Our local weekly newspaper the Concord Standard and Mount Pleasant Times reported on Congressman Robin Hayes' speech in his hometown:
"Stability in Iraq ultimately depends on spreading the message of Jesus Christ, the message of peace on earth, good will towards men. Everything depends on everyone learning about the birth of the Savior."
It's so hard to believe this is even true that I contacted the paper, which does not post its stories online. A reporter sent me a PDF of the front page.
Hayes is the representative the eeked out a win over Larry Kissell in November. It sure didn't take him long to start talking like he has a mandate . . . only in this case it's apparently a mandate from God.
