All conservative Christians are going to be taking increasing hits from the Left and the MSM. We are going to be increasingly labeled as bigoted loonies not competent to serve. We are not worthy of being called prophets, but we are going to get laughed at like they were. We'll just have to keep calmly and logically laying out or position for those who will listen. By the way John, I've heard rumors about the Iowa caucus and wonder if you had heard anything similar. It's my understanding that in Iowa during caucus voting people stand in groups in the meeting area according to the candidate they support. No secret voting. Everybody can see who you support. I've read posting by many people that said Evangelical folks who showed up intending to vote for Romney were shamed into joining the groups supporting Huckabee or someone else by fellow church members, that the pressure to conform was tremendous.
