Sarah Palin is confusing the Left and the mainstream media.<\/p>\n
And should we be surprised? In their myopic view of the world, they lack the ability to focus in on anything but that which surrounds them – anything but that which they are already engaged with. Within the realm of their understanding it seems to be nothing short of ludicrous that John McCain would seriously present the likes of Sarah Palin as candidate for Vice President of the United States. Their refined rationalism recoils at the thought of a right-wing, former small-town mayor, gun-lovin’, pro-life, Bible-believing woman being second in command – a mere heartbeat away from becoming POTUS. Indeed, the vile attacks levied against Palin, since her addition to the ticket, are all too telling.<\/p>\n
John Podhoertz<\/a> links to a NY Times article<\/a> (HT: Crunchy Con<\/a>) which illustrates the myopia of the media. From the NY Times article,<\/p>\n You mean that, as a Christian, she believes that the sovereign God (of the Bible) has… a will? That said God also has… a plan? And that we are to pray to said God for his will to be done through… his plan?<\/p>\n Horrors!<\/p>\n Perhaps the reporters for the NY Times piece, in their zest for research, should do a bit of it on what constitutes the Christian faith, not to mention finding out what the Bible says on the subject.<\/p>\n Better yet, how about they take Melinda’s suggestion<\/a>, and listen to some of the sermons<\/a> from the pastor at the church which Palin attends (sort of an end-around on the whole Jeremiah-Wright thing).<\/p>\n
