire family, Sarah Palin was re-baptized at twelve at the Wasilla Assembly of God in Wasilla, Alaska and she attended the church from the time she was ten until 2002: over two and 1/2 decades. Sarah Palin's extensive pattern of association with the Wasilla Assembly of God has continued nearly up to the day she was picked by Senator John McCain as a vice-presidential running mate. Palin's dedication to the Wasilla church is indicated by a Saturday, September 7, 2008, McClatchy news service story detailing possibly improper use of state travel funds by Palin for a trip she made to Wasilla, Alaska to attend, on June 8, 2008, both a Wasilla Assembly of God "Masters Commission" graduation ceremony and also a multi-church Wasilla area event known as "One Lord Sunday." At the latter event, Palin and Alaska LT Governor Scott Parnell were publicly blessed, onstage before an estimated crowd of 6,000, through the "laying on of hands" by Wasilla Assembly of God's Head Pastor Ed Kalnins whose sermons espouse such theological concepts as the possession of geographic territories by demonic spirits and the inter-generational transmission of family "curses". Palin has also been blessed, or "anointed," by an African cleric, prominent in the Third Wave movement, who has repeatedly visited the Wasilla Assembly of God and claims to have effected positive, dramatic social change in a Kenyan town by driving out a "spirit of witchcraft."

Palin is an easy on the eyes package wrapped around some very strange contents.

Is Sarah Palin like some kind of talisman to the left? Why the hell are they so obsessed with her. She is not a political candidate, so you can relax and attack Glen Beck instead.
BTW- who is in charge of the executive and legislative branches now? Sarah Palin?

But her belief in Witches casting spells to cause ill is even more frightening. Remember her Kenyan Witch Doctor
I would rather believe in something and find out at the end it was nothing but hope, faith, and love, than believe in nothing and find out at the end there IS SOMETHING and have missed it all, all the warm fuzzies, all the satisfactions, all the accomplishments, and an everlasting life. Of course, YMMV, OP.
This post seems to indicate that faith and religion is nothing more than distorting one's beliefs for a wager. Hard to drum up genuine faith and love under this pretense.
In fact, this approach could be downright dangerous. All thought is based on a wager for a possible reward rather than love for fellow man. Selfish.
She states her support for jewish settlements in the west bank based on Jewish immigration into Israel and Olbermann extrapolates this?!?!?!
WTF is wrong with you people?!?!?
This!

What has made things increasingly worse over the passing decades is that Israel has unashamedly built its prosperity on the backs of hired Palestinian labor from the Occupied Territories. And, with willing American help, it has grown accustomed to continually expanding the notorious armed Jewish settlements that oppress the Palestinians rightin their own neighbourhoods, in addition to exploiting them as a captive pool of cheap labor.

Most people don't have a PAC unless they plan to run for some sort of political office.
