"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

One more reason why I, a conservative, hate even conservative politics.
Even the "grassroots" movements are gross.
The Tea Party Federation (whatever that is) just expelled this guy from their ranks for his "coloreds write to Abe" letter, but that he was recognized in their ranks as a leading spokesman to begin with is just nutty. He's been saying off-the-reservation things for a while.
Here's something he wrote about Vermonters back when some town in Vermont wanted to issue arrest warrants for Bush and Cheney (itself a nutty move):
(I wonder if I can get "Retard CHUD from the Backwoods of New England" on a bumper sticker.)
More and more and more and more proof that in politics, the one with the loudest voice and pot-stirringest ideas rises to the top. Oh, and the most money.
I hate it.

Unfortunately, invective has become the lingua franca of most politicians and pseudo politicos. It's nothing new. Anger and opportunism drive most of what they say to one another. James 1:19-20.

Don't many ear-tinkling voices in religious circles, even evangelical circles, also rise to the top? You can't shoot all of the idiots, and you don't want to kick out all of the misguided.

And this is why I dropped out of political activism in 1995. I got back in briefly in 2007, and abandoned it again about a year or so ago. I don't like most activists, even if I agree with them.
You're not allowed to disagree with anyone respectfully anymore. You have to hate the person, his/her family, and everything about said person.
Given that I'm socially conservative and pretty liberal ("pink around the edges" is how another blogger put it) economically, there aren't a lot of people with whom I completely agree.

Maybe this NAACP thing was good as the real racists are being found out. Our prayer group prays for our nation every week and God is moving.
