"Here�s one of the most salient facts of politics today: There is a close and growing correlation between dutiful church attendance and identification with the GOP."  Fineman on MSNBC. 
 
 
You make my point Karen.   I have not doubt that my father would have left the church by now.   He was offended when they had Republican voter registration in the church lobby 20 years ago.   About that time it was the current Senator Nichols from Oklahoma who stole a rival sign from my parents front yard in Bartlesville.     I have no doubt that the current crop of preachers would have literally driven, both he and my mother, out the door.    That could be the reason my Mother didn't object to my return to traditional practices and even bought me a beautiful book about the Sioux religion which I treasure.
 
A sermon a week sung to barroom songs and backroom ballads in the musical equivalent of expletives is what we are getting these days.   Sounds like the Republican convention.
