For the life of me I can't recall Hillary ever showing her religious side before, or maybe she did and I just missed it. Excerpts from yesterday's love fest in Selma:
This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. And I want to begin by giving praise to the Almighty for the blessings he has bestowed upon us as a congregation, as a people, and as a nation. and I thank you so much, Reverend Armstrong, for welcoming me to this historic church.
And I thank the First Baptist Church family for opening your hearts and your home to me and to so many visitors today. I have to confess that I did seek dispensation from Reverend Armstrong to come because you know, I'm a Methodist. And I'm in one of those mixed marriages.
She can't say those things can she? Mixed marriage? Is she referring to Baptist/Methodist or black/white, since Bill was "the first black president?" (On a side note, notice this remark by Clinton back on 2001, "And those of us who don't happen to fall in those categories are infidels and all of us are fair game.")
I come here this morning as a sister in worship...
A sister in worship?
How can we say everything is fine when we have an energy policy whose prices are too high, who make us dependent on foreign governments that do not wish us well, and when we face the real threat of climate change, which is tinkering with God's creation?
Wow, invoking "tinkering with God's creation" in relation to climate change? How in the world is she going to reconcile that one?
We have to stay awake. We have a march to finish. On this floor today, let us say with one voice the words of James Cleveland's great freedom hymn, "I don't feel no ways tired/I come too far from where I started from/Nobody told me that the road would be easy/I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me."
Isn't the idea of Hillary quoting a song like this a bit patronizing?
And we know -- we know -- we know, if we finish this march, what awaits us? St. Paul told us, in the letter to the Galatians, "Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due seasons we shall reap, if we do not lose heart."
First black gospel, now the bible? OK, any takers on how many times she quotes scripture, uses the word worship, cites a James Cleveland song or mentions "God's creation" anywhere but at a church from here on out? |
