| Message | I MIGHT try to finish posting my comments tomorrow, I keep getting "Your message seems to contain one or more inappropriate words" every time I try to post, and I'm tired of trying to figure out WHICH words might be considered inappropriate, as there aren't any... ![]() |

| Message | The IDEAL thing would be for me to be laying on a beach in a tropical climate somewhere without a care in the world... I don't like it though when people say: "As God clearly intended." Perhaps you should word it, "As I see it after studying God's Word, I think xx..." I would also say, who says Palin is NOT tending to and raising her children? I will also say that I was wrong about her husband being the "homemaker", I heard some idiot say that on TV and did not do research before stating that... There is no reference I could find in the Bible, not sure which one you are reading, about "serve"... The Bible says submit, not serve... You can check out Eph 5 and Col 3 on that... It is actually much more demanding for the husband... Check out Eph 5:25 - 33... Where does the Bible state that a man "rules" over the wife? The husband is the "head of the wife", rule though? Christ is the head of the church, not men. "Why would he feel any differently when it comes to government?" How can you pretend to know what God would feel about a subject, based on other subjects? Ludicrous. There are many, many instances in the Bible of strong women... I better stop because I know there are word limitations that I may already be over... I'll be continuing these thoughts, trust me... ![]() |

| Message | McCain chose Palin because he thought she could help him win the election. Looks like he chose wisely. I'm not sure that her being liberty-loving had much to do with it. Let me read Judges 4 and 5 again and get back to you. I personally am completely against women in combat. Just for the record. ![]() Yes - she is accountable for her actions. I am responsible for my vote... And for letting everyone that reads my blog know that I am FOR women raising their own children. ![]() |

| Message | If it is wrong for her to be president or vice-president she will be accountable to God for that. She obviously thinks her position is Biblically sound. Whether I agree with her or not does not matter. It is on her. My responsibility is casting my vote. There is nothing in the Bible about not voting for a woman. In fact Judges 4 and 5 seem to suggest is just fine with God to follow women into battle. I do not care for McCain either but his selection of Palin shows he has not abandoned liberty loving Americans altogether, all other evidence being to the contrary. |

| Message | LOL! Yeah, I don't mind a good debate every now and then myself... Been a busy day for me though, so you guys will have to wait until the sun goes down to hear from me... I know everyone will be on pins and needles waiting... ![]() |

| Message | From my experience (my own, and people I know), the first few years are the most critical that the mother be around as much as possible. I know the father is 'around'. I addressed my thoughts on that in my post. 1. he has a full time job and 2. I disagree with the whole career-mom/stay-at-home-dad philosophy. Keep posting your opinions/thoughts - it's been an interesting debate, for sure. ![]() |

| Message | WOW! What a post! Great debate.Just want to say reiterate. The father is still around!!! He's not gone, he's there to parent as well. I know many people who were raised by their fathers who turned out to be amazing! But, she is not absent, busy but no absent. I don't think her children will suffer if she becomes VP. Heck, it is only for 4, maybe 8 years. Not forever. ![]() |

| Message | Yes, but later in that same original post I stated that I still may vote for her. Anyway - I do not know who I will vote for as of yet. I don't really like McCain. And I want to vote more for the Pres than the VP. And I still don't think a woman should be Pres. That's just my personal opinion. We are talking about: Christian, family values being misconstrued and distorted... by Christians (and so-called Christians). I don't like it. |

| Message | Your paragraph starting "But then I started reading more..." is where I got the idea you were against her being elected because of what followed. I guess I misconstrued the, "but." So you are going to vote for her. As far as disagreeing on this issue, we are not in as much disagreement as you seem to think. I believe the woman has made a poor choice for her family, actually several of them. However, it is not really any of my business unless I see it as having an impact on her ability to do the job. If it does have an impact you will need to connect the dots for me, because I do not see it. If it doesn't have an impact, what are we talking about? Until Palin came along the only person nominated for office, and on the ballot, whom I had heard, that seemed to actually believe what they said was Ralph Nader. I think she is a big improvement over him. I was beginning to consider researching the Constitution party and the Libertarian party, but it would be so pleasant to actually vote for someone who won. It has only happened to me twice in my life. |

| Message | As you can see, I had a hard time figuring out what word was inappropriate. Just for your info, it was A-d-u-l-t-s. I was stunned. It only took me 40 minutes or so to figure that one out. ![]() |
