Religious Right Weighs Next Political Steps

Source: NPR

During his election night victory speech, President-elect Barack Obama reached out to those who supported his rival — including evangelicals — who had voted overwhelmingly for John McCain.

"I may not have won your vote," Obama said, "but I hear your voices, need your help, and I will be your president, too."

But the promise meant little to leaders of the religious right, who are undaunted by the Democrats' gains in the White House and in Congress.

"I knew, moments after the election results came in, that I was now part of the resistance movement," says Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America.

Wright believes Obama is a threat to Christian beliefs, even though the president-elect is a confessed Christian. She argues the election was not a rejection of conservative values. After all, three states — California, Arizona and Florida — passed referenda banning same-sex marriage. So the day after the election, Wright sent out this telemarketing ad to thousands of people across the country.

"We face a president and Congress more hostile to unborn children, to marriage, to religious freedom, to free speech, to protecting our country than has ever existed in our history," she said in the three-minute script. "And never before is there such a need for an organization like CWA."

Wright says that within hours members began calling in asking what they could do.

as close as they are, how about we give'em a push!

:evilgrin:

Hates gays and persecutes them (or kills them).

Hates liberals. Ditto result.


Etc etc etc.

Yep, they'd feel right at home in a place such as Iran.

Reach out again to Rick Warren and others and to hell with the LaHaye's and Concerned Women for the GOP.

Go after the "new evangelical" that is more distant from the old guard of Dobson,Robertsonn,TBN,Lahaye's, and others.

marginalized.

Until the moderates reclaim the leadership of their party the mouth-breathers are going to continue to demand not just a seat at the table but the head itself. Palin has made them believe that she should have been top of the ticket and not McLame. Palin has set the bar for them and only foaming at the mouth fundy cross-humpers need apply.

This quandary of theirs has me feeling quite positive about a Democratic decade of dominance.

would just fuck off!! They're all nothing but a bunch of hypocrites!

Or, maybe this is your idea of "Wag the God"??!!

"The wackos must set up my kingdom in Albania".

Now, I must go and spread the message of the miracle of the talking muffin face to the Palinites, so they can go to their new home in the promised land of Albania.

;)

:hi:

those sanctimonious pieces of shit have been resisting progress for DECADES

TCE party, The Crazy Evangelicals party.

the right and Christian doesn't go together. These people are like the Spanish Inquisition. Jesus would turn in his 'heavenly grave' if he had one.

The Christofascists are afraid of the Islamofascists.
