A word about Sarah Palin from Lou Engle

A Word About Sarah Palin--

45 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. subpoenaed the conscience of America and drove the injustice of segregation like a wedge into the soul of the nation. The wedge has been driven again. When Senator John McCain courageously chose Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate, he drove family values back into the conscience of America.

The liberal media played into the hands of a Higher Wisdom when they injected former Vice President Dan Quayle into the debate by comparing Governor Palin to Dan Quayle. Now, everyone is beginning to realize that this election is not about a man’s charisma or his nebulous notion of change. No. This election is a battle for family values and to the victor goes the soul of this nation.Governor Palin is more than just a brilliant choice for Vice President. She and her family stand as a sign and a wonder for life and for children. They are a living parable parading in blazing Technicolor before the eyes of the whole nation. This goes way beyond elections. This is about us healing our families, regaining moral responsibility, and exhibiting forgiveness.

Palin boldly stood by her conviction that all life is sacred and chose to have her Down Syndrome child while leading her state. Senator Barack Obama, on the other hand, declared that the first thing he will do as President is pass the Freedom of Choice Act, which will remove every restriction from all abortion procedures, including many restrictions that most Americans agree with, By doing this, he will open up the doors to promote deviant sex education to kindergarteners and exclude even parents from their right to know of their underage daughter’s potential abortion.

When the pregnancy of her 17-year-old daughter became an insensitive liberal media circus, we were given a rare view into love and support as Governor Palin embraced her grandchild in her daughter’s womb as a blessing. Again, on the other hand, Obama was once quoted as saying that if his two daughters made a “mistake” and became pregnant, he would not want them to be “punished” with babies. What a stark contrast of the value of human life! The ideological beast of Obama’s worldview has been drawn out of its lair and now stands naked and exposed by Palin’s compassion and conviction. The beast is not just Quayle hunting. It is hunting our children, our nation’s destiny, and us. The rage of the media against Palin simply further exposes the moral bankruptcy, bigotry, and lack of compassion of liberalism. The media, Obama’s court prophets, have become Selma’s new sheriffs of the South beating the new heirs of the civil rights movement – the millions of unborn children attacked in the womb and countless women hurt by abortion – with their journalistic Billy Clubs and loud hectoring.

With his choice of Governor Palin as his running mate, John McCain has once again gone to war. However, this time, not in the distant lands of Vietnam and Iraq, but he has gone to war for America, for our families, and for our children. And this war, we cannot afford to lose.

This was too profound for me to not share with you all. The very foundation of our country is at stake. The future for our children is being defined in this coming election. The media wants to define who our president will be...but I believe we have a God more Powerful than any billion dollar network. We must stay strong in prayer, crying out to God to preserve the morality of this country.

Thank you for sharing that with us! I am right there with you, praying and believing in my heart--God's will be done. I have been reading 1 Peter in my bible study. It has been hard to digest about being submissive to our leaders but, the part about God placing our leaders is SO true. I pray that we are not the nation represented on television and that we stand up to their world view and let them know we won't stand for it any longer. I can almost say that we are being fed with propaganda just like the middle east is fed with hate propaganda. Kind of eery that it is happening here in the US and most people seem not to realize it!

You go girl!

That was so good to read, I couldn't agree more!!

I wish he would have gone on to explain Obama's views on Socialism. He himself has said that he wants to "redistribute the wealth" What??? Do Americans really want this?? I find it hard to believe but it seems people are getting caught up in his charisma rather then understanding the issues at hand.

I also wish the campaign would make an issue of the fact that the Democrats have control of the House and Senate, they have for 2 years! If Obama gets in we will have national health care...do people really want this??

Back to my knees I go praying that peoples eyes will be open to the truth!

wow - oh wow. it's been difficult for me to come to a decision on my feelings about palin as vp - this brings out why the decision is so difficult. women's lib would have a hey-day with me (go for it!!) but i have HUGE problems with a woman in this position of authority... how does she truly fulfill her calling as helpmeet, mother - when her first calling must needs become running our country? yet one cannot deny the values represented by this family, either. this is the other side of the struggle. i see this as our modern-day deborah crisis. in light of the lack of men who will fight for their God-granted right to husband and father and lead their country - He has allowed a woman to rise to this place. well said by lou and well shared by you - may He go to battle for us when we have not done so diligently for Him.

Thanks for sharing that. I couldn't agree more.

Deviant sexual behaviour in Kindergatners?? I think the author may want to reaserch what was actually going to be taught in the classroom of 5 year olds. Things like stranger danger, inappropriate touching, are safe guards for our kids, not an attempt at deviance.

Laura Lu said...

Jen--have you thoroughly researched it yourself? or are you going off of what you've heard?

Jenn said...

Although i have not spent hours resaerching the sex ed controversy, I have read numerous articles about it. My understanding is that this whole thing stems from some piece of legislation from 2004, in whch Obama supported updating the sex education in schools, making it ongoing from K-12 in an age appropriate manner, with the option of parents opting out. The McCain distortion that was put into ads with one liners like " Obama wants to teach sex ed before reading" was nothing more than distortion. Obama dvocates science based, accurate, age appropriate sex education. He was not advoacting sittinga bunch of 5 year olds down and explaining intercourse.

Laura Lu said...

jen--please do put some extra hours into researching this. look into the authors of the articles that you have read, before you determine what is at the core of this issue.

Jenn said...

I would love to know more as like i said I have only read a few articles. Can you tell me what I am missing? LOL
