One of the big surprises of this campaign season has been the rise of political newcomer James Lankford. He's gone from the Program Director of Falls Creek Church Camp to the prohibitive favorite to be our next right wing nutjob US congressman.
Here's what we wrote about James in our 5th Congressional District Preview:
From what I understand, James Lankford's ONLY job to this point has been director at Falls Creek Church Camp. On his website, he writes "Falls Creek has never been about any one person, it has always been about what God chooses to do in the lives of people who get quiet and listen to His still small voice." Yeah, apparently God's still small voice says, "Get drunk and sleep with as many confused young girls as possible."
This place is called the "Baptist Breeding Grounds" for a reason. When I was a kid, all my church friends told me I had to go to Falls Creek. They told me this when I informed them I'd never been drunk, stoned, or laid.
"Dude, go to Falls Creek and you won't be saying that at the end of the summer!"
