Who Cares About Free Speech?

By Johnnie B. Byrd
Monday, February 11, 2008

“Now what?” It’s the repeating question posed to Beetle Bailey by his hapless General Amos T. Halftrack.

Now, it’s the underlying question implicit in the post-Romney seething of conservative talk radio hosts and our listeners: Now what?

Well, all of us who know that talk radio has saved the democracy are looking for a compelling reason to get serious about seeing a Republican, even John McCain, in the White House.

In case you forgot, here is one compelling reason: The Fairness Doctrine! [more]

The Evangelicals' New Clothes

by Nancy Gibbs
TIME Magazine
New York, New York
February 8, 2008


So only after Fred and Rudy and Mitt have dropped out, and McCain has all but mathematically sealed the GOP nomination, does Focus on the Family founder Dr. James Dobson come out and endorse Mike Huckabee as "our best remaining choice for President of the United States," now that it can't possibly make a difference. Given how this season has unfolded, there is something beautifully appropriate about that.

Back at the end of September, after Dobson and his disciples had their private meeting to publicly threaten a third party run if the GOP went with a social liberal like Giuliani, I asked Richard Land, the Southern Baptists' political ambassador, what was the problem with Huckabee, since Land understands these weather systems better than most.

Unmasking The “Gay” Agenda

By Matt Barber

Wednesday, February 13, 2008

Americans who self-identify as “gay” or lesbian comprise roughly one to three percent of the population. Yet the homosexual movement — led by extremist homosexual pressure groups like the so-called Human Rights Campaign (HRC) — represent, per capita, one of America’s most powerful and well-funded political lobbies. Consider that HRC and the HRC foundation alone have an annual budget in excess of 50 million.

Through a carefully crafted, decades-old propaganda campaign, homosexual activists have successfully cast homosexuals — many of whom enjoy positions of influence and affluence — as a disadvantaged minority. They have repackaged and sold to the public behaviors which thousands of years of history, every major world religion and uncompromising human biology have long identified as immoral and sexually deviant.

Defining Evangelicalism Down

By Paul Edwards

Townhall.com

Tuesday, February 12, 2008

The Religious Left is successfully redefining what it means to be a conservative evangelical by misrepresenting what it means to be a conservative evangelical. In a recent conference call hosted by Faith in Public Life, one of the emerging voices of the Religious Left, Dr. Joel Hunter, said:

There’s also a change in the voices that are defining what is conservative now, and what is evangelical. In the past couple of decades you’ve had some very loud voices on both sides – hard right, hard left – and when those were the only choices, then of course many evangelicals are going to go with the hard right because, well, that’s kind of where we mostly are. Now there are many more voices that are expanding the agenda, and so those people that have always had kind of a holistic approach, rather than just a one or two issue approach, are now feeling permission and given permission to be more nuanced and more sophisticated in their approach, rather than just going in a very bifurcated system. And so, what you’re hearing now is that the old voices that appointed themselves as the definers of what was evangelical or what was conservative are not holding sway with the majority of evangelicals anymore.
