1 Samuel 16:1 (paraphrase): The Lord said to Concerned Christian Fundamentalist Voters (CCFV): "How long will you grieve over John McCain who anti-Biblically selected inferior-gender weaker-sex Sarah Palin as his VP running mate, seeing I have rejected them from you all voting them in as President and Vice-President over America? Get on the internet, and go; I will send you to third-party websites, for I have provided for myself presidential and vice-presidential candidates among their people."
2 And the CCFV replied, "How can we go? If McCain and the GOP hear it, they will kill us." And the Lord said, "You shall endorse for Me them whom I name to you."
4 The CCFV did what the Lord commanded, and they investigated potential presidential and vice-presidential candidates.
6 When they found them on the web, they looked on Ron Paul and thought, "Surely the Lord's anointed is him."
7 But the Lord said to the CCFV, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the Lord sees not as man sees; man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart."
8 Then the CCFV discovered Bob Barr. And He said, "Neither has the Lord chosen this one."
9 Then the CCFV found out about Alan Keyes. And He said, "Neither has the Lord chosen this one."
10 And the CCFV searched through almost all of the candidates. And the webmaster knew that the Lord had not chosen these."
11 And the CCFV searched one more time on Google, wondering, "Have I discovered ALL the possible candidates?" And using Google the webmaster found out that there remained yet Baldwin and Castle of the Constitution Party, but hey, they never have gotten many votes in any election. And the CCFV said to the webmaster, "Promote him in a special website; for we will not sit down till it is posted on the web."
12 And the webmaster did so. Now Baldwin and Castle were males, intelligent, and ready to become President and Vice-President, then work with a Congress full of mostly democrat and republican senators and representatives. And the Lord said, "Arise, endorse them; for these are they."
13 Then the CCFV copied the webmaster's webpage, info, and began an intense e-mail campaign, endorsing them in the midst of the other candidates; and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon Baldwin and Castle from that day forward.
14 Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from McCain and Palin, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented them.
Who is Chuck Baldwin? He is the pastor of Crossroad Baptist Church, which he founded when he was 23 years old, and political activist whose in 1980 took a leadership role in Florida's branch of the Moral Majority.
At the end of April 2008, Baldwin officially became the nominee of the Constitution Party, founded (as the U.S. Taxpayers Party) in 1990 as a vehicle for the conservative movement broker Howard Phillips. Phillips travelled around the country uniting disaffected right-wingers and Christian fundamentalists disenchanted with largely-ignore-the-abortion-issue Bob Dole who, in 1992, put him on the ballot as their presidential candidate. Cash-poor, the Phillips campaign got very little media attention, and got only 43,000 votes. In the three following presidential campaigns, Phillip's party could never place better than a distant fifth.
Baldwin, who was the Constitution Party's 2004 vice-presidential candidate, thinks the ground has shifted, particularly with the anti-Scriptural feminist-sexist selection by John McCain of VP running mate Sarah Palin.
There are many unhappy citizens who have expressed their disappointment by giving time and money to such men as Ron Paul, Ralph Nader, Alan Keyes, and Bob Barr.
Baldwin appeals to a very specific segment of the Ron Paul base. They're national sovereignty voters, people who see and feel their livelihoods under threat of a crushing, encroaching antisemitic and anti-Christian world government, and falsely-"evangelical," pseudo-Biblical, cadre of mainline democrats, republicans, and their Scripture-disregarding-and-misinterpreting and mis-applying followers.
Baldwin took their measure in a mid-2007 column that attempted to explain that donors were rank-and-file, tax-paying citizens who are sick and tired of out-of-control federal spending and deficits, who have had it with a so-called war on "terrorism" resulting in trillions of dollars sent to nations throughout the Middle East, while refuses to close our own borders to illegal immigration and terrorists because of "do-not-discriminate-against-minority-women-and-arab-terrorists" purported "civil" and "equal" "rights." They have had it with personal-privacy-depriving "war on drugs" and "war on terror" being used as excuses to trample people's freedoms....have had it with the NAFTA North American Union.
Howard Phillips himself nominated Baldwin over Alan Keyes by telling delegates "a friend of Ron Paul" could help the party tap into The Revolution. "In his heart Ron Paul knows that Chuck Baldwin is right," Phillips said, "and that if the Paul people are to support anyone, it's Chuck Baldwin."
Since then, Paul's coalition has moved in a predictable manner. The more libertarian-minded members have organized a Republican Party insurgency or sidled up to Bob Barr. The more sovereignty-minded Bible-oriented members have lined up with Baldwin. Texas radio host Alex Jones, the Paul backer who sees the influence of the Bilderberg Group behind every corner, quickly endorsed Baldwin as an alternative to "that CIA agent" Barr. "I wouldn't trust Bob Barr as far as I could throw him," Jones said. "I trust you. Ron Paul better put his support behind you once he is out of it."
Baldwin's view of the financial industry is darker than Paul's, and it comes from a different place. Where Paul worries about the influence of the Federal Reserve, Baldwin compares "international bankers" to "the money changers in the temple," rousted out by Jesus. "It's been the desire of some, throughout history, to merge the world economically," Baldwin says. "This is all driven by greed, money, and power. The thing these people always lacked was the technology to make this possible. Now it's there, and there are forces in business and in government that desire to create a global economy, and you can't have a global economy unless you have global government to run it."
Anyone who backed Paul to inject immoral libertarianism into the national debate will hesitate endorsing Baldwin. That doesn't matter to Baldwin. While libertarians squabble about whether Paul was a boon or a blow to their ideas, Baldwin has reaped the benefits of the best exposure that national sovereignty conservatives have gotten in decades. "About half of our volunteers came out of the Ron Paul campaign," he speculates.
What claim does Baldwin have on those voters? A pretty serious one, actually. The Paul campaign became a vessel for some brands of cosmopolitan libertarianism, and in states like Nevada and Montana, where Paul placed second and won the independent vote, he pulled in anti-war voters who'd given up on the Republican Party.
But the coalition was so fractious that its members are moving back to their regular political poles. Paul is disinterested in "leading" them, hoping instead on another outbreak of spontaneous order. Paul's campaign was a booster shot for Baldwin's brand of conservatism; in the end, it might be one of the campaign's most lasting impacts.
"We're going to criss-cross the country," Baldwin says. "We're going to take our message of freedom and liberty, putting Washington back in order economically, closing our borders, repealing NAFTA, and restoring constitutional government all across America. This is just the beginning."

Largest 3rd Party Presidential Candidate To Challenge Major Parties
Kansas City, Mo. (April 26,2008) The Constitution Party chose a presidential candidate at a nominating convention held this weekend in Kansas City, MO. Former Constitution Party Vice Presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin was chosen by delegates from state affiliates of the third largest federally-recognized political party, based on voter registrations (www.ballot-access.org).
Baldwin, a pastor, writer and conservative talk show host won the nomination from a field of eight prospective nominees, including former U.N. Ambassador and Asst. Secretary of State in the Reagan administration, Dr. Alan Keyes.
Baldwin, who founded the Crossroad Baptist Church in Pensacola, Florida, addressed the Constitution Party delegates in a passionate speech that outlined his concern that elected officials from both the Republican and Democrat parties had abandoned the principles of limited government.
Baldwin decried the bi-partisan complicity that has allowed the illegal, immoral, unconstitutional war that has resulted in the slaughter of four thousand American soldiers and untold innocent Iraqis. Baldwin went on to point out that "If elected, I will end the lunacy that sends Americans abroad to guard the borders of Iraq, while leaving our borders wide open, inviting illegals to plunder the wealth and good will of American citizens." Baldwin's remarks were interrupted by a number of thunderous standing ovations making it clear his message resonated with the party faithful.
Chuck Baldwin, a Constitution Party member for a number of years, promised, that if elected he would work to protect the lives of the unborn, abolish the IRS and the Federal Reserve, support home schooling, and eliminate vast numbers of unconstitutional federal programs like the Department of Energy ("we have more than enough oil in Alaska") and Social Security ("which is nothing more than socialism"). Baldwin promised to "get the U.S. out of the U.N. and the U.N. out of the U.S.," to abolish the department of Homeland Security and to end foreign aid.
Constitution Party delegates chose Baldwin over Dr. Alan Keyes, by a vote of 384 to 126.
Alan Keyes is a principled and remarkably gifted statesman, and we hope he chooses to join the Constitution Party and support our efforts; however, when all was said and done, the delegates were apparently persuaded that Chuck Baldwin was more aligned with our party's platform especially on issues like the U.N., the Iraq war and foreign aid, commented Constitution Party National Committee Chairman Jim Clymer.
Chuck Baldwin said his Washington-outsider status would likely be considered a plus in this election, saying many dissatisfied Americans have come to view political insiders as carriers of "big government disease." Baldwin vowed to honor his oath to uphold the Constitution. He acknowledged that the Christian principles of our Founding documents guaranteed liberty for people of all creeds, and pledge(d) to cultivate a climate in D.C. which reins in government and reminds those in power they are bound by limits set in place by our Constitution.
Chuck Baldwin is a citizen of the United States of America just like you and me. The difference is that he is not an elected politician offering the same old political answers. Chuck Baldwin has talked the talk and walked the walk. He doesn't have a history of flip-flops and he does not test the wind every time he takes a position. Refreshing isn't it? Have you ever thought what you would do if you were elected President of the United States? Chuck has done just that and he is providing the right answers to the important questions.
Chuck Baldwin was born in La Porte, Indiana on May 3, 1952. He is married to the former Miss Connie Kay Cole. Chuck and Connie were married on June 2, 1973 after meeting in college. They have three cherished and wonderful children and all three are married with families of their own.
Chuck graduated from La Porte High School in 1971 and attended Midwestern Baptist College in Pontiac, Michigan for two years. After he and Connie married and upon graduation they moved to Lynchburg, Virginia where he enrolled in Liberty Bible Institute at Liberty University.

The program is considered to be the most influential voice in the Florida Panhandle for conservative principles. Thousands of citizens are informed and rally to a call to action on issues that are so important to our nation's future.
Chuck is also a newspaper and internet columnist whose articles and political commentaries are carried by a host of internet sites, newspapers, and news magazines.
He has had the honor of meeting with former Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush, Sr. and Governors Bob Martinez, Fob James, Jr. and Jeb Bush.

Did you know that 52 of the 56 signers of The Declaration of Independence were orthodox, deeply committed Christians? The other four all believed in the Bible as the divine truth, the God of scripture, and His personal intervention.
Immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of scripture for the people of this nation.
Was Patrick Henry a Christian? These are the words he wrote shortly before his death: 'I have disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give to them, and that is the Christian religion. If they had that and I had not given them one cent, they would be rich. If they have not that, and I had given them the world, they would be poor.'
Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote on the front of his well- worn Bible: 'I am a Christian, that is to say a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our Creator and, I hope, to the pure doctrine of Jesus also.'
Consider these words from George Washington, the Father of our Nation, in his farewell speech on September 19, 1796:
'It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible. Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, our religion and morality are the indispensable supporters. Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that our national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.'
Was George Washington a Christian? Consider these words from his personal prayer book: 'Oh, eternal and everlasting God, direct my thoughts, words and work. Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the lamb and purge my heart by the Holy Spirit. Daily, frame me more and more in the likeness of thy son, Jesus Christ, that living in thy fear, and dying in thy favor, I may in thy appointed time obtain the resurrection of the justified unto eternal life. Bless, O Lord, the whole race of mankind and let the world be filled with the knowledge of thy son, Jesus Christ.'
Consider these words by John Adams, our second president:
He stated that when we select our national leaders, if we are to preserve our Nation, we must select Christians. 'Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian Nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.'
John Quincy Adams, son of John Adams, was the sixth U.S. President.
He was also the chairman of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role. On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, 'The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.'
Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United States reaffirmed this truth when he wrote, 'The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country.'
In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution: 'The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools.'
William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which was used for over 100 years in our public schools with over 125 million copies sold. President Lincoln called him the 'Schoolmaster of the Nation.'
Listen to these words of Mr. McGuffey: 'The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our notions on character of God, on the great moral Governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free institutions. From no source has the author drawn more conspicuously than from the sacred Scriptures. From all these extracts from the Bible I make no apology.'
Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly Christian, including the first.
Harvard University, chartered in 1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook rule number 1 was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they could study the scriptures:
'Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, John 17:3; and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning. And seeing the Lord only giveth wisdom, let everyone seriously set himself by prayer in secret to seek it of him (Proverbs 2:3).' For over 100 years, more than 50% of all Harvard graduates were pastors!
It is clear from history that the Bible and the Christian faith were foundational in our educational and judicial system.
The Constitution Party gratefully acknowledges the blessing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of these United States. We hereby appeal to Him for mercy, aid, comfort, guidance and the protection of His Providence as we work to restore and preserve these United States.
The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations.......
The U.S. Constitution established a Republic rooted in Biblical law, administered by representatives who are Constitutionally elected by the citizens......
(German Luther 1912) 1 Timothy 2:12 = Einem Weibe aber gestatte ich nicht, daß sie lehre, auch nicht, daß sie des Mannes Herr sei, sondern stille sei.
(RVR 1960) 1 Timothy 2:12 = Porque no permito a la mujer enseñar, ni ejercer dominio sobre el hombre, sino estar en silencio.
(NKJV) 1 Timothy 2:12 = I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
There are a lot of noteworthy platitudes expressed by the sign-carrying and internet-commenting activists of minor political parties during campaigns in this 2008 American election for President, Vice-President, and a controlling majority of the Senate and House of Representatives of some-incumbant/some-new candidates to comprise the new Congress.
Regardless of if any presidential and vice-presidential candidates of the Constitution Party, The Independence Party, the Reform Party, the Libertarian Party, Ron Paul's whatever, etc. get what presently seems to be the impossible (i.e. enough votes of a majority of American voters) to actually become the President and Vice President and/or winners of lesser-hierarchy government-official offices (such as U.S. senators or U.S. Representatives), such will have to work with and be moderated by a majority of different-party congressmen, both of the Senate and the House.
It is conceivable that a minor party having males only on the executive-office ticket will have a viable chance of changing the dissatisfying status quo to an extent no one could ever have predicted.
A massive lack of money and publicity structure for political advertising will, of course, inhibit those of minor political parties from presenting themselves as electable to the general voting public.
Innovative yet non-anarchistic methods must be used for that to occur, and the organizational cooperation and individual discipline for such to happen is almost not imaginable, to say the least.
As Christ sort of said: "When one comes against you with 30,000 [major-party] troops, and you only have 10,000 [minor-party] troops, you send an ambassador to beg terms of peace."
If reform within a major party is not possible, then launching out into the unknown with only the Bible, a few thousand dollars, a couple wifi computers, some vehicles and printing apparatus, CB radios, etc. only scratches the surface of what is required to compete against the overwhelming power of the Republican and Democrat Party political-election machines.
A prophetic understanding and belief of the dire predicament of what will happen in the near future under what Revelation chapter 13 describes should be kept in mind, but such should not limit one's God-given responsibility to do all and whatever one can now to donate and not donate to who one should and should not, to campaign for and against who one should and should not, and do whatever the Lord calls and enables the patriotic citizen to do - even to the point of doing what our founding fathers did when fleeing tyrannical England to a different location to form a militarily-self-sufficient and militarily-non-defeatable new country with new currency able to independently sustain themselves internationally.
Some religious heretics - both men and women - are deceptively and/or ignorantly equating the Deborah and Esther of the Old Testament with feminist-sexist wanna-be-VP Sarah Palin.
Scripture never states that Deborah was a king or military leader in Israel.
In Judges chapter 4 (giving the record of what actually Deborah did), the
chapter starts out (v. 5) stating that Deborah was merely a prophetess judging Israel to whom Israel came for judgment.
Consider these verses:
Judges 4:9 And she said, "I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the road on which you are going will not lead to your glory, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." Then Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Judges 4:10 And Barak summoned Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and ten thousand men went up at his heels; and Deborah went up with him.
Judges 4:14 And Deborah said to Barak, "Up! For this is the day in which the Lord has given Sisera into your hand. Does not the Lord go out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.
Judges 5:1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abino-am on that day:
Judges 5:12 "Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, lead away your captives, O son of Abino-am.
Notice in verse 9 that the glory for war victory was not given to wimp-pussy Barak who would not fight unless Debbie was with him.
Notice in verse 14 that ten thousand MEN followed BARAK (NOT Deborah) into battle.
Notice in verse 12 that Deborah merely uttered a song, while Barak led away
captives.
Notice, in stark contrast to mere advisor Debbie, what combat soldier Barak did:
Judges 4:6 She sent and summoned Barak the son of Abino-am from Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, "The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you, "Go, gather your men at Mount Tabor, taking ten thousand from the tribe of Naphtali and the tribe of Zebulun.
Judges 4:8 Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go."
Judges 4:9 And she said, "I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the road on which you are going will not lead to your glory, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." Then Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Judges 4:10 And Barak summoned Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and ten thousand men went up at his heels; and Deborah went up with him.
Judges 4:12 When Sisera was told that Barak the son of Abino-am had gone up to Mount Tabor,
Judges 4:14 And Deborah said to Barak, "Up! For this is the day in which the Lord has given Sisera into your hand. Does not the Lord go out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.
Judges 4:15 And the Lord routed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army before Barak at the edge of the sword; and Sisera alighted from his chariot and fled away on foot.
Judges 4:16 And Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth-ha-goiim, and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not a man was left.
Finally, notice that credit is NOT given to Deborah (she is not even mentioned
in the references below!) but rather to Barak:
1 Samuel 12:11 And the Lord sent Jerubbaal and Barak, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you dwelt in safety.
Hebrews 11:32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets-
Next, we look at Esther.
WHAT was Esther's accomplishment? Was it to further feminist sexism in the style of insubordinate and nonsubmissive DEPOSED former-queen Vashti?
Was it to chauvenistically gain power for women to take over Persian government and control men under female authority?
Was it to insinuate or promote Christian pro-life/anti-abortion public policy by not aborting a Downs Syndrome baby and by highlighting a not-so-sacred indecently-hairstyled and fornicated 17-year-old daughter also not willing (for whatever causes) to publicly abort her illegitimate baby? Did Esther "come to royalty for such a time and purpose as this?" Obviously NOT!
Or was it rather to prevent her people from being murdered because of their race? Please give a rhetorical yes to that one. Can we REALLY misrepresent Obama as some alleged Haman intending to murder all anti-abortionists in America when elected? He sure had not said that in any of his speeches, to my knowledge.
Esther was submissive to her king husband Ahasuerus; the sexist arrogance Sarah Palin publicly displays is anything but quiet humility.
Many people, including other women, have complained that non-domestic non-stay-at-home politically-ambitious-to-compete-against-men Sarah Palin is not giving her young-children family the time and attention a stay-at-home mom should give. They are entirely supported by Scripture:
Titus 2:5 [Train the younger women] to be sensible, chaste, domestic, kind, and submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be discredited.
Consider the sexual-harassment Sarah Palin plans as Vice President of the United States:
1 Timothy 5:13 Besides that, they learn to be idlers, gadding about from house to house, and not only idlers but gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not.
Some feminist sexist reporters, analysts, and others misstate that those who oppose Sarah Palin as VP are [purportedly]: "sexist."
ACTUALLY, those reporters, analysts, and other THEMSELVES are satanically sexist, and are turning things inside-out and upside-down, as Isaiah states:
Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
Isaiah 29:16 You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay; that the thing made should say of its maker, "He did not make me"; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding"?
Whether the GOP planned this sneak move months previously to promote Sarah Palin from city council member and mayor......to governor of Alaska all of a sudden among a sparse and easily-manipulatible small group of people.....should be investigated. Being governor for a mere 1.5 years compared to a Biden of 25+ years of FAR-greater national and international experience is noteworthy. Even an Obama who has survived Chicago gangland, physically and politically - yet come out alive and unscathed - has significantly more experience and success to cite.
Could not McCain have instead selected anti-abortion MALE Mitt Romney to further anti-abortion policy objectives? DID he have to pander to pro-abortion-homicide Clintonite feminists to vainly get their votes? HAS he not lost MUCH respect and trust among fundamentalists genuine Christians by promoting a member of the inferior-gender weaker sex to be his VP running mate? Will such not dearly cost him and the GOP on Election Day?
DOES a woman have the capacity to do what a man can do as well as a man?
Let's see if we see a pattern all throughout the Bible that obviously applies to all people of all times of all locations:
Leviticus 27:1-7 (paraphrased): A human male is worth more than a human female.
Ecclesiastes 7:27-28 (paraphrased): I could not find one politically-adequate woman among a thousand people, though I did find one man.
Isaiah 3:12 (paraphrased): My people: Shrieking, spoiled, brat children are their oppressors, and don't-abuse-kids-by-spanking-them feminist-sexist women rule over them.....causing shocking-noise terrorism, confusion, chaos, hatred, and anger.
Nahum 3:13 (paraphrased): Hey, your national-guard troops are women in your midst; fire has devoured your 9112001 Trade-Tower bars and quite a number of needless casualties in Iraq.
I Corinthians 11:1-16 (paraphrased): The head of a man is Christ, and the head of a woman is her husband......It is not the custom of the churches of God to consider a woman's loose long hair adequate as a veil nor a prayer covering.
I Corinthians 14:33-39 (paraphrased): As in all the churches of God, the women must keep silence and are not allowed to speak, even to give announcements or being Scripture lecturn readers during offical Sunday morning church services.
I Peter 3:7 (paraphrased): Husbands, live considerately with your wives, given honor to the woman as to the weaker gender, that your prayers be not hindered.
SHOULD Sarah Palin be a heartbeat away from the proposed presidency an aging McCain who has already been afflicted with serious diseases of body and mind:
I Timothy 2:12-15 = I allow NO woman to teach nor have authority over men; she is to keep silent. For Adam was formed first, not Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, being deceived, became a transgressor. Yet women will be saved by bearing children, if they continue in faith and holiness, with modesty.
Sarah Palin's bare-naked shortened-skirted legs on stage at the RNC were anything but modest. Nor is her unpredictably-occasional mopheaded loose long hair......violating Isaiah 47:1-4 (RSV) concerning the nude legs and disregarding the inferences and implications of both RSV's Numbers 5:18 and Song of Solomon 7:5.
