Fifty years behind the pulpit and 30 years in the political spotlight have
not slowed the Reverend Jerry Falwell

After 50 years behind the pulpit at the Thomas Road Baptist Church in
Lynchburg, Virginia, and nearly 30 years in the political spotlight, the
Rev. Jerry Falwell has a lot to be proud of. While he hasn't achieved the
iconic status of the Rev. Billy Graham, and his books have not sold the
millions of copies that Tim LaHaye's "Left Behind" series of apocalyptic
novels or megachurch Pastor Rick Warren's "The Purpose Driven Life," have,
Falwell has been a major player in the changing political landscape over the
past three decades. Now, though still a potent political figure, he has set
about to solidify a permanent monument to his life's work; building a
multi-million dollar endowment for his thoroughly Christian Liberty
University.

Oh, his 'legacy' is safe and certain. He'll earn his spot
in the history books. Now whether it will be a GOOD spot,
well ... maybe he'd better have himself frozen so he can
offer a defense in the future .....

Falwell's legacy is that he speaks for a huge genuine GRASSROOTS
that's throughout America. Unlike the liberals opposing him, he
actually says what many white people outside the core urban Northeast
think.

"Grass roots" huh ? Aren't those usually covered in filth
and never see the light ?

He's an accurate reflection of what a FEW think ...
and it's a NASTY image. Most are vastly more moderate
in their views ... though not bleeding-heart twits
like the big-city 'liberals'.

Falwell stands for a medieval view of the universe.
The rest of us moved past that a LONG time ago - and
for good reason.

Well, if one or two percent are gay and THAT'S enough
to call it 'normal' ... then if 16%% are schitzos THAT
is clearly even easier to call 'normal' ... right ? :-)

An anti-American grassroots.
