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.
