Can anyone see why conservatives have a bad rep?
Though I proudly call myself a conservative, a Christian, and an evangelical, I can understand why some believers shy away from those terms. Buchanan (insensitive conservative Catholic), Newt Gingrich (who felt the VTech tragedy would not have happened if people bore arms), and Pat Robertson (who called for Venezuelan Prez Hugo Chavez' assassination and who said Israeli PM Ariel Sharon's stroke was God's punishment for his Gaza withdrawal) all portray us in a negative light. And it's time we disassociated ourselves firmly from them in order to preserve a biblical, godly image of what it means to be a follower of Christ.
