All very true. If I remember correctly, though, Carter and Clinton did well among Evangelical voters.
Historically, the kind of elections we've seen in this century are atypical, though by now polarizing elections of this sort are becoming the norm.

And which 3rd party candidate did you vote for, BTW?
To: dirtboy
I can't agree with the basic premise....
When traditionally African American churches, groups and entire 'Christian' denominations vote wholesale...
....For the person and party who supports taxpayer-funded abortion and same-sex marriage....
There's a significant disconnect here somewhere...
My humble only...

I don’t get the whole Evangelical thing as opposed to “born again”.
You have to be born again to be a Christian and since all Christians are called to witness to others and evangelize them so they will convert.
Simple explanation and maybe in artful.

I apologize. I'll refrain from having an opinion until I rack up some time.

Im with Nana! Giving a damn about what happens to America is irrelevant. God Himself has set a course for these last days and voting for a person who wont openly oppose same sex marriage or abortion or stand strongly for biblical principles will not improve ones standing with Him. We are on our own with God in these last days and nothing we do will change the course America has been put on now.

It's one thing to "have an opinion". It's another to use it as insult.
So do you mean you will reel in the insults until you 'rack up some time'?. The /sarc tag indicates that would be a "no".
Uh, what was/were your previous/other FR identities?

Hey, I give a damn about America, but and I will fight tooth and nail at the level I am on, but CB is correct, we are on a collision course with the plan of God and our opinion is not going to change that.

"It's one thing to "have an opinion". It's another to use it as insult."
A statement of fact, actually. Furthermore, I suggest you vacate freerepublic, nay, the entire internet if 'insults'/disagreements are so terribly damaging for you to observe.
"Chapter/verse please"
Its not in the bible (oh wait, its actually in the book of Hezekiah). Neither is 'ashes to ashes, dust to dust.' But it still makes sense.

Knock it off with the abuse reports newbie.
To: Admin Moderator
On my own comment...I neglected to put book of Hezekiah is quotes, potentially giving the impression I actuallt think there is a book of hezekiah.
But you're the boss. I have a feeling I'll regret further involvement on this thread, as such I'll take my leave.
To: Wyrd bið ful aræd
It's not that insults are "terribly damaging to me to observe". It's more like personal attacks, though fairly frequent, are still frowned upon on this forum. You've ignited a little flame war. Happy now? Didn't you read the info highlighted in red under your posts? Or are folks here just for you to insult at your leisure? What makes you think anybody is interested in your [negative] opinion of their persons? Are you important, or something?
In the book of Hezekiah? Let's see it.
What are your other freep handles again?
