Note the scary picture.

“A fascinating read” --- Seamus O'Regan, Canada AM
“I really enjoyed Loyal to the Core. It’s a great book”, - Charles Adler, radio host.
"Loyal to the Core should be required reading for anyone considering or starting a career at a conservative think tank or in electoral politics in general …Consider Loyal to the Core a cautionary tale that’s also a funny, easy read – with a few highly “stealable” ideas for media campaigns thrown in for good measure.”- Kathy Shaidle, author Tyranny of Nice
“Every Canadian remotely interested in politics and the state of the country should have a read of Loyal to the Core. – blogger Wendy Sullivan

From my experience the most politically active "Christians" are those on the left of the political spectrum. Most evangelical Christians tend to avoid politics while the UCC, Anglican etc are firmly on the left. You could sit for years in an evangelical church and never hear a political theme while you would be hard pressed to sit through a month in the UCC or Anglican church before you hear a call to political action somewhere.
Actually the bible thumpers vote overwhelmingly conservative, in similar proportion to the way the born again fringe supported Dubya stateside. You're right about the old gaurd protestant denominations - United, Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist - but their numbers aren't significant anymore. The difference in Canada is that fundamentalists don't make up as much of the population as they do in the US
Hilarious, another Ayn Rand groupie, espousing views they don't understand. Ayn Rand was commissioned by Rothschild to write the 'Ilumanist manifesto.' Few have read her work and a lot less understand what she is really saying. Obviously, McKeever is one of them. (real conservative)
I'm sure he would want someone to point out that he's not a libertarian, he is an Objectivist.
Gerry: I missed this posting of yours until today. "Scary picture". Ha! Yes, I suppose, though scariness wasn't my aim: Given the A is Not A nature of the article, the oddly-coloured half of your face is - you guessed it - the inverted/negative image.
Hugh: thank-you. I suppose it's safe to say, alternatively, that I'm a libertarian's Objectivist.
Cheers Gerry/all,
Paul
