It is now clear that many so-called “evangelical Christians” are not conservatives at all.

Did you just figure that out? Societies die of moral suicide, not socialism. The real reason the Soviet Union failed was atheism, not socialism.

I assume you are simply offering your opinion, as I notice no historical analysis follows to defend that comment. Do you have one? With the specific events that led to the failure of the Soviet Union, and how atheism is at their core.

You may be the first evangelical freeper to admit (that I’ve read, I should say) that socialism is not the worst thing that can happen to a nation. You almost sound like you want it here in the US.

Socialism is the great evil of this world. The fact that the Huckster thinks (in apparent sincerity) that he speaks for God simply shows that Satan is a talented ventriloquist.
