My guess is they didn't get much past the great title of the post. These reporters just look for proof for their opinions, and they know their readers won't really dig much further than whatever label they throw on someone. But congratulations on being noticed! I think there will be more and more attention given to this site in the future, as people realize that its possible to be a Christian and to have a whole other (better!) political perspective than Republi-Con. I’m sure they just took one look at the word “Christian” and thought “Conservative Republican”.

If we are to follow that concept to its logical conclusion, then it was equally acceptable for the Republicans to use fear as a tool to get votes to wage the "war on terror." If not, they probably should denounce fear-mongering from either side and at least be intellectually honest about it, like we are.
