Aha!

I have long thought that God is not a right-wing zealot... and it turns out others agree. Hurrah for the religious left. This article from Salon.com is about the Rev. Albert Pennybacker is "a Bible Belt preacher with a drawl who's urging people to support 'basic religious values.'"

"It's 'wake-up time' for religious liberals and moderates disenchanted with the current White House, Pennybacker tells Salon. He sees a historic moment for progressive religious leaders in the tradition of liberal clergy who led protests during the civil rights and Vietnam War eras. 'One of the gifts of the present administration is the summons -- or call to arms -- for progressive religious people,' he said in a recent interview. "
