What, you're surprised that smarmy Republican pipsqueak hates The Gay, too? What an asshole.

would apologize," he says. . .
[S]ays his mother, Patricia Walker[,] "He has a gift for
listening to people. I want him to be where God wants him.
He is open to the Lord's leading." . . .
He helped out in his dad's churches, and as he grew older, he
began preaching, reporting back about youth camps he attended,
even discussed Scripture. He loved the outdoors, especially
canoeing, and became an Eagle Scout.
In 1985, he attended Badger Boys State and was selected to go
to Boys Nation in Washington, where young people learn about
government.
He was in school [at Marquette University, in Milwaukee]
for three years but didn't get a degree. . .
He landed a job with IBM. Then he got the full-time job in marketing
with the Red Cross. . .
In. . . 1993, he married. . . a widow 12 years his senior. . .

Our roots are in one of the largest churches in the area,
Elmbrook Church. . .
During the 1980s and 90s, Elmbrook grew at a fast pace.
Their vision for growth included the desire to start
like-minded daughter congregations throughout the Milwaukee
area. . .
The vision to start Meadowbrook in its location was in
recognition of a large unchurched population in the area
halfway between Elmbrook and Eastbrook. . .
Meadowbrook’s core group began meeting for prayer in 1987.
They began by holding weekly prayer meetings at Hart Park.
In the fall of 1988 they started holding worship services
at the West Suburban YMCA. It soon became apparent that
there was a sufficient nucleus committed to establishing
a new church. . .

Here's an amusing factoid. When J. R. R. Tolkien was still
alive, he sold the manuscripts of _The Lord of the Rings_
to Marquette University. In the event, not all of
them actually found their way to Marquette until
Christopher Tolkien completed volumes VI through IX
of _The History of Middle-earth_. Now, Tolkien's
surviving manuscripts are to be found either in the
Department of Western Manuscripts of the Bodleian Library
at Oxford, or at Marquette University.
