David Brody over at Christian Broadcasting Network has noticed that Hillary Clinton has something to say about faith. “As I continue to do research about her,” he says, “I find that she talks about her faith more than I originally thought.” He then quotes her as saying the following: People often ask me whether I’m a praying person, and I say I was lucky enough to be raised in a praying family, and learned to say my prayers as...

Stop sending money to these charlatans. Stop listening to their ranting and solicitations. Condemn them from the pulpits. Clean up the church before God spews it out of His mouth (if He hasn't already). Reject any politician who claims to be a born-again Christian while reaching for power and glory. The two are inconsistent. (more…) Read more

These right-wing “non-profit groups” just can’t help cheating on Christ and getting in bed with the Republican Party. The annual National Catholic Prayer Breakfast was held in Washington, DC, today, and given the roster of speakers, there didn’t seem to be even a pretense of non-partisanship. Catholics United has the scoop: The Prayer Breakfast’s entire board of directors has ties to Republican candidates, party apparatus, and affiliated organizations, and its partisan agenda is underscored by President George W....

It was a great day for the civil rights movement, as CBS decided to fire Imus. Finally, the people cut the purse strings of the casual hate-monger, and set an example of what is appropriate language for a major network. It is a big step, and yet it is only the first step in a journey of a thousand miles. (more…) Read more
Enter the "Ugly Born-Again American" (UBA2), swashbuckling, Bible-spouting "ditto head," whose fears and failures can be traced directly to liberals and whose God has been reduced to a few select Scripture verses, absent the Sermon on the Mount. (more…) Read more
Shocking: giant agribusiness is more concerned with lining its pockets than with saving lives. This time, AIDS patients in Africa are going hungry because the U.S. says they have to buy expensive gruel from heavily subsidized American companies. Never mind the fact that African farmers have plenty of food to spare; what U.S. agribusiness wants, U.S. agribusiness gets. From the New York Times: Traveling to school in wobbly dugout canoes, Munalula Muhau and her three cousins, 7- and 8-year-olds whose... Read more
I watched with great interest a video clip on Senator Barack Obama's website concerning reconciling faith with politics. I personally find this a particular conflict, as many here do, considering not only do I consider myself a Democrat but a Christian too. (more…) Read more

Does James Dobson really get to excommunicate people? Focus on the Family chief James Dobson has dismissed the potential candidacy of former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson because the guy supposedly isn’t Christian. “Everyone knows he’s conservative and has come out strongly for the things that the pro-family movement stands for,” Dobson said of Thompson. “[But] I don’t think he’s a Christian; at least that’s my impression,” Dobson added, saying that such an impression would make it difficult for Thompson...
