Left Behind is the title of this piece over at The American Spectator:
| Ever since James Dobson threw down the gauntlet against the Republican Party nominating a pro-choice presidential candidate, the focus has been on the intransigence of the religious right. Obdurate evangelical zealots are said to be tearing down GOP frontrunner Rudy Giuliani and paving the way for Hillary Clinton’s presidency.
The real story is how feeble and ineffectual conservative Christian opposition to Giuliani has actually been. […] Dobson argues that their movement will be set back if the GOP nominates a candidate with Giuliani’s social views. Gary Bauer, by contrast, has said he cannot imagine “a bigger disaster” than Hillary Clinton in the White House. They could both be right. But if social conservatives don’t get their act together, they will be complicit in their own marginalization. |
It crossed my mind that a political defeat for the religious right may open their hearts (and mine) to revival.
If that were true and if I’m praying for revival in the USA . . . .
