I look at people like Roberts as I would look at a not-too-bright five year old. Pat them on the head and tell them to have some cookies and milk. Or wave a shiny object in their faces to amuse them. Too dumb to be taken seriously. Think Cher or Roseanne Barr.
I doubt Palin would’ve made a squat of difference good or bad, like Mccain would even listen to her good ideas. fantasy land here....we would still be in debt but probably 4 trillion less. we probably would still have high unemployment(because of the debt)oh, and path to citizenship, “you betcha” would be on limbaugh and hannity everyday stating how legalizing all these people would be great for the GOP. We would have had a bigger part in Lybia, and syria would be another war...but I guess if we want to daydream about a Mccain/palin administration we can look at Romney’s
I’m not sure to whom “those guys” refers. Guessing it’s Catholics. And indeed we do have rules. Among them is the complete description of baptism which includes two non-water varieties (blood & desire) most protestants fail to recognize. More importantly, those “rules” never saddle a baby or child (or anyone without malintent) with a sin (in this case, “lapsing”) they never meant to commit—thus the illustration of my sisters’ zeal in water-baptizing (btw, they bapized all the pets, too).
I think anyone who catches the implication of the word “Protestant” realizes that the Church protested against couldn’t possibly be a member of the protest-club.
So far as the Huguenots go, you never mentioned America. South Carolina (particularly the Beaufort/Charleston area) has maintained a community for at least two centures. But I wouldn’t consider them any more evangelical than Episcopalians. Like the Episcopalians, they don’t “evangelize,” don’t publicly preach (and simplify) the gospels.
Currently the French government has an agency making a long term study of the lack of Evangelical churches in the Vondee (probably 'cause Louis XIV killed 'em).
As the Evangelical Huguenots evacuated France they joined Protestant groups abroad ~ of every kind.
You'll notice that I said Sarah said she was aware of her baptism as a baby. From that point on she's conscious of her choice.
Baptisms of pets don't count ~ they live in a state of grace.
There are an amazingly large number of writers in the MSM who do that.
I think it suggests that they are too ignorant of Christianity to be allowed to talk about it.

LOL, only you could go to such lengths to attempt spread confusion about something like American Evangelicals and Protestants.
I said nothing about “American Evangelicals” but if you want to ignore history and the Huguenots when you talk about “Evangelical churches’ go right ahead. But do so knowing that you are not correct.
You are wrong enough for both of us with your McCain/Palin confusion.
I hope the Romney people are not going to start attacking Palin for her deep faith now.
“I believe in women’s reproductive rights.” Translation: she believes in abortions. Why don’t the libs have the courage to state the obvious?
The authoress' interpretations (such as they are) and insights (such as they aren't) bring to mind a navel-gazing imbecile drooling on her own chest, and being amazed at her inherent genius in so doing. Drawing simile between the "Heaven" of an O'Bunghole administration and the "Purgatory" of an imagined McCain/Palin White House, drawing upon the deeply flawed and entirely man-made dictates of Catholicism's inbred mythology to support her otherwise insipid premises, both are hallmarks of the type of malignantly deluded grandeur with which these Liberal üntermensch regard themselves and each others' deplorably uninspired mumblings.
Instead of reading this trash, I would have had vastly more fun poking my own eyes out with darning needles while gargling Drano. I hope she dies slowly from an excruciating protein-dissolving rot, watching in horror and agony as her body eats itself cell by oxygen-wasting cell.
Just kidding.
