In touch with whom?

Professionally I associate primarily with Republicans and one of my conservative southern Baptist friends has introduced me to something called the In Touch Ministry led by Charles F. Stanley. This month's magazine contains the election speech Bush would like to have given but couldn't. Apparently In Touch touches millions of people worlwide primarily by radio with annual revenues of 60 million dollars. This is an excerpt from an article titled "America at the Crossroads - Impacting the 21st Century":

"The Bible never encourages Christians to be wishy-washy; we have the responsibility to stand up, speak up, and be strong about our convictions. The issue is not whether we are uncomfortable; all that matters is what pleases God. He wants His people to exhibit honesty, integrity, and faithfulness to Him. So, while we must never be disrespectful or hateful toward individuals, we should be unwavering in our condemnation of anti-Christian philosophies. Some people consider this a social struggle, but in reality, it is a spiritual battle."

I guess it would have been too ridiculous for Republican faithful at the national convention to be shouting "wishy wash" while waving dish rags.
