I find the "in your face, 'Repent And Be Saved!'" types few and far between, and more amusing than annoying. I do understand why many people are bothered by them, I just don't happen to be one who is annoyed by this sort of thing.

When I referred to the "command economy zealots", I was specifically talking about political activists who advocate for socialist economic policies. They are far more numerous than religious evangelicals and they are more "in your face" and screaming at people about the moral obligation to legislate "progressive" tax policies and more "generous" welfare and entitlement programs. When their faith based Marxist beliefs are enacted into law, then it affects me far more than some door to door preacher could ever hope to.

They, of course, have a constitutional right to advocate for these ideas, but many of them become vitriolic with hate when anyone suggests that their ideas might be unwise or less than practical. The Democratic Party holds many of these zealots and Ted Kennedy is a perfect example of one.

In the political arena, too often the evangelicals join and bolster the "command economy zealots" in the pursuit of their agenda. Many were all too happy to see the USSC decide in favor of the Bush administration in upholding Wickard v Filburn and the New Deal Commerce Clause.
