God's Democrat is Zell Miller, playing the role of Lot.
The kind that over looks the 10 Commandments because they're politically incorrect.
How dare God tell them they shouldn't covet they neighbors pay checks!
At least the guy has the decency to be pro-life. That leads me to believe he's genuine in his beliefs. There is something consistent, if wrongheaded, about the pacifist-socialist worldview as long as it's accompanied by a belief in protecting the unborn. The height of hypocrisy is to preach compassion for "the least of these" while allowing babies to be murdered in the womb. I'm glad Wallis doesn't succumb to that.
People just get sillier and sillier.
"The Weekly Standard will do well if it doesn't paint the progressive evangelical movement as all the liberals who are religious"
Is that some kind of a threat?
Thanks for posing this article. The chance is that a genuine pacifist-socialist-green platform combined with a consistent opposition to abortion, gay marriage, porn etc constitutes what many East Asian and minority evangelical Christians in the US consider as the "conservative Christian" position. They believe "political conservatism on economics and WOT is theological liberalism/apostasy". I had been there before and I grew up with this particular teaching.
Ping to dsc, okie, Quix, and others for reference and comments!
Another question: one one has asked his opinions on socially liberal and atheist leftists who are 3 out of 3 left-leaning on social/moral, foreign/defence, and economics/social welfare issues.
What does he think of the likes of ACLU, Hollywoord producers and directors, or indeed any one of the Beltway and Northeast liberal establishment who declare "religions is for the weak", such as Ted Turner?

So how come Sojourners is still tax exempt?
Bingo! Wallis is one of the most dangerous influences on the church at large (all denominations are buying this heresy) right now. I think a lot of average church goers are unaware of the error seeping in in the guise of 'blessing the poor.'
Check my recent posts. I'm trying to keep abreast of what Sojourners is up to. It's seemed to gain a lot of speed in the last few years, since the Demoncrats have realized religion can be a powerful motivator and tried to harness its 'energy' for their own agenda.
BTW Wallis had the gall to suggest that religious right people are consumed with ideology, that ideology is one of the 'principalities and powers' that we war against as Christians. This would imply that he does NOT have an ideology, since he's got it all figured out in his book God's Politics.
I recently downloaded a talk he gave at the Kennedy institute for Government which talked about this book. The essence is the Conservatives are bad guys, misguided, wrong, selfish, etc, but the left just have to return to their optimistic activist roots and have courage to stand up for their convictions once again. gag me.
Mr. Wallis, slander is included in "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."

Saul Alinsky - The Religious Marxist-Left follows him "religiously". Their magazine? Sojourners:

Saul Alinsky's books: Rules for Radicals and Reveille for Radicals
In the 60's, as a radical hippy-type mentality herself at Wellesley, Hillary Clinton was so enamored of Saul Alinsky and his *methods* she wrote her senior thesis under his mentoring.
Barbara Olson's book, "Hell To Pay" which dissects Hillary, used Alinsky's comments as chapter lead-ins.
(Barbara Olson died in the plane that hit the Pentagon on 9-11)
*
There is a chapter in Rules for Radicals that details how to steal an election.
It was an exact blueprint of what happened in Florida 2000.
1 - Question the validity of the vote - done by pre-arranged phone banks in St Louis calling democratic voters to ask if they had mistakenly voted for Buchanan
2 - Demand a recount.
3 - Try and forment a rabble on the streets - Remember Jesse Jackson's (failed) attempts at that?
4 - Litigate
5 - Obfuscate, keep counting..
If you read the book you will be amazed at how closely the plan was followed..
