Sarah Palin Says God Is Mocked In This Campaign Oct 22, 2008 4:48 am
Mood: Voting Sarah!, 651 Views
I love Sarah Palin! Her critics tout her lack of experience as the main reason she would be ineffective as President, but that "lack of experience" is the thing I appreciate most. I'm sick of politicians and the everyday Washington rhetoric and big government. She's like a breath of fresh air and not at all intimidated by the old fogies, comfortable with all the perks and favoritism they receive. She's for the little guy and speaks the language of simple, everyday, common Americans. I'm also impressed by her stance on the moral issues; she's against abortion and gay marriage, and not afraid to speak of her faith in God. These days, that's a rare commodity and something I look for in a candidate.

Since her nomination, Sarah Palin has possibly been the most talked about Vice Presidential candidate in history.

She has faced intense media scrutiny and in an exclusive interview, she tells CBN News that her faith in God has been mocked during this Presidential campaign. What she has heard plenty of, are the attacks against her -- especially her Christian faith.

"Faith and God in general has been mocked through this campaign, and that breaks my heart."

Newspaper editorials have taken shots at her Pentecostal upbringing. The liberal blogosphere has chimed in and yes, Saturday Night Live has taken their shots too.

"People would misconstrue and spin anything that has to do with my faith or anybody else's and turn it into something to be mocked. That's very sad," she said. "I don't think that there's anything that I can do about it, so you know, I won't… whine or complain about it, but nobody is going to convince me that my foundation of faith is not good for me and for my family no matter the mocking, no matter what anybody says about it."

Palin dedicated herself to the Lord as a middle-schooler complete with an Alaska lake baptism. It's an event she calls 'significant" because she realized there was something bigger than her out there.

"As you're raised up out of the water it's like 'hey world, this is my confession of faith that I'm going to try to lead and live my life according to my belief that God as my Creator has good plans for all of us, and we are to seek those plans and seek the destiny that he has for all of us,"' Palin said.

"I pray of course for about my family that my kids will not be adversely affected by some of the political shots of course that, that we've been taking the last couple of months. I pray for my son's safety over in Iraq fighting for us in a striker brigade in the US Army and for all of our troops," she said.

"It will take God's hand of protection to be continually over our land and His wisdom, His grace, His favor I pray for that for our country."

At this time, in our ever-increasing culture of evil, speaking of one's faith can be political suicide, but Sarah stands up for God, makes no bones about praying daily and seeking His will; personally, I'm proud to endorse a candidate that endorses God. For me, that's more important than experience because when you have God leading you and guiding you, that's ALL you need.

You go Sarah!!!
