Yes, each and every Commandment.
Well, not really, but she’s seen the movie like a zillion times.
Ooo, a colouring book!
I know when Sarah Palin does a book signing she puts out the books that she’s read.
There they are, sitting on the table, both of them.
Thank you, I’ll be here all week! Tip the veal! Try your waitress!
She like the part where the Statue of Liberty is sticking out of the sand.
Our government was founded on a theocracy?
Wow! Who knew.
According to conservatives, what differentiated the US from other counties of the time was that we were based on Christian values. Unlike the other major powers of the time like England, France, Portugal, and Spain which were secular (or Buddhist, I forget).
Us liberals were brainwashed into thinking that the US coincided with the enlightenment, and that man was free to choose his own leaders instead of having royalty picked by God. Or create his own laws rather than be governed by religious doctrine.
Come now. Everyone knows that all of those nations were secretly run by the Jews.
Patriotic Americans have been fighting the same thing since the 19th century.

Hmm… not a lot wrong with the Ten Commandments, but would she really implement Leviticus?
Sincere question: why do Christians even care about the Ten Commandments? They’re in the Torah, and Christians don’t even follow the laws given in the Torah because, if I understand it correctly, they believe that accepting Jesus makes all other laws unnecessary.
I don’t get why Christians go on and on about the Ten Commandments and then ignore the other 306 commandments.
They don’t do much more than pick and choose whatever they feel like in the new and old testaments.

Other than that they’re mostly unconstitutional. Have you read them?
The kind of people that go on about them usually can’t even name them. It isn’t so much that they care about living by them (thy break them as much as anybody). It’s more about using them as a marker of authority. They want to believe that all legal authority is ultimately based on scriptural authority. The Ten Commandments are really just shorthand for the Bible as a whole, and at the end of the day a central tenet (baseless as it is) that the legal and moral authority of the United States is ultimately rooted in Divine authority.
It really bothers some people that their personal religious codes are utterly irrelevant to actual laws of the land.
Get your hands off me, you damn dirty Liberal!
I agree with this sentiment 100%.
I suspect that she and I differ on who the “some people” are, since I count her as one of them. 
I pretty much figured that one out.
I may have to ask this in shudders GD because I want a serious answer to this question. My understanding of Christian theology is that the Ten Commandments are as pointless to Christians as about a million (or 306) things that Jews do that Christians don’t feel any obligation to follow. And yet they go on about them all the time. Is there an actual theological reason, or is it entirely political?
So? I’m not American, so I’m not burdened by that triviality.
Anyway, it’s not ‘mostly’ at all. It’s 3 or 4 out of 10, depending upon how you count them. In the Anglican church it’s have no other gods, no idols, no wrongful use of God’s name, and keep the Sabbath holy. The other 6 are just fine. So, not a majority.
Really? I count only 2.5 that are against the law in the US; stealing, murder/killing and maybe adultery in the alienation of affection sort of way which I think is bogus but IANAL.
Not honoring Mum and Dad; nope.
Not coveting your neighbor’s wife, slaves, oxen, boxen, and stuff; no way. American culture is built on coveting your neighbor’s stuff. Trophy wives, stupidly expensive cars, McMansions…
Keeping the Sabbath holy; only if that means working at or going to the mall or mowing your lawn at 6 am.
Lord’s name in vain; hahahahahah Gosh darn it!
No Idols: American IDOL anyone?
The other 6 are:
Honor your father and mother – thought crime.
Don’t kill – ok.
No adultery – some laws against adultery are still on the books, though not enforced. Certainly not “just fine.”
Don’t steal – ok.
Don’t bear false witness. Relevant in court, but, as has been mentioned, would shut down Fox News, talk radio and a good deal of the internet if eforced outside of it.
The last two are coveting. Thought crimes and ridiculous to try to enforces as laws.
So, as I said, mostly unconstitutional and and completly idiotic to try to enforce as law.
I think maybe you don’t understand that the US government is not allowed to codify religious codes into law.
She was already the governor of one of your states - surely that is mainstream?
Not particularly.
