Christiane Amanpour should just go back to her camel hide covered shack wherever she came from and be happy. Actually, Time-Warner should dump the CNN albatross. Ratings continue to fall about as fast as they escalate their libby diatribe. Give it back to Ted Turner and his buffaloes. Jak

(Editor’s note: They would? I’ve never heard anyone make that claim.) It’s on the currency. I make that claim. There are empty spots on government lawns all over the country where replicas of the 10 Commandments have once stood. The ACLU would chip off all the religiously inspired art on state houses (and the Supreme Court Building) all over the country if they thought they could get away with it. That would only be consistent with their arguments against the 10 Commandment monuments.

Conspicuously missing is any reference to the religious left and their (some legitimate, some blatantly illegal) efforts to get their point of view worked into our laws.

I saw most of Amanpour's "God's Christian Warriors" and "God's Jewish Warriors" and they were just as disgusting as the trailers promised. Every leftist interpretation of events is presented as THE TRUTH, with Jimmy Carter and Mearshimer being interviewed as the fountains of wisdom. They are given the softest of softball questions and allowed to discourse at leisure. Opposing them are only the "extremists" who are interviewed five seconds at a time and never allowed to put two sentences together. Mearshimer and Saint Jimmah are allowed lots of time to back each other up, such as when Mearshimer helpfully says that Carter's book was criticised because he dared to speak against AIPAC, so the forces of AIPAC slimed him. Naturally, Dennis Ross or Richard Holbrook or any other Democratic or Republican foreign policy types never got to voice an opinion. Instead, conservative evangelicals and Jewish radicals (and yup, we heard all about Yigal Amir and Baruch Goldstein, and lots about religious settlers, just as I foretold) are portrayed as sinister forces working hand in hand, and Jimmy Carter got to define fundamentalism as "male hierarchy, rigiditiy, and conservatism" on his way to show that the Southern Baptist Convention's refusal to ordain women was right up there next to the Taliban. There was a general call to arms against conservative evangelicals taking part in politics.
