The Sneaky Ways the Christian Right Has Re-Entrenched Itself In Our Politics

May 2, 2011

In late February, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives John Boehner (R-Ohio) flew to Nashville to address a gathering of the National Religious Broadcasters, a group of mostly far-right television and radio personalities. While there, he took some time to chat with a reporter for TV preacher Pat Robertson’s “700 Club.”

Boehner assured Robertson’s viewers that their concerns are his concerns -- and he urged them to be patient. Reflecting on a recent House vote to cut off tax funding of family planning and health programs for women, Boehner asserted, “I met with a lot of religious leaders earlier today to talk about the strategy, and I think it’s important that we understand that what we want to do here is win the war, not just win a battle. And there will be an opportunity some time in order to win the big war, and we’re looking for that opportunity.”

I have one thing to say about this: We (progressives) are going to win the social-issues war. Of that there is no doubt:

Whether its abolition, womens right to vote, civil rights or any other thing. When will win the gay marriage batter as well as the health care battle and anything else the repukes through at us.

we do know what can happen to some people in war
