"But there are plenty of liberal Christians. "

Where are they at?
Name any well known liberals who are REALLY Christians (that is, for example, don't spew out Bush hate as a matter of routine). The Jimmy Carters of the world need not apply.


"If George Bush were an Ayn Rand conservative instead of an evangelical conservative, do you think the federal budget would be smaller or larger than it is right now? "

Exactly what does Ayn Rand or budget deficits got to do with Christianity?
Or Ann Coullter calling liberals "Godless"?

Obviously you've never read Ayn Rand. By the way, I am not a libertarian or an objectivist. I just use Ayn Rand as an example to show how stupid is the argument that the only good conservative is a capital-G God conservative.

By the way, Islamic fundamentalists are ALL capital-G God conservatives. And they are all socialists.

And you can scream till you're blue in the face that their capital-G God doesn't match the text of your capital-G God book, and they'll scream back that you're capital-G God doesn't match their capital-G God book.

For me, I prefer to judge people on their behavior. Christians are much better behaved than Moslems. That goes without saying. But it doesn't mean they are fundamentally less inclined to support socialism, or even, for that matter, fundamentally more conservative than any other group. Some Christians are conservative and some conservatives are Christian.

But to make the argument as lower-case-c coulter does that liberalism=godless, is, as I've already said, capital-I Idiocy.
