Fundie Christians battle the "war on Christmas" but to hell with the poor

sorry, but these folks ain't my idea of christians... which is a shame because there's a lot of really committed, really decent, christian folks out there and the fundies are giving them a bad name... if jesus is watching, i wouldn't imagine he'd be too happy about it either...
When hundreds of religious activists try to get arrested today to protest cutting programs for the poor, prominent conservatives such as James Dobson, Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell will not be among them.

That is a great relief to Republican leaders, who have dismissed the burgeoning protests as the work of liberals. But it raises the question: Why in recent years have conservative Christians asserted their influence on efforts to relieve Third World debt, AIDS in Africa, strife in Sudan and international sex trafficking -- but remained on the sidelines while liberal Christians protest domestic spending cuts?

why...? because they aren't interested in the have-not's... they're much more interested in establishing a theocratic state and getting the rest of us to toe their line...
