On the other hand…
… it was the WASPs that kept such people as Palin/Bachmann spiritual advisor Lou Engles away from the levers of power.
Back in the day, they used to let Billy Graham come into the White House and do his thing for a couple of hours each presidential term, and that was it. Then he’d go off to North Korea and suck up to Kim Jong Il in exchange for face time with the masses. There was a certain balance, or whatever you’d call that.
Update
Actually, it was Kim Il Sung to whom he sucked up, mostly.
One man’s highlight of the day is another man’s Room 101.Report
BarrettBrown, I appear to be still in fucking England, I’d like to suck up to you in that room with the servants.
Oops said that out loud. (not drunk)Report
I’d like to see you when you’re drunk, in person.Report
Wait, what? Is there some back story I’m missing here?Report
Yeah, sorry. I made a post yesterday about what huge WASPs H.W. Bush and Barbara are and how it’s swell that WASPery is out of political vogue. Just now I changed my mind.Report
For those who don’t do snark well, it might be useful to state that this idiot is not Palin/Bachman’s spiritual advisor. Someone might get the impression you are a member of Palingates.com.Report
Perhaps we have different definitions of the term “spiritual advisor”? I don’t mean it in some official capacity, but rather that he has provided advice of a spiritual nature to both of them and actively worked with them on issues that stem from their shared spirituality.Report
Rewind to Rev. Wright. Rinse, repeat.Report
Obama wasn’t actually religious, though. He’s just been lying to everyone about that so that he won’t be hassled. I used to do the same thing when I was in school and I can tell when someone else is doing it.Report
He wrote her an email. Can you show where he has “worked” with them?Report
I’d love to, but some interested party who seemed to have been more concerned with the issue than you has already had the footage taken down:

Oh wow, well that seals it. I surrender.Report
You asked me for evidence that they worked together so I went to go get that for you. It’s an account of Bachman and Engle doing their thing at some FRC-esque event. Does that not count? I can go track down something else for you but I need to know that you really want these things.Report
Yes, I want to know what issues Sarah Palin and this guy worked on. I don’t know much about Bachman, but I will investigate that claim.Report
A quick Google search returns nothing on a relationship between Engles and Palin or Bachman. So you have a video that was pulled off a site? Bachman and this guy were at a prayer meeting together, I guess is what you saw? Pretty thin.Report
I think you have secret lust in your heart for Palin and Bachman, like a schoolboy pulling the pigtails of the girl he likes. Come on, Barrett, fess up.Report
