Richard John Neuhaus: "...For the first time in years, the media
have not been going on about the dangerous "religious right." Perhaps
because the assumption is that [you know who] embodies the danger.
Newsweek ran a long cover story on his faith, revealing, inter alia,
his creepy habit of getting up early in the morning to pray and read
the Bible. The story was accompanied by a column that condescendingly
chided [you know who] for his "God talk" and helpfully reminded him
that "self-examination and repentant action are critical components
of any faith." .. Among many protesting U.S. policy, including the
religiously credentialed, the theme that [you know who] is a
religious fanatic who thinks he has a monopoly on knowing God's
purposes vied with the warning that he is a Texas cowboy set upon
proving his manhood, regardless of the consequences for others.

"...I pointed out that the record of the U.S. in combating tyranny,
defending freedom, providing humanitarian aid, motoring economic
development, and securing a modicum of world order compares very
favorably with the record of, for instance, Germany, France, Russia,
or Italy. Yes, it was said in response, but you can't expect
Europeans to be grateful forever for what the U.S. did in two World
Wars and the Cold War. In effect: What have you done for us lately? ...

"...Christian America before the Civil War was in many ways two

theology or moral argument but by an unspeakably bloody resort to
arms, thereby discrediting, in the eyes of many, the idea of
Christian America. ... More:
