Remember she of SNL fame? Well, she apparently thinks that Obama may literally be the devil. And no, it’s not a joke… I don’t want a political label, but Obama bears traits that resemble the anti- Christ and I’m scared to death that un- educated people will ignorantly vote him into office. You see, what [...]

Remember that woman who stood up at a recent McCain rally and claimed Obama is an arab? Thankfully McCain quickly corrected her, but as the following interview that was conducted directly after the event shows, she still believes Obama is an arab. What’s even more disconcerting is it appears as if she’s sending letters that [...]

“I also would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god–whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah–that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons. And Lord, I pray that you will guard your own reputation, [...]

She keeps on stumbling… Doug breaks it down… Palin’s statement is particularly interesting mostly because it ends up becoming a fundamental misreading of what Jefferson meant when he said that the First Amendment had erected a “wall of separation” between the political and clerical worlds — namely his assertion, widely accepted during the Founding Era, [...]

The other two segments will be on Good Morning America and 20/20. World News Tonight – Part 1 As mentioned earlier, her lack of understanding of the Bush Doctrine and the “head of state” excuse are extremely troubling. And, in general, it doesn’t really seem like she truly knows about what she’s talking about. I [...]

While Barack Obama has rallied many of the traditionally Democratic voting groups, he’s had some difficulty securing the Jewish vote. Now, there’s a new group trying to solve that problem: Jewish Grandchildren for Obama. The group’s mission is to get younger, pro-Obama Jewish voters to speak with their older friends and relatives in support of [...]

A group of right-leaning churches want to officially challenge the ban on political endorsements at the pulpit, and I say go right ahead. And then, when right-leaning Supreme Court overturns the ban, I hope churches are taxed just like any other institution. Fair? From Wash Post: CHICAGO — Declaring that clergy have a constitutional right [...]

How is it, with all the issues facing this nation, the first time our two main presidential candidates appeared together in the same forum the topic was faith? Sure, a candidate’s faith is important because it’s informative, but have we really reached a point in American politics where courting religious believers with platitudes is deemed [...]

That’s the word from The Washington Times… They say Mr. Romney lacks trust on issues such as outlawing abortion and opposing same-sex marriage and because he is a Mormon. Opposition is particularly powerful among those who supported former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in the Republican presidential primaries earlier this year. “McCain and Romney would be [...]

With leaners Obama – 48% McCain – 45% Without leaners Obama – 45% McCain – 41% Obama edges up one today in the “with leaners” numbers, and both candidates gain a point in “w/o leaners” to remain steady at a 4 point spread. So what about the religious vote? Currently, McCain leads by a 60% [...]

What happens when Christians prank each other? Prank 3:16 finds out when they attempt to convince a particularly devout fan of the Left Behind series that the Rapture has just happened…and she wasn’t part of it. One note…Prank 3:16 says that their goal is “to provide wholesome programming while teaching Christian principles.” Do you think [...]

But just because these leaders are backing McCain doesn’t mean that their followers are going to fall in line lock-step. In fact, after reading this article, I think some may find a distinct distaste for how these folks are framing their decisions. First, TIME has the details about who was there… The group included leaders [...]

Obama’s play for the evangelical vote continues…but, unlike his predecessor, he’s less interested in what faith can do and much more interested in how the faithful can help. From AP: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is announcing plans to expand President Bush’s program steering federal social service dollars to religious groups and — in a [...]

And not only does it promise to be fairly flattering portrayal, but the author is detailing why evangelicals (especially young ones) may swing for Obama this election. From Politico: The forthcoming volume from Stephen Mansfield, whose sympathetic “The Faith of George W. Bush” spent 15 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in 2004, [...]

Apparently the fervor isn’t exactly at a fever pitch for McCain, and Mark DeMoss, one of the more high-profile PR flaks for the biggest evangelical groups, is suggesting this could mean a shift to Obama. From God-o-Meter: You represent some of the nation’s most powerful evangelicals. What do those leaders say about McCain? This is [...]

As you all are likely aware, Barack Obama left his church this weekend. While the pulpit of his church has certainly served as a stage for some rather incendiary statements over the years, this move by Obama is about more than just politics. Similar to John McCain’s recent renunciation of controversial pastor John Hagee, Obama’s [...]

While this won’t shut up critics who think Obama actually believes the nonsense that Wright said, it will stop stories like this latest Father Pfleger flap from happening during the general election. Here’s a reaction from The Corner: It’s been just over two months since Obama’s Philadelphia speech on race — the one that was [...]

Bravo to Governor Patterson for saying New York should recognize gay marriages from other states, but this has obviously made A LOT of social conservatives angry and they’re not going down without a fight. First, Patterson’s reasoning… Paterson issued a memo earlier this month saying that gay New Yorkers who marry where it is legal [...]

With this latest pastor flare-up, I stumbled across an old post from Dennis Sanders about Wright in March. He comes at this story from a very unique perspective, and as much as I’d like for the Wright story to just go away because I don’t think Obama should be held responsible for what somebody else [...]

Obama has already condemned Comedian Father Michael Pfleger, and his connection to this joker seems tenuous at best, but that’s not going to stop people from associating Obama with remarks he had absolutely nothing to do with. Here’s a story from the Today Show… Honestly, I think this might help Obama. Eventually, people are going [...]
