And there is talk about Newt running for President...how will his becoming a RC play?
Why are so many the "good conservatives" (or at least the neo-cons/celebrity conservatives) becoming RC?
Bill O'Reilly
Sean Hannity
Laura Ingraham
Alan Keyes
Bill Bennett
etc...

Rush isn't church-going to the best of my knowledge. And most of the rest of the lot is RC.

Pastor, by FAR the majority of those pundits are Jewish, not RC. For better or for worse, if you want confessional, orthodox leaders you have to look outside both main parties.
Really? I guess I'm just thinking of the folks on the radio. I know Prager and Medved are Jewish. What others are?

They're welcome to him. If the conservative movement can't get alone without someone who had an affair with his secretary like Newt, a **** writer like O'Reilly or a gambler like Bennett then the conservative movement can go RC with my blessing.

When it comes to neocon pundits, it's easier to name those who aren't. When you spend a little time looking at the modern conservative movement, with it's foriegn and domestic goals, you start seeing a common thread, and it's pushed by Savage, Krystol, Krauthammer, Perle, Murdoch, Friedman, Pipes, Frum, Horowitz, Feith, Miller, and the list goes on as long as you want to make it.
Really? I've been a gambler and not had a sterling heart of purity.

Humanly speaking RCism is more appealing. Many are bone ignorant about historical Reformation theology. Many intellectuals (or people who want to be thought of as smart), are turned off by what they perceive as Protestantism. The Left often bags on the Pope and the RCC, so there is probably something spiteful there in return.

And while you were spending hundreds of thousands of your family money on the habit did you write a book about Virtue? And push the book every chance you got?

My question was more along the lines of why we don't have solid (Reformed?) Protestants as conservative pundits.
Deuteronomy 16:18 "You shall appoint for yourself judges and officers in all your towns which the LORD your God is giving you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.
Proverbs 31:23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

Never underestimate the power of ceremony, ritual and pageantry on the human psyche--particularly the conservative mindset. A movement that seeks to be rooted in the unchanging, the historic, the eternal principles of God-ordained laws will always be drawn to these substitutes. When one has not rooted themselves in the joys of Scripture and yet holds to the conservative worldview, then one is more likely I believe to be drawn to ritualistic Roman forms or Orthodoxy. It's also why many past conservatives were Tories at heart--Monarchist.
So, we're a minority of a minority--Reformed AND conservative. To me, that's a good place to be!
