At Christianiy Today's politics blog, Sarah Pulliam points out that the 16-page letter from Focus on the Family offering a hypothetical look back on the first term of an Obama administration that's disastrous for religious conservatives blames young evangelicals for an Obama victory:
Many Christians voted for Obama - younger evangelicals actually provided him with the needed margin to defeat John McCain - but they didn't think he would really follow through on the far-Left policies that had marked his career. They were wrong.
Is this "talking to" from evangelical elders to the younger generation likely to help reverse the migration of young evangelicals out of the Republican column? Or will it urge more to leave?

Focus on the family is the problem, not the solution. They are the antichrist.
This country is the ONLY one in the world founded on belief in the God of the bible. Do you think us being the greatest nation EVER is just because we work hard, have determination, or any other silly little phrase we try to clame only for Americans? You want God out of your business? We'll here you go, and now watch what happens to the America we have had for over 200 years. Welcome to change and the NEW AMERICA. "Lord, please come quickly so my children and grandchildren do not have to witness this un-Godly country we are becoming, and the wrath you will bring as judgement. Amen". Be on your knees my young uninformed christian brothers and sisters who voted for "change"! Conservatism has it's problems, but putting the Lord and what His word commands first is rarely one of them!
It's time to dump Dobson. His megalomaniac view of his own importance in the world has done more harm than good. It's high time the Christrian Right got off their collective behinds to stand up for the poor and disenfranchised in this world rather than the greedy big money crowd that brought about our current economic mess.I'm no Democrat but my prayers go with Mr. Obama that he would bring us together as a country. Stop demonizing him and find at least some common ground to begin getting this country back on its feet.
I am in mourning for this nation. Those who would vote for a man who takes lightly and/or ignored God's direct instruction about abortion (shall not murder); partial birth abortion favoring and no medical attention for a human being born as the result of attempted abortion but still living; one who is a friend to those who hate Israel; one who himself is a friend to an unpentant terrorist; one who was a member of a hate preaching church; one who sealed his birth certificate to avoid verification; one who wants to steal from some to give to others. One of our signers of the constitution said if a government is big enough to take your property from you, it is big enough to take your freedoms too. God will not be mocked. This year some Christians mocked God with this election choice, and they will be held accountable for a righteous or an unrighteous vote. Shame.
I just saw a "gay rights" demonstration on the Sundance Channel, with a crowd trying to get inside Dr. Dobson's church. I didn't note the date, so it may have been a re-run. The best part was when polite, but firm, police officers led hand-cuffed trespassers to the pokey. I looked for this site as soon as it was over.
Genesis 2:24 says marriage is a union between one man and one woman. This is in spite of the December 8, 2008 Newsweek trying to refute the Bible & hetero marriage. I wonder if Newsweek will follow the circulation drop that miami Herald, Washington Post, NY & LA Times? One can only hope - and pray.
The same ones who believe in the "living, breathing constitution" must be the same crowd that believe in a "living, breathing, Bible".
This in no way casts any dispersion on "The Living Bible", as I have found it an informative, easily read book, which does _Not_ distort God's Word, but explains it for modern readers.
When we were given the Ten Commandments, I didn't see where we receive a 'pass' for 70 or 90%. As difficult as it may be at times for most of us, we were given TEN to obey.
