Bill Clinton raises some interesting points as to some of the reasons why the Tea Party (as well as more extreme protesters) are coming out of the woodwork under Obama’s watch. Watch this. What do you think?

Wearing my Jesus Goggles to the Tea Party
The post below appeared today on Sojourners’ God’s Politics blog. You can also read my more newsy recap of the event at Blast Magazine. by Steve Holt Tea Party Express – the traveling band of conservative speakers, entertainers, and organizers — stops in Washington, D.C., today on its nationwide effort to “vote them out of office” [...]

They’re all the same
For your own good, please take a moment to read EA Hanks’ “Dear The Left: A Breakup Letter.” Or skim it. I don’t care, really. I have so many things I could say about this provocative and well-written letter. ”I told you so” comes to mind. I’ve been saying it for years now, folks: these [...]

Why I Voted
I blogged about politics a lot this year. Our Christian faith bears heavily on our ability to put much or any hope in earthly governments. At one point, I believe I even said I wouldn’t be voting on November 4. Well, here’s the shocker: I voted yesterday. It basically came down to my desire to [...]

DNC, RNC musings
I just have to re-post Josh Brown’s reflections on the political conventions (thanks to Revolution in Jesusland for posting it first), because they are my sentiments almost to a T.

Christian Politics, Rd. 5: Civility
Where I would hope all Christians agree regarding American politics is in communicating with each other in a civil way. With everyone, even if they have a different take on the most important issue to you. All Christian speech is seasoned with salt, edifying, and spoken in love. This is a given. Or so one [...]

Christian Politics, rd 4: Takin’ on McLaren!
OK, let’s get back to it. Christianity. Politics. What are we to do? Does God care? I have already made the suggestion in these posts that Jesus was radically political, but not in the way his disciples or enemies thought. He came to announce the nearness of the kingdom of God, which would bring sight [...]

Christian Politics, round 4: Power & Weakness
I’ve been told that there are two subjects you never bring up at a dinner party: politics and religion. This series of posts combines those taboo topics, potentially creating the perfect conversational hurricane. But I’m happy to report that most of you have conducted yourselves in a civil manner, bringing up tough, thoughtful questions and [...]
