You know, I have a problem with the labeling of christians who actively lead their churches as “evangelicals”.

We are not traveling revival tents selling snake oil. But the left media brands believers and moral leadership as some kind of derogatory fringe movement.

Without leadership motivating the troops, no cause will succeed. Even the leftists need their radical left wing motivators pointing the accusatory finger at conservative Christians. We stand in their way of immoral interpretations of the laws. To the left, finger pointing is a violation of their comfort zone and must be met with extreme resistance.

So it also should be for the Conservatives. No battle will ever be won without some black eyes and sucker punches.
Walking away and turning the other cheek solves nothing.

Nowhere is the truth of your reply better demonstrated than in the treatment of Sarah Palin by the leftist national media. Their reaction was so vitriolic, so visceral, so deranged that a clinician would have a field day analyzing it. But you just have. The left compulsively hated Sarah Palin because of who she was. She had committed an unpardonable sin, she had knowingly carried to full-term a Down's syndrome baby!

She "pointed her finger" at them without uttering a single reproach. The transparent righteousness of the woman made her a living indictment of their hypocrisy. They knew instinctively that she must be destroyed or they would be seen for what they were.

Herman Melville also saw this when he wrote Billy Budd.
