The left has been pushing this meme non-stop since the early 80’s with the emergence of the Christian Moral Majority.

A veteran Republican???
A veteran Republican whom they refuse to name. Why? What did they do? Dig up Jacob Javits?

And to promote his book, this good Republic soldier is going to the likes of Salon.
BTW, I am not sure why someone’s belief about dinosaur footprints should make a difference in a discussion about deficit spending, the role of government or even cultural morality issues. Maybe these types of pubbies can’t think clearly when they are too busy sneering.

“....all three of the GOPs main tenets: wealth worship, war worship, and the permanent culture war.”
No agenda by the writer. Nope, none at all. /s

From the Amazon listing of his book:
Mike Lofgren spent twenty-eight years working in Congress, the last sixteen as a senior analyst on the House and Senate Budget committees, which gave him ringside seats on TARP, Hurricane Katrina disaster relief, debates on the Pentagon budget and the amazing antics of various deficitreduction commissions. He holds two degrees in history and received a Fulbright scholarship. He lives in Washington, D.C.
That explains a lot....

All around us now is a prevailing anti-intellectualism and hostility to science. Politicized religion is the sheet anchor of the dreary forty-year-old culture wars
What a load of crap. Look around FR and you'll see plenty of us religious FReepers as true lovers of science and discovery.

A veteran Republican says the religious right has taken over, and turned his party into anti-intellectual nuts"Thank you for agreeing to be interviewed this afternoon, Senator McCain."

So we don’t get to know the name of this supposedly real-life, veteran Republican? Is this another Harry Reid propaganda action?

IMO the lack of religion is destroying the country.
Morality has become almost none existent and Democrats are actually thinking of putting a Gay plank in their platform.
It isn’t religion that is destroying the Republican party it is people who are sup[posed Republicans but in actuality are Democrats. Much like the Dildo who wrote this scribe.
