Palin

Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin was an active member in making the extremist changes in her church. Among the things they did were:
1. Palin’s church ran members to take over the school board. Once elected, they insisted that the school teach their brand of creationism and not the facts of evolution. Another valley activist, Philip Munger, reported that she told him that she believed the earth is only 7000 years old and that humans walked with dinosaurs. They also pushed the schools to teach only abstinence in the classrooms instead of birth control. We all know the results of that for Palin’s family.
2. They ran members to take over the local hospital board. Their first act was to ban abortions. This was overturned by the Alaska Supreme Court. Palin even joined protesters outside a doctor’s office to prevent women from exercising their right to choice.
3. After Palin was elected to city council, she tried to force the city’s library to ban over 90 books, including, the Harry Potter books and Twelfth Night by Shakespeare. This failed so when she was elected mayor, she tried to fire the librarian. This failed but the librarian eventually retired.
4. "So Sambo beat the bitch!" This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama's win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination. According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat's primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.
5. On a questionnaire, sponsored by Eagle Forum Alaska, a conservative group, asked, “Will you support an effort to expand hate crime laws?” She said no.
6. Palin believes that gays have made an evil choice and that they need to be sent to “retraining” camps. Gov. Sarah Palin's church is currently promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.
7. Palin's churches are actively involved in a resurgent movement that was declared heretical by the Assemblies of God in 1949. This is the same 'Spiritual Warfare' movement that was featured in the award winning movie, "Jesus Camp," which showed young children being trained to do battle for the Lord. At least three of four of Palin's churches are involved with major organizations and leaders of this movement, which is referred to as The Third Wave of the Holy Spirit or the New Apostolic Reformation. The movement is training a young Joel's Army to take dominion over the United States and the world.
8. When a local minister, Howard Bess, tried to teach tolerance of homosexuals, his books got removed from all local bookstores. A local newspaper ran a cartoon showing drooling child molesters welcome to his church.
9. One of her top priorities is to pass an amendment to the US Constitution to ban gay marriage.
10. Opposes adoption rights for LGBT Americans.
11. Her belief that the end of the world will come in her time has led her to oppose the listing of the polar bear as an endangered species and to spend Alaska taxpayer money defeating a statewide initiative to end aerial shooting of wolves.
Her preacher:
According to the Christian Science Monitor, six months of fervent prayer and research identified the source of the witchcraft as a local woman called Mama Jane, who ran a "divination" center called the Emmanuel Clinic.Her alleged involvement in fortune-telling and the fact that she lived near the site of a number of fatal car accidents led Muthee to publicly declare her a witch responsible for the town's ills and order her to offer her up her soul for salvation or leave Kiambu.Says the Monitor, "Muthee held a crusade that 'brought about 200 people to Christ.'" They set up around-the-clock prayer intercession in the basement of a grocery store and eventually, says the pastor, "the demonic influence -- the 'principality' over Kiambu -- wasbroken," and Mama Jane fled the town.According to accounts of the witch hunt that circulated on evangelical Web sites such as Prayer Links Ministries, after Muthee declared Mama Jane a witch, the townspeople became suspicious and began to turn on her, demanding that she be stoned. Public outrage eventually led the police to raid her home, where they fired gunshots, killing a petpython they believed to be a demon.After Mama Jane was questioned by police -- and released -- she decided it was time to leave town, the account says.
In October 2005, he delivered 10 sermons at the Wasilla Assembly of God, the audio ofwhich was available on the church's Web site until it was removed around the time Palin's candidacy was announced.
It was during these sermons that Palin, who was then preparing for her gubernatorial run, was anointed by Muthee. His intercession, she says, was "awesome."Her June 8 speech was to mark the graduation of students from the Wasilla Assembly of God's Masters' Commission, which, as Pastor Ed Kalins explains, believes Alaska will be the refuge for American evangelicals upon the coming "End of Days." After her speech, Palin was presented with an honorary Masters' Commission diploma.
