US Evangelicals cheer on Latin American culture wars

[LuckyTheDog]

Losing the fight against same-sex marriage at home, leading US Evangelical Christians are joining in the culture wars in Latin America as cheerleaders for opponents of gay legal partnerships, abortion and pornography.

One of the Americans is veteran legal crusader Mat Staver who was both a disciple of late Moral Majority co-founder Jerry Falwell and the leader of a campaign against the removal of religious symbols from celebrations of Christmas in stores and public buildings.

The other is Samuel Rodriguez, a dynamic Latino preacher with strong ties with Republican and Democratic lawmakers in Washington, DC, who describes his religion as mixing Martin Luther King Jr. with televangelist Billy Graham and then "putting a little salsa on top."

1. Stop spamming your blog. There are already several DU threads on this Reuters story.

I realize that posting links to DU boosts your google rank and increases your income, but it's exceeingly tacky.

3. I did not see any other links to that GlobalPost story

And I have not made one cent from running that website.

If linking to content I think is of interest to DU readers is tacky, then EVERYONE here is tacky.
