Liberal cleric Tony Campolo, still a popular speaker with some evangelical audiences who are largely unaware of his leftist political and social opinions) is a member of the Democrat Party platform committee who has helped to change the language of that party on abortion.
Below are some things Mr. Campolo has said which should upset all who care about Bible or moral based values.
Religious leaders who consulted on the platform said they expect Republicans to use abortion as a ``wedge issue'' in the way they used gay marriage to turn out evangelical voters in 2004. That's why finding a middle ground was so important, said Reverend Tony Campolo, a platform committee member.
``This doesn't solve the problem, but it certainly moves in the right direction,'' said Campolo, 73. ``We're a diverse party, and we ought to have room ethically for each other.''
In other words, Campolo cares more about the Democrats winning elections. The party of abortion and homosexual privilege doesn't bother this preacher.
But what does upset him is that other evangelicals and Catholics are not and open-minded like he is. Perhaps the reason they are not open minded is they know biblical values and care more about them than seeing the party of abortion on demand put in power. Those of us who care about values must put our faith and values ahead of any political party. Read more at Bloomberg.com.
