Over at Palingates, Regina has written an articulate summary of Sarah Palin's influence and why she's still a problem, and a threat to liberty in America.

Regina references Palin's "religious lunacy", and I would like to expand on that a bit.
Palin would be an ideal tool for the extreme christian supremacists, whose hidden goals are to liteally invade our society with their prejudicial and alienating beliefs and
precepts. Why ideal? Because she's a fanatic christian dominionist, without the education in history, civics, government or comparative religion to afford her any perspective.
Ms Palin of course has never been asked publicly in
any forum that I know of to explain her views on theocracy.
No one has forced her to answer pointed questions on how the bible should be applied to society, by either informing her beliefs, or even being codified into law.
Even if she was asked such specific questions, she would obfuscate, "refudiate", and run away verbally. But her real stance is much more sinister: take America's society, and government in particular and enact theocratic based laws.
Ms Palin views herself as "under" the tutelage of such people as Pastor Muthee (the witch persecutor)who laid hands on her in her Wasilla church, and C Peter Wagner, the self appointed leader of the 7 mountains group of so-called "apostles" These characters advocate a truly medieval viewpoint to on issues ranging from children and women's rights to how the Federal government should allocate budgets. They would be her chief advisors in the White House, should
Palin ever get elected.
George W Bush & Cheny trivialized the evangelicals, while paying lip service by funding "faith based" organizations. the country.
Palin would go FAR beyond that, by appointing dominionists to nearly every office in government, and especially in her cabinet. They would support Israel in every respect, regardless of the amount of money involved.
Their first targets would be to not only defund Planned Parenthood, but to appoint the most severely prejudiced judges, overturn R.v Wade, and eventually to attack Iran.
They probably wouldn't mind a nuclear war in the mid-east, since that would play right into Armageddon and end time theology..
It is imperative that we defeat Palin should she win the nomination. Even though I'm not that big a fan of Obama, I will work tirelessly to defeat the Queen Grifter should she win the nomination.
