MOVE 2008: Sarah Palin is a Spirit-filled Protestant

Get ready evangelicals, we finally have a Protestant, a Pentecostal gearing up for the White House. And oh yeah, she’s a woman too.

But, did you hear about this one, broke by the Dallas Morning News?

This gun-totin’, oil-drillin’, PTA-workin’, pro-life-preachin’ mommy is very saved as her family are members of the Wasilia (AK) Assemblies of God church. That’s charismatic faith people!

Here is an excerpt from the Anchorage Daily News that I’m certain every evangelical publication will enjoy:

Palin’s parents say they are not political and don’t know how she decided to turn her ambition and work ethic toward politics. Her Christian faith, they say, came from her mother, who took her children to area Bible churches as they were growing up (Sarah is the third of four siblings). They say her faith has been steady since high school, when she led the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and grew stronger as she sought out believers in her college years.

Now this woman rockin’ the smoking hot-for-teacher look is about to have everything she knows – and is – vetted for the public’s consumption:

• Her NRA lifetime and union membership.
• Her own lack of experience in federal issues (even though she is the top executive of a state that has about as many people in it as say, DELAWARE).
• Her ambiguity in foreign affairs.
• The fact that five years ago, she’s fishing for dinner and her husband is racing across Alaska on a snow machine.
• And there’s already an ethics question during her gubernatorial campaign.
• You name it, the media sharks will circle around it and see if it floats.

Whatever happens during this campaign, it’s that foundation of faith, her belief in Jesus Christ that will sustain her throughout this loop-dee-loop, 65-day roller coaster. Good on ya’, Gov. Get your Rosetta Stone crash-course  on national security and prepare for the nation.

Pray for her, saints. She’s going to need it. You go girl!

Huckabee to Obama: “Duck!”

Now that Mike Huckabee is no longer running for President, he is picking up his treasure chest and filling it up with royalties from speaking opportunities for the next four years.

This week, we find Ol’ Huck at the annual NRA convention in Louisville, KY. Considering he is an educated man – and a GODLY ONE too – one would think he would have consulted his history books (as well as the Spirit of God) for this little tryst in American history called, “The Civil Rights Movement.”

You see, as you will note in the video clip of the accompanying story, in the middle of Huckabee’s address, there was a loud noise backstage, to which he doltishly replies:

“That was Barack Obama, he just tripped off a chair, he’s getting ready to speak,” said the former Arkansas governor, to audience laughter. “Somebody aimed a gun at him and he dove for the floor.”

I’m sorry. This is a family forum and one that seeks the heart of the Lord, but what the…

Seriously? In the midst of the most historic presidential election of ever, a Christian and a former hopeful candidate (who understands a thing or two about security detail) thought he would pull a funny and offer humorous insight about the demise of Lincoln, Kennedy (both of them) and what narrowly escaped Reagan – a bullet aimed at this office.

But this lighthearted quip would be foreshadowing because you know there are some torpid, brain-dead lovers of guns that still consider the 3/5 Compromise a viable and valuable piece of legislation.

So, even though the NRA (which I support in premise by the way, in case you were trying to peg me party-wise… MEMO to those – stop trying and keep reading the wall, it’s the issues that matter) evidently thought this was good for a giggle, it wasn’t. And shame on those that did, including the speaker.

If any wall watcher has an ‘in’ to the former Governor, please send him this riveting video. Maybe after viewing it, he (and the hebetudinous patrons of the convention) will understand some things just ain’t funny.

But alas, as the Five Stairsteps brilliantly sing in this call to action, “Someday…”
