I don't care who you are, now that's funny.

Don't watch many movies. Pretty much the entire industry is far left, and their bias is apparent in many productions. Even if the show isn't biased, I've no interest in propping up the socialist state of California with my entertainment dollars. I much prefer activities that support middle class jobs in the heartland. You know- drinking, fishing, hunting.

It's too complicated, you have to think a little, and there is no violence or flagwaiving involved. So, a wingnuts attention span expires about 3 minutes in.

Nope. Carter himself was a Baptist, but he didn't actively seek the support of Robertson, Falwell, et al.

Leaders of the New Christian Right coalesced around the candidacy of Ronald Reagan. Reagan alone embraced the political efforts of the NCR and pledged to work for enactment of its agenda (see chaps. 5-7 in T. Baker, Steed, and Moreland 1983). He won by impressive margins and Republicans, with a clearly conservation platform, took control of the Senate for the first time in over twenty years. Although some scholars (Zwier 1982) cautioned against drawing such conclusions, the New Christian Right was credited with securing those victories as well as with successfully influencing the nation's political agenda (Moen 1994, 164).

Jerry Falwell : "The Moral Majority backs the presidential candidacy of
Ronald Reagan and helps sweep him into office in dramatic
fashion."

What? You think the Christian right wasn't tired of stag-flation and sky-rocketing misery indexes too?
