He's an Episcopalian. Explains everything. Social liberals eventually morph into fiscal liberals too, and then what's the difference between them and leftist Democrats?

Hint: Nothing.

Well good luck in 2006 and 2008 then. Whole lotta people gonna sit back and watch the squishy moderates elect "their" kind of people. Good luck with that! Hello Dem majority and hello Hillary.

I assumed he's lumping in us conservative and traditional Catholics in as part of the "religious right."

I think he wants us all gone, so the GOP can go back into permanent minority status, and he can get invited to more Democrat parties.

Yes, lets get the country clubber RINOS back into power and back into the minority in Washington. There used to having the Dems walk all over them. They have been a tremendous help in the Senate lately.

Okay, we'll leave.

If they want to see a repeat of 1992 and 1996, they can keep it up. "Leaving" is not necessary.

We'll just stay home on election day like we did for 41 and for "It's my turn" Dole.

"Ronaldus" is no Magnus OR Reagan, from what I see on this thread.

I think a few people would disagree with Mr. D. Oh, and this is just a small sample.

John Adams: “ The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity… I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”
• “[July 4th] ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.”

Benjamin Franklin: “God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel” –Constitutional Convention of 1787

Alexander Hamilton: "For my own part, I sincerely esteem it [the Constitution] a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests." [1787 after the Constitutional Convention]

Thomas Jefferson:
“ The doctrines of Jesus are simple, and tend to all the happiness of man.”

“Of all the systems of morality, ancient or modern which have come under my observation, none appears to me so pure as that of Jesus.”

"I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus."

James Madison: “We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We’ve staked the future of all our political institutions upon our capacity…to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.” [1778 to the General Assembly of the State of Virginia]

So much for a big tent, huh? Maybe it's time for E. Christians to have their own party.


with Jimmuh Cah-ter as the leader ?!?!?!? seriously though evangelical and conservative aren't the same. Many evangelical churches pray for "help for farmers" and don't forget Billy Graham ( the greatest Evangelist last century) is a lifelong Democrat !

Do you have any examples to support your claim of embarassment?
Being an ordained minister does not a conservative make. Barry Lynn would be one of the most obvious examples.

It's not so bad, compared to the DNC which has been taken over by devils (Dean ,Moveon.org, Soros and Moore.)

Maybe but then again if it ever came to that it sure would tick them off to usurp the name.

Simple, everyday folk are America's strength. They are no abashment to me, a mathematician among other interests. I think some pseudo-intellectual bullies might be swayed by this subtle wedgework.

Do tell... His recent lurches to the anti-American left are seemingly inexplicable... maybe Hillary's FBI files have something to do with it.

If it were not for the religious segment, conservatives would not win elections. Try winning an election without us.
