I just want to add something. I am Christian. I have always been part of the Republican Party. I am not a "liberal" Christian or any other type of washed out and faded Christ follower. I'm just a normal, Bible believing Christian.

I'm well read and educated and have advanced degrees in religion and Theology. I consider my faith the most important part of my life.

That said, I am totally against banning internet poker. I am tired of the "right wing" apparently speaking for Christians. I wish Focus on the Family would have stuck to education and service. I preferred them when they tried to change people and not laws. I am appalled by the number of "Christians" who seem more focused on changing policy instead of lives.

This type of behavior is exactly what has led me to follow people like Ron Paul and others like him. I will never be a liberal, democrat or socialist. But I will never equate myself with the neocons, the "conservative right" or any of them either. No more parties for me.

I fear that most people calling themselves Christians have no real idea what that means but simply follow the trends and popular books. I just want some of you who "hate" Christians or think that the Right Wing always speaks for all of us to realize that that is not the case. I hate that virtually every article on this issue lists that Christians and Republicans as the enemy (and generally rightly so). Well, I believe those Christians referred to are wrong and I believe those Republicans referred to are far from the tradition, Republican party of old and represent the party that pushed this Christian to Libertarianism and liberty.
