    Where's the video of Obama's meeting with yet another questionable person(s). The LA Times refuses to release that video to the public, even though that would be considered "responsible" journalism. I am shocked an amazed at how far left the liberal news media have wandered!

    WOW! Sarah belonged to a Pentecostal church, and believed in the laying on of hands, and prayer. How terrible. that she is following in the footsteps of Jesus who also laid on hands and the apostles who also laid on hands, spoke in tongues, and cast out deamons. What is radical is not her belief system, but the non belief of the extreme left.

    i am not a republican and am not voting that way, but I must come to Sarah Palin's defene, I attend a Pentocostal church, I know that whatevere is has already been written, I respect her for not denying her belief in Christ, Casting out demons, praying for protection in all areas of life is the norm,people need to quit "playing Church", AND get to know Christ! gOD IS aLMIGHTY, AND AWESOME gOD AND hE IS OUR ONLY SALVATION, what her pastor id doing is nothing out of the ordinary WITH pENTOCOSTALS! God gives me the ability to write this, strive for the things He wants me to do for His people,

    "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy." - 1Peter 2:8-10 (New King James Version)

    Don't worry, this was in the Bible long before an Alaskan Pastor ever spoke these words.

    This is over the top, making fun of a religious service. This is not about casting a witch out of Sarah Palin. The Ministers were praying for her to recieve Gods wisdom and help in her duties as a politician. Proverbs tells us to pray for wisdom and knowledge. Lisa and Andrew need to pray for wisdom and knowledge and forgiveness for making fun of a religious service. More people in America need to pray for wisdom and knowledge and rely of God to help them in their daily walk. Most denominations believe in asking God for direction, to make fun of this is blasphemy. If I were Lisa and Andrew I would be asking God for forgiveness and the Pastors of this church. Shame on both of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It never fails to amaze me how many people out there seem to believe that the Bible was written by God. In English! Printed in heaven, no doubt. The Founding Fathers would turn in their graves if they knew what has become of the enlightened, liberal nation they had envisioned.

    • Posted By: benluclar @ 10/29/2008 8:51:50 AM

      Then it would also amaze you to see the Power of God at work in your life, which is visible only in the heart where it it coming from until it is VISIBLE to the eye when miracles have been performed.
      I guarantee that it would AMAZE and HUMBLE you.

    HOORAY HOORAY FOR SARAH PALIN. MY KIND OF WOMAN, ABSOLUTELY. THOSE WOMEN WHO PUT HER DOWN, FOR WHATEVER REASON, BE IT HER RELIGION OR HER CLOTHES OR HER GLASSES OR THE WAY SHE WEARS HER HAIR ARE JUST PLAIN JEALOUS OF HER. ADMIT IT YOU WOMEN--YOU ARE JEALOUS OF HER. REMEMBER THAT CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL--IF YOU HAVE ONE THAT IS.

    Radical anything is bad. Radical Christianity, Radical Islamics, Radical Conservative, Radical Liberals. Moderates are the only ones on earth that have any real sense of self and others. Diplomacy is now shunned as a pansy characteristic. From all the radical view points spewing like vomit, you'd think we were being invaded by aliens.

  • Posted By: blackwater @ 10/29/2008 8:50:44 AM

    Get ready for a new move of rightousness to sweep across America. Sarah is going to to end abortions (the murdering of babies). God's hand is going to move in this nation one more time in a powerful way.

  • Posted By: kat53 @ 10/29/2008 7:59:36 AM

    I am getting tired of the left wing being critical with the right. I am Pentacostal and believe that Satan has power over the air and earth which is scriptural. Jesus cast out demons when He was on earth and He gave us power to do the same. We are not a bunch of nuts causing chaos. There will be a day when everyone will bow before the Almighty and then see who is the nut.

    • Posted By: wordsmith @ 10/29/2008 8:07:59 AM

      And I'm tired of radical right-wing, conservatives pretending that liberal America is anti-God, anti-Christ, and anti-good. Talk about lack of impartiality! Can you not argue your own personal and religious ethics without insulting someone else? If not, you doh't have much in the way of ethics to start with.

      • Posted By: mcdeere72 @ 10/29/2008 8:29:59 AM

        Yes, the left definitely isn't against God. Taking prayer out of schools, the Pledge of Allegiance, taking the Ten Commandments away from the courts, all this claiming that rights are being infringed upon. This seems like a systematic effort to eliminate God from all things. I'm not saying specifically that it's the left side media, but definitely the left side judges that make these rulings doesn't help. One of the biggest issues the Founding Fathers had was Judges making Laws from the bench and I totally see this as one of those cases.

        • Posted By: Mrs. Plinkett @ 10/29/2008 8:50:12 AM

          Actually, the ten commandments are posted at the Supreme Court in several places. There are many of us on the left of things that have a strong relationship with God, however we do not use it to harm, and to judge. When I look at the words and life of Jesus, I can't seem to find anywhere in it where Jesus said to condemn others for their beliefs. I cannot find anywhere in MY bible wher Jesus said to only love those who are just like you. Don't think that is what he meant by Love thy brother, do you? It is amazing to me that people like you, and like Palin, can invoke the name of Jesus, can claim Christianity and then immediately after that, show the most anti-Christian attitudes. It is blasphemous.

    11. Eliminate capital gains taxes on personal property and real estate sales if not used in business or to generate income. This will allow the average taxpayer to sell

    12. Clean up our boarders. Stop illegal immigrants from taking jobs away from us.
    don???t our politicians realize that illegal immigrants contribute to the destruction
    of our economy and weaken it?

    12. Get rid of those lobbyists that screw everything up. Some people say that McCain voted
    95% of the time with Bush. I ask why, maybe because the Senate and House tacked on
    more ???Pork belly??? spending just to satisfy their lobbyists and McCain was doing his job;
    looking out for the people that hired him.

    13. Term limits are becoming a necessity. Get some of those old cronies out and put in
    people that live in the real world, like Sarah Palin. People that have to work for a
    living and don???t get the high salaries our Senators and Congressmen get. We also don???t
    get expense accounts, our vehicles paid for and many other ???chits???

    14. A lot of our Senate and House are made up of lawyers; why are they making tax
    policies? Where are the accountants. Accountants should be taking on this task. These
    guys just don???t get it.

    15. Just will point out that the officials in the Senate and House certainly won???t pass any
    legislation that will make them pay more tax but they sure do vote for their wage
    increases and padding their expense accounts.

    16. We need to set limits on campaign spending to make it fair to all people who would like to run for
    an office. Get real 600M to 150M, isn???t that a little lopsided. Do not allow campaign donations,
    which exceed the set limit.

    These are just some of the things that need to be addressed. For crying out loud, use your head in this election. I am ashamed to be a democrat and that too will change.

  • Posted By: ChefKeri @ 10/29/2008 8:49:40 AM

    7. Eliminate the $102,000.00 ceiling on withholding social security. I don???t know many people now that ever reach it. The rates can be adjusted to fairly collect social security taxes. If change is made here we can save the social security system and make it sound. Do not misuse social security to fund other unnecessary programs.

    8. Cut government spending. Stop pissing away money on programs that break the bank, like 197M for rum imports, (What???s this all about?) 100M to NASCAR, (Heck we can???t even afford to patronize the races now). 51M to the Hollywood producers (don???t you think they have enough money in California, why do they need more?) and of all things 2M for wooden arrows for children. (They shouldn???t be playing with stuff like that anyway!) This is what the democrats are doing now, can you imagine what will happen when they have total control of our government? We will be in serious trouble. PERIOD.

    9. Stop creating more welfare programs. The democrats are famous for taking money out of my pocket and giving it to someone else. My family has never been able to take advantage of any of these programs. That is what happens to middle America, we pay the tab and others have the advantages.

    10. In our area, they have raised the rate on real estate taxes and now are reassessing the properties to raise their value when the market has proven that there is no way we could possible get the values they inflict on us if we need to sell.

    This video clip certainly reaffirms that Sarah Palin is who she says she is, a God fearing person of Christian faith. What you see hear is just another attempt by the media to portray her as something she isn't as evidenced by the title of the story. I attend a predominently mainstream Baptist church and the praying for protection and the laying on of hands is very common. In fact an internationally known black athlete who is a wonderful Christian attends this church and we have laid hands and prayed for him many times. The media wants people to believe that this is something weird instead of people putting their faith in God as he has commanded. The article says "Video clips of Sarah Palin attending Alaska church services have raised questions about her views on Christianity and government". Give me a break. Raising questions by who. Don't these liberal extremist who will do and say anthing to get Obama elected understand that for God fearing Americans this video is a refreshing testiment that Sarah Palin is actually who she says she is. I ask, where is this same evidence about Obama. Although certainly more controversy and inconsistancies surround Obama faith or lack of it, the media chooses to give him a free pass. How many articles do you see on this or any of the other mainstream media outlets that call into question Obama's religous and spiritial beliefs. If they are real reporters looking for a story, boy there it is. But sadly they are not looking for a story, they are simply attempting to aid in the election of a man.

    The article misses that Palin doesn't just indicate the mix of religion and politics is in the manner of "we pray we're doing God's will." She has explicitly stated that as her visiting Pastor (Muthee, the "witch-hunter") invoked God to give her the governorship, and because she won, this is proof of the special relationship with God that she, and her Church, enjoy. Here's what Palin said: "He's (Muthee's) really bold. He didn't pray, 'Lord, if it be your will, may she become governor,' no he just prayed for it, he said, 'Lord, make a way, make a way, and let her do this next step [to become governor], and that is exactly what happened and again, very very powerful, coming from this Church, so that was awesome about Pastor Muthee, yep."
    Does anyone else see the problem? This is exactly what people have said in expressing alarm over her fundamentalist views. She is expressly distinguishing between "pray to God, let his will be done," and saying "Pray to God that X is done, and as X was done, this is evidence of the special "power" of our Church." This is crazy! It is precisely the kind of thing that those who have criticized her on this line have been saying - that any political action to be taken has the imprimatur of God's will, and because of her, and her Church's 'special power' in relationship with God, it will be manifested. I couldn't care less if she wishes to believe this - whatever brings you peace, fine. But to carry this over into the reins of power - manifestly dangerous, in my opinion..

    Well...kattalover, I have to say that everyone knows the bible was not written in English, and it wasn't written by God himself. What I am wondering though, is what the author of the bible has to do with this video clip?

    • Posted By: baybay @ 10/29/2008 8:49:13 AM

      Yes it was written by God Himself. He used many great men to copy down His words. One questions for you: HOW DO YOU THINK SO MANY DIFFERENT MEN FROM DIFFERENT GENERATIONS & DIFFERENT LANGUAGES WROTE DOWN THE SAME STORIES??
      My dear friend, God CERTAINLY DID write the Holy Bible.

    3. Further look at the Schedule A deductions and the ceiling limits placed by our
    government. In order to qualify for medical deductions you have to exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.
    That is income from all sources less deductions allowed on the 1040, pg 1.
    Consequently, if your adjusted gross income is $50,000.00 you have to spend more than $3,750.00 in order to receive a deduction. That deduction is for the amount over the $3,750.00. In other words if you spend $5000.00 you can only use $1250.00 on the schedule the schedule A since these deductions have to exceed the Standard deduction in order for it to be to the taxpayer???s advantage. The same thing applies to miscellaneous deductions (employee business expense, etc.) using a 2%

    4. Also, let me point out that people that make over $150,000.00 have limitations on deductions in many areas. Don???t be misled; they don???t have that many advantages. The itemized deductions are limited as well as losses on rental property and exemption amounts. No way can they claim the child care credit either. Obama conveniently throws stuff out there but doesn???t explain it.


    5. Lets fix the system to help the average taxpayer; eliminate the marriage tax penalty. It applies to paying tax on social security benefits. Singles get a $25000.00 ceiling but married couples only get $35000.00. Each partner should be allowed $25000.00 which would be double what singles get.

    6. Don???t be concerned about giving Corporations tax breaks. If we don???t do it they won???t expand and will not hire. Further, they will only pass the increases to us; the consumer. Incentives bring business to an area. In so doing, jobs are created and the tax base is increased, consequently, it helps to keep real estate taxes down.

    Why is Sarah mocked for her religous beliefs but once again, obama gets a free ride from the media on his paster and beliefs? I don't think I have ever seen such a coordinated media efforts to discredit anyone. Why is it that a Govenor from Alaska so much more inexperienced that a (hick) govenor from Arkansas?

    • Posted By: benluclar @ 10/29/2008 8:47:51 AM

      Yes, isn't it ironic that the liberal news media has actually ELECTED a PRESIDENT?
      I wonder did they realize they actually had the power to do so.
      It is actually unsettling that power exists.

  • Posted By: RosieAndretti @ 10/29/2008 8:47:31 AM

    Sarah flips her bang to the right side not left. This person is an imposter & this vide was recently made to smear sarah one more time.

  • Posted By: tbeck12926 @ 10/29/2008 8:27:25 AM

    Wow, what issue for Joe the Plumber? He personally would benefit under Obama's plan! Please look deeper into issues besides just believing what you hear. Tell me how many people earn taxable income over $250,000 per year? A very very small percentage and then their taxes would only be raised on the amount over the $250,000 threshold. Guess we have a lot of very rich Republican out there!

    • Posted By: bo7968 @ 10/29/2008 8:47:21 AM

      The rich republicans will either stay the same, stop growing because they are paying more taxes, reduce their work force to try and stay in business, or just get out becasue the American dream no longer exist. However, we can jump for joy that the American government is spreading the wealth by handing out more welfare checks.
