That's right. The leftists and homosexuals have taken good words such as "progressive" and "gay" and co-opted them for their diabolical purposes. Conservatives are certainly for progress and homosexuals are anything but gay.
As for my church, the church of Christ, where each congregation is independent, it may very well be among the most politically Conservative. For instance, George Benson, onetime president of Harding University founded the "National Education Program" to combat communism and socialism and support free enterprise.
Anecdotally, I took trip through the South (where the church of Christ is strong) back in the 2008 election. I did not see a single Obama bumper sticker on any cars in the church parking lots I visited. It was not an exhaustive sample but did include congregations in Lubbock, Abilene, TX, Franklin, TN, Searcy, AR and Texarkana as well as the Dallas area.
I went to Harding betwen my Junior and Senior year in HS for a week of Citizenship Seminar. It was a great program. We all got a copy of the little red book of Mao to study. Roger Steinbeck the Dallas Cowboy quarterback was the big ticket speaker. It was alot of fun. Yes alot of Methodist chuch people do NOT know what their hiearchy believes and supports. Add Abortion and gun control to the list full list of lefy organizations. Also very left wing about Israel.
