Some good thoughts about the "religious right"

Joe Carter over at the Evangelical Outpost has some good thoughts on what it means to be on the "religious right". My favorite is this one:

We must keep in mind that term “religious right” encompasses two spectrums. Because of our commitment to the faith, we will often find ourselves in agreement with the religious left. And because our conservatism is informed by our religion, we will find also find ourselves in disagreement with the secular right.

Our political alliances, therefore, will often be tenuous and shift based on particular issues. For example, at the Washington Briefing, Richard Land said that he’d vote for a Jewish pro-life politician who promised to raise his taxes before he’d vote a Christian pro-choice candidate who promised to cut them. The rousing applause he received would be as disturbing to most Republicans as it would to most Democrats.

Good stuff. I've got a couple more links from EO that I'm going to be posting in the next few days.
