Yep! That was a bold quote... but I though there were several in that piece that were interesting. Such as this one (amusing to see the old Neo-Con so worked up!): Charles Krauthammer is wringing his hands about an "overdose of public piety," "scriptural literalism," and how the 2008 campaign is "knee-deep in religion." Or describing Stephen Hayes at the Standard quote "scoffing at the Golden Rule? What's next, attacking the Boy Scout Oath?" Or Peggy Noonan (in the Journal) fretting that the Republican Party of today wouldn't like Ronald Reagan much now that "faith has been heightened as a determining factor in how to vote...." Or Steve Benen writing at TPM, "The Republican Party's religious right base is supposed to be seen, not heard. Candidates are supposed to pander to this crowd, not actually come from this crowd." (They want their base to be a kind of electoral cicada: wake up every four years, vote, and then go underground and shut-up.) --------- I haven't heard consternation and back-biting this loud (or organized <G>) since the Allen Presidential campaign left us....
