Does it appear to anyone else that Jim Wallis is not actually religious at all but rather just puts on a religious guise for the political purpose of opposing religion in public life?
A lefty it would seem -- phony Christian probably.
He's an awful man. He was hired on by the dems to give them some credibility in the area of religion and to help them "talk the talk." He's so National Council of Churches. He was not going over well on the talk shows, so I see he has moved on to other venues.
Unlike Mr. Wallis' favorites, the fanatics in AlQaida, no member of the so-called "religious right" has bombed a building full of innocent civilians in a coons age.
>>Jim Wallis is editor and founder of the liberal evangelical magazine Sojourners, the author of The Soul of Politics, and the head of "Call to Renewal," a faith-based anti-poverty organization.<<

>>Yes, there is, according to Jim Wallis, editor of the leftish religious magazine Sojourners, whose new book, God’s Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn’t Get It, argues that Democrats, if they ever want to win an election, must learn how to talk about moral values, indeed, to talk the language of moral values, in a way that remains true to the party’s principles<<

What is wrong with the religious right. Nothing. I can't understand why they should be feared?
He sounds like a hippie.
Reminds me of the so-called "Crunchy Conservatives" I read about here not too many weeks ago. And many Freepers were extolling the virtues of such nonsense.
I make it a personal rule to always approach cautiously those "Christians" who proclaim the dangers of Christianity. Sounds like a wolf in sheep's clothing to me.
Mr. Wallis sounds most interested in producing wealthy and healthy citizens of hell.
This idiot was here in Columbus, Ohio a week ago trying to support the leftist state candidates for Governor and called our conservative Republican candidate Ken Blackwell a "religious rightist" determined to screw over "the oppressed."
Big Ping!! This idiot was going after Blackwell last week at the Riffe Center.
Jim Wallis is a leftist Liberation Theologian who wants a Socialist Theocracy.
He's a zealot for the Christian liberals. They have liberals and conservatives just like we do in politics. He's been around for a long time. I believe he graduated from Trinity Seminary in suburban Chicago and I don't think he has ever pastored a church but has worked for liberal social justice stuff.The predecesor to Sojourners was birthed when he as in Chicago. The left will use him because he is right in the fact that they do not how to discuss moral issues. But if he has his way he will see that they learn well.Ann Coulter's new book that's posted elsewhere on here may be of help.
You remember that famous footage of krinton laughing, then crying at the Ron Brown funeral when he spotted the cameras? Well, he was walking and yukking it up with Tony Campollo who is another leftist, social liberation "evangelical" whose sole function is to give RAT's religious cover. Wallis is another apostle of this apostate cult.
Christian my ass.
And he's not doing very well over here so you get to put up with him for a while. Sorry. :-)
Phoop on this dweeb!
Basically Jim Wallis is the antithesis of South Park conservatives or Ayn Rand objectivists. I can respect that he opposes abortions and wants to bar legalization of gay marriage, but everything else he promotes are standard Bob Brown stuff.
You may ask what the Freeper Oztrich Boy believes. Flip his beliefs around issue by issue and you will get a picture of this Wallis guy's stance.
Ping!
