Over the past few days, I've done reporting on Sarah Palin's extensive dominionist connections--including the attempt to run her as a "stealth" dominionist candidate and her connections to some scary dominionist groups including not just "Joel's Army" folks but a far-right Christian Reconstructionist political party linked to domestic terrorism.
As bad as all this--and the scandals regarding her misrule in both Wasilla and as state governor--are, there's apparently still more.
Today, we find that part of those funding scandals include the tax money of Alaskans used to pay for youth programs at Juneau Christian Center. We also reveal info regarding a particularly disturbing Assemblies frontgroup Palin recently did a talk at, and we go into researching the dominionist connections of her most recent church--Wasilla Bible Church. |

Hockey mom Sarah Palin got a great reaction during her convention speech with an unscripted joke (which she also used somewhere the day before) addressed to her fellow hockey moms. Noticing the "Hockey Mom" signs being waved in the audience, Palin quipped:
"You know, they say, the difference between a hockey Mom and a pitbull?… Lipstick!"
Where did she get this line? It couldn't have been adapted from the sexist comments of John Hagee, the "spiritual advisor" whose endorsement John McCain was forced to renounce after his heinous anti-semitic statements and his calling the Catholic Church the "great whore" came to light, (causing McCain the evangelical vote worries that made him have to pick someone like Palin), could it?
In a particularly demeaning to women part of his book, What Every Man Wants in a Woman, Hagee wrote:
"Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling Doberman pinscher? The answer is lipstick."
Hmmm... mighty similar...

Republican operatives and religious conservatives are ecstatic over Sarah Palin. Most of all, they are ecstatic that she is a "pro-life" mother who chose not to have an abortion after she found of she was carrying a Down's Syndrome baby.
She chose? Really? |

A few days ago, I wrote one of the first articles out there regarding Sarah Palin's VP nomination as a "stealth dominionist"--a "stealther" with extensive Assemblies connections (and to particularly scary segments of the Assemblies, as we'll get into) as well as dominionist orgs like Campus Crusade frontgroups and deceptive "feminist" anti-reproductive-healthcare groups.
The thing is, I may have just scratched the surface.
Much has been made of the recent revelation that Sarah Palin may be connected to the "Alaska Independence Party", but not revealed is its connection to the far-right Constitution Party--and she not only has attempted censorious campaigns in office, but was also apparently put in the GOP vice-presidential spot by none other than the kingmakers of the dominionist movement in the US. |
The big news, obviously, in the blogosphere today is John McCain's surprise pick for the Republican veep nominee--a relative unknown by the name of Sarah Palin, whom--at least in the more conventional political circles-- would appear to be a complete cypher.
Unfortunately, if one digs just a bit deeper, Palin is found to have some very interesting--and very disturbing--connections...among them, being potentially the first Assemblies-linked VP candidate and having a number of links to dominionist groups targeting kids via "bait and switch" evangelism. |

Yesterday the media was all atwitter about Karl Rove's supposed Republican V.P. pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. However, it seems that instead SBC President Richard Land, well known among readers of Talk2Action for his rabid support of a theocratic, Christian Reconstructionist agenda among Southern Baptists, got his choice... Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. |

Schubert Flint Public Affairs has been hired to run the Yes on Prop. 8 ( "Protect Marriage") initiative. If you've happened to notice the names Jennifer Kerns, Frank Schubert, or Jeff Flint in media coverage of California's Proposition 8 initiative, that would be because they all work for Schubert Flint. After the break, I've posted an invitation from Schubert Flint Public Affairs to join them for an Open House on August 14th to celebrate the opening of their new Irvine office. For reasons of my own (also posted after the break), my initial impulse when I saw this invitation was not to RSVP, but rather, to wonder if some other response might not be more appropriate for such an event? What would you suggest? |

Promoted from the diaries -- FC
Alabama voters should be made aware that Matt Chancey opposes"one person, one vote" suffrage, apparently on religious grounds.
Matt Chancey, a Republican, is running for president of the Alabama Public Service Commission, and he and his wife Jennie teach that it is a sin (or at the very least, is highly inadvisable) for women to vote, hold political office, attend college, or work outside the home. These views are expounded upon at great length on Jennie Chancey's website,Ladies Against Feminism.
Matt Chancey is also on very intimate terms with Doug Phillips, the president and founder of Vision Forum Ministries, a major homeschooling curriculum company. Phillips also teaches that God doesn't allow women to vote or hold office. |

Late last year, Congress agreed to a request from President Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against Iran, according to current and former military, intelligence, and congressional sources...Everything is justified in terms of fighting the global war on terror. |

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official."-Theodore Roosevelt |
4th July, Independence Day. I was at a party in Paris. As usual, when one of the guests learned that he was speaking to an American the conversation turned to the election and Obama. My French acquaintance seemed very confident that all would be well come November when Obama enters the White House. While I would be happy to share his hopefulness, I told him I was disappointed to learn that Obama has given his support to one of the most unconstitutional of Bush's policies -- faith based initiatives. |
