Frank has a link for almost every phrase/word in his rant. Something tells me he had a great time writing this....always had a way with words.

Obama is "evangelical?" Did it rub off on him when he hung out with Rick Warren or something?

Otherwise... what he said.

Jimmy Carter largely introduced it to the world.

But I've not seen anything before that suggested Obama's brand of Christianity is "evangelical." Though apparently those who are interested in speculating on his views seem to think he's moved in that direction...

to the link..I'm not interested in that.

That was just the one place I saw that clearly used the frame of "evangelical Christianity" in discussing Obama's religion.

In the end, I just care about what he does as president.

acknowledge, that we will, building on this affirmation of "who we are" and "whose we are," call men, women, boys and girls to the liberating love of Jesus Christ, inviting them to become a part of the church universal, responding to Jesus’ command that we go into all the world and make disciples!

Thanks for the article, will share it.

At one time, the Christian Evangelical church argued that life began, as it says in the bible, with a babies' first breath. In fact there is much more evidence in the bible for the "breath of life" or the first breath to be the moment when the soul goes into the body than there is in the bible for the moment of conception to be the beginning of life.

I think Evangelicals need to go back and read the real bible, and not the RepubliCON bible.

At churches I went to long ago, Israel was more of an ideal and not a geographic area, wars were for the government to decide, and secular authority was not questioned. Religion was private and in the family, not at school or work.

Has Jesus say all must tell the good news to the world

had a clue!

Thank you, Iwillnevergiveup

who is apparently going to vote for Willard.

Otherwise, great rant.

associated with attending church. Some very disturbed, frustrated, mean individuals hide behind going to church. They talk it but can't walk it.

This has led many to defend Capitalism but they still claim greed is a sin.

It's caused a major conflict in their thinking.

Keep in mind that these people didn't vote. They were more interested in doing good works and helping the poor and the downtrodden and lifting people's spirits. Being gentle and kind and full of mercy and charity. They were all about spiritual enlightenment and being seen as angels among us.

Then the Republicans infiltrated their churches.

Now they have a long list of things they hate.

Because he is white.

... the other guy is black. Otherwise they'd have nothing to do with Rmoney.

"Auto Industry Attack ad from Romney campaign hits new low. GM calls latest Romney auto ad ‘Politics at its cynical worst” Plus: Romney Has Refused to Speak to the Press for the Last 3 Weeks about his views on FEMA OR to be accountable for his advertising (11/2/12)

**Article Below About Romney’s 3 Week Refusal to Talk to the Press:

Mitt to press: Talk to the hand: Here in the waning days of the campaign, Mitt Romney has a message for the press: Talk to the hand.

“For those keeping score at home, today marks three weeks since Mitt Romney last took a question from a reporter,” Garrett Haake of NBC News tweeted Wednesday.

Romney’s silence flared as an issue a day earlier when, at a campaign-rally-turned-Sandy-relief-event, he refused to answer reporters’ questions about his stance on FEMA. At a Republican primary debate, he’d appeared to suggest scrapping the federal agency. (His campaign released a statement Wednesday, almost two days after Sandy struck, saying he’d keep FEMA after all.)

But that’s hardly the only issue that Mitt has stayed mum on lately. As Ed Schultz noted Wednesday night, Romney has refused to give specifics on his budget and tax plan; declined to say where he stands on nuclear talks with Iran; avoided commenting on Indiana GOP Senate hopeful Richard Murdoch’s controversial rape remarks; and dodged taking a stance on the Lilly Ledbetter Act helping women fight pay discrimination. Romney even has refused to go on Nickelodeon to talk to schoolkids.
“
It comes down to who do you trust,” Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who chairs the DNC, told Ed.
Romney has “either been blatantly dishonest,” she said, “or refused to answer where he is. And President Obama has consistently been there.”

"With the Senate having now passed the final reconciliation changes to the health care reform bill, the Republicans from their 'Tea Party' wing to their high priest of hallucinatory fantasy, Glen Beck, are about to pay a historic price for the biggest miscalculation in American political history since Charles Lindbergh sided with the Germans."
