			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://bligbi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/gt-mag.jpg" border="0" alt="GT_Mag" width="209" height="268" align="left" /> When it comes to the excitement over Sarah Palin being offered the VP slot no one seems to exude it more than the religious right. Tony Perkins, a Southern Baptist and president of FRC, <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/frc-actions-tony-perkins-gov/story.aspx?guid={35A00DFB-1A84-45CD-83CB-9E4B9B658620}&amp;dist=hppr">declared her nomination</a> &#8220;an outstanding pick&#8221;.</p>
<p>The key words in that last sentence is &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Baptist_Convention">Southern Baptist</a>&#8221; and if there&#8217;s one thing the typical southern Baptist man may hate more than a gay man it&#8217;s a woman who doesn&#8217;t know her place.  While they may bitch about birth control, abortion and divorce, what really gets them going is women pastors.</p>
<p>So it&#8217;s no surprise that they&#8217;ve <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/female-vp-okay-female-pastors-magazine-not-okay">pulled the latest issue of Gospel Today</a> from the shelves of <em>Lifeway Christian Bookstore</em>, a national chain run by the SBC because the cover has a photo of <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">women in bikinis</span> women who are pastors in their respective churches.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s been amusing however  is how much the leaders are pretending that they&#8217;re not being hypocrites in their support for Palin while continuing to insist women must be &#8220;servant leaders&#8221; never just plain leaders <em>like the men</em>.</p>
<h3>But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.</h3>
<p>You&#8217;ll note that there&#8217;s no asterisk referring one to a note that &#8220;sit down and shut the fuck up&#8221; only applies at home and church but never in public.</p>
<p>Southern Baptists.  Keeping the Hypocrisy in Religion since 1845.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Kenneth Copeland is claiming that Mike Huckabee supports him in his &#8220;<a href="http://bligbi.com/2008/01/28/copeland-declares-holy-war-against-grassley/">holy war</a>&#8221; against Senator Grassley and that that during a conversation with Huckabee about the investigation <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2008/01/28/huckabee-copeland-grassley/">Huckabee literally screamed</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Are you kidding me? Why should I stand with them and not stand with you? They&#8217;ve only got 11 percent approval rating.&#8221; And then he said, &#8220;<strong>Kenneth Copeland, I will stand with you</strong>.&#8221; He said, &#8220;<strong>You&#8217;re trying to get prosperity to the people and they&#8217;re trying to take it away from &#8216;em</strong>.&#8221; He said, &#8220;<strong>I will stand with you any time, anywhere, on any issue</strong>.&#8221; That settled that right there. I said, &#8220;Yeah, that&#8217;s my man! That&#8217;s my man, right there.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I find it hard to believe that a Baptist, much less a <strong>Southern Baptist</strong> such as Huckabee, would support anyone preaching &#8220;prosperity&#8221; as it&#8217;s usually considered to be a corruption of &#8220;biblical&#8221; Christianity.  So, either Copeland is lying (and I don&#8217;t think he is) or Huckabee is just another hypocrite who&#8217;ll say/do anything to get the support of the faith-heads.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video of Copeland making the claim:<br />
