Hello everybody.   
      
       Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican]   
   party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn   
   problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand   
   compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God,   
   so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.   
       .....   
       The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using   
   their religious clout with wisdom.... I'm frankly sick and tired of the   
   political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want   
   to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C,' and 'D.' Just who do   
   they think they are?... I will fight them every step of the way if they try to   
   dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of    
   conservatism."
