Reformed Churchmen

We are Confessional Calvinists and a Prayer Book Church-people. In 2012, we remembered the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer; also, we remembered the 450th anniversary of John Jewel's sober, scholarly, and Reformed "An Apology of the Church of England." In 2013, we remembered the publication of the "Heidelberg Catechism" and the influence of Reformed theologians in England, including Heinrich Bullinger's Decades. For 2014: Tyndale's NT translation. For 2015, John Roger, Rowland Taylor and Bishop John Hooper's martyrdom, burned at the stakes. Books of the month.

Poll: Americans Disgusted With Political Media

By Rick Pearcey • August 10, 2012, 02:24 PM
 
Andrew Malcolm at Investors Business Daily writes regarding the latest Daily Kos/SEIU State of the Nation Poll:
Republican, Democrat, independent, men, women, whites, Indians, conservatives, rich people, poor people, PhD's, high school dropouts, young and old, overwhelming majorities of each group think the political media stinks.
Consider, for example:
Men and Women: Only "10% of men and women . . . cling to a favorable view of the political media."
Political Affinities: "Fully 91% of Republicans think unkindly of political media, while 78% of independents feel that way and even two-thirds of Democrats (65%) and Liberals (66%) agree, although they are the official party of the political media."
Union/Non-Union: 78% of union household and 77% of non-union households "pretty much agree the political media is insufferable."
These following groups also think the political media are insufferable: "Tea Party members (90%) and American Indians (81%), whites (82%) and conservatives (87%)."

As for "moderates," Malcolm says, "Moderates are, well, more moderate (74%), as are African-Americans (64%) and Asians (64% unfavorable)."
