MIERS CONVERSION?

Did a liberal convert into a conservative due to a religious experience? Did a normal woman transform into Wonder Woman?

The rod the Bush-bots are using to try and keep Christians and conservatives in line with the nomination of Harriet Miers is that she had a "religious conversion". This is an effective way to sweep her ultra-liberal, feminist, pro-queer record under the table.

I certainly believe such a conversion can happen and can have such far-reaching, life-changing effects. But there are also many false conversions. "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven". The question is, is HER conversion valid? In reading her alleged religious conversion, I see no clear salvation testimony, only that the 60 year old spinster developed a "close relationship" with the male organist of a church that appears to hold to works and baptismal regeneration, rather than solely faith in Jesus Christ.

Supposedly her church is pro-life, but so was Bill Clinton's church, so is Ted Kennedy's, and so is the church of virtually every member of the current Supreme Court. Conversely, George W. Bush's church is rather liberal on abortion and sodomy.

Let's look at Meirs' RECENT record, SINCE her supposed conversion.

Miers emailed me and told me that the message might offend people of other faiths, i.e., that the message was too Christian. She wanted me to change it. (TG: It was a message on a CHRISTMAS card!)

Miers' brother says he's learning more

DALLAS -- Harriet Miers is so private that three days after her nomination to the Supreme Court, even her brother says he is learning things about his younger sister. Robert Miers, 62, said Wednesday that he has prodded his sister to tell him about her work with President Bush, but the most she will ever say is that she chopped wood with him at his Crawford ranch or jogged with him in Washington. "She says everything is confidential," said Roberts Miers.

Miers' time on Dallas City Council provides some insight

In 1991, Miers voted in favor of a council resolution reaffirming economic sanctions Dallas had imposed against South Africa, then under a white minority-rule apartheid government. The council adopted the resolution by a 6-2 vote with three absences. At the time, President George H.W. Bush was considering repealing federal economic sanctions against the country."

As she goes through this nomination process, something like that should cheer the liberals and lead to gnashing of teeth among the very conservative social conservative," said Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University, Miers' alma mater.

Miers was one of 10 Dallas council members to unanimously approve a 1989 agenda item that revised minimum height, weight and vision requirements for Dallas firefighters to facilitate "promotion of certain ranks in the Fire Department," particularly women. The agenda item's title: "Implementation of Fire Department Affirmative Action Plan."

Voted in 1991 to ratify a resolution urging the Texas State Legislature to observe the Rev. Martin Luther King's birthday as a state holiday. The council unanimously ratified the resolution.

Voted in 1991 to ratify a resolution supporting passage of the federal North American Free Trade Agreement. The council ratified the resolution by a 7-2-2 vote.

Voted in 1991 in favor of a resolution urging Congress to approve a presidential request for "fast track" trade negotiation authority. The resolution passed 5-2-3.

TG: If this is the result of a religious conversion, I'm glad I got a different one than she did.
