The title of this is very misleading.

The man is right on in several areas:

A. He's right, Christianity shouldn't be associated with only one party or the other. While I feel that the Republican party is the most consistent with the teachings I find in the Bible, they aren't always right, and besides, saving souls always needs to be the first priority.

B. He's 100% right about poverty, AIDS, homlessness, orphans and the like. In my view, the government intervention is in large part the unpaid dues of the church, which should be leading more on these issues. Of course, there is a reverse effect, in that some of the reason the church isn't leading on these things like they should is because of the government, but there can be no doubt that far too often the Church has not lived up to it's responsibility on these things. Faith based initiative? Fine, but we can't wait for it, we need to start on it now.

I didn't say he doesn't have some good ideas. But you cannot compromise with a rattlesnake to get your 'godly' ideas accomplished.
