[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.
