Ten Commandments
By I feel a certain sympathy with Matt and Kevin on this issue. Although I’m not religious, I don’t really give a damn about displays of the Ten Commandments, nativity scenes, and what not.
But, hey, tolerance only gets us so far. I can’t remember what I was doing on the day that John Kerry made that powerful speech against the Ten Commandments in public life; in fact, I can’t remember that day at all. I think I was out with the flu during the week that Howard Dean was launching a full-scale assault against nativity scenes; didn’t he scream, or something? I can’t put my finger on any actual memories of John Edwards pandering to the powerful atheist lobby, but it’s possible I was on heavy drugs during that period.
Nonetheless, I hold that Matt and Kevin are correct, and agree that the Democratic Party will not find success until it gives up its fierce, take-no-prisoners assault on Christianity and religion in public life.
