RE: US evangelicals warn Republicans

Steve will say that I rode my bike off into the weeds on that theory, but it's still worth a thought.

You made several mistakes. First, you assumed that the BBC has anything intelligent to say about American evangelicals. Second, you assumed that evangelicals as a group support the war. I'm quite sure I spend a lot more time among evangelicals than you do and I can tell you very many of them I know do not support the war. Third, you resorted to your usual tactic of hyperbolizing everything with terms like "crusading against homosexuals" and "criminalizing abortion." Evangelicals want the government to stop forcing homosexuality on us as a "lifestyle choice" and they want the government to stop the slaughter of millions of unborn children.

Evangelicals supported Bush because they were pretty sure that one or more Supreme Court appointments would occur during his terms. They also believed him when he said he would start backing the government out of its enforced charity business. And if they supported him in the war effort it was because they believed him when he said Saddam was a threat. The insulting insinuation that evangelicals turned a blind eye to the war so Bush would help them persecute homosexuals is juvenile patter from the moonbat fringe of the extreme left. You might want to think about that before you associate yourself with it.
