Leakey, Texas is a beautiful little Texas Hill Country town.  I’ve been there a time or three myself and enjoyed my visit.  Not so much right now.

There’s a small church there, and I use the term church loosely, called The Church in the Valley and it is run by Pastor Ray Miller. Ray got a tad juiced up on the holy water and decided to use the church marque as a fist fight provoker.  It doesn’t take much to provoke a fist fight in Leakey but calling a man a communist is a good starting point.

The Rev. Sam Hunnicut, pastor at nearby Hunt United Methodist Church, was not amused and pastored thusly, “it is my opinion that a sign of this nature, and the underlying theology which motivates it is perhaps not that dissimilar from Westboro Baptist; or any of a number of fundamentalist groups who have chosen to identify themselves as ‘Christian.'”

Hummm …

Thems fightin’ words because he said Baptist.  So out crusades the local Baptist brethren …..

Mark Spaniel, pastor at First Baptist Church of Leakey, told The Christian Post that he has known the congregation of Church in the Valley and its head pastor Ray Miller for over two decades.

“They are among the best people and most conscientious believers I’ve ever known … Many will likely demonize him and his congregation because of the quote on the sign,” said Spaniel.

Okay, let’s take a thinkin’ break, Rev. Spaniel.  Who exactly here is doing the demonizing?  If calling a man a communist ain’t demonizing him, then you’ve been to way too many KKK meetings.

It is my belief that Rev. Ray Bob Miller knows for a dead solid hard down certain fact that President Barack Obama is not a communist.  But, he had to use the “c” word because he couldn’t use the “n” word.

Thanks to everybody who gave me the heads up on this.
