Christians: does your church or community group support organizations like the Million Mom March? Did it support Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996, and Albert Gore in 2000?
Well, if it's a 501(c)(3) tax exempt religious or educational group, it has no business in politics anyway... and you might want to ask your pastor, minister, or priest if your church should be letting the Million Mom March use its meeting facilities. The MMM also was 501(c)(3) until May 2000, but it was promoting political candidates on its Web site. It also may have used tax-exempt money to run what looked a lot like a campaign rally for Al Gore and other Democratic candidates at its Mother's Day event. But I digress...
Here's what you might REALLY be supporting. (We disagree by only 2 digits)
Libertarian perspective of evil
No, he doesn't look like Patrick McGoohan of "The Prisoner," but you get the general idea. Christian perspective of evil

National identity numbers

Socialized medicine (and government record-keeping on individual health records and so on), supported by Bill Clinton

Firearm owner licensing and registration

Mandatory "smart card" or biometric technology for creating a cashless society (see the Christian perspective on this at right.) This would allow the government (and others) to monitor all your financial transactions, learn your buying habits-- and, if the government decided that you were a subversive, it could cut you out of the economy.

"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." (Revelation 13.18)
If this ever DOES happen, that midnight knock on the door won't come from Libertarians who believe that the Constitution means exactly what it says. Your "friends" in the Million Mom March and similar organizations, though... well, they're the ones who want to license and register people, i.e. put numbers on them. They could probably get into this sort of thing.

Some Libertarians are Christians, some are Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Confucists, Wiccans, or even athiests-- but we ALL believe in the ENTIRE Constitution!

OUR First Amendment right of freedom of expression and OUR Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms assures OUR First Amendment right of freedom of religion! Christians: line up with us on the Second Amendment. Libertarians will line up with you against Mr. 666 or anyone like him.
