Who's going to be the gal/guy that the pro-lifers can latch on to like a pit bull?<BR/><BR/>On bigotry, I saw in your post some of my family members from rural western Missouri. My own mother says she can't get over the name of a certain Democrat candidate. For shame.<BR/><BR/>- TLTim Lacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02896230254720822005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-67268635239409989642007-10-29T08:20:00.000-06:002007-10-29T08:20:00.000-06:00One more thought -- while it's certainly true that...One more thought -- while it's certainly true that bigotry is alive and well in certain segments of the evangelical movement (where isn't bigotry alive and well, on this side of the Jordan?) and while I thought Kirkpatrick's article was on the whole quite fair, it did strike me as a bit off key for him to end his piece with evangelical anti-Muslim bigotry and Fox's comment on Hell. He also introduced readers to the topic with Fox. <BR/><BR/>In essence, he sandwiched a lot of thoughtful and diverse evangelicals between two slices of the most odious segments of this religious movement. In doing so, I thought he played up stereotypes of evangelicalism that the rest of his article did so much to overturn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-31195405585997121412007-10-29T08:08:00.000-06:002007-10-29T08:08:00.000-06:00As stated previously, I think obituaries of the Re...As stated previously, I think obituaries of the Religious Right are premature (and probably partly reflect the desires of writers who are hoping for such a demise). <BR/><BR/>I thought, however, Kirkpatrick's was a very rich article, and I found the comparison between evangelical abandonment of Jimmy Carter and the potential abandonment of the GOP thought-provoking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-66393799069228472012007-10-28T19:00:00.000-06:002007-10-28T19:00:00.000-06:00A new structure cannot be constructed on the site ...A new structure cannot be constructed on the site of a former structure until the first is destroyed.<BR/><BR/>Most Christian conservatives may not yet be ready to become "Liberals Like Christ", but they are taking the first step by discovering the fraud they have been worshiping in the form of G.O.P., which only looks like G O D to those unfamiliar with what Jesus actually taught.
