The difference between Jeremiah Wright and radical, white evangelical ministers

Are evangelical Republicans who blame America for terrorist attacks and natural disasters -- including a sitting U.S. senator -- as guilty of "anti-Americanism" as Wright is?

    That's why I label people like that 'Political Christians'. Because they're only Christians politically. Most fundamentalists who represent the religion in political arenas have long since shucked the actual teachings of Christ and the New Testament. Their God is not the loving one, but the vengeful one of fire and brimstone, and they're constantly looking for another Sodom and Gamorrah to lay to waste in His name.

    I'd subscribe that there are precious few genuine Christians duly represented in the Political Elite.
