danforth is the one who is dangerous, not you. as the supposedly most exclusive club on earth, the senate sure has a bunch of losers in it.

"If I'm reading it right, former US Senator John Danforth considers me and my faith part of what he calls "dangerous" and "divisive" in the Republican Party.

Danforth Criticizes Christian Sway in GOP http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/10/26/D8DG29585.html


That's too bad. Cuz, if you ask me, we need more people praying and taking responsibility for themselves and for this nation. Could it be that the division has come as a result of flip-flopping and not as a result of faith? I believe that both the current Republican and Democratic parties could use a strong dose of conviction, fortitude and, yes, even faith.

But, that's just one woman's perspective on this particular issue of the day... "

Good article...and how right on the mark you are!

Nice post. It is a shame that 'Republicans' are attacking Christian conservatives. If Reagan had not brought in the Christian conservatives into the party, it would still be the minority party.

God always comes first. Then being an American. Then being a conservative. Finally being a Republican. Unfortunately, I think a lot of FReepers have worked their way around this by equating President Bush to Godhood.

"Nothing is more dangerous than religion in politics and government when it becomes divisive," he said. "I'll give you examples: Iraq. Northern Ireland. Palestine."

You don't need religion to be divisive: the most secular political movements of the past few centuries were highly divided and spilled a lot of blood to get their party into power. The reds vs. the whites in Russia, The French Revolution had so many factions its hard to recall. Danforth apparently deserves to have lost his seat in the senate.

As long as Christians have the courage of their convictions; recognize the enemy as the secular left; avoid infighting until we've won the other battles and listen rather than dismiss legitimate criticism, then we will prevail. If God is for us, who can be against us?

Deus vult.

Danforth has imbibed the ECUSA kool-aid. He has no allegiance save to his class and cast including all those other country club republican blue bloods who will go down with the ECUSA rather than lift a finger to save their own souls.
