Say What You Mean

From a report on Justice Sunday...

“About 1,200 liberal Christians gathered at a rally at a Presbyterian church here to protest what one speaker, the left-leaning evangelical Jim Wallis, called "a declaration of a religious war" and "an attempt to hijack religion."

Why do we allow this kind of reporting to dictate what we think?

Define “Liberal Christian” and Left-leaning” for me. Now define “Right-wing” and Conservative Christian”.

By using these labels, the reporter is off the hook for any kind of truth in reporting, as the definitions are as varied as there are readers.
