Focus on the Family May Divorce Republican Party: News At 11:00
I understand the Focus on the Family is upset that a compromise was reached without a complete political coup in regards to Bush’s judicial nominations. They went as far as to threaten the mainstream Republican Party with abandonment. LOL. Does anyone else find this particularly funny? Is this not like the apple threatening the tree? If the Christian right is too far right for the republicans, who else do they have?
What are they going to do? Form their own party? They could call themselves “The Pharisees”. That hasn’t been used in a while. I guess when you get right down to it, trying to force the works of God into the works of Caesar does get a bit dicey. I suppose that is why Jesus warned against it. (Matt 22:21)
