Evangelical Left potentates are now rallying to Obama's nomination of pro-abortion rights Governor Kathleen Sebelius as Health and Human Services Secretary. Describing themselves as "top Christian leaders" in their news release, they affirmed Sebelius as part of their ongoing dedication to "finding common ground solutions to reduce the number of abortions in America."

What a modest and humble way to describe themselves. I am a Christian and they most certainly do not speak for me. With "evangelicals" like this, who needs mainline Protestants?
Just propaganda. Just like “I’m a life long Republican and I’m voting for Obama because...”; “I’m a life-long conservative and I’m voting for Obama because...”; “I’m a life long Christian and I’m voting for Obama because...”.
I never buy it. They’re just messing with you.
LOL. The “Religious Left.” Is that like the atheist Christian?
The only problem is that Sebelius believes George Tiller-the-Killer represents the middle ground.
top Christian leaders= Unitarians
She and Tiller finance the same kind of bogus pro-Sebelius ‘group’ here: Kansans for a Traditional Republican Majority. Priority: electing Democrats.
There is no such thing as an evangelical left: thats an oxymoron!
Jer 5:30-31, “A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love [to have it] so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?”
“Top Christian leaders” who support infanticide. I must have skipped that part of the Bible. Are these the same ones who favor gay pastors and believe there are “many paths to God?”
Probably. Also, their arrogance when calling themselves “top Christian leaders.” True Christian leaders show humility in describing themselves IMHO.
'Describing themselves as "top Christian leaders" in their news release'
Famous in their own minds.
Looking at the article:
The evangelical enthusiasts for Sebelius include Florida megachurch pastor and Global Warming alarmist Joel Hunter, Christian ethicist and anti-torture activist David Gushee, Emerging Church leader Brian McLaren, Fuller Seminary functional pacifist and "just peace" advocate Glen Stassen, Evangelicals for Social Action chief Ron Sider, and Episcopal priest and gay rights proponent Randall Balmer, who tenuously clings to an evangelical identification based more on his past than his present.
I recognize only Brian McLaren and Ron Sider. Recognize them. Doesn't mean I heed anything they say.
McLaren is the chief guru of the "emergent church" movement, which is largely comprised of self-professed "post-modern" evangelicals who incline left politically. Balmer is an academic who has produced PBS documentaries about evangelicals.
Who pays for this stuff, I wonder. "No visible means of support".
