Obama Seen as More Friendly Than His Party
Hollywood, the Media, and Scientists Seen as More Unfriendly Toward Religion
The results are in, folks! The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life has spoken, and it’s no surprise: The “Party of No” excels at supporting the mindset of the blindly-following faithful.
Congratulations.
But the Pew leaves one question, perhaps the most important, and most obvious, open:
What, exactly, does “friendly toward religion” mean?
Because if it means, allowing a self-deluded, out-of-touch, out-of-date, homophobic, hate-mongering, war-mongering, patriarchy to dictate its beliefs to society and to politicize Church doctrine, and “religicize” politics, then, well, I guess being friendly to religion would be a bad thing, no?
Add to the first question, this one: “friendly toward which religion?”
After all, let’s not forget which party essentially “owns” C Street, that reprehensible conclave of “The Family.” And while we’re on the subject, let’s just put some names on that list:
Senator John Ensign
South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford
Congressman Chip Pickering
(All of whom have had well-publicized marital issues.)
Also rumored to be members of The Family, Senators Norm Coleman and Mark Pryor, Sam Brownback, Tom Coburn, James Inhofe, and Susan Collins.
