Holy bejeebus, was this written by a 12 year old? There's no way these are the composition skills of fully functioning adult.

And once more we see extremist kook Christians hijacking the whole world of "peoples of faith". Most Christians do not have a Biblical worldview.

He's calling Obama a secularist? Someone's reading from a very, very old playbook.

"Faith and Freedom Network is committed to preserving traditional Judeo-Christian values in America's public life." And by preserving, they mean implementing.

So, then, why did more people in Eastern Washington vote for Sen Obama than voted for any - in fact all - of the GOP candidates?

Maybe we should stop listening to the so-called "Christian" Right.

And by Biblical worldview, they mean turn of the previous millenium worldview. I'm surprised that using the internets isn't considered a sin.

Randall also implies that there is something unusual in a Governor endorsing a candidate in their parties primary "before her party even chooses their nominee". Nevermind that endorsing someone in a primary after the nominee is chosen is pointless or that as of Feb 4, 29 of 50 Governors had already endorsed a candidate in their parties primary (before either party had even chosen a nominee"

But hey, cut Gary a break, he wanted to write about something, and he didn't want to bring up either the state GOP's calling the race without counting all the votes, or the fact that over 200K Dems particpated in the caucuses compared to only 14K GOPers. When in doubt attack secularists seems to be the operative phrase.

Ideas = Independant Thought
Faith = What your particular Church tells you to think

If McCain doesn't pick Huckabee, which seems like it won't happen since he needs to pick up the independents in purple states, then expect to see a resurgance from groups like the American Heritage Party.
