Christian Runs With Big Dogs

From Big Pastor Ted's own web site. Unions no good, cheap plastic stuff at big chain store, good!

We farm kids know what's good for country. Gay, bad - Abortion, bad - cheap anything good. Now pass that pipe.


Christian Runs With Big Dogs: "As for President Bush, Haggard shrugs off any suggestion that the two are buddy-buddy: 'He's a Crawford, Texas, guy and I'm an Indiana farm kid - we have a lot of the same values.'

At one typical meeting in Washington with a half-dozen other evangelicals, Haggard eyeballed Bush and pitched his point. But it wasn't about abortion or gay marriage - rather, of all things, the steel tariff.
'I told him we wanted it out,' Haggard recalled. 'I said, 'Those unions in Pennsylvania are not gonna vote for you. Your responsibility is the good of the people and free trade is the way we get cheaper steel.' '

For Haggard, free trade is one of the keys to the pursuit of happiness. 'Free trade means there's plenty of aspirin, eyeglasses and food for everyone around the world. Without free trade, we'd have massive starvation. If people aren't getting (goods), the reason is political intervention.' "
