A Religious Protest Largely From the Left

WASHINGTON/POLITICS

COMMENTARY
Liberals love to have it both ways.

Check the piece linked below about conservative Christians choosing to opt out of a joining a group named, 'Call to Renewal,' to protest against budget cuts to public programs. It's understandable that conservative Christians say no to liberal protests; they would much rather be doing something from within their own community to address social problems than to simply complain. Keep in mind that far left liberal groups have targeted Christian principled programs from the Boy Scouts, to federal aid supporting churches involved in Katrina relief (when no other aid infrastructure existed in their areas). Also keep in mind that for the most part, churches are better equipped to handle the poor and homeless on the front lines.

It takes a lot of nerve to whine up the fact that conservative Christians won't dig in and get behind liberal programs when all liberals can do is continually dog conservative Christian dogma.

NEWSLINE
