While “separation of church and state” seems to be a token catch phrase amongst we Americans the depressing fact is that campaigns have to factor in those who vote with what ever religion, be it self-righteous or not, they choose. Honestly it carries an oxymoronic tone like “Jews for Jesus” to me. Even more interesting is the truth amongst the Protestants, Fundamentalists, Puritanical Christians & etc. is that they are all spin-offs of the Catholic Church who are the masters of creating a governed religion completely maintained by instilling fear in their flock.

Anything sound remotely familiar?

The Religious Right is a socially conservative political movement, some of whose leaders are ministers. Evangelicals are a diverse segment of Christians who are typically theologically conservative. These are overlapping groups, but they are far from the same thing.

An increasing number of moderate Evangelicals have been coming to the forefront in recent years–two of the better known ones are Rick Warren and Jim Wallis. They have helped to significantly broaden the agenda that Evangelicals are interested in when engaged in politics these days. Robert needs to broaden his education.

Many Democrats are realizing that previous candidates for national office in their party made significant mistakes by writting off the Evangelicals and the Catholics. Clinton and Obama are both working to reverse that stupid approach.

Please…stay with the republicans! I dont want your hatred in my party.
