The religious right leaders has admitted that their goal to remake our country in their image has failed. James Dobson, Rev Joe Morecraft and few others realized following Bush and playing foolish games cost them dearly.
But to me, this was a predictable defeat. There are reasons why their path lead them to a wall. The article in colored block has some reasons, but I will add more to their "fail" list.
- They got involved with politics. Jesus wasn't a fan of Politics.
- They did not have faith in their own God. They trusted politicians who would say any and everything to win.
- They fought for the wrong causes. Poverty, equal rights, love and education for all should have been the focus of these group, but no, they chose gay marriage and abortion. Those issues had nothing to do with the problems of the world.
- They let money rule everything around them. They didn't raise money to stop the war or to provide books in schools; they did it to fund some politician who dropped them as they were in office.
- They allowed crazies into their flock, quickly painting the religious group as mad and ignorant.
- And I think they forgot who Jesus was and what he stood for.
That's is WJWD.

Kind reminds me of Darth Vadar in Revenge of The Sith. He lusted for and sought power and when he got it, it blew up in his face.
I am glad the religious nightmare is over. Maybe our country had to go through that.
I am for religion in its place. It does not belong in government.
The Christian Right is finally where it belongs, in the church.
