I know I hear it all the time in debates over there. Hardly seems like much of an invention if all someone's done is apply a term in common usage in the US to people with similar politics here. It would be like calling the Liberal Democrats liberals.Matthew Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948452770723874618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1145982022565805502006-04-25T17:20:00.000+01:002006-04-25T17:20:00.000+01:00Ms Worth,I believe the role of people of faith is ...Ms Worth,<BR/><BR/>I believe the role of people of faith is to affect the world for the better. Our Theo-Con friends claim no exclusive franchise for the Almighty, indeed, they are ecumenically minded and broad in their appeal. It is sad that their 'battles' are frequently couched by the media (or 'progressive' sites like this) in negative terms - like anti-gay marriage, or the 'Tory Taliban' - when (in reality) they are making a stand in support of marriage, in support of stable families, in support of tradition, in support of the foundations that many hold dear.<BR/><BR/>I would rather have a Parliament or Party where people argue about their deeply-held political and religious convictions, than one where there is a bland expression of superficial and politically-correct nothingness.Archbishop Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16817505540390495385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1145960220122618702006-04-25T11:17:00.000+01:002006-04-25T11:17:00.000+01:00Theo-Cons is good.
