Showdown at Saddleback

Perhaps you saw the forum with Rick Warren (The Purpose Driven Life) and the presumptive presidential candidates last Saturday. I watched, and I winced. There's too much emphasis on a candidate's faith in modern politics, and this session set a dangerous precedent. Kathleen Parker, writing on the conservative Townhall.com site, probably ruffled a few feathers of the Republican base with this:

It is also un-American.


And that's just her introduction.
