I didn't see that show. I hoped Keith explained the evil in having an

Isn't Bill Clinton also a southern Baptist, just like Huckabee?
Being a Baptist doesn't necessarily mean your are a follower of the
evangelical "movement".

My original point was that those in the media who tend to the left like to
automatically tie the two together.
Of course Olberman, in his pursuit of an ego driven desire to rank up there
with other journalist greats, isn't exactly "tending". He swung the helm
hard to port (boating content) when he realized that current events would
really be good for his career to do so.

That explains it. It's a "Low Transom Filter".

I would like to trademark LTF.

My personal understanding of evangelism includes any Christian who
feels compelled to "spread the word" and recruit new members or "save"
their non-Christian neighbors. "Angel" is the root word, and an
evangelist, like a biblical angel, feels that he or she is carrying a
message from God. I may be entirely wrong, but that's my understanding
anyway and it's probably shared by a walloping number of folks who
also are not evangelical.

That's sort of the way of it.

The distinction between a Lutheran Church and Evangelical Lutheran
church is this - a Lutheran Church is more responsive to a central
authority (like one of the major Synods) and an Evangelical Lutheran
church is one that relies on the gospel as the ultimate reference
rather than a central authority.

It would be the same with Congretionalists, Presbyterians and, oddly,
Anglican.

There is even an evangelical group within Catholicism - which is
sometimes called High Church Lutheranism.

That's a simple way of explaning it - there are details, details,
details. :)

Yep - that one surprized me that's for sure. What interests me is
that Huckabee would be the ideal Democrat candidate. What he proposes
isn't conservative Republican in any sense of the word. I think he
was selected on the strength of his faith and his pro-life stance - in
ever other aspect, he's a Democrat.

He was selected because he exudes decency and leadership.
There is no such thing as "conservative Republican." That's a term
ideologues use for different purposes, and with different motives.
Don't know what kind of Prez he would be, but I like Huckabee.
I'm not religious, but have no fear of Huckabee.
We share many values.
*Any* major candidate of either party - excepting Guiliani - will be a
vast improvement over those currently in power.
The only one that gives me pause is Obama, because he might have
Snoop Doggy Dog performing at White House events that I could stumble
upon watching television. I generally don't like rap music.

Snoop Dog usually has some interesting women following him.

I'll wager that there is a concensus in the country that leaders ground
by a strong faith in religion will actually lead rather than follow the
latest polls.

So if you have never met a Christian who has any problems with the
Mormon faith you probably are not an evangelical Christian living in
Iowa. Reports from evangelical Christians there (as evident in your
own link) confirm that Mormonism is/was an issue that many of them
considered a strike against Romney

What's funny about this is that if any of these folks knew how many
Mormons are working for the US government in positions of influence
and power, their heads would explode. :)

There is rumor that Hoover like to hire Mormons. They could keep their
mouths shut when asked.

I might have seen the show Eisboch is talking about.
Bunch of them sitting around, including Matthews, actually bragging
they never saw a Chuck Norris movie. They are either lying or live in
caves. Not that Norris ever made a decent movie, but to have not
ever been exposed to one shows a certain insularity.
Matthews and Olbermann interviewed Huckabee, who acquitted himself
very well, then made some snide remarks when he was gone.



Huckabee says he's never had a beer.
