"Chuck Colson, the man who ordered the Watergate break-in and destroyed a President."

True. But he was tried, convicted, imprisoned, saw the error of his ways, confessed, repented, and embarked on a new life, now living no longer for himself, but for the Lord.

I admire Colson --- very much --- as I admire anyone who has cast his sins down and trampled them underfoot. I hope we would all have the grace to do the same.

"Liberals are shrieking about theocracy at the very moment when religion has never been so much under attack. Theocracy? We already have a state religion: it's called liberalism. Sure, it's a religion that rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, but it still bears all the attributes of a religion. It has its sacraments (abortion), its holy writ (Roe v. Wade), its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal), its clergy (public school teachers), its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free), its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the “absolute moral authority” of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland), and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident). It even has a creation myth: Darwin's theory of evolution." --Review at a conservative book club, pretty much word for word Ann Coulter's Godless.
