Maybe in the mega churches they need to start teaching economics, business, and politics 101. The churches are not taxed so of course they can get away with dismissing this pragmatic reality and preach idealism until the cows come home. If this person and evangelicals he is writing about are so worried about Mom's being able to put food on the table they better consider what 'compassion' costs in taxes first as one third of what everyone earns ATLEAST is taken out of our paycheck. This is saying they want to increase the money taken out of that Mom's paycheck even more. Go figure on how all that makes sense in the real world. Maybe add accounting classes too.
I am an evangelical. This is why I want as little government in my life. PERIOD. Balance the budget. Maintain our military. Simple tasks. Then get the heck out. Be green all you want on your own. Free country.
Oh yeah and the country should maintain the boundaries of our border. Number three. That is about it for this Social and Fiscal conservative. The man who wrote the article is describing Democrat party policies. Bye, bye evangelicals if this is your philosophy, do not let the door hit you in the as-. By the way kiss all the people at the gay church weddings as well with your fellow Dems.
Sorry, your a Christian Basher just face it.
In fairness though, many evangelicals voted for President Bush because he is a Christian, but has proved himself to NOT be a fiscal conservative when it comes to big government. After a while it becomes a coin toss—do I vote values and hope he turns out to be conservative, or do I cast my vote solely on fiscal conservatism and hope he turns out to have values. One heck of a choice we have here. I do try to remind myself that it took four years of Jimmy Carter to produce eight years of Ronald Reagan. We would not have had one without the other. Maybe we need another wake-up call (as much as that would pain me).
