~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. --------------------------------------------------
Only a lawyer and/or politician could say such a stupid thing.
It's not a parody or satire, It's just something a blogger made
up.
I despise Hillary as much as anyone but bloggers are ruining the credibility of anything found on the internet. Stuff that is passed off like this helps no one's position.
I can't wait to see her goose hunting.
Funny, I've never pictured her with gonads! I guess it's the mental image of her strap-on that gets in the way!
LOL, every time I post before reading the replies, somebody has already made my point!
Oh, well, great minds . . .
I sure hope somebody saved her statement "We will take from you to give to them".
LOL She does prattle on, it makes it difficult. I think they call that Liberalwacky, or some such thing.
Talk about run on sentences.
It takes the village to raise the idiotess like that.
She can fool NYC RATs, but not rest of us.
ping
We used to live in NY and we remember her actions. She is worse than green bile.
No she said it alright. It's not nice to try to fool the Lord!!!!
What newsletter was this? Anyone know?
Only when she's not splitting and spitting hairs with Reno and Albright.
Well, you have to give the insufferable b!tch credit. She certainly knows which way the political winds are blowing.
As for her sincerity, well, that's about as believable as Clintonoid sincerity can be - which is to say, not at all.
Probably Sojourners, where just being a Democrat makes you a Christian......
Tell that to the Man Upstairs -
I can only practice Your teachings when I have the time and the right location, no constraints..."
Lawyer talk
That'll wash.
These libs that are suddenly Bible thumping _ like Hillary, and Pelosi and Beckell, might want to read Matthew 7:16-23, ending in verse 23 "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
Altho', this wouldn't bother them, becasue they don't beleive in a god other then themselves - but they may be mighty surprised one day to find out, OOPS!
I saw her say she was a Christian, and felt the south was home. In a comment to newsmen after the Library thing. The only thing here that I didn't see was the evangelical part.
FYI
This quote came from a satirical (and hysterical) piece by
Rob Long in this week's National Review (p. 49). If you need a good laugh,it is worth reading in its entirety.
