Senator Barack Obama joined the list of many who claim right-wing evangelicals have politicized their beliefs. My response to Sen. Obama is that I hold the Bible higher than our constitution. I respect and admire our constitution, but I believe the Bible is the inherent written word of God. I tell my democratic friends all the time that the democratic party forced me to the republicans. I do not consider myself a republican, but an evangelical conservative. I call myself an evangelical because Christians should evangelize not force their beliefs. That would turn America into a theocracy. Sen. Obama should be more concerned with the extremists that are taking over his own party. Such as the feminists, environmentalists, and the homosexuals. When the democratic party starts caring more about saving babies rather than trees, then I will give them support. Christians are sticking up for the Judeo Christian principles this country was founded on. 52 of the 55 founders of the constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies. Here are a few quotes:

“Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers.”
John Jay the first Supreme Court Justice

“It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religion but on the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
Patrick Henry

I will continue with this topic more when I discuss the misinterpretation of “separation of church and state”. For further information on statements by Senator Obama or information on the church he attends here is the article.
