2. I listened until I just couldn't take anymore.

No matter how the guy wants to cut it, there are large numbers dropping membership in the evangelical churches... especially the Southern Baptist. I also don't agree that those who drop will come back later with idea more in line with the original teachings. Young people today, both religious and secular, are not as cruel as they see their parents and churches being. I don't think they'll go back... or if they do, they're completely reform the church. The guy also gave off the "persecution" vibe way too much for me. Try being a witch in today's culture, and then get back with me on that.

I also couldn't stand the pumping up of Haley. That's where the rest of it lost me. Christie, Haley... none of them are country over party. There's not a hair's breadth difference among any of the R's, IMO.

And, although it makes my stomach turn, I think we stand the best chance at 4 more years if *rump is the nominee. We've already seen how stupid the R's are... how easily they can be bought and lied to... I think I would be more afraid of those R's or I's who might see Haley as somehow more "middle of the road." Although she's anything BUT middle of the road. But she is a younger, fresh face on the national election scene. I'm worried that could be enough to turn R's heads... especially the men. The only downside she has is... she's a woman. And we know what R's think of women.

All this, just my opinion, of course... YMMV
