Sawyer: "Did you feel you had to get a visa to a foreign country?"

Where does that come from?

[Alex Murphy]

Pelosi: "Well, yeah. Yes. It’s important for me now. On a personal note, something I took away from this: It is important to expose your children to religion, any religion, whatever is important to you. Because otherwise they'll be called unchurched, and those are the ones who may later in life fall into more extreme religions."

The liberals already do. They expose their unborn children to Moloch worship, so they won't grow up to become Red-State Christians later.

Hit piece...

>>Pelosi told host Diane Sawyer that most people think of evangelical Christians as "holy roller Jesus freaks,"<<

Maybe they think that where SHE comes from.

Pelosi's mom is now the speaker of the house...She's changed her tune a little since that happened..Before Aexandra said she didn't buy into religion, now she says she does...This is all part ofbeing political now that her dingbat mom is the Speaker...All of these bums are political and they will do or say aything to further their liberal viewpoint.

"You know, it's got to strike a lot of people who live in middle America, church going people, as very quaint that you have to come visit them to learn about them. Where did this begin? Did you feel you had to get a visa to a foreign country?"

Well, I certainly hope that somebody told her ahead of time that, if you sit very still and be very quiet, sometimes middle Americans will come out from their abodes in the underbrush and take food from your hand.

From the following exchange, it appears to me that Pelosi has had her world view significantly adjusted. A first step, perhaps. Personally, I'm going to pray for her.

Sawyer: "You even said, ‘I believe in the culture war and, you know what, if have to take a side I'll take their side. Because if you give me the choice of Paris Hilton or Jesus, I'll take Jesus."

Pelosi: "Well, there's a lot of secular television that provides bad role models for our teenagers. And the church offers a strong foundation of values, which I think is really important for young people."

Sawyer: "So, this is a shift for you. You have a two week old son and you're going to make sure he goes to church?"

Pelosi: "Well, yeah. Yes. It’s important for me now. On a personal note, something I took away from this: It is important to expose your children to religion, any religion, whatever is important to you. Because otherwise they'll be called unchurched, and those are the ones who may later in life fall into more extreme religions."

However, to expose your children to just "any religion" for the sole sake of establishing a moral basis, the parents will choose a church that already supports "their" moral beliefs regardless of what God's moral teaching is. Moral beliefs without godly moral absolutes are unstable, situational, without conviction and easily cast aside the moment that belief is challenged. I don't hold out much hope for this type of religious upbringing as having much of a permanent positive effect on the children.

The Denver Post has reviewed Pelosi's film, and they didn't like what they saw:

There's no challenge in casting a cynical light on teenagers who claim they're "high on Jesus and ain't comin' down!"....A better filmmaker could have made much more headway in trying to seriously capture the state of America's cultural-religious divide. "Friends of God: A Road Trip With Alexandra Pelosi," premiering Thursday on HBO, takes the easy way out....With smug narration and a condescending tone....[n]obody sounds more provincial than a New Yorker set adrift in the heartland.

"And it was hard for me to understand, most people think of evangelicals as being these holy roller Jesus freaks, and Ted wasn't like that..."

Nope. He is acceptably homosexual and a liar.

[Jaded]

That Ms. Sawyer is a bwitch? Can I say that on the internet?

[Mr. K]

Wow, this is going to really pi$$ off her mother
