Current Events » in reply to I was offended by Donald’s broad brush approach to conservative Christians.

When people say: "the Christian right" they mean something different...

...from "all conservatives who are also Christians". There is a specific advocacy group that identifies with (or are identified by others as) the "Christian Right". These are a set of people that really do exist and really do exert some power over the Republican party in general. And they really do have a platform that is not equivalent to that of the Republican party.

I think it is wonderful that you are not one of them (or heck, I really don't care one way or the other, but we would have more things to disagree on, if you identified with them). I wish you had heard about them though, because it would make this conversation so much more intelligible.
