Lying to bend the truth..
Written by ekg on September 5, 2008 – 8:50 am -Sara Palin? Why is she lying?
What’s your religion?
Christian.
Any particular…?
No. Bible-believing Christian.
What church do you attend?
A non-denominational Bible church. I was baptized Catholic as a newborn and then my family started going to non-denominational churches throughout our life.
Does she subscribe to the Bush theory you can say whatever you want and no matter how many cameras record you saying or doing the opposite, no one will care or question you?
Why do we allow this from our leaders.
Today, I brought up all the lies from Palin’s speech and someone replied “Well, they all lie”… And What!?! That makes it ok?
Palin was baptized as a teenager in Alaska at the Wasilla Assembly of God, which she and her family attended until 2002.
“The fact is she has grown up and has associated with one of our Assemblies of God churches, which is a Pentecostal church, for years,” said the Rev. Bill Welch, superintendent of the denomination’s Alaska District. “Pentecostalism is bound to have some kind of impact and influence on her.”
This is not made up, make believe, fairy tales. Just like the AIP membership there are records,witnesses and videos of her support and of her speaking at the church.
Why is she lying and why are we letting her? There are videos of her own words, videos** of active members applauding her as a member. Why are we letting her lie?
The Rev. Ed Kalnins, senior pastor at Wasilla Assembly of God since 1999, once questioned in a sermon whether people who voted for Democratic Sen. John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election would get into heaven.
Unlike most other Christians — including most evangelicals — Pentecostals believe in “baptism in the Holy Spirit.” That can manifest itself through speaking in tongues, modern-day prophesy and faith healing.
Is this why she is lying? Is she ashamed of her church and their practices ? Obviously she is not ashamed of her pastor
Her pastor for most of her time at Wasilla Assembly of God, Paul Riley, said he gave the invocation at Palin’s inauguration. As governor, she renamed the church’s street “Riley Avenue” for him
Look, if she wants to disassociate herself from the Assembly of God, OK. We still have our choice of religion in this country but, don’t lie about it damnit. Don’t tell us that you have been going to “non-denominational churches throughout our life.” It makes you like you are trying to hide something.
But maybe that’s the goal.
Really? Pray for it because it is God’s will?
The war in Iraq is God’s plan?
When did God tell you this? Does he speak to you like he speaks to George Bush?
Come on! This is not fair! Why does God only speak to the Republicans?
“I told Congress, thanks but no thanks on that bridge to nowhere ,” Palin told the cheering McCain crowd, referring to Ketchikan’s Gravina Island bridge in Alaska.
The truth is, she wasn’t even in office to be able to congress ‘no thanks’ and besides that…she supported it and when she got into office, kept the money congress gave Alaska to build it!
But Palin was for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it.
The Alaska governor campaigned in 2006 on a build-the-bridge platform, telling Ketchikan residents she felt their pain when politicians called them “nowhere.
No thanks indeed.
Ironically enough, McCain used the bridge as he example of ‘pork-spending’
While running for governor in 2006, though, Palin backed federal funding for the infamous bridge, which McCain helped make a symbol of pork barrel excess.
not only that, but after the Minnesota bridge collapsed, McCain said
“Maybe the 200,000 people who cross that bridge every day would have been safer than spending $233 million of your tax dollars on a bridge in Alaska to an island with 50 people on it.”
Why are we letting her lie?
“I can do my part in working really, really hard to get a natural gas pipeline, about a $30 billion project that’s going to create a lot of jobs for Alaska. … [but] I think God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that,” she said. “I can do my job there in developing our natural resources, in doing things like getting the roads paved and making sure our troopers have their cop cars and their uniforms and their guns, and making sure our public schools are funded. But really that stuff doesn’t do any good if the people of Alaska’s hearts aren’t right with God.”
Why is God a part of her energy policy? If Alaskans hearts aren’t right with God, then he won’t help the energy crisis? What?
I love God, but I love God my way. My God doesn’t say that if my heart isn’t right, then my Florida Power and light bill will be too high.
Why is God part of her foreign policy?
“Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God,” she exhorted the congregants. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”
Yes! Pray for our soldiers that McCain wants to leave in a war for the next 100 years. Pray for them that they will be safe. But pray for our leaders and that they are following God’s plan? Pray that our leaders are sending our soldiers out to war on a task from God?
Is it time for another crusade already?
Come on people, I know she’s a pitbull with lipstick but she’s also a liar.. And she’s the worst kind of liar. She uses her God when it benefits her, throws him away when it doesn’t and then evokes his name to sell her idea of war and energy.
People? Do you need the Republicans to win so bad that you will just say “so what?“ to this? Are you that partisan? Are you that faithful? Are you that hypocritical? What are you doing? What are you doing?
PUMA? You love this woman? This is who you choose to get into office if you can’t have Hillary? A woman so anti-Hillary that it’s almost like God planned it that way. Are you not ashamed? How can you say “I’m a Clinton supporter and Palin is my girl” Do you think Hillary would slap you on the back and agree with you? I too was a Hillary supporter, I too believe she is still the best candidate for the job, but she is not in the running anymore and I have to deal with that grief. But I will not vote for the ‘anti-Clinton’ candidate as part of that process because to me it was never about the vagina. To me it was about the person and who could do the better job. Yes I know it was stolen from her, you only have to read my past blogs to see that I totally agree with you on that front. But I was never in it just because of the vagina and anyone of you that are supporting Palin, just admit that that’s all you cared about to begin with. It had nothing to do with Clinton, it had to do with electing a woman and any woman would do. Admit the truth and stop lying to yourselves because you can’t sit there and be for both of them when they are polar opposites of each other.
Then again, Palin has pretty much come on the scene with nothing but lies…so maybe you guys have found your kindred spirit.

** two days ago I linked a video of an AIP meeting where the Vice Chair spoke of Sara Palin and of her membership to the AIP. In it he said
“Our current governor, we mentioned at the last conference, the one we were hoping would get elected, Sarah Palin, did get elected. There’s a joke, she’s a pretty good looking gal, there’s a joke goes around we’re the coldest state with the hottest governor. And there was a lot of talk about her moving up. [b]She was an AIP member before she got the job as a mayor of a small town — that was a non-partisan job. But you get along to go along — she eventually joined the Republican Party,[/b] [b]where she had all kinds of problems with their ethics, and well, I won’t go into that. She also had about an 80% approval rating, and is pretty well sympathetic to her former membership
Interestingly enough….. that video has since been removed from Youtube. What is she hiding, why is she lying and why for the love of God, are we letting her?

This comes from the Huffington Post…and is probably one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen…
