This election is the perfect storm.
Two massive ideological fronts in American history are colliding.
The cold front of Obama’s Marxism vs. The hot weather pattern of Palin’s Pentecostal Dispensationalism.
If a person can’t find twisted entertainment in this there is something seriously wrong with them. Indeed, I would contend that this may be the best programming that TV has seen in decades.

If Sarah Palin really is a Christian then shouldn’t II Cor. 6 apply to her decision to run for VP? II Cor. 6 teaches that Christians are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Is Sarah disobeying Christ’s Word by yoking herself with McCain.
Stretching out this point a bit I can’t understand how a Christian voting for pagan candidates likewise isn’t an un-biblical yoke.

Wouldn’t you just love to know what Levi Johnston (Father of Bristol Palin’s child) is thinking about all of this. Talk about suddenly getting caught up in the middle of a perfect crap storm. One day you’re playing hockey during the day and getting satisfaction from your girlfriend at night, the next day you have the world’s camera’s zeroed in on you.

The media continues to try and destroy Palin. ABC last night, following Palin’s speech, focused on scandal’s (Trooper-gate) brewing in Alaska surrounding her work as the Alaska governor.
This morning it is being reported by National Enquirer (the magazine that broke the John Edwards love child) that Palin had an affair during her marriage with her husband’s business partner.
As I’ve said, the media realizes the stakes of all this and is dedicated to destroying Palin.

Palin is a spear at the heart of Biblical social order. Feminism was easy for Christians to oppose when it produced ugly, angry, bitter and ideologically anti-Christ women like Pelosi, Clinton, Milkuski, et. al. Now, however feminism has coughed up a feminist who is easy on the eyes, humorous, whimsical, and pentecostal Christian. This is the kind of feminism that will overturn the vision of Biblical social order.

Palin was introduced to the Jew think tank yesterday. (I wonder when she meets with the Peruvian think tank?) It seems that Jews instinctively get nervous with putatively conservative candidates on presidential tickets. The members of the Jew think tank were calmed by being told that Palin had a small Israeli flag hanging in her office.
Now, this is a bit of conjecture, but when you combine Palin’s pentecostal dispensational background with the reality that she has a Israeli flag hanging in her office, combined with some comments out there by her regarding fighting in the middle east and one has to wonder how that dispensational theology is affecting her thinking.

Some have wondered if Palin is a neo-con — a kind of female version of Mike Huckabee. I think it is to early to speak on that. I didn’t like Huckabee because of his anti-homeschooling work as well as his slick character. Palin is reputed to be a Pat Buchanan fan. No neo-con would get anywhere near Buchanan.
Well, judging from the speech her foreign policy views, especially vis-a-vis Russia, seem neoconservative. But it doesn’t really matter either way–she’ll have to tow the McCain administration line, which will not be Buchananite or even close.
Joshua,
I’d be willing to bet that she is neo-con in foreign policy. I agree that she have to kow-tow to McCain. Shoot, I’ll bet you that if McCain is elected he’ll forget what Sarah Palin looks like — so seldom will he consult her.

where the neo-con and McCain/Palin support of
Israel can lead the U.S.

Brandoman,
Interesting article. Gary North wrote something similar about 10 days ago when he noted the US naval muscle in the straits of hormuz.
I would be very surprised if Bush doesn’t do something with regard to Iran before he lives office. Further, I believe such action would help the McCain Palin ticket as Americans tend to rally around the flag in conflict.
Sometimes I think that if one problem on the American political scene could be solved it would be the erasure of neo-con ideology.
Darrell,
That’s a good point about those Biblical characters. I’ll have to give that some thought. Certainly, whenever the II Cor. 6 passage is appealed to it is appealed to in these kind of situations.
Anybody else want to weigh in on Darrell’s observation?
Thanks for commenting,
I hope you won’t mind my opinion about the “unequally yoked” question Darrell asks, but weren’t all those he mentioned forced to be under the yoke of oppressive regimes and rulers as a consequence of Israel’s disobedience? In those circumstances, we have to submit as far as we are able, but still remain prophetic in our relations with the evil ruler, even disobeying them when called upon to disobey God. At such times, God shows His mighty power when His people remain faithful. However, to *choose* to form an alliance with an evil regime is asking for God’s curse and rejecting His sovereignty. There are other examples of this all through the books of Kings and Chronicles.
I know I don’t have any executive experience or foreign policy know-how, but that seems to be the picture portrayed throughout God’s Word.
You help run a family of 12. That’s plenty of executive experience for me. And you entertained people from Michigan which might count as foreign policy know-how.
And I don’t mind at all. Not even in the least.
Thanks for your insights Carmon.
