Garry Wills is no living will nor a champion of Terri's desire to just live. People also think of him as a conservative, (unthinkingly...)

.................................

Wills never loses sight of contemporary affairs, and readers will have no doubt where his political sympathies lie. The book ends with a long attack on Bush, Karl Rove and their manipulation of religion in the interest of the Republican Party. He finds their use of the Terri Schiavo case particularly offensive, a form of pandering to religious extremists. By contrast he sees Barack Obama as a candidate whose ideas about the use of religion in politics are just right. A lengthy quotation from one of Obama’s speeches seems to affirm Wills’s views about the different roles churches and politicians should play in confronting problems, like AIDS, that have both moral and political dimensions. He ends with the argument that throughout most of the nation’s history, attempts to force particular religious views into political life have been beaten back. He interprets the outcome of the 2006 election as a rebuke to Rove’s theocratic tendencies.

Heck with Huckabee

Slumping GOP candidate Fred Thompson dumped on Mike Huckabee yesterday, saying it was "surprising" the former Arkansas governor didn't know about the new intelligence report on Iran's nuclear weapons program.

The attack comes from a candidate who didn't know anything about the Jena 6 case, was at a loss for words when asked about Terri Schiavo, referred to Russia as the Soviet Union and wrongly insisted he guided Chief Justice John Roberts through the Democrat-controlled Senate - the GOP was in charge at the time.

From post #515:

“By contrast he sees Barack Obama as a candidate whose ideas about the use of religion in politics are just right.”

“Just right” wouldn’t cause Obama to do things like this:

“Obama has spent a scant two years in the Senate but served eight years at the Illinois capitol in Springfield.

During that time, Obama voted AGAINST (emphasis mine) a bill that received national attention and would protect babies born alive after botched abortions.”

I don’t know if it’s Obama’s religion, or if he doesn’t follow his religion, but Obama voted for evil, and even an extremely ignorant person can see that a born-alive baby is not a “glob of tissue.”

Germany moves to ban scientology. If they succeed, their members are likely headed to Clearwater (right next to Judge Greer's courthouse).
