ceebeegeeI wonder if right now he's standing before our Lord, trying to explain his unbelievable hatefulness after 9/11, when he blamed the deaths of thousands of people on feminism and abortion and gay rights.
As far as I'm concerned, that's his legacy--that attitude, that bluster, that self-righteousness, that reflexive demonizing of humanistic and liberal beliefs.
Liberty University (which started as Liberty Baptist College and took a long time getting accredited) was near Sweet Briar--Sweet Briar is a few miles outside of Lynchburg. I had a longtime fantasy of renting a Mustang or Corvette convertible, busting through the Liberty gates and doing donuts on the campus, while blasting "Fight for Your Right to Party." I was something he wouldn't admit existed--a feminist, left-of-Jerry-Rubin, gay-and-abortion-rights-supporting Christian. We came in all flavors.
