How come the Conservative Christians have given up on political politics on this page?

because they have no argument except for, "I'm right! I'm rich! Everything's fine!"

I've been trying to figure that out myself. I'm just glad there are more Conservatives on here than I first thought. Its sad that yahoo answers has been poisoned by those damn liberals.

Republicans are not evil; conservative Christians are. Maybe now some sanity will return to the GOP.

It's politically motivated as propaganda against Christianity. You'd be surprised how many things which they claim, are in reality not true.

Their new found love of Jesus is a political stunt and not a very good one. The Democrats have been bashing religious people for the past six years and now they want their votes.\n\nI seriously doubt there are too many Christians who believe in the liberals new faith.

nahh.\n\nNot all so-called Christians are close-minded jerks.  Some of us have brains and don't vote on party lines just cuz the Bishop tells us to . . .\n\nKeep the faith.  Keep using the brain God gave you.

Sad isn't it.  They aren't very serious about their Christianity are they?

It has to be the people who still support him!  You know the old adage "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all of the time".  Well, if some of the people still believe this man is a conservative and a Christian, there is just no cure for that stupidity!

I do. You have me tagged right at the nail. I would have been a Republican because I admire their tough stances on crime and their fiscal responsibility. However, the evangelicals have taken a hold of the GOP alienating many potential members who aren't pro-life or anti-gay. I'm a Democrat because of many reasons but I disagree with them on some things, especially with the liberals. I'm a Goldwater conservative at heart and would like to see many people embrace fiscal conservatism. I do believe in God but I abhor how the Republican party has used Christianity to get ahead in the political arena and the evangelicals meddling in politics it's simply wrong. I feel sometimes like I have no party.

You sure do know how to engender the wrath of the religious right in YA, dontcha, Planksheer? Need I tell you how much I respect and admire you for it? Keep up the good work, mate. Cheers!\n\nIn answer to your question, it is decidedly not just you. The so-called "faith-based initiatives" are a farce, criminally so. But isn't that what this vile bush administration is all about? They set about coming up with "clever" (and invariably disingenuous) names for their hateful little programs. This is SO karl rove (oh yeah, always lowercase for those I despise; call it a token of my disrespect, mr. president). To wit, "no child left behind" means precisely the opposite. Up is down and down is up. George Orwell (one of my heroes) must be doing somersaults in his grave. \n\n"Compassionate conservatism," remember that old chestnut? Sounds Madison Avenue slick, doesn't it? Doesn't mean a goddamned thing in practice but rove and company banked (correctly, as it turned out) on the very limited attention span of the American electorate. Pitiful. "I'm a uniter, not a divider." Cool. Trouble is I've never seen this country so divided. I suspect there was more cohesion at the height of the bloody Civil War! \n\nI could go on, but I won't. It's endless...\n\nFor the record, the separation of church and state is the primary reason this country even exists. Some people know NOTHING about history.

Everybody wants an evil to fight.\nConservatives are just illinformed, close-minded, and use the bible to justify their own biggoted opinions.

I'm sorry.The dirt on conservatives is so sick I dont know where to begin.

The answer is yes.  Evangelical Christianists are deeply effecting our politics.  It is detrimental to freedoms and liberty, but it is healthy in politics for them to participate.\n\nThose that disagree - and I'm one of them - need to do their part to counter them.

I think christian conservatives represent one group of people that are a total embarrassment to the human race.  Fortunately there are other more advanced groups within America that make up for their ignorance and bigotry.  The christian conservatives are fighting a losing battle because individual rights continue to be extended to previously persecuted groups.  While many cling to religion because they are not intellectually capable of doing their own independent analysis of life, humanity is evolving and realizing that religion is a human creation - one that has been created differently by each of the thousands of cultures ever to have existed.

I agree with you Tory.\n\nThis situation is getting nuts all over because of a handful of people.\n\nMy sister teaches at a CATHOLIC school. She had her class make Easter Cards for their parents with religious pix from old Christmas cards, etc. and had them hang them on the wall.\n\nThe principal had her TAKE THEM DOWN because they were 'religious'!!!  \nAnd there were non-Catholic kids in the school!!??\nHello?? What is wrong with THAT picture?\n\nMy opinion with the Atheists....\nthey want every 'God' related word removed from our history, buildings, etc.\n\nWhat they fail to realize is their belief of non-belief is also represented -\non government buildings....any blank spot or wall ...\nrepresents the Atheist.\non our currency....the white blank border.....\nrepresents the Atheist.\nWhen we are finished saying our "Pledge of Allegiance" under Our God and we are silent for the 30 seconds following...that is for the Atheist!!\n\nGet my drift?\n\nTheir non-belief \nis very much represented \nin our Government!!

I do, but it is hard to find in politics.  I do look for Christians, but just because they say they are Christians, it doesn't necessarily mean they are.  So I try to see if they ACT like Christians.  It is one thing to talk the talk, but they also have to walk the walk, publicly and privately.
