Health care reform must be doing well
ERLC chief Richard Land, who confuses accusations with apologies, speaks via Baptist Press, urging members of congress to oppose the health reform legislation. Assuming any have noticed the recent pattern of his behavior, they’ll take his proclamation as an endorsement. Out of sheer astonishment, former opponents will vote for the legislation, thus ensuring its passage.

“This bill is the greatest threat to freedom that I have seen in the nineteen years I have been here in Washington”
John Boehner

Oh, dear! Where was this knucklehead on September 11, 2001? Or when the Patriot Act was passed for that matter. Where was this fool in 2000 when the Supreme Court put a stop to the vote counting in the state of Florida and installed the Bush Mob in the White House? The greatest threat to freedom in nineteen years? Have another sip, Mr. Faux Tan Man.

Perhaps Richard Land can exert his influence now to the Tom Messer/ Florida Baptist Convention situation knowing full well the FBC will talk back. I’ll read & listen !
