I oppose "compassionate conservatives" who think it's the job of the Government to "do the Lord's work" yet squeal like stuck piglets when that same Government threatens to curtail their freedoms and liberties.

These "compassionate Christians" are an extreme minority within the Christian right.

Do you agree with that statement Rabs?

When you derisively state "do the Lord's work" are you referring to Abortion and Anti-Gay Marriage initiatives?

Not only are the “compassionate conservatives” an extreme minority, the are usually not fundamentalist Christians, but what are members of what they call “mainstream churches” that are more or less using Christianity to justify their political beliefs.
