I guess he should stay out of politics and let Ted Kennedy run things.

“I have long held the opinion that “the Christian right,” as it is called, should stay out of politics. “

And leave our nation to the unchristian and antichrsitian right?

The Christian right was present and active from 1776 to 1789 (and before and after), and should be active today. Most American in the Colonies/States in those years were, in fact, Christian right. . . invloved in politics. The people who founded this nation and the people who were the strongest movers for the Bill of Rights were Christian right, and people who were deeply sympathetic with them.

The Christian right is in this war, and I’m a member of that segment. I’m a Christian of like biblicist convictions to the Virginia Baptists who had the ear of Jefferson and Madison in pushing for the Bill of Rights. The leader of those Virginians was a fellow named John Leland. It is documented. It is part of our American history and heritage.
