Could people be seeing that the Christian right is not very Christian?

It is the theme song of Titanic, a favorite movie of the children's, and their most poignant artifact of love after death...
...former public affairs aide (now retired), who was the first to come forward and who testified that McKinney propositioned her in her hotel room during a 1996 Army trip to Hawaii, shook her head in disgust.
