Sarah and Jerry Boykin Share Stage at Colorado Christian U.//UPDATE//UPDATE 1.1
May 3, 2011
The Colorado Independent offers a fine preview of this “patriotic/Christian” event.
Conservatives4Palin site promised live streaming, but all it does is crash my browser.
Probably God telling me not to bother paying attention.
Even God must have limits when it comes to Sarahspeak.
UPDATE:
Jason Salzman at http://bigmedia.org writes that “neither Boykin nor Palin is going to discuss Islam,” and says: “She and Boykin should be asked the question that the organizer of tonight’s event posed but refused to answer, ‘Can a good Muslim be a good American?'”
Don’t hold your breath for either the question or answer. Although I think we know that if they were honest, both Palin and Boykin would have to answer, “No.” Their God is for evangelical Christian dominionists only. It’s not a big tent. Leave your shoes and rationality at the door before entering. But bring your guns, willful ignorance, intolerance and cross-hair maps. Donations to the cause gratefully accepted–especially by Sarah.
UPDATE 1.1
ABC News’ Claton Sandell reports from Lakewood, Colo.:
Sarah Palin gave passing praise to President Obama’s “decisive leadership” in the operation to kill Osama bin Laden, though in a speech here Monday night the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate did not once use Obama’s name.
“We want to thank our president,” Palin said, but then she quickly shifted focus to the previous administration for having laid the groundwork.
“We thank President Bush for having made the right calls to set up this victory,” Palin told a cheering crowd.
So Sarah mentioned Bush by name, but not Obama. One thing about people devoid of class: they’re consistent.
Hey, tomorrow is a new day. And Sarah will get up in the morning and realize that she’ll have to live with herself throughout it.
No wonder–as I report in THE ROGUE–she used to come home when she was mayor of Wasilla and go to bed at 4 p.m. with a box of chocolates and a handful of celebrity picture magazines.
Living with that self for sixteen hours a day would exhaust any of us.
Sarah back in her Element Tomorrow: Colorado Christian University
May 1, 2011
In the afterglow of her chock-full-o-celebrities weekend in Washington, and hard on the heels of her $115,000 speech at a junior college in California today, Sarah will be back among her own kind tomorrow at Colorado Christian University. From the CCU website:
“What We Believe”
Colorado Christian University unites with the broad, historic evangelical faith rather than affiliating with any specific denomination. In this commitment, the University embraces the following declarations of the National Association of Evangelicals:
We Believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We Believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We Believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We Believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We Believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We Believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We Believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Sarah will be joined by retired Lt. Gen. William G. “My God can beat up your God” Boykin.
Boykin’s long list of flagrant offenses against decency and democracy is itemized in the “Controversies” section of his Wikipedia profile.
Boykin’s presence on stage tomorrow will make Sarah’s appearance at Colorado Christian one of those rare occasions when she might not be the nuttiest person in the room.
How about a Palin-Boykin Evangelical Third Party ticket in 2012?
