A lot of bloviating on the Left is being based on this story about a speech Sarah Palin made to her former church in Alaska. She's quoted by the AP as saying that the Iraq war and building a pipeline are a "task that is from God" and "God's will" respectively
This is a prime example about how the Left fails to understand Christianity. Christians, myself included, pray daily "Thy will be done." We pray for God's grace to enter our lives, in every area, every day.
I pray daily for our leaders - and yes, for our enemies - that the love of Jesus Christ enter their hearts and transform their lives.
Before the Left gets even more unhinged over Sarah Palin's faith and her belief that God's hand is in all of our daily lives, perhaps they should refer back to the closing words of President John F. Kennedy's Inagural Address:
With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.
"[I]f we fail, then the whole world,…all that we have known and cared for…will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that…men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'”
