Sarah Palin's hidden base
ANP: Palin hides her deep roots and thriving base of support among social conservatives.
American News Project: Sarah Palin has something to hide, especially from swing voters: her deep roots and thriving base of support among social conservatives who are thrilled at the prospect of overturning Roe v. Wade, among other things. Palin and the GOP leaders at the 2008 Convention avoid speaking frankly about the social conservative agenda, but ANP got an earful when we spoke with GOP delegates and anti-abortion activists at the convention.

Christians programmed my daughter, says Dad
"An 11-year-old girl was "programmed" by her fundamentalist Christian mother to repeatedly run away from her father's Brisbane home, a court has been told.
The child, who cannot be identified, was visiting the home of a family friend on November 18, 2006 with her father - who had sole custody - when she fled.
Crown prosecutors allege 38-year-old Linda Hay aided her escape by picking the girl up in a car at Thornside train station, after receiving instructions from a friend of the girl's mother.
Hay has pleaded not guilty to one count of abducting a child under 16.
In a bizarre day of testimony, Crown prosecutor Dennis Kinsella told a District Court trial in Brisbane Hay had been asked to collect the girl as part of the abduction plot, hatched after the child fled to Manly train station and called the mother's friend.
The girl ran away following an argument with her father's girlfriend, who has a criminal history including prostitution and drug convictions.
The child's father did not see her again until two weeks later when police received an anonymous tip and located the girl, who had allegedly been given a haircut as a disguise.
On the witness stand earlier today, the girl's father said he and his ex-wife had been locked in a lengthy and bitter custody dispute until he was granted sole custody rights two months before his daughter ran away.
He stridently rejected claims by Hay's defence barrister, Frank Martin, that he only sought sole care of his daughter because he disagreed with his estranged wife's fundamentalist Christian beliefs.
The couple divorced in 1997, and the girl had lived with her mother most of her young life.
The man testified that Christmas presents sent to the girl were returned for being "tools of the devil". It was also revealed the girl had not been seen for the past 12 days, after fleeing again.
"My daughter has been kidnapped again...," the man raged from the witness box.
"These people have gotten away with it again."
The man described his family as "dysfunctional" and said most of his six children suffered from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
In another trial twist, Mr Martin warned the 12-member jury not to be alarmed if his client suddenly bolted from the prisoner's dock, because she was pregnant, and "not trying to escape"
The trial before Senior Judge Gilbert Trafford-Walker continues."
That's one f*ed up family. "An 11-year-old girl was "programmed" by her fundamentalist Christian mother to repeatedly run away from her father... more -

Fundamentalists: "They're Coming to Your Town!"
Forget killer bees or plagues. A more sinister threat is heading for small town America, at least according to conservative Christian watchdog group American Family Association...HOMOSEXUALS.
The group, which boasts a membership of 3,346,700 on its website, recently sent out an email blast marketing a new documentary, "They're Coming to Your Town," about how they say a small group of gay activists took over the city council in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and began imposing "their homosexual agenda on that community."
The actual email blast can be found at http://www.goodasyou.org/AFAtownblast.png and goes on to suggest the 28 minute DVD (which sells for $14.95 on the AFA site) is "perfect for viewing during Sunday School."
