Frank Schaeffer on Democracy Now! Part 2 of 2

Frank Schaeffer is the bestselling author of Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of It Back. He is the son of the late evangelist Francis Schaeffer and considered himself a lifelong Republican. He voted for John McCain in 2000, and McCain even endorsed one of Schaeffers earlier books on military service. But on Friday, Schaeffer published an open letter to McCain excoriating the Arizona senator.

Frank Schaeffer has the guts to admit he was wrong to uphold the religious right in the past. If he ran the Republican Party, it might actually be taken seriously again. He would be the only person in the party who actually is capable of independent thought.

There is nothing sad about Mr. schaeffer's comments.

Evangelicals have already given up on this world. They seek only the world beyond, the world of God. Therefore it's only obvious for them not to care about our country or the world for that matter. That's why they never seek to better the world, because they don't believe in this world. The only question I have is why should we share this world with such ignorant and small minded people............The world is a diverse place and everyone has their view, but religion is fundamentally opposed .

@mujkocka Nobody's "bad-mouthing" obama - The truth is found in obama's writings, speaches, and actions - obama is a Godless and Blind politician - A person must be Godless and Blind, and willingly ignorant to fund (with US taxpayer money) murder in abortion mills of the world, (Ps.8:5-7 Ps.127:3 Ps.139:13-15 & Gal.1:15, Amos 1:13 etc.) - obama is nothing new to me - the last democrat I could vote for in good conscience was JFK - A person must be Godless & Blind to support such candidates

Most of us had the courage to stand & rebel against our Fathers, while they were still alive.

Then had to swallow hard whenever we went on to learn much later in life, just how stupid & wrong we had been, to do it.

Looking @ & hearing Frankie here, all I can think is it's too bad that this chickenshit asshole had to wait more than 25 years from the time of his (great) Father's death, to rebel against him

I'll bet he's become gender confused too, I can easily see all the tell tale tendencies

This guy is a liar. His siblings even attest to this fact. Funny how he tries to take credit for the work of his father in order to discredit it.

"Resolving the pain buried deep within his heart"

Thank you for your, um, deeply

held but truly sick divinely inspired message.))
