Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told ministry students at her former church that the United States sent troops to fight in the Iraq war on a "task that is from God." In an address last June, the Republican vice presidential candidate also urged ministry students to pray for a plan to build a $30 billion natural gas pipeline in the state, calling it "God's will." Palin asked the students to pray for the troops in Iraq, and noted that her eldest son, Track, was expected to be deployed there. "Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God," she said. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God's plan." A video of the speech was posted at the Wasilla Assembly of God's Web site before finding its way on to other sites on the Internet. Palin told graduating students of the church's School of Ministry, "What I need to do is strike a deal with you guys." As they preached the love of Jesus throughout Alaska, she said, she'd work to implement God's will from the governor's office, including creating jobs by building a pipeline to bring North Slope natural gas to North American markets. "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 and 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," she added. "But really all of that stuff doesn't do any good if the people of Alaska's heart isn't right with God." Palin attended the evangelical church from the time she was a teenager until 2002, the church said in a statement posted on its Web site. She has continued to attend special conferences and meetings there. Religious conservatives have welcomed her selection as John McCain's running mate. Rob Boston, a spokesman for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, lamented Palin's comments. "I miss the days when pastors delivered sermons and politicians delivered political speeches," he said. "The United States is increasingly diverse religiously. The job of a president is to unify all those different people and bring them together around policy goals, not to act as a kind of national pastor and bring people to God." The section of the church's Web site where videos of past sermons were posted was shut down Wednesday, and a message was posted saying that the site "was never intended to handle the traffic it has received in the last few days."
Poster Comment: some folks think the same of the Afghanistan war now too.

So much for her "libertarianism" and "independence." Sarah Palin = George W. Bush with tits.
Not that hard to understand. All you have to do is recognize what god she is referring to. The man I study the Bible with asked me who the Jews worship, and he supplied the answer. "Money." Reading the rest of her speech would clear up any doubt about who she is in tune with. In which case, it should read like this; "Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from Mammon,"
When a man who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, he will either quit being mistaken or cease to be honest. ++++++++++ Attention, Shrub; A life of evil is ultimately a life of wretchedness.
Palin and McCain, the Blues Brothers.
The Blues Brothers was the first thing that popped into my mind.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
Big ones too. Seriously though, I did research on her when I was still at El Pee because yuktard claims to be an Alaskan and I enjoyed pointing out that I was related to her because it torqued him off. Her dispensationalist/NeoCon viewpoint on killing, endless bloodshed, and war is a distinct turn-off. One cannot support evil and them claim that support to be righteous. Evil is still evil regardless of how many coats of theocratic paint one puts on it.

why the Blues Bros?

Some people never come around and see the fallacy of blind allegiance to a nation (and a people) that only takes our money without a word of thanks. It took me 46 years to "wake up" and see the light.
The Blues Brothers were on a "mission from God."
i've obviously never seen the film. ;)

"Citizen Kane" it ain't.
... and even more dangerous a "religious dogma" or the "Church"
"Every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its power but the truth is the Federal Reserve Board has usurped the Government of the United States." "Mr. Chairman, the people of the United States did not perceive that a world system was being set up here that the United States was to be lowered to the position of a coolie country. . and was to supply financial power to an international superstate -- a superstate controlled by international bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave the World for their own pleasure."
