You bastards! It is clear after Obama’s speech that there is nothing he could possibly do to keep you from incessantly harping on his relationship with his pastor. Why is it that not a single intrepid reporter has managed to garner an interview with the controversial Christian? Are you afraid you may have to deal …

Andy, Maybe I’m naive, but the “New Age” stuff doesn’t alarm me all that much. It seems to be just another of those sleazy red flags that get waved to demonize a candidate. This is just my take on things, but all this alarm over religions and philosophies and lifestyles that compete with organized Christianity …

Subject: RE: Reading material Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 14:22:33 -0600 Actually, among non-fundamentalist evangelicals, there is less willful ignorance than we find around here, especially where wacky eschatology isn’t the primary form of ecclesiastical entertainment. I heard someone this morning (in our men’s group) mention that he hoped to be on the first trip …

I had hoped, in part because he seemed like a nice-enough guy, that Mike Huckabee would not descend to the level of pandering epitomized by the other Republican candidates. There were warning signs last fall, when he revealed he was getting up to speed on Middle East issues by reading books written by far-right messianic …

I like Barak more for what his election would say to the world and about us as Americans, than for his positions or his personality. I think Arun Ghandi stated something similar. I have seen Mrs. Bill Clinton (really, that’s her only credential, isn’t it?) operate for many years, and am unimpressed. The victimized female …

Gov. Huckabee, Apparently, you said something about Iranians facing the gates of Hell during your debate last night. I know you were being picked on last night, but when you fall into the trap of feeling like you have to emote the same neocon bravado as the establishment candidates, it reminds me that your foreign policy …

Apologies all, for plagiarizing some of your earlier thoughts (ie, who would Jesus waterboard?), but I could not let last Sunday’s profoundly ignorant editorial re. Barak Obama go unchallenged. I just sent in a lengthy response (below and partly cannibalized from earlier posts) and we’ll see if this one gets printed… Here’s the letter that …
