I don't see where this collumn makes a connection between the beliefs of the religious right and the President's policies. Find me one in the article. The body of the collumn seems to attack anti-terrorist initiatives such as homeland security, the patriot act, etc from a "abridgement of constitutional freedoms" angle and not from a religious angle. Its like saying "I am a football fan and I oppose the President's anti-gun control policies". Yeah, you are one and you oppose the other but whats the connection. This guy didn't make one.
The closest he comes to that is that whoever the Religious Right is, they tended to vote more for Bush. But so did white males and veterans. He might as well have written the story about why veterans scare him.
