We also have people at the extreme end of the spectrums who are not going to stop pushing their peculair agenda. Some receive funding from the US, it's no different in the UK, Australia or other english speaking countries. These groups are fundamentalist, willing to use their money to push their views and we are well served to remain aware of them. I don't object to any qualified evangelical in office. I object to a fundamentalist buying or pushing his (and they are usually male) into power, being covert, and not giving a damn about the necessary mechanisms required to govern in a pluralistic society. They are individuals. We can call them out for what they are. We can call out the groups that fund them. But in all good faith I cannot tar everyone of faith with that brush.
