As a Christian, I'm uneasy with some of the characterizations I'm seeing post-election.
I am not at war with secular Americans. Nor do I think Christians are the only Americans who try to live by "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". I flinch when I see the map of Canada and assorted Blue States divided and then the rest of the U.S. called "Jesusland".
I am grateful beyond words that President Bush was re-elected, and have been celebrating in various ways since last Tuesday. I hope those of us who worked for and voted for his re-election don't become as pompous and self-righteous as did so many who opposed us.
:') "some of the characterizations I'm seeing post-election" aren't really new. This has been going on as a mass movement at least since the middle of the 19th century. It is yet another shriek on the retreat, but they see it as digging in for the fight in 2006 and 2008. Fanatics like that have to be opposed at every turn -- letters to editors, op-ed pieces, and boycotts.
