Speaking at the Wasilla Assembly of God, her former church, last year, Governor Sarah Palin asked Jesus for a $30 billion natural gas pipeline in Alaska and called the war in Iraq a “task from God.” As she put it, “Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God. That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God’s plan.” Some may suggest drafting a plan (in Washington) or reconfiguring a plan that doesn’t work or not invading Iraq in the first place. But what do these earthlings, who begin wars in the first place, know anyway?

Sounds like God is capitalist, or is HE? Could this turn into a thesis topic? Gripping...
As a Christian, I think Palin does a disservice to Christians when she justifies her extra-Biblical (i.e., pertaining to information outside of the Bible) actions and beliefs by evoking God's name. In Christian-speak: Palin is over spiritualizing.
