Palin, who was elected Governor in 2007, is Alaska’s youngest governor and the first female governor of the state. She just recently gave birth to her fifth child, Trig. Palin spoke of the faith challenge she faced when learning that Trig would be a Downs Syndrome child. However, she and her husband, Todd, believe that every child is a gift of God, deserving of life, and that God was asking them to accept His will for their lives. The Alaska District Council believes that the State of Alaska is blessed to have a woman of faith and courage as Governor.

Them's some rather damning facts.

"Dominionist"?

lol

That's what they come up with? "Dominionist"?

What are the Kos Kids? Powerlessness-ists? Anarchists? Milquetoast-ists?

lol

To have "dominion" means to "exercise responsible control over." It's like "stewardship."

Not "rape pillage plunder and exploit."

That's for Islamists.

21 godfrey  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 4:05:43pm

They're referring to Genesis. "Have dominion over the beasts and fishes," etc. As if that is ever taken to mean "the Ruination of Creation is legitimized by God."

This is just another Lie of the Left.

22 CIA Reject  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 4:05:55pm

Gee, that didn't take long.

Although it's hardly surprising when you consider that the Palin selection casts into stark contrast the difference between the two tickets. McCain with an established (and now reinforced) reputation as a “maverick” has chosen a former governor of Alaska, Americas last frontier, while BO has chosen a consummate Washington insider. You can’t get any clearer a divide between the ticket of self-sufficiency, and the ticket of the “nanny state”.

I'm sure the very concept of independence and self-sufficiency scares the living snot out of the average Kossack

23 FrogMarch  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 4:06:10pm

They're just getting started. The next two days are going to be interesting over in HuffDUKosistan.

I wouldn't call it a waste of time for any strong-stomached types to hang out over there this weekend and pick things out for a "Mysoginy of the Daily Kos" series.

28 rawmuse  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 4:06:59pm

I'd be willing to bet that she does not have to disown her pastor, for political expediency.

29 Charles  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 4:07:06pm

Dominionism is real enough, but the evidence given in this Kos Kid's post that Palin follows that line is slim to nonexistent. I looked into some of it, and found several distortions, including the same 'creationist' distortion I posted about earlier.

30 simpleman  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 4:07:53pm

Anton Chekhov (my personal hero) once remarked that he knew he was being true because he was being attacked by both the right and the left. (This was after the publication of his stories based on his trips through Siberian prison camps). Prior to that he published "Peasants." Probably the most human-ly told story in existence.

If that's the only thing they have on Gov. Palin, I don't think we have to worry much: they seem to accuse every religious conservative of that to some degree. They even cited the creationism smear Charles noted in the last thread.

PALIN = PALADIN HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL! THIS IS A BRILLIANT CHESS MOVE ON THE PART OF JOHNNY- SHE IS A GUN FOR HIRE TO SLAY THE EVIL OBAMA!
[Link: en.wikipedia.org...]
The knight symbol is in reference to his name—possibly a nickname or working name—and his occupation as a champion-for-hire (see paladin). The theme song of the series refers to him as "a knight without armor." In addition, Paladin drew a parallel between his methods and the chess piece's movement: "It's a chess piece, the most versatile on the board. It can move in eight different directions, over obstacles, and it's always unexpected."

(What F*cking hyprocrites and reactionaries!)

Yes, only they get to decide what a progressive woman should be. You see a woman who has made it on her own is not as progressive as one who let her husband treat her like dirt and humiliate her and she quietly put up with it because he promised her a Senate seat.

If the Republicans ever attacked a woman the way Palin has been attacked today, the press would be having mass fits. But see, only liberal women are important. Sexist hypocrites.

94 hillbilly geek  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 4:19:57pm

As Gustav is reminding us, there's a bit of a gap between claiming Dominion, and actually being able to exercise it.
From a technical/theological standpoint, it's also instructive to observe that the Lord gave dominion to an unfallen Adam and Eve, with their innocence intact.
The more extreme fringes of this philosophy do advocate "Christian sharia", if you will. The. more. extreme. fringes.

To watch how fast and how far the left will attack her as a woman will be fascinating. Completely predictable but fascinating. Already, I heard an attack on her bashing her over how could she be a good mother while being VP. The hypocrisy wer're about to witness will be unlike anything we've ever seen. Unprecedented

Evening guys! Probably what they are really upset about is McCain's inspired choice, and shifting into "Maverick" mode. I love McCain's refusal to approve ear-marks and his ability to stand on his two feet, and buck the system. I don't always agree with his views, but I applaud his choice for VP. McCain's choice for VP: Inspiring! Obama's choice: boring. This highlights the vast difference in thinking of the candidates. Obama claims he is for change, but is vague about the idea and then selects Biden who is not the sharpest knife on the block when it comes to intelligence or actually getting something done. Whilst Palin has a solid record of reform and conservative values as Mayor and Governor. Plus, she is female and fairly attractive! Great move by McCain! I am excited and all my lib friends at work think I am severely misguided!

Yes, only they get to decide what a progressive woman should be. You see a woman who has made it on her own is not as progressive as one who let her husband treat her like dirt and humiliate her and she quietly put up with it because he promised her a Senate seat.

If the Republicans ever attacked a woman the way Palin has been attacked today, the press would be having mass fits. But see, only liberal women are important. Sexist hypocrites.

Also note that the Dominionists will be supporting this choice simply because she is conservative and Christian, it's a get on the bus or get left behind moment, they will be taking a seat. Let's not let that distract us.

You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them…And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustration

Well, if she goes up against an incument McCain, it's and uphill battle. If she goes up against Palin, Hillary'll get her ass handed to her.

No matter what, the Obamessiah is up shit crick without a paddle.

Hey Roberts, how about all them working Mothers on CNN staff. They shooting daggers your way yet?

Seriously, this Roberts comment should be made quickly into a campaign ad. It is so revolting on so many levels and highlights the scumbag press and the hypocrisy of many on the left so completely. It will really piss off the die hard Hillary PUMAs, perhaps to a level that will negate their reservations about Palins prolife stance.

You think I'm stupid.

You think I'm going to fall for it.

You think that because I loved Hillary Clinton, gave money to Hillary Clinton, stood in the freezing rain for two hours to see her speak, put a sticker on my car, wore my pin around town, and supported Hillary Clinton to the very end, that I will vote for you.

You think I will forget every single one of my personal and political values just because there's a vagina on your pro-war, anti-woman, anti-science ticket.

You, Senator McCain, are wrong.

I'd love to see a woman in the White House. I would have loved to see a woman on Obama's ticket.

But not this woman.

Not a woman who thinks decisions about my body should be made by hateful old men in Washington.

Not a woman who thinks science is a myth.

Not a woman who thinks the Republican party has anything to offer besides more war, higher taxes, oil dependency, and hate.

I am not falling for it, Senator McCain.

Because what you do not understand is that my support for Hillary was not about anatomy. It was about values. Hillary Clinton articulated and represented my dreams.

You do not. Not even with a vagina on your pathetic ticket.

This changes nothing.

No way. No how. No McCain.

Part of a diary over there:

He said he was actually scared what someone like her could do being so soooo in experienced. It really struck me. I hadn't really had time to think about it but he was so immediately turned off by this pick that he told me that he would not vote for McCain, and later that day, he signed up for the first time in his life to volunteer for the Obama Campaign. So in closing, I would like to thank the McCain campaign for picking such a horrible candidate that it actually convinced my father to do something to stop you and Palin from destroying my country. To wrap up this diary, I will leave you with, possibly the best part of my dads rant. When he found out where she was from he yelled "Alaska! Thats hardly even America!"

That post captured it in a nutshell. I don't know what you guys have been reading, but this woman is NOT a choice that any Democrat would be happy with. Whatever she is or is not, she is a staunch religious conservative and that is not going to win over any Hillary supporters and quite frankly, any of the fence sitters.

As if there were any Dems to win over. The Dem convention brought them all home. Well any that would make a voting difference anyway.

You are right that it isn't about Hillary. When it comes down to it, and the PUMAs lick their wounds, they will vote Democrat because that is what they are after all.

OK, as owner of the smartest dog on the planet, I have to take exception to that. We left my my big old Akita alone in the house some years back. He had--poor guy--a bout of the runs and rather than break his house training, tried to get outside through the kitchen and living room windows--all of which were locked. He went upstairs and knocked out a screen in my daughter's room, went out on the roof and did his business. Unfortunately for him, he disturbed a wasp nest when he punched out the screen, so he was stranded on the roof until we came home. The neighbors thought I was nutty already, but to have 100 lbs of Akita perched on the roof, looking down on the passer-bys like a demented mountain goat cemented that opinion for good.

The old boy is 13 and can still open the back gate and take himself for walks. If he had opposable thumbs, he cold probably drive the car.

I'm certain Hillary is PISSED! Her entire strategy has been built around the assumption that McCain will be a 1 term president and she will get to run against some "typical white guy" like Romney or Pawlenty in 2012 and win that election the same way she beat another TWG, Rick Lazio< in 2000.

Now the environment has changed SIGNIFICANTLY

Whatever she is or is not, she is a staunch religious conservative and that is not going to win over any Hillary supporters and quite frankly, any of the fence sitters.

As if there were any Dems to win over. The Dem convention brought them all home. Well any that would make a voting difference anyway.

You are right that it isn't about Hillary. When it comes down to it, and the PUMAs lick their wounds, they will vote Democrat because that is what they are after all.

All I can say in response to John Robert's ignorant comment about Palin is this:

Married women with special needs children go to work every day in this country. Many work long hours to help support their families. You obviously underestimate a woman's capacity to work and care for hearth and home too, let alone her ability to do so despite having a child with special needs. Also, she is married. She's not a single parent, so aren't you also underestimating her husband's role as a parent?

Stick to what you know best. Although I'm not sure what that is exactly.

Isn't poodle a French breed? What a very bad idea.


Sounds right for that candidate and his "foreign policy" views.
Poodles are also very iffy with kids. Some are great, some are downright nasty.


I really hate to do this, but no: they were originally German (pudle, means "water", or "puddle" dog). The French royal ladies got involved, and downsized the original (standard) model.

I had one when I was in high school: absolute finest dog I ever had.
Was descended from a winner of Wimbledon.
I got her for free because she had brown eyes, and couldn't be shown.
So I trained her to hunt pheasants, ducks, geese, quail, and squirrels.
I shot a pheasant once, and just winged it. The dog took off after the winged bird, and disappeared. Two hours later, she shows back up with a live wounded pheasant in her mouth.

68 lbs, I kept her in the "puppy" clip. Nothing fancy.
Pupsodent was her name. Kids of the family that owned the bitch named her that from a variation of the commercial "You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent". Changed the "e" to a "u" and it stuck.

No, I haven't, but I'm an English teacher. Here's a book review you may find helpful: [Link: amte.sdsu.edu...]

I think the premise makes a lot of sense: elementary ed majors may not know the best way to teach the understanding of the concepts of math, even though they know how to do the math.

I make the same argument about teaching grammar because English ed majors (and English majors, for that matter) are not taught how to teach grammar any more.

Contrast Palin's CHOICE to deliver a full-term BABY -- even when she knew it had Down's Syndrome -- with Obamessiah's view that, if a woman CHOOSES to abort her BABY, she has a right to a dead child -- this is not a misstatement of his leftist-enhanced view, it is a fact.

Palin's world-view, that every life is a gift from God and must be deserving of life, prompted that CHOICE.

I predict that the attacks upon Palin, the church she goes to, the denomination the church is part of and anyone who believes in Jesus Christ are just beginning and will rapidly ratchet up in intensity.
Speaking as a Christian, I don't enjoy the uninformed spewing and raging of The KKos Kultists and their ilk (masochists might enjoy that sort of thing, normal folks don't), I know where the attacks are coming from.

But she can surround herself with experts and appointees who agree with her worldview and we'd have a great government, while if 0bama did that, we'd have a disaster.

Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v.
