            Palin is a "Dominionist" with an apocalytic End Times
            theological viewpoint that sees the war in Iraq as part of God's
            plan. This highly politicized concept of dominionism is based on the
            Bible's text in Genesis 1:26: <O:P>
            </O:P>
            </FONT></SPAN></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tbrnews.org/Archives/a2967.htm"><FONT size="2">The
            vast majority of Christians read this text and conclude that God has
            appointed them stewards and caretakers of Earth. As Sara Diamond
            explains, however, some Christian read the text and believe,
            "that Christians alone are Biblically mandated to occupy all
            secular institutions until Christ returns." That, in a
            nutshell, is the idea of "dominionism." <O:P>
