>> I was writing my Congressman to see if Joel Osteen or James Dobson could come speak to a joint session of Congress and tie the traffic up for 4 days with protestants flooding the streets. <<

Osteen avoids political issues like the plague and talks about touchy-feely stuff that his dopey followers eat up, so having him address Congress would be pointless. Those who like hearing self-help "enpowerment" speeches would tune in, though.

Dobson isn't even a minister, he's a psychologist, radio talk show host and author. It would more akin to having Mark Levin address Congress. However, in both cases, I think their supporters WOULD tie up traffic for 4 days if Dobson or Levin was going to give a joint address to Congress.

A more apt protestant equivalent to the Pope would be Billy Graham his heyday. In fact, he's more akin to Pope John Paul II than Francis in that Graham was deeply revered and respected by non-protestant Christians. He absolutely would have gotten that kind of treatment if he addressed Congress.

I think we can find 4 protestant faith leaders to go tie up traffic. I want equal time for the largest group on Christians in America— The evangelical Protestants!! It is only fair. I'm sure such an event would be attacked by the LEFTISTS as a violation on “Church and State” but where is the hue and cry over this LEFTIST head guy at his church?

He wants money from the leftists too. His new mansion requires expensive upkeep.
