\"worldview.jpg\"<\/span>God-o-Meter has proposed that when Sarah Palin uses the term “world view” she means biblical worldview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s how she used the phrase in last night’s debate:<\/p>\n

But even more important is that world view that I share with John McCain. That world view that says that America is a nation of exceptionalism. And we are to be that shining city on a hill, as President Reagan so beautifully said, that we are a beacon of hope and that we are unapologetic here. We are not perfect as a nation.

America is a nation of exceptionalism<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Not to mention her invocation of Ronald Reagan, who’s been accorded deity status by many conservatives.<\/p>\n
