The Long View (Betcha didn't know Hillary's an Evangelical Christian!)

NRO ^ | 11/15/2005 | Rob Long

From "Light the Lamp!": The monthly newsletter of the Holy Flame Pentecostal Church of Little Rock, Ark.

We welcome back to the area Senator Hillary Clinton (D., N.Y.), who has been spending so much time here in Little Rock lately that she's practically joined the church choir! "I'm here spending time at my husband's library," she told the Lamp when we caught up with her after a Sunday camp meeting, "and of course, I always take time to worship God in as evangelical a way as is feasible, given time and location constraints. As you know, I consider myself an evangelical Christian, really a Christian conservative, if you want to know the truth, so it's nice to be 'home' again in the South, which I really consider my quote-unquote home even though I live in New York most of the time. Well, Washington, D.C., most of the time, actually, but if I'm not there I'm in New York, of course, but always thinking about being here, in the South, my spiritual home, where I shared so many wonderful evangelical . . . moments and . . . events. Can you read that back to me?" The "Light the Lamp!" staff would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that Christ loves all of us equally, and that God's house is open to all, even to senators from New York, so whoever is muttering stuff and saying mean things while pretending to cough can just quit it right now.

The 'remaking' of Hillary has begun.

[Maria S]

Now who says evangelicals don't have a sense of humor?

[PhiKapMom]

You forgot the "Barf Alert" -- she is an idiot if she thinks can fool the Evangelical Christians into supporting that liberal, feminist, socialist -- voters have become a lot smarter since the days of Clinton pulling that sham of pretending to be something he was not.

[MadAnthony1776]

She's doing the same lip service to religion John Kerry did. Didn't fool us once. Won't fool us this time either.

[Tax-chick]

I'm always amazed that these people aren't simply struck by lightning. God is mysterious.

[dead]

it's nice to be 'home' again in the South, which I really consider my quote-unquote home even though I live in New York most of the time. Well, Washington, D.C., most of the time, actually, but if I'm not there I'm in New York, of course, but always thinking about being here, in the South, my spiritual home, where I shared so many wonderful evangelical . . . moments and . . . events.

I’ll take that as an official campaign announcement.

She is non-religious evangelical married lesbian southerner who lives in New York and Washington.

How long before she finds her black and Jewish relatives?

[hgro]

To believe Hillary Rotten Clinton is a Christian is to believe in the tooth fairy.

[Izzy Dunne]

As you know, I consider myself an evangelical Christian, really a Christian conservative, if you want to know the truth

I'd pay five bucks to play that quote over and over for 24 hours into Michael Moore's headphones...

[Piquaboy]

She got saved as soon as the election was over.

[TommyDale]

Hillary may better be identified as the Antichrist.

[finallyatexan]

This is a satirical story - isn't it?!

[lady lawyer]

I didn't know that Evangelicals had gay-friendly congregations.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Wow. She's something else. I bet she said that with a straight face, too.

[stainlessbanner]

Hillary Clinton does not come to mind when I hear "South, Christian, and Conservative."

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

As you know, I consider myself an evangelical Christian, really a Christian conservative, if you want to know the truth

Might be something to that. Lord knows she helped bumrush this fellah into Jesus' presence in a blazing hurry:

[Fayre Verona]

whoever is muttering stuff and saying mean things while pretending to cough can just quit it right now.

Cough, cough.

[EA_Man]

I can't wait for her to square her pro-abortion record with her 'Conservative Christian' beliefs. That should be interesting.

[KurtAZ]

Wow...she actually fit "evangelical" 3 times into her statement. I will say I am happy she is a Christian, albeit self-professed, and I am sure there are political motivations behind it, but her motivations and her actions are between her and God. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

[Alouette]

This had to come from landoverbaptist.com

[SBOinTX]

Remember God loves them, too. It isn't easy to swallow but then, it isn't up to us.... something I try to keep in mind following politics especially

[mountaineer]

Someone should ask Garrison Keillor if the Hildebeaste should be permitted to vote.

[GraniteStateConservative]

No time like the present to start the campaign to keep Hillary's 2008 dreams from coming true! Lock and load.

[GraniteStateConservative]

If Hillary starts speaking in tongues to try to pull this charade off, we'll know she's officially the anti-Christ.

[Brilliant]

Given this move by Hillary, seems pretty clear that she's running for President.

[xJones]

I'd pay five bucks to play that quote over and over for 24 hours into Michael Moore's headphones...

LOL! It would probably take more than five bucks for him, but maybe Al Franken or Garrison Keiller could be bought.

[maggief]

[NativeNewYorker]

dude...this is satire NOT REAL

[KoRn]

I may be wrong, but wasn't she suddenly Jewish or somehow related to Jewish people while running in NY for Senate?

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

We welcome back to the area Senator Hillary Clinton (D., N.Y.), who has been spending so much time here in Little Rock lately that she's practically joined the church choir!

The irony of this is........ that Hillary is TONE-DEAF. When Slick Willy was in office, there was a Christmas-time telecast of the service at the National Cathedral on PBS. At one point, there was a "sing-along" and the microphone made a pass along the front pew where Bill and Hill were sitting, catching a snippet of everyone's singing. Well, I'm here to tell you - Bill was a fine singer, but Hillary was "droning" along - she couldn't match pitch if her life depended on it. So no, Hillary won't be singing in any church choir any time soon.........

[mattdono]

The 'remaking' of Hillary has begun.

These people are cold, calculating people. Nothing is sacred to them. If she is such a Christian, maybe she will come out against infanticide.

I'd hold my breath but I have a family to support.

[MamaLucci]

ROFL!

[Moosilauke]

Yep, for the next four years Hillary will be warming those front pews that Kerry doesn't seem so interested in, now that the election is over.

[loborojo]

Simply put: She is a political whore. So is Kerry. They never see an angle on an issue that they don't like if they think that it will get them votes.

[Piquaboy]

Someone should post a picture of her with 666 tattooed on her forhead.

[Izzy Dunne]

can't wait for her to square her pro-abortion record with her 'Conservative Christian' beliefs.

Hey, she's "personally against it", it's just that just doesn't want to "legislate" her "morality" on the rest of the country.

< / Kerry-ism >

[Haro_546]

yeap, another clinton a northeastern liberal in centrist, southern, clothes.

[DannyTN]

"How long before she finds her black and Jewish relatives?"

She's probably trying to set Roger up with Hispanics even as we speak. Not only will that give her hispanic relatives but then they can pay Roger while Hillary gives them amnesty.

'I can't believe that Republicans can be Christians.' - Hillary Rodman Clinton

[sausageseller]

so whoever is muttering stuff and saying mean things while pretending to cough can just quit it right now.

SS. cough baby killer cough

[Tax-chick]

Yes, I know God loves them. I'm a sinner, too :-). It's just so frustrating that they're allowed to lie, and lie, and lie ...

[Redleg Duke]

I predicted this more than a week ago! The ooze is starting to re-arrange itself and morph again!

[Grendel9]

"Senator Hillary Clinton (D., N.Y.), who has been spending so much time here in Little Rock LATELY..."

Again, let us UNDERSCORE the LATELY! Now I wonder why?

[jriemer]

The 'remaking' of Hillary has begun.

Been done before.

[blue-duncan]

Fortunately she is only with us in spirit. To be present in body would be way tooooo much. As an aside, Rick Warren says to be with you in spirit is to be nowhere.

[ladylib]

Yes.

[pissant]

SATIRE. get a grip

[hetzman]

If she's not careful, hanging out with evangelicals could actually change her life. It wouldn't be the first time. Wouldn't that be a kick in the head for the Democrats.

[TexasCajun]

Reality Politics:

Really Extreme Liberal Make-Over!

[Blue Highway]

Didn't fool us once. Won't fool us this time either.

Didn't fool us once, shame on you. Didn't fool us twice, shame on you.
