My mistake regarding Lindy Bill. As I remembered he is a devout Catholic. I guess my memory failed me. But he did say to me he found liberals on his thread don't work out. Right/left: As posted to epicure, my response to the left right debate would be to point out that people generally move right to left, but not left to right. We can see this clearly among people who get educted, throughout history, the world, and especially in college. Kids who enter college usually leave much more liberal than when they enter and few leave more conservative. The reason is clear. Myth *faith) cannot stand up to facts, and script (primitive culture) cannot stand up to logic. And facts and logic are what colleges teach, so as one learns the facts and logic they quite often change. Ask any kid who went through college if it changed them a lot and most will say, a lot. Santorum said kids who go to college with faith often leave it without faith. That was one of his primary reasons for dising college. People who go to college without faith leave college without faith.
