Ted, judging from what's being reported, I would have probably left the East Waynesville Baptist Church as well.

But like I said before, the AP is making this church the poster boy for conservatives mixing religion and politics, and liberal columnists across the nation are jumping in. Just today, Dan K. Thomasson of Scripps Howard News Service said this:

A North Carolina Baptist pastor tells his congregation that those who don't agree with Bush aren't welcome. Nine church members are voted out and 40 some others resign in protest. A spokesman for the state's Baptist Convention reportedly excuses this silly outrage as a local matter and the pastor has since resigned.

Why isn't this just a local matter? The only reason it's national now is because of the media.

P.S. - No need to compare this to Terri Schiavo, because that case no longer was private the moment it landed in court.
