James McGreevey's Confession has not been received well by the same-sex sex crowd, or the liberal community in general - thanks to the common grace of God. But the disgraced former Governor of New Jersey's
creepy invocation of God to justify surrendering to temptation is certainly what happens when the liberal's Supreme Being, whatever it is conceived to be, is called upon.
"What I didn’t understand was that being gay, as with everything else,
is a grace from God, and that by accepting that grace and by accepting
that reality, by embracing that truth, I could authentically be who I
was,"
Can "
red letter liberal" Christian Democrats prevent their party from being more and more conformed to the image of James McGreevey? They may not desire their cause to be identified with his, but they have insufficient will to prevent it.
Besides how weird it will get when pacifists address issues like defense and sanctions, they will find that they will not be heard for what they say, but for what they do not say. They will get the most attention for the message inferred between the lines, that God has come out of the closet.
Launched with the lofty goal of focusing on obligations to the weak according to Christ, the Christian Democrats
will find their flight immediately hijacked, directed toward the issues that liberals really care about these days.
