I Am A Conservative Christian, And The Religious Right Scares Me, Too

Chuck Baldwin ^ | 12/15

[sinkspur]

Baldwin doesn't reveal that he was the VP candidate on the Constitution Party ticket.

IOW, he's pissed that his ticket got less than 250,000 votes out of 125 million cast.

Baldwin's been a bit of an oddity for a very long time.

"I don't remember anyone saying people voted "Christian" when they elected the outspoken Christian candidate, Jimmy Carter, President. Yet, Carter, in his personal life, demonstrated as much, if not more, Christianity than does George W. Bush. If you recall, Carter even taught Sunday School in a Southern Baptist Church while President."

O yeah, a "conservative" who praises Jimmy Carter-Castro.

[WalterSkinner]

The Reconstructionists notwithstanding, the Religious Right still has the best answer for American culture and values.

Bringing up a self-righteous bitter little man like James Earl Carter does not cause one to want to continue reading the piece.

A Westie! I have raised 12 of them! Yes they are very "terrier-fying."

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

Carter aligns himself with anti-God causes. It's great that he builds houses but I am more concerned with children not being murdered under the guise of choice. How does this guy even know what Bush does and doesn't do (in terms of Christ like deeds). You aren't suppose to advertise your good works!!

One wonders if Chuck is hoping this will increase church membership.

[ActionNewsBill]

Your going to catch a lot of flack on this one, but I agree with most of the article. - good post.

What's not to like about this article?

Once again, Chuck hits the nail on the head.

Unfortunately, most people here will just see the name Chuck Baldwin and post some knee-jerk reactions without even reading the article.

[PGalt]

Up Chuck! (Where's the barf alert?)

[Jorge]

Yet, Carter, in his personal life, demonstrated as much, if not more, Christianity than does George W. Bush. If you recall, Carter even taught Sunday School in a Southern Baptist Church while President.

ROFL! Talk about shallow and phoney.

This paragraph alone shows me the author could care less about genuine Christian convictions in a leader.

Jimmy Carter has praised nearly every dictator and anti-Christian government on earth, while bashing every President who has opposed these evil forces.

This article is disingenous garbage.

[GarySpFc]

I've heard of Chuck Baldwin. I likewise am a conservative Christian with credentials, and I in no way support what he is saying about the conservative Christian movement worshiping Bush. I suspect Chuck Baldwin has backslidden, because his statements are completely without merit.

[alancarp]

Bingo! He needs to explain - in detail - why he believes that such things are anti-Christian. As a REAL conservative Christian, I assert that he cannot.

When President Jimmbo was teaching sunday school do you suppose he skipped over the part of the Sodomites. I wonder how he explained his support of abortion to the little children sitting in the pews?!!
Bull Shit!

I almost hate to say this, but as long as you insist on tying "Christian" and "religious right" to conservatism, you will continue to be cannon fodder for the left.

We see what the Michael Moore[on] types and the "Screamin Deanies" have done to "take over" the leftish liberal democratic party. I strongly recommend referring to conservatives as just that.. conservatives. Put yourself above the divisive fray of radical right wing labels.

Conservatives by a vast majority have the morals and principles to become a cohesive, amorphous unit. It is the only way to make and maintain ground against the insidious, amoral, valueless left. Don't waste your time throwing your allies under the bus - you may need them before you think.

JMNSHO.

[F.J. Mitchell]

And what emotion does the escapades of the sacreligious left stir within your fragile psyche?

[MamaB]

I have never heard of him before. Guess I need to do more reading.

[DirtyHarryY2K]

Hey Chucky, All things being equal, which of the lesser of the two evils did you vote for?

I don't agree with Bush on every policy, and wouldn't agree with Kerry on ANY policy period!

[MisterRepublican]

Well, that explains alot! Thanks for the info.

[Lancey Howard]

So this guy is now aligned with the athiest left, I suppose?

Exactly WHO is Baldwin referring to when he mentions the "Religious Right"? Is he referring to a whole bunch of regular people or just a couple of guys who show up on TV from time to time? Is there an organization which calls itself the "Religious Right", or is Baldwin just indicting everybody who voted for Bush? WHO is he talking about??

This poorly written screed displays a whole lot of hand-wringing and paranoia but it is woefully short on specifics. Apparently Chuck has a problem with the Patriot Act. Okay. So he's mad at this "Religious Right" he keeps referring to for not jumping up and down and hollering about it? (I was waiting for him to mention the mythical "separation of church and state" - - that would have been a sure tipoff).

Baldwin just comes off here like he's mad that Dubya never invited him to the White House or something.

[Quix]

Have typically liked Chuck.

He's reducing a lot of complex stuff to simplicity. Not so sure it's so easily done.

But I know a number who agree with him.

There are plenty of things obscure and some outright hidden deliberately. Time will tell which side all of us were on at what points in our trek in terms of good vs evil.

[GrandEagle]

I think a lot of folks are just so glad not to have a garbage heap in the White House that they quit thinking about what is good for the nation, and are only concerned with winning.
