George Will Is Right
You'll notice two things about that headline. First, that it's not something you'd expect to read here. Second, it has (which hopefully is obvious) a double meaning.
George Will is a right-wing columnist. I rarely agree with anyone representing the right-wing, least of all George Will. That said, these days we are forced to watch as religious zealots have hijacked (much like their Muslim counterparts on airplanes) the GOP. The true conservatives are left out in the cold (or...and perhaps more accurately...the flaming fires of Hell).
Will's latest column in the Washington Post should send a message to those who are genuine conservatives. It's a warning taken from the November 8 election results in Dover, Pennsylvania.
Will includes a quote from one of our founding fathers that is very appropriate in today's political climate: "It does me no injury," said Thomas Jefferson, "for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." But it is injurious, and unneighborly, when zealots try to compel public education to infuse theism into scientific education."
Amen, Brother Will. Amen.
