Palin Used State Funds for Trip to Tell Students to Pray for Pipeline »
Posted By Neophile 1 year, 2 months ago in NewsGov. Sarah Palin used state funds in June when she traveled from Juneau to Wasilla to speak to graduating evangelical students and urge them to fan out through Alaska "to make sure God's will be done here."

She also said that getting the pipeline put in was a task from God. Not to mention the Iraq war also being a task from God.

Personally I'm not big on people who think everything, including getting a Big Mac from the local Mickey D's is a Task from God. They tend to snap and destroy things. -

Oh yeah .... Obama has shown throughout his political history to pander to the slimy Chicago politicians. He NEVER stood against corrupt pols --- he ENDORSED them. I don't trust him. All this money and support has to come from people who KNOW Obama can be bought. He stands for nothing. These supporters mean our country NO GOOD. And you are comfortable with Obama's hand on the trigger? He'd sell us down the river.

Did you miss the part about her using state funds?

I wish Obama would stop the nonsense you refer to as well. But that isn't going to get me to vote for a creationist and a philandering Christian. Sad that politicians have to resort to such pandering. -

He also doesn't still consider me to be suffering from a psychosis. That was proven to be wrong in the very early '80s. Obama also doesn't believe that science is a lie. He knows that scientific proof is a reality and that reality should be taught to our kids in public schools. He also doesn't promote the censorship of speech and thought. He isn't the thought police as Ms. Palin has tried to make herself out to be.

"Leighow compared Palin's prodding of the young evangelical students to her attending the 2007 installation of Rabbi Michael Oblath at Congregation Beth Sholom in Anchorage."
Reply
Duh...one's a rabbi, a religious man; the other's a state governor. One talks about his God to other jewish graduates while the other talks about her God and her God's plan for Alaska and a pipeline in her capacity as Governor of the State of Alaska to graduates from a religious institution. If you can't see the difference, then you're brain dead.-

Who would have guessed that Jesus wants drilling in Alaska?
Reply
But she is playing the her base that believes that Jesus came into Bethlehem on the back of a Brontosaurus. If the local clergy can convince them of that, I guess convincing them that Jesus wants drilling is easy.

When Bush and Dead Eye **** are out of office Obama will make room for most Republicans in his administration. Hopefully right next to all the great leaders we are training at Gitmo. Kind of like the great leaders the VietCong trained at the Hanoi Hilton. You know like John (I was against torture before I was for it) McCain.

Their God is constantly working on schemes to enrich the Republican base who worships at his (notice the male tense) feet. Give them a dollar and just like Paula White he will turn it into three.

Where does she come up with this stuff?"
This seems to be ignorance of what Christianity is all about. Read all of the secular Christian bashers here. A true Christian believes that God is in control and that they should pray to him concerning EVERYTHING. Something that seems to anger secularists and atheists on this site. -

Neophile does it again. A hit piece on Gov. Palin. Keep them coming neophile. The more of them the more the rebound against liberals there will be. It seems that the nationsl leaders are figuring this out already. The more they piled on in the Dinosaur media the mor the polls went to McCain. The people see who and what she is and the more vicious the attacks the better she looks to the people. Many of these attacks like this one are seen as shallow.

So she spoke to a group of graduating evangelical students and you didn't think she would or should mention the word pray? The Senate, where Mr. Obama is supposed to have an office opens each session with a prayer. Where or what did this harm? That she dared to actually visit a school to talk? She suggested prayers? Every president has closed with "God Bless America." in speeches and address before congress, is that now forbidden? I think the left needs to stop looking for dirt where there really isn't any and start looking for reasons we should actually consider voting for Obama. His weak resume, lack of any leadership and his general "messiah" comments have damaged him far worse that telling a bunch of churchy school kids to pray for a pipeline.

Hey looker - You can't be serious! Rev. Wright a Christian? Yeah, a racist, white hating, Jew hating, Reverend. Sheesh! Did you see all the humanitarian aid sent by the McCains? Decades of help throughout the world - Obama's ONLY chartiable act? a $22,5000 donatin to Rev Wrights church. Wake up girls Obama is a poseur interested only in himself. He is a Machiavillian opportunist.

I don't think his believing in Christ will help him or his supporters. When Christ said, " Suffer the Little Children to Come Unto Me." I am sure he wasn't talking about the children arriving because of a doctor armed with a forceps, suction tube and dumpster. What I do find interesting is timing. Do you realize, reading the history of Barry's mother, that had abortion been legal then, he most likely wouldn't exist today? Kind of ironic how those living today are making choices so callously without thinking about the consequences.

of prayers in Alaska! Wonder how that will go. And NO I'm not gay. But come on people,
prayers won't stop wars, change water into wine, or make everyone into a clone of whatever
she wants. All of Alaska can pray to their hearts content about anything she desires the
'perfect world' to be, but it is just not going to accomplish anything. I guess she forgot to
pray that her **** daughter wouldn't get knocked up. Surely it would have done the trick, ya
think?-

Actually there are genetics labs trying to do that as we speak. There is a very good chance that the "gay" gene could be manipulated out of the genetic pool. While scary for some it could have potential benefits in the future. No more shrinks for people coming out. No more families falling apart because of a parent that can't handle something. Take a pill, change the chemical balance, or whatever and the gay population ceases to exist. And this all from some of your largest supporters for abortions and stem cell research.

Meanwhile Cindy McCain always checks out Palin's ass as she walks by. I originally thought that McCain picked Palin to appease the Holy Rollers, but perhaps he is working on a three-some. -

bring her prayer club with her and start praying and preaching publically to the Iraqis?? I just
don't see them suddenly seeing the error of their ways and bowing down to her for making

probably really tick them off even more! But if all the gay people actually become straight
real soon because of Alaskan prayer, then heck, maybe we should send her over there! -

Actually the management that Bush sent to Iraq was limited to those that passed the Roe vs Wade test. They didn't have any arab language skills, didn't have any experience, but brought with them 75,000 Baptist bibles.-

Oh give me a break. Please show me the invoices. As to Roe v Wade, in Iraq or any other Islamic nation, they kill abortionists. They have no problem murdering anyone else to in the name of Islam including fellow Muslims. The only abortions permitted are done with court approval and only to save the life of the mother. I don't think rape is an excuse. Only to save the mother. So being a Christian is actually less dangerous than being an abortionist in Iraq. Perhaps you'd like to go there and discuss this in a mosque. I suspect you wouldn't fare to well.

Who would have thought that people who are supposed to be patriotic American would betray how we are tracking the terrorists so they could stop being tracked. Not once but several times.
Reply
Who would have believed that a previous administration would provide defective unarmored modes of transportation to our army.
Who would have guessed that liberal cities would create safe havens and prohibit their police from calling for the deportation of illegals.
Who would have believed that the previous administration didn't want to capture the person who caused 9/11.
Who would have believe that the previous administrations walls set up between the different intelligence agencies that prevented sharing information that could have prevented 9/11. Each had a piece but nobody could share that information. Ms. Rice had only a piece. She was not allowed to have access to the rest.
Who would have believed that the committees that were supposed to maintain the levies around New Orleans used the money for statues, buildings and parks with only cosmetic work on the levies.
This is fun. Do some more.

Are you better off now than you were under Clinton?

As for security:
Who would have guessed that attempting to turn over our Port Security to an Arab country (who sees bin Laden as the only legitimate ruler of Afghanistan) and who provided most of the passports of the 9/11 hijackers.
Who would have thought that moving funds from the major American Cities to places that the terrorists could find on a map would protect America.
Who would have guessed that having porous boarders and encouraging illegals to enter to provide low cost labor was the way to protect America;
Who would have guessed that failing to protect the Levies of New Orleans was the best was to protect America;
Who would have guessed that sending troops into battle without protection and telling them do dig deeper in the junk piles of Iraq if they wanted better armor;
Who would have guessed that DISREGARDING Clinton's administrations warning about bin Lade was the best way to protect America.
Ms. Rice, what was the title of the CIA report that you disregarded?
"Oh you mean: Arab terrorists planning to hijack American planes and attack American cities?
What about it?" -

Reply
country's sake)then we are all doomed. More Bush failures everywhere- economics, rights,and freedoms gone, way bigger government and most important Supreme Court appointees. These right wing nut jobs will appoint anti freedom anti american judges who will continue to destroy the U.S. constitution. But you right wing nut jobs do not seem to care about America. That is ok. Hopefully there are enough true americans(anybody but a republican) who will vote for what is right. Btw, Bush has not kept us safe from anything, because of Bush there will be more terrorist attacks in America.-

Let's look at your ignorant comments. First what freedoms did you lose? Communications with your communist/terrorist friends? Not really, you can still call them. They may listen in, but you still can call. Taking your shoes off or not carrying in a box cutter? Too bad. Speech? I didn't see the protesters arrested and made to disappear. They may go to jail for the damage or danger of their actions but no one was murdered or simply disappeared.
Reply
At to the courts, how many people died as a result of the supreme court? How many people were aborted? How many died on death row? How many murders walked because his rights were not explained only to kill again?
The GOP isn't your enemy. We don't take your freedoms away. Unless you mean murder, rape or general pillaging. If you do, yes we restrict it. You still can worship in a church, temple, synagogue, mosque, or whatever. You still have freedom of speech. You still can go anywhere in the USA you want. You can go to school and become anything you want. Race & gender are no longer an issue. Again, what rights are you worried about?

People like Palin scare me. I have no problem with them pursuing their own beliefs. However it is part of their religion that they have to impose their belief on everyone else. They call themselves Pro Lifers when really they are Anti-Choice. They act on their choice but no one else can have that privilege. The writer who compared them to Jihdists isn't so far off the mark at all. I just hope in the coming weeks she puts her foot in her mouth once too often so people can see who they are electing.

You guys love those terms. Pro-Choice, Anti-Abortion. Well, let's really talk about what they really should be. I am Pro-Life, you clearly are Pro Death. Choice? Aborting a fetus, be it with a little pill or scisors, suction hose and forceps when the child is in the 8th month of pregnancy still requires the killing of an unborn child. Two people with their own distinct heart beats enter the clinic, but only one will come out alive.
Reply
Here's an idea. You want choice? Perhaps you should consider choosing rubbed or plain before you go any further. It's far less expensive and far less a problem. You can even find them in gas station bathrooms. It also reduces the chances of Aids and other STD's. Oh, that would also cut into your Planned Parent funding of the DNC though.

WE MUST FINISH WITH THIS KIND OF ATHEIST AND COMMUNIST COMMENTS. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS A JUDEO CHRISTIAN COUNTRY. AS CHRISTIANS, CATHOLICS, JEWS, ORTHODOXS, ETC. WE BELIEVE AND WORSHIP THE UNIQUE REAL AND ALMIGHTY GOD OF ISRAEL: " I AM THAT I AM" WE MUST BE HAPPY TO HAVE A REPUBLICAN CHRISTIAN WOMAN WHO HONOR TO THE GOD OF THE CHRISTIAN FOUNDERS OF THIS BIG NATION...SHE WAS NOT USING THE ALASKAN STATE MONEY FOR HER PERSONAL PROFIT, BY CONTRAST SHE WAS ENCOURAGING TO THE NEW GENERATIONS TO BE STRONG AND FAITHFUL BELIEVING IN GOD WE TRUST.

By the way, you forgot "Muslims" among your Judeo-Christian list. They, after all, are an Abrahamaic religion and as such worship the exact same 'God' that you say Christians and Jews worship. I wonder if there was a reason you forgot this group?

Same old rhetoric. … from the Dems and liberals that is....
Reply
This entire one-sided article is about 8 mns. of an old speech, which no one has a recording of.
And oh my!! She spent $520 on one round trip... Gee, that's BIG news. No one has said (that speaks the whole truth anyway) she walked 10 miles to her office, barefoot in the snow or something.
I wonder what Obama, Biden, Clinton and more in Government have spent tax dollars on? We should go through all these others stuff with a microscope too. Care to make a bet on who has wasted more?
Come on, it's obvious by the new poll results that people aren't buying witch hunt fanatics attempts to trash candidates on a personal level and are seeing through the Bush scare tactics too.
Sarah Palin is not for the big oil companies at all. She went after them and won. She also ran a boat load of corrupt politicians out of political office along the way. She balanced the state budget too by taking special interest groups to task and vetoing wasteful spending.
That is more like it! -
