Texas Baptist Preacher Terms Palin VP Pick ‘Anti-Family’
“I don’t see this as a pro-family pick at all!” said Voddie Baucham, a popular author and conference speaker who serves as preaching pastor at Grace Family Baptist Church in Spring, Texas. “In fact, I believe this was the anti-family pick.”
Baucham, who has spoken in several Southern Baptist venues, including the 2005 SBC Pastors Conference, says he doesn’t believe Palin can balance the responsibility of high political office with her role as Christian wife and mother.
“My point is simple,” Baucham said in a blog. “The job of a wife and mother is to be a wife and mother. Anything in addition to that must also be subservient to it. There is no higher calling. Moreover, I believe Paul’s admonition should lead us to reject any notion of a wife and mother taking on the level of responsibility that Mrs. Palin is seeking.”
Baucham said his “heart breaks” for Palin, because she has been blessed with five children but craves for something the secular world believes is “something more.”

Barnett Shale Propaganda
Those of you that live in the DFW area are pretty familiar with all the propaganda the energy companies are putting out about the benits of the Barnett Shale. Some of them are so biased that they are pretty comical, and one of them reminded me of this commercial from the Naked Gun 2 1/2, even though this commercial is about nuclear power as opposed to natural gas.
