and the left is not happy! I have not found this anywhere but at the rat site.

Slam em Jerry and tell it like it is. The rats are so out of touch we could over run em in a second.

First thing I'd do in a conservative revolution would be to ride Jerry Falwell out of town on a rail.

You couldn't hold a candle to the man. What is it about the above message that you find so objectionable? It's high time conservatives stop apologizing for their beliefs.

I've never been to worried about the ones who believe in God,I do worry about the ones that don't.

Religious leaders should stick to the pulpit and stay out of politics. It's one thing to preach about issues; it's quite another to "lead the cause." A consersative revolution is a good idea--but not with a conservative Rev. Jesse Jackson type at it's helm.

Although I agree with virtually everything the good Reverend has to say, I fear that he can be a political liability. The demof@gs would spin his words like they did with the Pat Buchannan "Holy War" speech from the 92 GOP convention.

[IronJack]

If there is to be a conservative revolution, the Rev. Jerry Falwell will not be the one to lead it.

Good to see who our real front line troops are, on every front.

Excellent article. Instead of Republicans "moderating" to accomadate leftists, Dems should be "moderating" their extremist beliefs to accomadate the mainstream. They should be up to their necks in "moderate" candidates that don't want to be associated with the left. They need a bunch of Zell Millers to "moderate" their extremism.

I don't see anything counterproductive in calling the Bush administration and other republicans on their strategy to support pro-abortion liberal candidates. If I could use my name recognition to do the same, I would. This idea that ministers should stay behind church doors is poppycock and indicative of the mindset that religion and the real world are incompatible. For pagans and cultists, I could understand such a belief, but Christians know better.

"Conservative revolution" is an oxymoron.

Conservative counterrevolution, on the other hand....

Slam em Jerry and tell it like it is.

I find it amusing. Simon said he going into the primary .. He said he was going to run for nomination for Governor of California no matter what the national party or George Bush wanted done. Simon said he did not need to bend to either Bush or the National parties will. Gray Davis spent 10 million buckd getting Simon the nomination. What Davis did is called buying yourself a patsie..

Within hours of Davis winning the Republican nomination for Simon, Simon starts screaming to Bush and the National Republicans for help. He is screaming for help from the same people he told to shove it.. just a few months ago.

Bush incase no one has noticed is President of the United States. There is a very simple rule.. It has been around since Geo Washington was President. If one does what the President wants, the President helps you. If one goes against what the President wants, the President doesn't help you.

Even a very SIMPLE Simon would have figured that out.

Apparently, some SIMON's are SIMPLER than others!

Jerry Falwell has just as much right to participate in the political conversation as you or I do. Being a Christian does not mean you are no longer human, or no longer American, or no longer a taxpayer, etc...

[Barnacle]

Bump.

Is this guy going to try taking credit for impending California type upsets?

[RAT Patrol]

The man must be doing something right because the left is obsessed with hating him. His only crime is to be very vocally pro-life and anti-gay agenda. Which one of those do you have a problem with. (oh yes, and he is human. So what?)

Religious leaders should stick to the pulpit and stay out of politics.

Boy, am I glad that people didn't think like you do in the 1700's. If it were NOT for the preaching of political injustice from the pulpit, we would still be a colony of England today. There is NOTHING wrong with pastors airing their political views - be they Left or Right. Nobody is forcing the congregations to listen.

:/ ttt

[RAT Patrol]

I like anyone the left demonizes. The man has every right to participate in politics, preacher or not.
