On the Road with Rose Aguilar



Big hat tip to Richard at the ASZ for alerting us to Stories in America, in which Rose chronicles a cross-country roadtrip that reveals some very interesting things. In her latest set of interviews, she checks in with a few folks at the gas pump in Oklahoma.
http://storiesinamerica.blogspot.com/2005/08/conversations-at-gas-pump.html

Here's a sample in which she speaks with Mary Fowler, 54, Housekeeper:
<...>
.......

Where do you get your information about the war?

The Bible and the 700 Club. I also listen to preachers who know what's going on. Pat Robertson.
........

What do you like about Bush?

He's a praying man of god. He's a family man and he does care. He gets blamed for everything. If this country would turn back to god, things would get better. You can't go on killing babies and allowing homosexual stuff to stay. We do love the people, but we don't love their actions.

<...>

What does it mean to be a Republican?

Republicans pick the people who believe like we do.
.........

You mean believe in the Bible?

Yes and godly principles. If we kick god out, we'll be like other countries that have AIDS, sickness and poverty. God created the earth, he created the rules and he knows what's best for everybody.
........

Unfortunately, we have AIDS, sickness and poverty in this country.

Yes, because we allow homosexuality.
.........

You blame homosexuality for AIDS, sickness and poverty?

Well, sometimes people are innocent. This nation is in trouble. The ACLU are run by communists and funded by communists. What does that tell you? They want to take god away from us.
.........

The ACLU once helped Pat Robertson's son set up churches. They also helped Jerry Falwell fight church restrictions three years ago. If they wanted to take god way from you, why would they help Pat Robertson's son and Jerry Falwell?

I haven't heard about that. I'm sure there are a few good people in the ACLU.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

700 Club? Pat Robertson? Yes, it's as bad as you thought it was....

There's so much more at the link, so don't hesitate to check it out. If Rose ever turns these interviews into a book, we will definitely be among the first to purchase. Priceless stuff.

1. The American Taliban's success stories. It;s so sad.
I bet this person forgot to mention FOX "News" and Rush.
