It's funny. I've seen independent people with honest to God personal opinions get brow beaten and bullied into become Conservobots. I refuse to bow to their heavy handed intimidation tactics. They accuse me of not being a real Christian....they claim I can't be saved...blah, blah, blah. I'm just as saved as they are...I just disagree politically. But they prove my point...the American church is nothing but a political action committee. It's not a real church. At least that's the popular trend right now.
I think it would do us a world of God if we preached against political involvement and taught complete abandon to the Kingdom of God and evangelism. But most idolize Rush Limbaugh to such a degree that they want their own following and bully pulpit. There was a time when preachers used the "n" word all the time and preached against integration. Today they preach against liberals and those who don't politically agree with them. The word "liberal" is the new "n" word. It's no longer proper to say hateful things about people of color....but you'll get a crowd cheering if you bash a brother who you label a...."liberal".
