Very clever. I'm guessing Ann Coulter.

Wrong. Rush. But it is oh so true.

Weird. That last sentence about Rush was not in the text when I blocked and highlighted it. Where did it come from?
Anyway, is Rush really claming that the NAACP is a group for Lazy Colored People?

i know what you mean but just to point out an example of biblical principles:
Commandments Five to Ten:
How To Live In Peace With Humanity:
Fifth
"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which The Lord your God gives you."
Sixth
"You shall not kill."
Seventh
"You shall not commit adultery."
Eighth
"You shall not steal."
Ninth
"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."
Tenth
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor's."
(Exodus 20:2-17 RSV)
some biblical principles

Wait. Any group, evangelical or otherwise, with an excessive amount of power and influence can be susceptible to abuse of their power. Sounds like some people here are just expressing a real concern about the potential for certain evangelical groups to use their influence to push less than democratic and or unbiblical agendas.
Creating a theocracy may be a bit of stretch but what is it that the evangelicals hope to acieve with their influence? Save souls? OK, I'll accept that. But is that all? No. They're trying to use their influence to change laws. Reverse court decisions. Amend the constitution. Just to name a few. All in such a way that fits their particular version of christianity. And hey, nobody should fault them for that. They're exercising their rights to participate in the democratic process that's in place.
What bothers me somewhat though is that there seems to be a perception that all evangelicals or christians are of the same political persuasions. And its easy to see why people would believe that to be true. The media tends to frame the christian point of view in conservative right leaning perspectives. Expressed by vocal and high profile movements like the Christian Coalition and Moral Majority. The truth is though that not all christians think alike politically. Heck, they disagree all the time on biblical matters. That's probably why there are so many different christian denominattions! Its just not smart to lump all christians as having the same political goals and agendas.

Can someone explain to me what some of the fundamental biblical principles are? Is the term "biblical principles" synonomous with "Christian principles"? Can the term "biblical principles" be used to refer strictly to the old testament?
I always thought that the most fundamental and far and away the most important of all the Christian principles was that no person can get to heaven and/or obtain eternal salvation without accepting that Jesus Christ died for his or her sins. Its my understanding that you are not a true Christian unless you accept this fact as gospel.
But then again, maybe I'm wrong.

No. He throws the L in there for 'liberal'. When the NAACP has had the opportunity to really help advance people of color (such as Clarence Thomas and Condi Rice), they are MIA because the people of color happen to be conservatives.

my csvt. You answered my question as I was typing it. I personally happen to agree with most of these Commandments and generally try to abide by them. However, can these really be the basis of an effective government?

Yeah, maybe instead they should champion the cause of celebrity drug addicts.
