"The conference was convened by Vision America, a group founded by the Rev. Rick Scarborough to mobilize 'patriot pastors' of all denominations to promote Christian involvement in government.
Scarborough, the former pastor of the First Baptist Church in Pearland, is a long-time DeLay ally.
'This is a man, I believe, God has appointed ... to represent righteousness in government,' Scarborough told the audience, which included Eagle Forum Founder Phyllis Schlafly, former ambassador Alan Keyes, and Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan."
Yeah. A guy nicknamed the "Hammer" who has used the power of the federal government to pursue his own political agenda, funneled money through a fake organization called the US Family Network--consciously manipulating people's faith to fund political agendas--yeah, this guy is appointed by God. Only if God is an idiot and more like the Cosa Nostra than the Prince of Peace.
Seriously. If you defend Delay as a Christian, you put the faith in a horrible light.
