Is Palin a Conservative Christian?

Thomas Fleming of the Chronicles Magazine makes an interesting point. It raises some interesting questions for Christians who are drinking the "Palin" kool-aide:

If Ms. Palin is a truly a Christian conservative, she is
certainly not a conservative Christian. Christians are supposed to understand the implications of “male and female created He them” and, at the very least, realize that a mother’s primary obligation is not to the taxpayers but to her children and husband. It is all very well to celebrate her prowess as a politician and moose-hunter, but I do not recall these as feminine qualities in the Scriptures. I or we are not saying that we cannot vote for a woman who did not stay home to take care of her family, but only that this decision is incompatible with traditional Christian morality.
