I think I just threw up a little in my mouth

MAX BLUMENTHAL: " have spent the last couple of days in Ohio where I spoke to over 2,800 people at Fairfield Christian Church outside Columbus. Today I joined Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell and former Ohio Congressman Bob McEwen as we spoke to about 70 key members of the clergy. We reflected back upon America's godly heritage and the key role that pastors played in this nation. The meeting, which was hosted by Pastor Rod Parsley at World Harvest Church, was organized by Pastor Russell Johnson of Lancaster.

Many of these pastors were instrumental in working with the president of Ohio's Citizens for Community Values, Phil Burress, in passing Ohio's marriage amendment over tremendous obstacles foes of marriage placed in their way. This was the first of a series of meetings designed to enlist hundreds of members of the clergy as 'Patriot Pastors' to further organize the Church in Ohio for social engagement. What I see happening across the country with pastors is unprecedented - pastors and their flocks are not going back to life as usual after the election. Christians are committed to the battle not only for the heart and souls of people but for the heart and soul of this nation."


Very seriously. If Rod Parsley is behind ANYTHING, I am headed the other way. Have any of you watched this twerp on tv? Besides really making John Hagee look really, really fat, he makes the rest of the charismatic twerps look positively good. He makes you long for the days of Jimmy Swaggert. He makes you want to sign up for a Benny Hinn "healing" whatever or possibly call your dentist for a pre-emptive root canal. He is everything that is bad about American Christianity.
