Isa 59:19

So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

[Ole Okie]

Hey Danforth:

In the immortal words of Neal Boortz:

Bite Me!

[F.J. Mitchell]

Republicans concerned that Danforth is to closely tied to the lunatic fringe of the democrat's extreme left.

"The Republican party needs this particular voice heard," said Log Cabin member Bill Jenkins, 45, of Kirkwood.

OK, we heard him. Now let's hear him shut up and crawl back under his rock.

The left is pulling out all the tricks in it's bag to pry the GOP away from the religious right. Is that because the leftists think they're serving a noble cause by trying to separate government from religion? Don't be silly, they know that if the religious right ever breaks with the GOP the Democrats will take all the marbles in the following election, and then neither the GOP nor the religious right will be able to derail their collectivist/humanist agenda.

Those of us on the religious right need the GOP, but the GOP needs us even more. We won't shrivel up and die if the GOP turns it's back on us, but the GOP will never gain enough "moderate" votes by turning against us to even come close to replacing the millions of votes it would lose by alienating us. I just wish that more Republicans in Congress and the administration understood that well enough that they wouldn't ever allow it to happen.

John Danforth has never been comfortable with the 'Religious Right'. I believe he's an Episcopal minister, and those folks just aren't that preachy about morality. They are more into 'Social Justice'.

[EverOnward]

If the Republicans feel they should distance themselves from the "religious right," I need to go shopping for a party I can support. BTW, does religious right mean someone who believes in God and the ten commandments, tries hard to maintain high morals and teach them to the children, works hard, is law abiding and wishes to be a good neighbor? Because that's what religiouis right people do that I know. It's a shame Republicans find that threatening.

[Reagan Man]

>>>>Retired Republican Sen. John Danforth expressed concern Thursday that his party is too closely aligned with the religious right.

Sounds like Danforth's long term and his short term memory are failing him. Without the religious right, AKA. religious conservatives, Reagan wouldn't have won election and reelection. Ditto for Bush43 in 2000 and 2004.

Every 2 or 3 years, this SAME type of article gets circulated by the MSM (which stands for "Marxist-Socialist Media," by the way). It basically reads as follows:
"CENTRIST REPUBLICAN X DECRIES THE INFLUENCE OF THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT ON HIS/HER PARTY"
The MSM has been publishing these boilerplate stories since Reagan got elected in 1980. EVERY single time, some R.I.N.O. says, "If this continues, the GOP will alienate most of America & become a shrinking party." Keep in mind they've been saying this since ***1980***, and since that fateful year the GOP has ***grown*** to the point where it's normal to speak of a dying DEMOCRAT party.

Read this post for a brief but informative list of the failures of John Danforth. Not surprised to see a wise person like the Goldstategop as the first to respond to this POS

"The purpose of American government, the purpose of our Constitution, is to hold together all kinds of diverse interests in one country," Danforth said.

That would be Article VIII, Holding Together Diverse Interests.

Many of us despised moderates (who voted Republican before the takeover) are also concerned that our great party is too closely aligned with the religious right.

[Jim Noble]

This observation by ECUSAn John Danforth is similar to Lutheran presider Mark Hanson's wish that an Ecumenical Council of the whole world should be convened to combat "biblical fundamentalism".

They both think that their perverted, anti-Christian, death-worshipping agendas are really, really popular, and that it's only those wascally Wepublicans and "fundamentalists" who are pulling the wool over people's eyes.

There's something happening here, but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?
