Christian "Left" and "Right"

Kevin McCullough has some stern words for the leaders of the so-called Christian Left.

I think he has a good point with this statement: "There is a divide between liberals and conservatives over the relief of poverty, the easing of suffering, and setting the enslaved free. The divide is not the substance however, but rather the methods."

He also speaks to issues of homosexuality and abortion. There is a greater divide on those issues, because there are few "methods" questions to discuss.

I lean in the conservative direction (probably not a surprise to readers of this blog). Part of this is because of the track-record of government vs. private initiatives. The evidence, I believe, is overwhelmingly in favor of private initiatives, except for the constitutionally-mandated "common defense" government spending.
