Strawman argument.
Palin has made comments in the past that say that the government should be based on Christianity:
Quote:
"Lest anyone try to convince you that God should be separated from the state, our founding fathers, they were believers," said Palin. "And George Washington, he saw faith in God as basic to life."
another:
“I think we should keep this clean, keep it simple, go back to what our founders and our founding documents meant,” she said. “They’re quite clear that we would create law based on the God of the Bible and the 10 commandments, it’s pretty simple.”

Pushing your religion by saying that the government should be based around it makes you a proponent of a theocracy - how is that any different than any of the Middle Eastern countries based on Islam and Sharia?
