i didn’t want to try to cram in too much detail & every citation, but i don’t think this is an article from a looney left wing basement.   it’s identified so anyone can get a look at it.  These authors are senior professors from Notre Dame and Harvard, and what they had to say was gathered from multiple research sources over many years…     it’s more than just a slam of the Tea Party, i thought it raised questions of the way Politics and Religion interact in our culture…. And how voters react when the two get married.

To what extent do you think religion should become politicized?   Do you think the strong presence of an evangelical right wing is a good thing for the Republican Party because it pulls them in the right direction, or do you think that this is becoming a problem for the GOP? 

4691: ‘Fiscal insanity’ does upset me…. i’m as concerned as anyone here about what happens to us, but it doesn’t cause me to lie.  Maybe we just see things differently.
