Why is Matt Rush running for land commissioner? You really need to watch the entire video to get the full flavor and extent of his remarks (not to mention the treacly background music), but here are a few nuggets:
If we want to be a Christian nation again, Christian people have to start standing up, runnning for office again … if we ever want to become a Christian nation again. That’s the reason I got involved in politics.
… For those of us who are Christians and we are proud to say we are Christians, we need to start standing up being proud of it again and we need to take the fight to the enemy. So I encourage each and every one of you to get involved.
We’ve got to start standing up because we are one nation under god and we need to make sure we take that back to our legislative process.
Notice that Rush doesn’t discuss any issues pertinent to the job of land commissioner. I guess he thinks it’s enough that people know he will battle to put his brand of Christianity in the drivers seat …
