13. The Left does not "completely misunderstand" church culture! Ridiculous!
We know that because Dubya repented and was born again, he was able to mislead a whole bunch of fundamentalists. Clearly, they liked that sinner.

We know fundamentalists pretend to welcome all sinners but are very hypocritical in that. Just a pretense. Only welcome sinners who have repented to their version of God.

We know those bottom lines. But when we're criticizing that hypocrisy, we're not trying to convince the Wahabi Christians (aka Christian Taliban). We're reminding moderates and independents that these fundamentalists are often lying hypocrites. That they are extremists who seek to impose social controls they themselves violate quite regularly.

We're reminding moderates and independents that as much as the fundies talk up their abstinence programs, they do not work. Even with committed parents like the Palins.

We're reminding moderates and independents that Sarah wanted Creationism taught in Science class, and issuing a warning.

We understand fundamentalist Christian culture. We also know fundies are a fringe group. Palin is part of the extremist fringes.
