And better than ever. Here's a tidbit to get us started in the new year:
A couple of weeks ago, Maureen Dowd wrote in her NY Times column about Mitt Romney. She consulted an expert on, and historian of, Mormonism, a man by the name of Jon Krakauer. Naturally Krakauer told Ms. Dowd just what she wanted to hear concerning Romney's recent speech on his religion and his presidency: “J.F.K.’s speech was to reassure Americans that he wasn’t a religious fanatic,” Mr. Krakauer agreed. “Mitt’s was to tell evangelical Christians, ‘I’m a religious fanatic just like you.’”
So evangelical Christians are fanatics?
Funny--do we ever hear, from mainstream "experts" and media types, that, say, atheists are fanatics? That liberals are fanatics? (perish the thought!)
Fundamental: being religious doesn't make you a fanatic. But the fact that many in the "progressive" Washington/New York beltway think it does tells you a lot about them.
