Pentecostals are considered evangelicals, but Lutherans can be either evangelical or mainline protestant, depending on which Lutheran group you are talking about. Mainline denominations are those that were brought to the U.S. by early groups of immigrants.
I don't believe most evangelicals support amnesty. I do believe a significant minority of them do though.
No doubt that evangelicals will soon completely collapse just as mainline protestant groups have if they don't change their ways and get back to the fundamentals of the faith. The end of James Edwards' blog that Bart posted sums up the insanity pretty well, as evangelicals are no doubt a huge part of Tea Party goers.
"But in the past few days, Lloyd Marcus has become the national symbol of the Tea Party movement. He
wrote a column
for the neo-con website American Thinker denouncing liberals and
Democrats for, you guessed it, "racism"Â. (Do blacks, "conservative"Â or
"liberal"Â, ever talk about anything else?) Then influential columnist
(and substitute host for Rush Limbaugh)
started praising him on the National Review website. More prominent "conservative"Â writers picked up the theme and ran with it.
Here's one. There are lots more.
Unbelievably, even Peter Brimelow
is now praising Lloyd Marcus.
So once again, a white movement has been completely neutralized by
political correctness. Millions of white people are looking for a group
that will speak out for them, and speak up for their interests, without
apology. Then they find out that the tea party crowd not only won't
speak up for them, but their public mascot is a black man who's engaged
in white genocide.
Yeah, that's a real smart plan for winning the hearts and minds of the millions of fed up white people in this country.
And conservatives wonder why they never make any progress, or win any big battles?
It's fine for white women to marry black men, but two men getting married is a big deal?
Interracial marriage is hunky dory, but high taxes are an abomination?
Immigration is bad because we're replacing the founding stock of
this country, but it's just dandy for the founding stock of this
country to breed themselves out of existence by "marrying"Â blacks?
This is insane."
