~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. --------------------------------------------------
The National Review say it is from ""Light the Lamp!": The monthly newsletter of the Holy Flame Pentecostal Church of Little Rock, Ark." You can read the start of the NRO article at http://www.nationalreview.com/issue/long200411160825.asp, but to get the whole thing a paid subscription is needed.
And romp together in the Lincoln bedroom.
How long before she switches parties?
She knows her liberal secular base won't abandon with this phony act. This act is meant to fool idiots like me. Where can I contribute?
Nancy and Hillary, the Cagney and Lacey of the Left. Or was it gag-me and mace-me?
Nope. She done said it!
but I wonder if this isn't a reverse example of the Lord's promise that if we do what we should, study and be faithful, we don't have to worry about what we are to say when faced with, say, having to give a talk or interview or other circumstance. He promised the words will be given as needed.
Now, I wonder, if someone tries to use a false cover of believing - does the tongue get tied up like here in her ridiculous circumlocution? If so, we're in for some real fun these next 4 years from the libs...
How stupid are New Yorkers?
Dear Jeff Blogworthy,
As others have pointed out, these quotes are from a satirical column in the current National Review. They are genuine quotes from Rob Long's column, but don't represent real Hillary Clinton quotes.
Admin Moderator, maybe it might help if you added to the thread title something like, "[SATIRE]".

I must say it certainly seems like a parody...LOL
"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." - H. Clinton
I will try to post that quote everyday from now until Hillary is soundly defeated in her bid for the presidency.
I don't think she'll get that far.
I wonder if her and Billy's time isn't just about past on by.
The dim's are MAD at them, blame them for helping to loose the election - and they're tired of the strangle hold they've had on the party.
I don't think she's going to get that much support from her own base 4 years from now. Too many others in the party don't want to wait out 12 years (the next 4 and 2 terms for her) before they can make their go at it.
Of course. They are hugh.
This sooo funny. Hitlery doesn't have a clue....what a fake b*tch or rather butch she is!!!
Must be going after the Evangelical Jewish Yankee fan contingency.
Hillary going to hell ping
