alright fine, I think she is a fundamentalist because she attended an Assemblies of God church, which is Pentecostal. She then switched to the Wasilla Bible Church, which has been described as evangelical. I looked at http://www.newsweek.com/id/156679/output/print to get the church names.
Many of Palin's positions -- no abortion no matter what, opposition to birth control for teens, abstinence education, opposition to children's books that mention homesexuality -- mirror what are frequently called fundamentalist or "Christian," though I dispute the latter use of the word. Do you not think she is a fundamentalist? Note -- in and of themselves fundamentalist beliefs are not an issue for me. I know many fine people who adhere to them. I begin to object when they are imposed on me. I also think that many people who adhere to such beliefs -- not all, but many -- are mysogynists, when you get right down to it.
