with regressive beliefs on sex/gender roles, espousing "traditional" patriarchal view on marriage, the husband is the head of the wife, he makes the decisions, &c. I wonder why nobody has investigated this and her rise to power, which puts her outside the home and family, which is a sin, basically. Does anybody else think its odd that a conservative woman would think she has the right to enter the male public sphere? This is uppity, unfeminine behavior according to fundamentalism, and is the rightful place of her husband, her head and lord. I think she does it because Todd "approves" and gave her "permission" to be active politically, and he directs what she does politically, as her husband has the right to, according to their worldview. (Neither of them is anywhere near capable of leading this country, BTW, and in fact her selection is a joke, but a scary joke.) I'm not christian by the way, but have lived around these crazy fundamentalists in the south ...
Just a thought.
