No muslim clerics?
No Reverend Wright?
That’s an outrage.
Our system isn't broken, it's failing because we have a bunch of fat, lazy dumb-asses in government who won't enforce existing law. Don't tell me we can't deport these people. If we can put a man on the moon we can sure as hell do this.
Mail order preachers, who would have thought.
Dr. Richard Land “Hispanics are hard-wired to be like us on sanctity of life, marriage and issues of faith,” Land told CNN recently, describing political similarities between Hispanics and white Southern Baptists. “I’m concerned about being perceived as being unwelcoming to them.”
So Dr. Land, although illegals may be “hard-wired” to be “like us” on these issues, they are also expected to vote en masse for a political party that is not “like us” on these issues. So explain to me how this gets us anywhere close to implementing policy that people “like us” support.
Most Americans obey the law!
Hybels “spiritual adviser” to Bill Clinton
Land, the SBC leftist who earlier pronounced in 2009 how great Obama was on Family values
And the association of Evangelicals, the left wing counterfeit organization to true Christian positions and unmasked by James Dobson.
These Marxist ideologues have no more credibility as true evangelicals than Joe Biden.
These misguided, corrupt ‘religious leaders’ better stop their pandering and listen to their flock!

Poll: Pew and Pulpit Disagree on Immigration Zogby Survey Finds Religious Leaders and Members at Odds WASHINGTON (December 29, 2009) - In contrast to many national religious leaders who are lobbying for increases in immigration, a new Zogby poll of likely voters who belong to the same religious communities finds strong support for reducing overall immigration. Moreover, members strongly disagree with their leaders’ contention that more immigrant workers need to be allowed into the country. Also, most parishioners and congregants prefer more enforcement to cause illegal workers to go home, rather than legalization of illegal immigrants, which most religious leaders...

I agree. Land needs to stay completely out of this. He’s worried about appearing to be unwelcoming, well there’s a way to welcome these people into the US legally as we all know. To me as a Southern Baptist it’s troubling that Land is placing appearances above the rule of law.
We don’t need this sort of muddled thinking.
He is now only using God, Prayer, Faith and now Clergymen to appeal to those who hate his ideology.
How stupid does he think we are??????
I'd say that fat wife of his asks him that every day.
They are totally members of the Devils Brigade and not Christian in any manner.
No interview on Olbermann, Maddow, Schultz or Goodman’s shows from some ACLU Commie hack crying and fretting over the “separation of Church and State”?
These people are openly Communists.
Time to prepare for war.

“worries that conservatives will burn bridges with the country’s fast-growing Hispanic bloc if they take a hard anti-immigrant line”
Geee, I thought it was the job of the Holy Spirit to convict. I didn’t realize we had to ignore the laws of the nation in order to for the Holy Spirit to work.
