Why Are Evangelicals Second-Class Conservatives?

This essay by Aaron Renn -- "Evangelicalism's Second-Class Status In Conservatism" -- appeared in American Reformer late last year, but I just got around to it because a friend sent it to me. I encourage you to read it. In it, Renn, a Reformed Christian, laments the undeniable fact that Evangelicals are a huge part of the conservative voting coalition, but punch way below their weight in intellectual leadership circles on the Right.
