  Palin needs to define her position on Joel's Army

  Joel's Army is the Pentacostal version of Dominionist christian belief.

  Ernie Gruen...who initially promoted and gave citywide credibility to KCF pastors in the early 1980s, cut his connections in 1990. Concerned about KCF's plans to push its teachings worldwide, Gruen published a 132-page insider's account, based on taped sermons and conversations and interviews with parents who had enrolled their kids in KCF's Dominion school.

  According to Gruen's report, students at the school were taught that they were a "super-race" of the "elected seed" of all the best bloodlines of all generations -- foreknown, predestined, and hand-selected from billions of others to be part of the "end-time Omega generation."

  They are taught that they are called to kill other Christians in order to establish a theocratic govt - they preach an overthrow of the U.S. govt., in other words.

  CBS, ABC, CNN, NBC etc. need to ask Palin if she shares the beliefs of Joel's Army or if she would, then and there, publicly disavow this group as heretical. Fascist Christianity that is currently ascendant in the U.S. It is a direct threat to democracy. The rest of us ignore or laugh them off at our peril.

  Oh, and the charismatic leader of Joel's Army is a convicted pedophile.
