Tom DeLay Sees World War on Christianity
I agree completely with Congressman DeLay. I see it only getting worse as time goes on too.
The conference was entitled, "The War on Christians and the Values Voter in 2006," so the topic of Tom DeLay's speech to conferees came as no surprise.
The scope of his comments, however, went somewhat beyond the headline.
"Our faith has always been in direct conflict with the values of the world," Rep. Tom DeLay told his audience.
He added that Christians are looked down on in the U.S. as well. "We are, after all, a society that provides abortion on demand, has killed millions of innocent children, degrades the institution of marriage and all but treats Christianity like some second-rate superstition."
The Washington, D.C. conference is being hosted by Vision America, a group founded by the Rev. Rick Scarborough "to mobilize 'patriot pastors' of all denominations to promote Christian involvement in government." according to the Houston Chronicle.
DeLay said, "we have been chosen to live as Christians at a time when our culture is being poisoned. ... God made us specifically for it. ... Jesus Christ himself made us just so that we could live in this nation at this time."
The sermon/speech delivered by DeLay came one day before Jack Abramoff, the lobbyist linked to DeLay and some of his associates, was sentenced to six years in prison.
Rev. Scarborough told the conference that DeLay had been "nearly destroyed in the press," but that he is "a man, I believe, God has appointed ... to represent righteousness in government.
The audience included Eagle Forum Founder Phyllis Schlafly, former ambassador Alan Keyes, and Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan.

Apaprently there is a voice of reason in Congress. Who knew?
Hi Beth.
Yeah, I was happy to hear that too. Maybe that's also a reason that the dems have attacked him so hard.
Also, did you catch the tone of the article at the end? "The sermon/speech delivered by DeLay.."
Couldn't just leave that one alone, could they?
God Bless!
PS
First official umpiring tonight. Say a prayer for me.
