Aww.
Christian Coalition splinters off
The Alabama Christian Coalition feels that the national version has "drifted from its founding conservative principles". Those referred to seem to be:
1. Blind devotion to a hardline demi-libertarian economic vision which has no Biblical or theological foundation;
2. Carrying water for Jack Abramoff.
I agree that these are certainly core conservative principles and the ACC should hold to them as tightly as their hatred of gays, foreigners, and everyone who isn't a right-wing conservative Christian.

John Giles is a truly revolting individual.
According to this AP story, the national organization was in the process of terminating its relationship with the state Christian Coalition.
Did they jump before they could get pushed?

You'd think the love they have for their "True" savior would keep them together also.
Religious Right Joins Rev. Moon At Pro-Bush Inaugural Luncheon
The Washington, D.C., event was put on the The Washington Times Foundation, a non-profit group founded by Moon. The controversial Korean evangelist, who preaches that he is the new messiah sent by God to complete the failed mission of Jesus, spoke at the event and received an award for his work in support of family values, the Moon-owned Washington Times reported.
The Rev. Billy McCormack, a Christian Coalition board member and long-time Religious Right activist from Louisiana, assisted in presenting Moon with the award.
Other attendees at the event included TV preachers Jerry Falwell, Robert Schuller, Kenneth Copeland and Paul Crouch as well as Don Argue, former president of the National Association of Evangelicals. Former pop star Pat Boone provided entertainment.
Two Bush administration nominees attended the luncheon as well - Stephen Goldsmith, the former Indianapolis mayor who will promote "charitable choice" initiatives, and Attorney General John Ashcroft. Goldsmith touted the Bush plan to give churches federal funds to offer social services.
