Religious Peace Left: Puny, Aged & Marginalized?

Journalist Mark I. Pinsky talks about the "state of the religious left":www.fortwayne.com/mld/newssentinel/7644649.htm : bq. Left-wing religious efforts at political mobilization - where they exist - seem puny, aged and marginalized. After decades of riding popular social movements such as civil rights, the left splintered and now seems unable to regroup. Conversely, the GOP has co-opted the support of religious voters by focusing their attention on cultural and lifestyle issues - such as gay marriage. Article found from a link on "The Right Christians":http://www.therightchristians.org/ site, which has more commentary on the subject and a proposal to mimic the Dean Campaign internet organizing to rebuild a progressive Christian left.
