“we have enough Quakers and Methodists out there who don’t support America in any war effort.”

Hey, now...I’m a Methodist (but I have to agree with you about the UMC’s national leadership)

I WAS a Methodist but dropped out after learning of their pacifist beliefs. I think the Methodist Church went bad when they merged in the 1950’s with the “United Brethren”, hence the “United” in the United Methodist Church.

I understand there ARE independent Methodist Churches which have no real connection with the UMC, a pacifist, and, in my opinion, subversively run organization.

Not everyone who is a member of the UMC is a pacifist or subversive, but I would most definitely say their leadership is, and I think a LOT of mainstream Protestant Churches have moved in that direction, at least from the perspective of their leadership.

I consider myself a generic Christian and have pretty much had it with the pacifists and liberal political activists in too many of our churches and I think the membership roles reflect that a lot of Americans think like me.

As for Quakers, I have no use whatsoever for them. The Founding Fathers should have kicked them all out along with their buddies, the Tories. Then we wouldn't have to deal with them undermining our military efforts with their nonsense and treason.
