Don’t believe everything you read
The idea that the Religious Right is all but disbanded has even made it into conservative media lately. Personally, I don’t feel any different than I did a couple of years ago, and I don’t know of anyone who would have been associated with the RR before who has decided that from now on they are going to oppose them in every way they can.
On today’s BreakPoint commentary, Chuck Colson says,
The cover story of Sunday’s New York Times Magazine pronounced the demise of the religious right in America. The ranks are demoralized, split, and liberal evangelicals are taking over with a new agenda for the environment and the poor. On the editorial page, the acerbic Frank Rich coordinated his column with the magazine, concluding, “Inauguration Day 2009 is at the very least Armageddon for the reigning ayatollahs of the American right.”
Wow! Just three years ago the press touted conservative evangelicals as the most powerful voting block in America. What happened?
Nothing. The press is up to its old tricks. When I was in the White House, the press heralded me as Nixon’s brilliant political strategist. Then within a year, once having built me up, I was called the “White House hatchet man” and a lot worse. The press loves to create monsters, build them up, and then take credit for slaying them. It sells papers.

Sounds like a Hillary ‘pep rally’ to me…
Wishful thinking from the left.
