Is This The New Face of American Evangelicalism?

What do you think of this?  Agree or disagree (I have some concerns) this is probably something that needs to be thought through.  I am sensing that the type of Christianity mainly expressed here is becoming more and more popular.  I could be wrong, but this type of discussion seems to imply the old "deeds not creeds" mantra that creates an extremely problematic false dichotomy.  Unfortunately, I didn't hear much about the message of The Gospel.   (RSS, you might need to click through to view.)

This is what Glen Beck (again, I'm not a fan) was referring to when he talked about the "social justice" buzzwords in modern evangelical churches. This stuff is dangerous, and it's creeping in everywhere. This is an effort to advance a liberal political agenda under the auspices of Christianity.

Note that they won't even *verbalize* the evil of abortion, yet simultaneously position "educational inequality" above the death of a million kids per year on the scale of what we should be focused on.

This is quietly building momentum in modern evangelical Christianity, and is staggeringly dangerous.

Hmm, I'm having a hard time viewing, but I think I know what to expect by reading the comment and post.

Those people don't worship the same God that I do.

Can you repost this? I can't find it and even tried the ABC News website.
