"He's sure religion influences Palin's policy-making."
From Tim McGraw, Palin's pastor. Have we already become a theocracy?

1. RELIGION running our country ought to be a major red flag for Americans?
If her pastor is so sure religion is such a big factor, why oh why, aren't most Americans turned off?

2. My guess is that Palin is using religion to further her ambitions.
It has been done before.

3. I wonder what her ambitions are? Is it to create an evangelical nation, as some have said?
The fact that so many women (and men) like her is downright scary---what on earth has happened to our country?

4. I believe that the Pentecostals are "Dominionist". If that includes
her, then that's exactly what their plan is.

5. Dominionist------I've been reading Google entries on it---WOW!
This line caught my attention: "The common belief that society should be governed exclusively by the law of God as codified in the Bible, to the exclusion of secular law, a view also known as theonomy.

6. Well, it's nice to have the confirmation from Pastor Tim, but I never doubted it.
Have you watched any of the youtubes at her church? Scary stuff, indeed.
