Can anyone tell me why 32% of born-again Christians in the survey think the country is headed in the right direction? It doesn’t make much sense to me.

Easy.

They’re Democrats and Huckster Gantry supporters.

Because they have no idea who it is they are supposed to believe in.

Lots of people claim to be Christians, who actually are not.

Maybe they think it’s going in the right direction with respect to the marxist president faltering...?

Because to many of them, race or orientation trumps religion

“Can anyone tell me why 32% of born-again Christians in the survey think the country is headed in the right direction? It doesn’t make much sense to me.”

They must be Dominionist, Preterists, who firmly believe (despite all biblical and observational evidence to the contrary) that they are gradually conquering the world for Christ and will hand the keys, to the grateful Savior, when He returns. To them, Obama must be a closet Dominionist, who is secretly seizing all this power, to hand it over to them :-)

Either that, or they were “born again” by parroting some prayer they didn’t understand, after the rock concert, laser show “worship”, comedy skit and “sermon” about how to improve your sex life, at some Warrenist, Purpose Driven â„¢ “church”, and as a result, have no idea that they should be concerned about the expansion of abortion, sodomite ‘marriage’, sexual immorality, covetousness and lawlessness in our nation.

Christ accepts all kinds, including people who are not very astute about politics and economics.

And Obama pretended to be "open minded" about abortion etc enough to fool those who were not astute.

If you believe that God is in control and that whatever happens, it is God's plan in action, then no matter what direction it goes, it is the right direction.

It’s the same polling that routinely says that 10-20% doesn’t have an opinion. Bull!! That’s just a way to knock down the strong negative that he’s obviously showing. “He’s not moving us in the right direction” is a lot more palatable among the remaining Kool-Aid drinkers than “he’s being abandoned in droves”.

Most are under 30. The young folks are completely fooled by Barry and his band of socialists. Too much liberal training in the schools. Eventually they will see the light.

Remember that the difference in the election was just over 5 million votes. That can be overcome with truth.

Well, this would be tortured logic, but my tagline would explain one such line of reasoning. (Sometimes the right direction for the people of a country is to beat some sense into them for their follies...)

Must be a tortured and twisted definition of born-again Christian. I do not know a single Born Again that voted for, let alone supports this guy!
