More On Palin

Bret McAtee / The Backwater Report:
Doug Wilson over at Mablog continues to fudge on the issue of how it would be un-biblical to vote for Sarah Palin as a female civil magistrate. Most recently Doug has tried to enlist John Knox on his side. According to Wilson, Knox wrote The First Blast Of The Trumpet Against The Monstrous Regiment Of Women aiming at Bloody Mary. According to Wilson, Knox while aiming at Blood Mary hit Queen Elizabeth square between the eyes as Mary died and Elizabeth ascended to the throne just when Knox's work was being published. Wilson goes on to record that "because of Elizabeth's attitude toward the Reformation, Knox was more than willing to accept Elizabeth as a godly Deborah, and wrote to Elizabeth, telling her so." Wilson goes on to try to conclude that Knox, therefore, can't be claimed as somebody who is against women in office unreservedly.
