Obama, Tea Parties & God

I was once an extremists for conservative values. I committed grave acts of political idolatry, engaged in divisive rhetoric, and pledged allegiance to a flag over my faith. Not until running for Governor of Texas were my eyes opened to the damage and destructiveness of my political idolatry. As a Christian I want to confess the lessons I learned along the way and the corrections I received regarding Obama, the Tea Party, and God. We are not in a political battle. America is deeply engaged in a spiritual battle. While extremists on both sides trade divisive rhetoric and set up borders, we are losing the heart and minds of our people. Only love is powerful enough to overcome this enemy. Until we become "extremists" for love, we will continue to lose.
