legendary_zell 04/24/24 3:31:37 PM #5:	specialkid8 posted... When has the right ever not owned religion? There's been many times when religion has been associated with radical reformist and even revolutionary left wing or at least populist movements. For example, the Progressive era was heavily associated with dominant strains of protestant Christianity. Before that, many peasant rebellions in Europe were inspired by a Christian socialist tradition. The almost total capture of the "Christian" identity and political expression by the right is largely a 20th century thing. --- I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black. <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:980073511] in How (And W...

darkace77450 04/24/24 3:33:48 PM #6:	specialkid8 posted... When has the right ever not owned religion? Pre-Reagan. Barry Goldwater, a prominent Republican who ran against LBJ in the 60s, would eventually support gay rights, abortion, environmental protections, and legalized marijuana. He saw the rise of the religious right coming and said... "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."
