Evangelical does not guarantee conservative....why do so many FReepers insist on this?

Are any of ya'll Evangelicals, Charasmatic-Pentocostals, or Fundamentalists?

Plenty of moderate "open-minded" Evangelicals....her church has a clause in their mission statement about "no dogma where Christians opinions diverge"....no hard core Conservative church would have that.

I'm Southern Baptist which is considered evangelical and I would wager that half our congregation are less conservative than the average FReeper even. 75% less conservative than the average freeper 5 years ago

Uh, YEP! I have seen so many people change their minds just by this one fact.

You are right that "Evangelical does not guarantee conservative." However, people who join evangelical denominations after some sort-of conversion experience are very likely to be orthodox when it comes to religion and conservative when it comes to politics. Plus, GWB must have known how much heat he'd take for proposing Miers; why would he do it unless he thought Miers would chip away at abortion rights? I believe GWB believes that Miers will interpret the Constitution strictly, which would include challenging the specious notion of a "right to privacy".
