The religious right's political power ebbs

[Uri’el-2012]

The MSM is working hard to create cracks in the GOP

[fweingart]

Wishful thinking.

They hope the Christians fold while the Mooselimbs grow stronger.

[Tarpon]

Here is my bet ... Conservatives will be around a lot longer than McClatchy Newspapers.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

First, the clout was always more imagination than reality. Second, this article is full of bias and efforts to lead the reader. Imagine any other group of citizens being treated as scandalous for participating in the political process. And the religious liberals have always been with us. That is nothing new. They were just ignored because their poltiical participation wasn't seen as a scandal to the liberal media.

The only change I see is in the Republican Party itself. They don't want the Christian vote.

Christians have a right and a duty to participate in the political process -- even rotten, phony, liberal Christians. If people get mad about it then they need to control their own irrational emotions. No one is calling for legislating theology. The separate spheres are perfectly safe even if we someday win both a life amendment and a marriage amendment.

Hitlery can unite Evangelicals.

We know an antichrist wantabe when we see one.

They only wish -- we have read the end of the Book and we already know Who wins!

[longtermmemmory]

The MSM is working quadruple overtime.

Evangelicals think F.Thompson is a vampire.
Guiliani is Reagan’s love child.
Dobson to run for pope.

Could they be more transparent. They think it is 1970.

Hitlery can unite Evangelicals.

Not if Rudy is the alternative.

[JSDude1]

It only takes one man that is faithful to the Lord, willing to do his will, and to strive to follow God’s word (and that includes in politics) to make a difference- Christian conservatives can easily come back all we need is one to say “Lord here I am, take me (use me)”.

Like the profits of Old..!

LOL!

[RegulatorCountry]

Profits can be prophetic, much like today’s weather is, on average, a better indicator of tomorrow’s than the official forecast. But, when it comes right down to it, much as I like the profits, both old and new, I prefer the prophets of old.

[Coldwater Creek]

Dr. Land is right on the money.

[Brilliant]

The only question is whether the religious right is going to take its ball and go home.

Personally, I am not.

[durasell]

But do you believe in Wall Street prophets?

[freekitty]

They sure are.

[RegulatorCountry]

There’s a big difference between merely giving credence to, and belief.
