Porter has maintained that Obama represents an "inhumane, sick, and sinister evil," and she has warned that Democrats want to throw Christians in jail merely for practicing their faith. She's attributed Haiti's high poverty rate to the fact that the country is "dedicated to Satan," and she suggested that gay marriage caused Noah's Flood.

None of this detracts from the fact that hybrid Christian Zionist evangelicals have more influence on the political class than hard core prog-leftists, but that could be designed by that class as well.
