Yeahhhh, sorry. The intelligent among us aren’t buying the “that will never happen” line anymore.[/quote]

Yeah, I am actually pretty sure that there were presentations being made to church folk in the 1970s about this. My mother occasionally admits that this was the case, and that she is totally in favor of a church-led government. Other times, she pretends she is just a fox-news'watching "regular" conservative. So she is insane, and possibly not the best source, but I do believe there was some organizing around this idea in the 70s/80s that led to insane voting populations that include my mother.[/quote]

Really? You are “pretty sure” “presentations” were made to “church folk” in the 1970s? Please, link some credible sources. Who gave these presentations? What church populations did they speak to? What did their material instruct them to say?

Haha, as I said, I am a secondhand, noncredible source. The reason I believe it is because my mother doesn't have strong opinions unless they were presented to her in a big-setting, emotionally manipulative way, and (less credibly) occasionally she says it happened (and other times, denies same), in an independent, fundamentalist, evangelical church in Virginia. I am just passing on some anecdotal crap, as one does on an internet forum . I am not reporting to the nytimes.[/quote]

Oh, and btw, this being pre internet, I haven't found anything (yet), don't even have online confirmation of the names of pastors (which I do have print records for). Point is, lots of crap happened before the year 2000, and lots of it escaped any media attention  and lots of it is lost for all time, except in the minds of 70- something Fox News watchers who vote against their own interests and do not live by the values they supposedly hold dear. I cannot explain it, I do believe they were subject to The Great Presentation in evangelical church in the 70s or early 80s!! This is as good of a theory as anything I have ever heard, and I stand by it.  :lol: [/quote]
