“Every couple years evangelicals realize they’ve been heading down the wrong path, and they find some intense way of correcting it. Then they figure they’ve done their part, and they fade out for another few years"

How true is that?

With the presidential election decided in favor of George W. Bush, millions of evangelical Christians have returned to a state of political inertia, experts say.

Criminies! It's only been five weeks since the election! What should they be doing!...walking precincts for the 2008 election? It's a bit early to be making such a conclusion.

Bad idea, very bad. Evil takes no holidays. We still have the ACLU, the NAACP, MoveOn.org, Michael Moore, Howeird Dean, Hitlary Clinton, and the rest of the viper's nest, out there scheming and sniping and planning their lies and subversion, just waiting to foist it upon us. Take a breather, people, not a vacation.

The article reflects my experiences with a particular mindset, or group of like-minded people. For some reason they seem to feel a conflict between their spiritual life and robust citizenship.

Frustrating.

It is satire a joke.

Not real.

Fake.

Faux.

As true as John Kerry's war record.

It seems as soon as they cast their votes, evangelicals stop paying attention to the issues. “I spoke to a prospective donor earlier today, someone who had pledged money during the campaign period but hadn’t sent in her check. Not only did she renege on her commitment, but when I mentioned Arlen Specter’s potential obstructionist tendencies, she had no idea who or what I was talking about. I swear, for people whose minds are supposed to be renewed, evangelicals can sure be awfully dim.”

Since the election, this claim is certainly not true for all of us as the Constitution Party continues to organize (candidates are engaging their base and considering bids for 2006 and 2008 races), and many conservatives (Republicans, Constitutionalists, and otherwise) are continuing to push for a rejection of Senator Specter's bid for the Judiciary Committee chairmanship.

Please join us in this effort.
