Church Newsletters From All Over

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.

Sean Hanity was right! Earlier this week Sean stated on his radio program that SHilary Clinton would attempt to morph into a conservative. She has already started weaving her cuccoon that when she emerges in 2008, she will be a beautiful conservative. (The image of a beautiful, snoutnosed, snarling bat comes to mind instead of a beautiful, delicate, multicolored, butterfly) She is claiming to be an Conservative Evangelical Christian. Does this mean her views on abortion will change.

[ConservativeMan55]

Conservativeman55 claims Hillary is a lying weasel!

[Founding Father]

S*#t claims it doesn't stink too.

[kittymyrib]

This was posted 3 days ago. Didn't we decide this was a joke?

[William of Orange]

she will keep this up for 4 years, she will do ANYTHING to get her grubby hands on the presidency. But with Condi Rice against her, 60-40 landslide, she (Hitlery) will only carry DC...

[ken5050]

It is..it's a parody..Rob Long special..

[counterpunch]

This was a joke.
It didn't really happen.
Hannity discussed it on the radio yesterday, said he thought it was a joke, then confirmed that National Review contacted him to confirm that it was only a joke.

[deaconjim]

Democrats will lie to you, and some of them will even lie and tell you they are Republicans. Will Hillary run as a Republican in 2008?

[InvisibleChurch]

the left will run part of the campaign on the impassioned plea for 'fairness' that it be 'fair' to 'let' the dems have a president for eight years after the right having a president for eight years

[pookie18]

This was a joke. It didn't really happen.

Yet...

[Always Right]

Sean Hanity was right! Earlier this week Sean stated on his radio program that SHilary Clinton would attempt to morph into a conservative.

This isn't a prediction, Hillary has been doing this all along. Bill knows why Hillary would never win and he told her what she needed to do. Hillary is going to be dangerous because she will play the role and the media will help. Hillary will be that moderate Democrat by 2008.

[daddyOwe]

Hillary a Conservative? If my grandmother had wheels she would be a jeep.

[LibSnubber]

How does that saying go? Something about PIGS and lipstick?... he he

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

She's not even a conservative when compared to Karl Marx. These people need to take a reality pill.

"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.

Can you read that back to me?"

So I can deny it at my next American Socialist Party meeting.

[Route101]

...O.k...here's what we do...lets send you down to the red states and you tell them your a Christian conservative...Jeez Louise!!!...What does this woman do?...wake up in the morning and ask her advisors who she should be today???I can't wait till she starts telling America she's the bionic woman.....

[OriginalIntent]

This is a very crooked woman. You ask, what does she do in the morning?

She screws her socks on first thing every morning.

[discipler]

Yes, but let's watch her vote and see how conservative she votes. Let's see if she will confirm those conservative judges, and pass more tax relief, and help privatize schools. Let's just see if she puts the partisanship behind her, like she promised on Nov. 10 at her Tufts University speech. Let's just see.

[indexpatient]

Check this

[OXENinFLA]

I was listening to HANNITY yesterday about this and from what I heard he said he got in contact w/ the NR author and THIS IS A JOKE.

If anyone else heard Hannity say that yesterday please confirm.

[MadIvan]

It is definitely true that the Democrats will either move towards the centre or die. If they listen to the likes of Michael Moore or Howard Dean, they're lost. It may take a few more drubbings at the polls for them to absorb the lesson.

[Peach]

If Hillary is conservative, I'm Elvis.

[ImpBill]

Not a joke, but a great work of sarcastic political humor. Remember, all humor, to be effective, has a basis in truth.

Watch Hillary attempt to pull a Houdini over the next political season. It will be up to us to make sure she doesn't succeed to the point that she will fool the majority. It won't be easy, although it will sound so here on FR. Remember we will be dealing with the body politic of the publicly educated America.

[Pointblank]

"I always take time to worship God in as evangelical a way as is feasible, given time and location constraints."
interpretation:
Sometimes, when I have nothing better to do, I believe in the Gospel, As long as it does not compromise my political career.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Years ago William Safire wrote a column about both Clintons being "congenital liars".

Nothing has changed since then !

[hershey]

She's already eaten turkey with the troops in Afghanistan. Last spring she took speech lessons...notice she no longer says, 'you know' and 'uh' every three seconds. Next she'll be going to church with a big Bible under her arm. Hill will do whatever it takes for a shot at the presidency.

[Jim Noble]

Hillary claims she's a conservative

Was she in Vietnam?

[lonestar]

The fact that it could happen makes Hillary the joke!

I wait for her revivals down by the river and baptisms in the Hudson River; "passing the plate" for her fundraisers.

[Liberty Valance]

"This was a joke. It didn't really happen."

Oh darn...and I was so looking forward to Hillary's new cookie recipes :o(

[counterpunch]

Sure its a great joke, and almost believable. Really funny stuff.
But it is still important that people do not go away under the impression that it actually did happen.
The fact that one could envision Hillary saying this (and the fact that many people are willing to believe ANYTHING about Hillary) makes it that much more likely that people will take it seriously.

[mc5cents]

Scientists discover that the earth's moon is really composed of munster cheese.

[William of Orange]

did she get a purple heart?

[MEG33]

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!

[Jose Roberto]

LOL LOL LOL LMAO!!!!! Although it is a joke, it will not surprise me if the liberal icon Hillary actually metamorphoses into a Conservative to appeal to a red state.

[N. Theknow]

Hannity discussed it on the radio yesterday, said he thought it was a joke, then confirmed that National Review contacted him to confirm that it was only a joke.

Everything about the Clintons is a joke.

[Route101]

Hillary a conservative christian....someone been smok'in the B.C. bud......

[Jim Noble]

did she get a purple heart?

Four, I heard.

[dormee]

Of course she is. And I'm a 38DD.

[NutCrackerBoy]

already posted here

[uncbob]

Hate to say this but Hilllary keeps singing the right tune too many CC will lap it up including some on this site

I remember back in 2000 when Gore finally gave up the ghost with a concession speech how many here were forgiving him and calling him a nice guy etc

And remember all those prayers for Bubba during his operation

The question is will Hillary's left wing pals like BS stay loyal. And how is Hillary going to handle the abortion isssue That is going to be the tightrope she has to walk

[RGSpincich]

NR is going Onion?

[odoso]

"God's house is open to all"... - Who seek Him in earnest! Hilliary? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. Hilliary wouldn't recognize God if He were running against her in an election.

What a PHONY! and what a CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE... As long as you DON'T count the United States of America!

[dc-zoo]

Just wait til they air all of those videotapes of Hillary with Michael Moore and George Soros. There is plenty more videotape evidence of Hitlary's extreme left-wing agenda.

[chainsaw]

("We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." - H. Clinton)

This is conservative talk?????

[narses]

Wolf ping.

[Domestic Church]

Big bad wolf bump!
