Remember people, the devil himself used Scripture when he tempted Jesus in the wilderness. The problem is he misinterpreted the Word.

I think her message is not in context with the Bible. Anyone can use part of a verse in the Bible and have the meaning be totally different than the actual verse.

The churchgoer divide in voting behavior has been noted for sometime, but it has widened in recent years, due to the never-ending war on Christianity waged by secularists. According to the 2004 national exit poll, the 16 percent of the electorate that attends church more than once a week voted for George Bush by 64 percent to 35 percent. Among the 15 percent of all voters who never go to church, John Kerry prevailed by a dismal opposite margin of 62-36.

However, we do need to keep reinforcing the conservative agenda because of Hillary Clinton's rightward slitherings, and other ominous signs that the conservative agenda is in danger of being co-opted.

I call it "the Uriah Heep Factor."

There are people who are rank opportunists ---they gravitate to whoever's got the power.

Many, many savvy Repubs years ago predicted these left-leaning, pro-abort squatters-with-an-agenda having corrupted their own party, would bring their foul nest into the Republican party.

Conservatives need to be aware that the post-election "Uriah Heep Factor" is kicking in big time.

Conservatives know the "Uriah Heeps" are out there plotting and planning to co-opt the 2004 conservative victory for their own hidden agendas.

The Uriah Heeps of the world would manhandle the social conservative victory----and dilute the mandate----for their own self-serving agendas.

Charles Dickens' Uriah Heep character was notorious for wielding undue influence, a bounder who was always planning and plotting, ingratiating himself into the confidence of others. Uriah Heep was obsequious, manipulative, and wormed his way into positions of influence. Uriah was a consummate con man, and not to be trusted.

Translated into the language of the popular culture, the Uriah Heeps would position themselves as amenable to conservative qualities of faith and compassion, but are insincere in these feelings, using conservatives and our issues only to advance their own agendas and ambitions.

They have smelled the power of conservatives, and now these Uriah Heeps grow in their desire to exercise control over conservatives, and the conservative agenda.

The Uriah Heeps of the world with their vulgar sense of entitlement feed on the victories of others. They become more and more power-hungry and will deploy their self-serving strategies to selfish purposes.

We need to watch out, for they will bring more harm to conservative interests, to the rights of the unborn, religious freedom, the restoration of American culture, and so on.

At their very core, the Uriah Heeps evince an elitist, unmitigated contempt for Christian conservatives, and all they stand for. They hold their noses in the presence of the conservatives they loathe, in order to co-opt conservatives for their own self-serving purposes.

Christians are aware of whom they serve and watch carefully to see if promises made to them are empty.

There are those in the political spectrum who coyly speak the conservative language to appeal to Christian values, but who are not believers, just latter-day Uriah Heeps.

That's her strategy----to create doubt in the minds of Christian voters. That's been very effective for the Clintons---how they've won previous elections.

Hillary has repositioned herself within the political spectrum and will coyly speak the Christian conservative language to appeal to Christian values, but Christians know this radical pro-abort, pro-homo candidate has aligned herself with Christian haters in order to win elective office.

I'm fairly certain that hillary would don the black robe and sacrifice live kittens if it would help her political ambitions.

Case in point is that national government is an institution which is divinely established. From the Tower of Babel, God created different languages and different groupings of peoples. Within Israel there were 12 tribes. That institution is for believers and unbelievers alike.

Even when Abraham posed as Sarah's brother in a foreign land to avoid risk of being targeted by the locals to seize his possessions, he was later chastised for not remaining faithful to God and for presenting falsehoods to legitimate authority.

IMHO, I would rejoice in my heart if Hillary would have the wherewithal to turn to God through faith in Christ in even the least of things, however, I also recognize her soul is so deeply scarred in so many antiChristian thoughts, that she is far from an example of a God fearing believing legitimate authority.

I've noticed many a person who have fallen away from God or have never placed faith in Him, refer to works that are good in their own eyes as a standard for their perception of righteousness. Many who are so scarred relate to the Good Samaritan as a do-gooder, rather than as one who first places his faith in God through Christ. Consequently, they frequently chase after things that are divinely good for nothing, rather than accepting even the least of His grace.
