Palin: conservative Christian or women's libber(al)

Please help me understand. You are a conservative evangelical Christian, right? You say so and all the conservatives say that’s what you are. How could they ever possibly be wrong? I know you’re Pentecostal and believe the Bible to be literally true and the inerrant word of God. So would you please help me understand some Biblical text? Gov. Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. Do you keep quiet or do you go to a liberal church that lets women speak like they had penises? Are you a member of one of them radical liberation theology churches that even believe women can go out and speak in public? Do you secretly push an anti-God, lesbian, man-hating conspiracy that women should actually be allowed to go out of the home and get a job and work around men and get paid as much? What is, Governor?

A smile tugs at the lips of White."You kind of put everything else aside for a second and say: 'Look can we just enjoy the moment?"' White says as he looks back on the experience at a news conference over the weekend."I was looking at myself thinking, 'Oh my God, stop smiling,"' adds the Edge, seated alongside his guitar colleagues and wearing his trademark toque.

A Flag in Her Office

So, Sarah Palin proudly displays an Israeli flag in her office in Juneau, and her "Pentecostal" faith makes supporting the state of Israel a central tenet of belief, possibly even more important than the Gospel itself (you know, that odd little fact that Jesus Christ was crucified and raised to redeem humanity from its sinfulness). Mrs. Palin was baptized as a teenager at the Wasilla Assembly of God Church. She frequently attends the Juneau Christian Center, which is also part of the Pentecostal Assemblies of God. Historically, the Assemblies of God have been dispensationalists, which means they believe in 'the rapture' of Christians that takes them out of the world," said Mr. Matthews. "Central to that position is a very strong support for Israel. It's integral to their view of both prophecy and politics. This got me to thinking.
