Great points, all.

I didn’t spend a lot of time with the Preamble, but you’re right, there is a lot there that was sugar-coating the history of Christianity’s relationship with politics.

For the Right to be claiming any part of a heritage with Dr. King is, at best, revisionist history. I can’t help but notice, for example, that Dr. King was a pacifist, and they passed on the opportunity to mention warfare in their section on life.

Thanks for the link! I’m going to go edit mine to bring people back to your points …
