~9:05pm~ EST EVANGELICAL HILLARY?: I admit I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when I read the quote attributed to Hillary from an upcoming print edition of the National Review.
HillaryWatch was the first one to bring it to my attention...
Speaking to a "church based" newsletter this week in anticipation of the opening of the Clinton Presidential Library, Mrs. Clinton made the following statements...
"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."
I went to one of the leading "evangelical" schools in the nation. I can quite assuredly verify for you that there is no "EVANGELICAL WAY" of worshiping. Evangelicals are as diverse as the rest of the population.
What unifies them - and identifies them AS evangelicals - is not how they worship. It is what they believe.
And this is yet another glaring example of how liberals believe that the reason they lost in 2004 was because they did not trick the population into thinking that the political left "believes" as well.
The "Values Voters" that participated in the election this year - don't have some ethereal mystical type of belief system. They actually DO BELIEVE in certain absolutes and they organize their lives around the beliefs they hold.
Caring for the poor - is not a "Values Voters" issue - liberals and conservatives alike believe that we need to help the poor. The difference in the two is HOW to go about doing it.
The "Values Voters" this year actually hold specific conviction about morality - and the left has been left hanging clueless since as to figure out how to respond to people of strong conviction.
So in that reality you will continue to see Hillary and others say silly things like how they LOVE to worship "in as much of an evangelical way as is feasible"...
In fact they give blatant pandering a bad name. --------------------------------------------------
Are you sure they're not Vincent Fosters?
How do you know the article is satire?
That point isn't stated in the article...
Too good to be true. :D
Uh... because the author said so on hannity radio and other places...
Anyone have a copy of her THESIS? Has it been released yet? This should be a goal for the Freepers, since (to my knowledge) it has been inaccessable to anyone. What is she hiding?
I got great pleasure after reading that slick willie saw dark masks before he saw his families' faces. Most near death experiences say they see a bright light and feel very calm and serene. Looks like he will be heading south on his fateful day.
Wan't it Bill and Hillary that made the statement before or soon after he was elected that Americans didn't need a bunch of Christians directing their lives?
Just FYI: Almost everything that Long writes for "The Long View" is satire.
In 2002, Libia was announced as chair for the 2003 UN Human Rights Conference and Iraq was to chair the 2003 UN Disarmament Conference. Not quite you point to be sure but to the left, it made sense.
This is from the Onion right? I mean seriously... that's like me saying I really like the french when I'm not busy peeing on their soil.
HillaryWatch is a great site!

They mention Hillary's comments and
nothing about it being satire, as some
here are telling us!
Is the satire "rumor" true or not?
Where's THE PROOF that her comments are
satire?
No one is posting a link to the authors comments
on his article.
DID HILLARY SAY THIS OR NOT?
We are Watching Hillary
and WANT to know!
HERE is something Hildabeast did say....
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/11/21/233417.shtml
*****
"Taking a position far to the right of the Bush
administration, Sen. Clinton said she would support "at
least a visa ID, some kind of an entry and exit ID."
"And, you know, perhaps, although I'm not a big fan of it
, ***we might have to move towards an ID system even for citizens."***
****
Oh yes, Hillary.
Ever anxious to pass out that
Mark of The Beast...
Someone needs to get close enough to her to check the back of her neck. There has to be a port or a lesion where aliens move in and out of that corpus. That she would have the balls to say this is beyond insulting to the intelligence of her own constituency. Does anyone hear a clammor from the left to shut up the right wing fascist evangelical Christian? No., because they all know it is gorilla dust thrown up at us to creat an illusion. I hope she is, but a man I know quiet well one said "By their fruits you will know them."
Did we pass your test?
?
Vaginalgelical Shillary?
I thought it sounded like a parody. But then, most things Dems say sound like a parody.
Meek...surely you can do something with this. LOL.
Didn't she say during the 1992 campaign that she had wanted to become a Marine?
Reminds me of a 9-year-old girl stating her career goals: "And I want to be Miss America and a veterinarian and an ice skater and an astronaut!"
Oh my gosh! I am speechless. What a spinner!
