EVANGELICALS AREN'T EASILY PIGEONHOLED

It may come as a surprise to Republicrats, but not all evangelical 
Christians believe in the two-party system, the Patriot Act or the war on 
drugs. Two parties? That's only one more than most dictatorships. The 
Patriot Act may have saved Americans from some foreign terrorism, but what 
about domestic tyranny? The war on drugs may have stopped your kid from 
smoking pot -- which was the parents' job in the first place -- but how 
many of the ill and dying or just plain innocent are suffering at the hands 
of police? I'd rather live next to a pothead than a fascist.A nation of 
laws is becoming as oppressive as a low-calorie dictatorship.
