By: Thomas S. Kidd – wsj.com – January 11, 2024 The adulteration of a theological term into a secular political and demographic label. But who exactly are these evangelicals? It’s difficult to know. Some self-identified evangelical voters don’t even attend church. Many in the media seem to define “evangelicals” as white Republicans who consider themselves religious. Such a definition, in...

Many note that this points to the comparative advantage low-tax places have in attracting businesses and families. Few have noted, however, the possibly...

I don’t typically go where I’m not wanted, but I do tend to go where I’m needed. So I was intrigued by the invitation to attend a globalist sleepaway camp in the beautiful Swiss Alps—some pop-up utopia called Davos.

In 1986, The New York Times described evangelicals as “more easily led than other kinds of voters.” Then in 1993, The Washington Post reported that evangelicals were “largely poor, uneducated and easy to command.” (The Washington Post issued a correction; the Times did not.)
