One pertinent question is whether Lou Engle's ideological extremity has been quietly adopted by America's GOP power elite. In fact, such a question should be posed to Republican Sen. Sam Brownback, Lou Engle’s roommate for seven months, according to Engle. As Engle told congregants at a Hispanic church in Boston, Mass, on February 19, 2006,
"I was mobilizing young people to go to Boston in 2001. The gathering ….. came 11 days after 9/11. Many people from New England called and they said ‘we can’t come. It’s not safe.’ It ticked me off. Why could Muslims die better for their faith than we can? We’re able to die better than Muslims. We’re living for self-preservation rather than bringing the Kingdom. We cannot live for self preservation.
Esther was brought into a moment of time when she had to choose between living for self- preservation or say ‘if I die, I die’. And right now I’ve got young people right there in DC, who will say, ‘We’re not going to leave this house of prayer until that heinous decree of abortion has ended and if I die, I die.’ Alleluia!
As I was mobilizing for Boston, I said to kids in California ‘we need to dig the dwells of revival in Harvard and close the door of false ideologies that have come through Boston’. Amazingly a week later, I received a phone call from the US Senator from Kansas, Senator Sam Brownback, he’s a godly man. He calls me up, he says ‘Lou, I’m in England, New England. You need to dig the dwells of revival in Harvard and close the door of false ideologies that have come through Boston’. Almost word for word. A Senator was prophesying to me, glory to God.
In fact, it was prophesized to me that I would be connected with a man named Senator Sam Brownback from Kansas. But I forgot about the prophecy, so when I rented a condo in DC to mobilize for TheCall, a week later I received a phone call from the owner of the condo and he said ‘There’s a man named Senator Sam Brownback. His condo just burnt down. He wants to know if he could stay in your condo’. I became the roommate of Senator Brownback for seven months. We began to get dreams he would be the president of the United States."
If you don't know how extreme Engel is, read the entire article:
Will Lou Engle take his mega-antigay TheCall to Uganda?
http://www.talk2action.org/story/2009/12/20/224021/61What is truly scary is that some of the leaders of the GOP were openly willing to stand with him in DC. He is beyond the edge of extremism. He is truly frightening.
