Entry: Bill Donohue Is Right About the Huckster Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/bill_donohue_is_right_about_the_huckster#12041 Post contents: Huckabee's passive-aggressive use of the religion card has Rove written all over it...if not actually then at least by studied imitation. Face it folks, the Former Republic experiences these kinds of giddy lapses into Religion and Government on a regular basis. The 1820's, 1910-30's and now. Every time they occur, they leave behind a kind of 1-2 punch where crime gets a windfall from their utopian agenda and government is left with a mindset whose closest equivalent is a battered wife. The real thigh slapper is to think of all the righteous in Washington, pandering away while insuring that everything they do in response to the requests of special interests will ultimately make the faithful squirm in pain. EVERYTHING. Prohibition left behind a vicious and durable organized crime which still haunts us. With the "Intelligent Design" wing of today, perhaps criminal stupidity will be whats left. Popular Religion will busy itself by reliably mortifying it's flesh over the bankrupt tyranny they willingly obliged. Listening to Huckabee say he does not pander to religion reminds me of that old routine where a fresh convict sits down at the cafeteria table for his first dinner in jail and claims his innocence while everybody laughs. Religion and Government will rue the day they engaged in a relapse of this disease ....a self-inflicted disease that tarnishes both. Sent at: 2008 09 08
