A New Palin Controversy
My, my. When American journalists want to, they are suddenly very well able to find something to report. Especially when this ‘ something’ is something bad about a Republican politician.
Ever since John McCain announced Sarah Palin would be his running mate, liberal American journalists have done their best to find something - anything - about either herself or her family that could possibly hurt her. They discovered that her 17-year old daughter was pregnant and put it on the front paper of the nation’s biggest newspapers. CNN worked overtime to inform Americans about this important piece of news.
But it was not enough to do something about the popularity of Palin. Polls showed she became more, instead of less popular. So they had to find something else. And something else they found; her church is in the business of converting gays.
Yes, that’s right, her church has the audacity to try to ‘convert’ gay people into heterosexuals.
Indirectly, that is. You see, it is ‘promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.’
“You’ll be encouraged by the power of God’s love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality,” according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed for about six years.
Now, this is not even remotely as bad as Barack Obama’s anti-white and anti-Semitic church, of course, but that is of little to no interest to the enlightened members of the far-left media. After all, it’s all about destroying Palin and making sure Republicans won’t win in November.
The AP is, however, kind enough to point out that gay people in Alaska say she has not ‘actively’ worked against their interests as governor. By all accounts, her social conservatism based on Christianity is tolerant, or at least not aggressive.
Many Christians - like it or not - believe homosexuality to be a sin. They are not bothered by it themselves, they simply fear for the future, read afterlife, of those with ‘alternative lifestyles.’ Praying for the ‘conversion’ of gays, then, is not an act of aggression or of intolerance but of compassion for these people.
Certainly, her kind of compassion and her religious views will not make her popular among militant gays but, then again, it is unlikely that such people considered voting for the Republican ticket in the first place.
Anyway, just to be sure she should probably distance herself publicly from this conference. Just so the media stop obsessing over it. On the other hand, not distancing herself will result in the media blowing this thing up, reporting time and again, without realizing that doing so causes little to no damage to the Republican nominee for the vice presidency.
As such, it could be said it would be wise for her not to distance herself from the conference.
American reporters all too often forget that the average American - and Westerner for that matter - is not as anti-religion and anti-social conservatism as they are.
The funny part is, the press has no proof of this.
It’s probably as fake as the photoshopped image of Sarah Palin in a bikini, or as fake as the news that Sarah Palin pressures schools to teach creationism (this turned out to be false, she doesn’t pressure anyone to teach anything).
I’m starting to wonder what exactly is the AP? An organization like the HuffingtonPost, politico, or CNN taking sides with Liberals all the time, their stories seem to hint at that.
I think if you want somewhat unbiased news you have to probably watch Fox News, because they don’t always become partisan with silly arguments. And they do have a lot of Liberal commentators and contributors.
IF it is true, and that seems to be far from certain, they need to watch the old movie "But I’m a Cheerleader".
