Uh, one because I listened to a hour audio program by the man who ghostwrote Falwells books.....
two, because of confirmed news reports.....
After the signing of one ban on abortions:
"Rev. Jerry Falwell, a nationally known pastor, was part of the group that met with Bush afterwards.
"In this meeting, President Bush gallantly declared that his administration would put all of its resources behind the partial-birth abortion ban in the courtroom," Falwell said afterwards.
After some discussion and fellowship, Bush asked the group to join hands and pray "that God will bless our efforts to preserve life in our land."
"What an astounding moment this was for me personally," Falwell said. "Standing there in the Oval Office, I felt suddenly humbled to be in the presence of a man -- our president -- who takes his faith very seriously and who seeks the prayers of his friends as he leads our nation."
Following the prayer, Falwell told President Bush the people in the room represent about 200,000 pastors and 80 million Christians nationwide who consider him not only to be our president but also a man of God.
In response, Bush "humbly turned to me and replied, '
I'll try to live up to it.'"
So, PB says the guy is "fringe", but Bush will pray with him, meet with him in the Oval Office, ask him his OK on who to appoint with the Supreme Count (another story) and then try to live up to his expectations?
I didn't make this stuff up. It's pretty much common knowledge.
Falwell is certainly not fringe....I would use that title for folks like David Koresh (RIP). Robertson is not fringe. Limbaugh is not fringe.
If they are fringe....then please tell me who is mainstream? I might want to listen to them.
