Mark D. Tooley, president of The Institute on Religion and Democracy, wrote an article today, "Al-Quedo Terrorists=The Prophet Jeremiah?" which describes the ebullience of the Rev. Jim Wallis and the Sojourner's crowd over Obama's left-wing takeover of the United States. As Tooley describes it,
And an extremist agenda it is. Speakers at the rally equated themselves with the Biblical prophets, al-Qaeda terrorists to the Prophet Jeremiah, capitalist "greed" with the Soviet gulags, and conservative Christians with the Antichrist. [more . .]
Me: Wallis has been a hard-left guy since the 60s. Socialism and anti-Americanism have continually dominated his thinking. His accusations against the "Christian Right" ring partisan and hollow given his hard left ideological commitments. Don't ever think he is some sort of "Christian uniter." He is anything but.
Update 6/1/09 - Peter Wehner offers a "must-read evaluation" of Jim Wallis and his rhetoric for anyone wishing to get their bearings on Jim Wallis.
