Given the vicious hysteria that engulfed the nation over Obama's pastor, it's disappointing that you chose to whitewash Kalnin's extremist (and illegal) endorsement of George W. Bush. He claimed that those who failed to vote for Bush would suffer eternal hellfire, and that Kerry supporters would be denied the kingdom of heaven. He has also represented the invasion and occupation of Iraq as a mission from God, a position that has also been represented by Palin. Palin's denomination also looks forward to the destruction of the State of Israel and the Jewish people in the end times, which they consider imminent (although they currently favor Israel -- which is necessary for the pre-annihilation "ingathering" -- at the same time as they support "aggressive" missionizing of non-Christians, including Jewish Israelis.

"no tobacco, no alcohol, no social dancing, no sex outside of marriage"
I don't these writers have seen a Christian before. Perhaps they would prefer a church that slams America? If only we had a candidate who's church has slammed America in the past...

This all falls in line with who she is. Evangelical, judgmental, strict and closed-minded. Meanwhile, like most tragedies, mom and dad have too much advice for her neighbor, but none for her kids. Seems she should have stayed out of her sisters affairs too. Bristol should be supported, but you still have to send the message that she's not exactly being a role-model. She could be a Bush daughter.

You will have to lay in it.I have passed this along to my children and grand children.People should think more, before making a desion.

Yes, lake, they should, and we keep hoping they will, and include ourselves in the "they", because all of us, without exception, has used poor judgement at some point, especially when we are young and testing the waters, so to speak. I have learned that you can not make anyone wise, that comes with hard knocks and experience. All of us would love to protect our children from the mistakes we made, or observed someone else making, but we can not. We can only teach them morals, values and respect for themselves and others, but once they go out into the world as young adults, they will be responsible for putting those lessons into effect, but there is a lot of temptation out there, and not everyone will be able to resist. But, when they discover that old fashioned Mom & Dad were correct, they will, usually find themselves back in the family fold, and wanting to find a way to forgive themselves, and move on with their new wisdom, to learn from their mistakes, just as we did, and just as, one day, they will be teaching their own little ones the importance of remaining moral, and the values of respect. Life has a way of coming full circle.

If Lizzy had her way she would have forced Palin's to abort Trig.
If Bristol was Lizzy's daughter.......
Lizzy would have dragged Bristol to the abotion clinic and forced her to have an abortion so Bristol wasn't "BEING PUNISHED WITH A BABY". And if that baby was born alive....Lizzy would probably want the abortionist to to leave the baby to die alone, a long and lingering death.-

Careful how you judge another before you have walked in their shoes for awhile. It must be lonely up there on that pedestal. So happy for you, Mr. & Mrs. perfect, that you have such a lovely family, bet you stay so busy polishing your halos, that you don't have time to get involved in the realities of life as we peasants do. Life has a way of coming at you, slapping you in the face when you least expect it, and just when you think you've finally got it figured out, along comes a new surprise to deal with. But, then, in your world, i'm sure you wouldn't know anything about those kind of things. Most humans, unlike you, have feet of clay, which often tends to get them into trouble, but you would be amazed at the ability of the human spirit to heal itself, and to even help other humans when they need to, in spite of their own pain. If you have ever experienced any type of disappointment with anyone in your family, or with yourself and have delt with it in the best way you could that was comfortable to you, then welcome to the world of real people, but if you haven't, then continue to sit on your lonely pedestal, and stagnate.

Bravo to McCain for pulling his interview on CNN tonight over Campbell's very unprofessional and rude behavior earlier today.

-
Posted By: elizabethpaige @ 09/03/2008 4:54:01 AM
I don't care what university Palin attended. She is a governor, not an ordained minister. Governing at any level has nothing to do with one's religious beliefs. One does not need an Ivy League education to understand the doctrine of separation of church and state.
Even her own daughter didn't buy her evangelizing. She needs to zip up about morality. Imagine having the gall to say that a woman who becomes pregnant through rape or incest cannot have an abortion. No United States Supreme Court or American Congress will ever agree to her craziness. -
Posted By: Mimi13 @ 09/03/2008 1:53:45 AM

Obama singing the words he wrote to the Cooke song...Don't know much about biology, don't know much abouy geography..."

You keep saying "This Country"; if Europe is so much more civilized, then why are you in "This Country"? In "This Country", if you are referring to America, I can't speak for any other one, but in America we have the freedom to have weapons if we choose to, and as for violence, I admit, I don't know the statistics, but don't try to convience me that your country is perfect; maybe the only reason we have more violence is because we have more people. When the population is large, yes, there will be more crimes, that is a given, so whats your point?

McCain's political strategists and campaign managers are killing it!! All of the press coverage is on McCain/Palin (good or bad,as long as they're talking).

The Democratic convention was re-broadcast every night in it's entirety.
The Republican convention was not re-broadcast in it's entirety...only bits and pieces. Fair? NO!

She has also spoken in her church in support of the Iraq War as part of God's plan and she has said (also in the Wasilla Assembly of God church) that the natural gas pipeline that she's trying to contract out to a Canadian firm is God's will because God wants us to extract natural resources.

JoJazz, you couldn't be more wrong. I am always open to listen to anyone who has something worthwhile to offer, but the door you are trying to open is one not many are willing to enter. Your type are so judgemental of anyone who does not fall all over themselves agreeing with you. There are many things I agree with the left on, just not most things. For instance, i believe that liberals are not wrong in wanting to avoid war, that is a nobel idea, but I do believe they are wrong in thinking it is always possible. I, also, agree that we should protect our natural resources, but I am not a fanatic about it, if we never cut down a tree or killed an animal, we would soon be over run with forest and animals; i do not believe in killing just for sport, but only if the animal is a threat in some way, and even then, an attempt should be made to remove the animal to its own natural envirement, and killed only as a last resort. It seems everything on the planet is protected except the one natural resource that should be included in that protection---humans. Now, you can feel anyway you want about mje, as long as i feel comfortable with who I am, and I know God is happy with me, thats the only thing that is most important to me. If someone mocks you for doing the right thing, do the right thing anyway, for it was always between you and God, never between you and them. A quote from Mother Teresa.
