Pulpit politics - Can it be beat?
How do you compete with hell, end-timers, fire and brimstone, revelations, and america's steep slide into a theocratic fascist state?

I'm feeling a little helpless today. Is it time to visit BelizeRealty.com and look for that little cabin on the beach?

1. People's attraction to this is based on fear and hopelessness....
If we can ever get enough power and money and innovative people into
the government, we can get back to making progress. That would show
these folks that things are not hopeless.

Unfortunately, fear works. The irrational fear that so many had in response
to 9/11, an event hardly unprecidented and easily preventable, has been
capitalized on by the Right.
