Trey Gowdy: Billy Graham Pastor "copout" on Immigrant Reefor

Postby Stephen Fox » Thu Aug 15, 2013 10:02 pm

Trey Gowdy held a town hall meeting tonight at Friendship Baptist church NW Lyman, S.C. I was in the Upstate visiting. In the direction of Back to Bama now

Gowdy was kind enough to speak to me about five minutes before the Town Hall. I told him I'd done some free lance writing and was passionate about immigration reform expressing some of what I've been harping about on this board, my blog and elsewhere the last year or so.

He said he was serious about what he said on Fox News about 6 weeks ago, but he was unfamiliar with Miguel de la Torre and Will Willimon's stance on immigration. He wasn't exactly sure who Willimon was; but knows Baxter Wynn and his brother at FBC Greenville very well. Maybe Baxter can help with this mission field.

Gowdy said Dream Act was hard trog in his district though he was aware Chic Fil A endorsed it in 06. We bounced Scriptural basis around a little and had consensus Hospitality themes of the Bible affirmed justice and immigration reform. But he expressed some disappointment in his and billy Graham's pastor Don Wilton saying he Gowdy had not missed many Sunday mornings in worship at FBC Sburg and never heard his pastor mention immigration reform. He found that to be somethng of a "copout".

Yet in a straightforward question he said Collinsville, Al soccer player and salutatorian Jorge Avila Segura, and his undocumented teammates who won the state championship had not earned their citizenship without penalty as long as the border in unsecured. I told him I was satisfied with a recent report in Wash Post and other places that was a ruse. We took a picture and it was time for the Pledge of Allegiance, a Prayer, an intro complete with Jerry Falwell's favorite verse in Chronicles If my People will humble themselves and pray.........; and then it was Showtime for Gowdy and his recitations of all the so called Obama "scandals". And he took great relish in playing to his allwhite about 75 crowd base.

Only person of color there was the cameraman for Foxcarolina.com, Dominique Davis, QB for the Boiling Springs SC football team about ten years ago whose line included John Callaway, now on staff at FBC Greenville S.C. with Lester Maddox nephew Baxter Wynn; Callaway a Wake Forest div grad who studied with Bill Leonard, Melissa Rogers and knows Curtis Freeman well.

All Ether county gone hear about this!

Your headline has nothing to do with the content of your post. So you're not above a bit of demgoguery to try to push your agenda, huh?

Lee Saunders, let me look at my initial post again. I thought I Nailed the exchange with Gowdy in my Title. Take a look at www.foxcarolina.com facebook wall. Just click on facebook icon top of their page. Have more for you there, hoping to coordinate Upstate chat with Bl.com. Get word to your staffer buddy at FBC Sburg. I think they may want to follow, even participate at one venue or the other.

This may be what Democracy Looks Like!

Truett and Lincoln; or Nixon and Thurmond

That is the Question I pose to Gowdy on the Facebook wall of www.foxcarolina.com

And Here is the template I suggested to him for a House Bill if he breaks the Truett, Lincoln route
