James Lankford, OK; Ga's Doug Collins; and Gowdy

Postby Stephen Fox » Fri May 10, 2013 11:33 am

That's the SBC caucus in the Tea Party US House now. Lankford and Gowdy both on the Benghazi House Committee peppering Hillary.

Doug Collins is ordained SBC pastor now the US Rep in new Districk of Gainesville, Ga Dawsonville and parts of Forsyth County; Gov Deal's congressman. Collins opposed Chic Fil A's Dan Cathy on the Dream Act. Baps Today had their celebration at FBC Gainesville, Hope it was "prophetic" witness with Kate and Suzii in the room.

Talked to Suzette, native of Tuscaloosa Bama this morn. She is a Bob Jones Grad been in Greenville S.C. for 26 years, member of Faith Baptist, Taylors and on staff with Gowdy's Greenville office. Very Civil woman and I enjoyed talking to her. Gowdy's chief of Staff Matthew Van Patton knows the legacy of Greer's Stewart Simms, and FBC Alastair Walker, both former trustees of Furman.

Gonna be interesting tea Party Immigration navigation.

Lankford is hard core fundy SBC Baptist, tight with Al Mohler according to one of his staffers.

Phone calls to Gov Bentley and Lindsey Graham

Postby Stephen Fox » Wed May 22, 2013 10:17 am

Had a good conversation yesterday with Wilson Roberts a rising Furman Senior on summer staff in D.C. with S.C. Senator Lindsey Graham's office. Wilson said his Uncle was a 62 Furman grad, a year ahead of my HS tennis coach Roger Smoak, and Marshall Frady. Wilson is from Boston.

He promised to bring my blog and this Bl.com forum thread to the Senator's attention.

This morning I talked to John Blackmon in Gov Bentley's office to bring to his attention a letter the salutatorian of Collinsville Class 2013 has emailed the Governor about Immigration and this years HS State Champion Soccer Team--see my blog on soccer and the tea party.

The Governor has been a deacon at FBC Tuscaloosa where Rick Lance Ex Dir of Bama Baptists was one time pastor.

I have also gotten word to Father Gerald at ST. Francis Catholic Church in Tuscaloosa, Coach Nick Saban's Priest.

I am trying to enlist Robert Parham, Baxter Wynn of FBC Greenville, and Sen Graham's office to help me find out where Dan Cathy and Chic Fil A is now on the Dream Act. In 2006 my best info is they endorsed the Dream Act.

I have also contacted Melissa Rogers, President Obama's Faith Based Liaison.

Collinsville Commencement is tomorrow night at 7pm, Thursday, May 23.

NY Times Oped of May 22

Postby Stephen Fox » Wed May 22, 2013 11:46 am

I commented there, praising the Collinsville Soccer Team.

Tomorrow night May 23, Collinsville Commencement for the Class of 2013 Could be Selma for Immigration reform in Alabama. These Hispanic children I have known and loved for 14 years and more in the town where my Mother was baptized, like the man Taylor Branch reports on in the Pulitzer King Trilogy and again last Fall in the King Years: The Class of 2013 Collinsville, Alabama has already won; THEY WON WHEN THEY STARTED WALKING.

Now its time for Trey Gowdy and Lindsey Graham to join Dan Cathy and pass the Dream Act as part of the Path to Citizenship. ALL of the class of 2013 should be handed their citizenship papers tomorrow night, no penalties, no questions asked.

Jane of Greenville and Georgetown; Gowdy SHJ

Postby Stephen Fox » Thu May 23, 2013 4:50 pm

Check goupstate.com today for my three comments on the article about Trey Gowdy and the Fifth amendment.

Earlier in the day had a chat with Sen Lindsey Graham staffer Jane of Greenville S.C. now at Georgetown. Articulate young woman likely a Christ Church grad. I think she understands my passion for the Dream Act. The question will be does David Wilkins in consultation with Baxter Wynn informed by Parham, Willimon and ethicsdaily.com; can they bring Trey Gowdy to his knees.
www.drshow.org Excellent panel this morn on current political status of the dream act. I hope all yall listen.

Also had brief chat with the communications director of the CBF Aaron Weaver on immigration. Trying to find out where Dan Cathy is.

Collinsville commencement in two hours.

Cornyn's Poison Pill and the SBC

Postby Stephen Fox » Wed Jun 12, 2013 12:09 pm

I had a chat with one of Tx Sens Cornyn Staffers this morning to the effect Russ Moore was not in the Tea Party Pocket to the extent Richard Land was. Has implications for Lottie Moon and Chic Fil a and future voters in Texas of the Baptist Strife.

NPR made strong case yesterday Cornyn is kowtowing to homeland security pockets and their program for the border lines their own coffers and not sensible.

Whether Russ Moore explores that publicly during immigration reform is an early test of his SBC mettle.

We remember how Ronnie Floyd scorched Bill Clinton in 93 in Houston.

What about now when it really is called for with something at the heart of SBC witness in Latin America.

Also told the staffer about the Justice Porch at the Washington Cathedral in D.C. It was news to him but he said he would check it out!!!

Lindsey Graham and Lankford Staffers

Postby Stephen Fox » Fri Jun 14, 2013 11:25 am

Had fascinating conversations in last couple days with Graham and OK US rep Lankford staffers.

Graham staffer Stearns Mother is a member of the Order of the Palmetto, S.C. highest order. Looking forward to further conversations with her, an Episcopalian.

And Lankford staffer is student at OU. I hope he will make the acquaintance of Charles Kimball soon. Bright young fellow with interests in politics, literary theory, and history. Gave him a reading list including James Wood The Broken Estate, and Marilynne Robinson Absence of Mind.

Told him both trump Al Mohler, no brainer.

Conversation with FBC Spartanburg

Postby Stephen Fox » Mon Jun 17, 2013 2:08 pm

I just had a brief chat with Debbie, the secretary for Don Wilton, SR pastor of FBC Spartanburg bringing her attention and hopefully the church's to this site with concerns I have about Gowdy, Ginny Brant and the IMB and immigration reform.

Added to that is Gowdy's fellow Texas Tea Party Baptist Congressman Gohmert of Gary North's Tyler Texas and his Fox News sliming of the Boston Mosque where Charles Kimball, Robert Parham and others filmed scenes in 2009 of the documentary Different Books Common Word.
