I am not a fundamentalist or evangelical Christian and I am not "born again" but I have a great deal of respect for those who are. These are people with values and principles which have helped make America great and who have provided a moral compass for America during the darkest times. Whether the topic is abortion, homosexuality, law and order, the military or the flag, Christian conservatives have taken a stand and tell it straight.

On Wednesday a former Republican Senator, Father John Danforth, a Priest of the Episcopal Church, has once again come out to decry the influence of Christian conservatives within the Republican Party. Oddly, in his new attack which he launched at the Clinton Library, he once again succeeded in outing one man of faith who is intolerant of other faiths and who is rigidly closed minded, in fact, he sees that man each time he looks in the mirror.

To Father Danforth I would say this, I understand that you don't believe Christian conservatives should live their faith beyond the confines of the church, but I am glad you represent a minority opinion. I have heard what you have to say, now explain it to God.
