For you to accuse me of playing verbal games is astonishing. You are Clintonesque in your word- and phrase- morphing approach to argument. One more time. This is the last time. Trying to get you to acknowledge something is like trying to hug jello. It is Olasky's prospective ethical advice to the president as it impacts social policy, foreign policy, education policy, health policy, etc, that concerns me, as [here I go again!] I have no concrete idea what his ethical advice on such matters might result in, other, possibly (I believe I've read this), than an ethically-based urging to turn welfare over to the churches. About creationism, I would have to conjecture. I really am telling you the literal, absolute truth when I say I have no idea what Olasky's foreign policy views have been, or his views on education, or health policy, or many other social issues. And I have NOT DISCUSSED THEM, because I haven't researched them. All I do know is that he seems like a nice man. But he believes that ethics should be taken out of a literal interpretation of the Bible. And this concerns me. That is what I have said. Your continued ejaculations that my concern is "his social policies" are premature, to say the least. It is possible, though, that that if Biblical Inerrancy In Action becomes the characterization of Bush administration policy in the same way that The New Deal was the characterization of FDR's, and The New Frontier of Kennedy's, and The Great Society of Johnson's, I'll come up with some comment on "Olasky's social policies."
