Breach of faith Former White House insider David Kuo talks about how the Bush administration used its most loyal voters, evangelical Christians, for political gain.
  • Christians + power = rotten fruit (so far)

    Alex, great interview! David: Thank you - very much looking forward to reading the book!

    I particularly appreciate that David did NOT fall into the moral trap of criticising anyone's faith per se. What clearly concerns him (and what can be usefully critiqued) are the results not achieved: "By their fruits you shall know them."

    I'd forgotten how great that quotation from Chuck Colson was. Eeeek!

    As a Christian myself I am sad that political 'use' of the Christian right has made so many potential allies (people I want to work with on poverty or whatever) think that Christianity = hypocrisy. I agree with David that the way forward is going back to our roots and simply doing what Jesus told us.
