LOL. I bet even Jesus is doing that by now.
why is okay for her “faith” to intertwine with her political life? aren’t they always crying “separation of church and state” when it comes to conservatives? what hypocrits...
I'm betting she has to wear asbestos gloves when she carries it.
...and evidence of her hatred of gays, the poor and foreigners. There would also be quotation marks like confetti everytime she talked of God, Jesus and the Holy Bible.
Faith in what? Marx, Engels, Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler, the KGB? This is hellary we are talking about.
Interesting page you have there about you. ALmost looks like someone tried to stereotype a conservative about issues of the day an dpout it on there. Just interesting, thats all.
And you did forget the Barf Alert.

In all fairness to some of the fine wordsmiths, investigators and journalists that work there [there are a few...or several], it must be a drag to know you work for a cheep, lying propaganda sheet. Money/pride equasion. TylonolPM can get you through it, I reckon. Or scotch. Prozac? Yeesh!
Clinton's Bible too...no wonder the Baptist kicked him out...
Does a person of faith try to further destroy someone raped by one’s husband? Just wondering.
ROFLOL
I think Hillary is a devoted Methodist - of the social justice stripe. In these churches (and I’ve been in them) the bible is sort of rewritten from left, to make God over into their own vision of a politically active leftist.
The emphasis isn’t on Jesus and salvation, it’s on social justice. Here’s an interesting tidbit:
“Precocious and confident, 13-year-old Hillary was an active member of her Methodist church in Park Ridge, Ill., when Jones arrived in 1961 to lead the youth group. Fresh from the seminary, he was anything but stuffy in his red Chevy Impala convertible. He carried the Bible, but also the collected poems of E. E. Cummings.
Hillary, politically aware even then, was a budding Republican who took after her staunchly conservative father. In long discussions at the church, Jones introduced Hillary to the left. The young minister was determined to show his white, privileged parishioners the world beyond their suburban town. He took them to the South Side of Chicago to hear Martin Luther King Jr. speak. Jones introduced each of them to the civil-rights leader.”
“But the conversation wasn’t all politics. “Hillary would come up to talk to me after I preached and make comments about the sermon, how the hymns, prayers and Biblical passages were coordinated with the message,” Jones tells NEWSWEEK. Jones hewed closely to the social-justice tradition of the Methodist Church, preaching that helping those in need was a means of practicing their faith.”
For anyone interested in the whole article, it’s here.

Hillary’s brand of Christianity won’t fool evangelicals, just other Democrats with cafeteria faith.
This is just too good!!
Here’s another interesting tidbit from the article:
“Not everyone appreciated the minister’s lessons. Within two years, the conservative members of the congregation asked him to leave. Jones landed at Drew University in Madison, N.J., where he spent his career teaching theology.”
So the man who shaped Hillary’s religious thought was so much a religious maverick his own church threw him out. Maybe they were upset he was corrupting the kids.
They hired him to be a youth minister and instead he was raising radicals. So the only place he could find was teaching college, his own particular theology in the one place a minister can get away with not preaching the Bible.
Shameless person and laughable newspaper.
This is actually from The Onion, right?
That would explain the oven mitts.
Reverend Jones taught his University of Life program, which included a heavy helping of radical politics, poetry, art history, and countercultural thought.
Rev. Jones “developed his privileged suburban students’ social consciences by taking them to visit migrant workers’ children.”
The Rev. Jones, a frequent visitor to the White House
helped preside over the wedding of her brother Tony Rodham in the White House Rose Garden on May 28, 1994.
