The partisan fusion of politics with religion in this campaign is poisoning an already toxic cultural atmosphere. God help us if it makes its way on to the altar itself.

(Note to self. Keep in mind this guy is a queer and has no business telling me about religion or culture.)

"Not so long ago, observant Christians could be found across the political arena: the Democrats were the natural home for Catholics (as well as a hefty proportion of conservative Southerners); the Republicans drew strength from mainstream Protestant denominations. Nobody dreamt of one party representing religious devotion and the other becoming the home for secularists and more easy-going faith seekers"

Until the DemonRat party decided to embrace child buggerers, athiests, traitors, radical feminists, pro- abortion fanatics, and philanderers.

"Virginia recently passed a law invalidating even private contracts between two people of the same sex...."

He must certainly be ill describing this, how on earth could you pass such a law as it is described in this sentance.

" . . .a perpetual churning of spiritual frenzy"

Oh baloney.

Now if he had said "a perpetual state of Marxist frenzy "then he would have described the blue counties pretty well.

" ... If you are a person of faith, as I am ... "

Andrew Sullivan is a man of faith?

This ex-editor of The New Republic, and writer for the NY Slimes (fired by both) is an intellectual?

I think being HIV positive has gone into his brain.

RIP Mr. / Ms Sullivan.

Democrats were the natural home for Catholics

That is only true of recent history. Catholics were not Democrats in the 1800s.

Try as he might, Andrew Sullivan has an incredibly shallow understanding of our culture. And why is it that he is so distrustful of Republican outreach to Christians but silent on the Democrats who actually campaign in black churches or clutch their bibles in political photo ops?

Indeed the perfect question; one that should be posed as often as possible.

And watch the left pick up that new book by Anonymous, and spin away that Bin Laden WANTS GWB re-elected in order to start a Holy war- Christianity vs. Islam.

Liberals are so damn predictable!

Some bishops have even said that communion should not be given to lay Catholics who vote for such politicians — ruling out a whole swathe of the Democratic party from the Catholic Church.

And how on earth, Mr. Sullivan, would they do this? How would any bishop or priest know who someone voted for? This is beyond silly.

he got an annulment from his first wife rather than a divorce

While Kerry applied for an annulment there is no record that he received one, Andrew. His marriage to the Mozambique Betty: self described African-American, was a civil one not a sacramental one performed in the Church. Check your daily cocktail dosage, Sully.

Drudge is a queer? How do you know this? Is that first hand knowledge?

Repent Andrew, it's not too late. Repent for choosing to mock one of Gods' greatest gift to mankind, the natural love between a man and a woman.

There is long term calculation in all this. It now appears that because AS could not persuade the right to go along with his desire to marry his boyfriend [ughhhh!], this is basis for him to distort all of awa's record and fight against terror.

So, in reality, he becomes part of the anonymous article out simultaneously as this London Times piece.

The thing is to look at the twisting and distorting of the facts and the record, when Sullivan is on the polemical warpath. From reading his blog, it is clear that he knows beter than the various "hits" and slurs in this article, but he feels empowered to lie like this in furtherance of his wacky hope to legitimize homosexual "marriage".

I really am amazed at how craven a person like Sullivan can be. This "gayness" issue consumes his entire mind.

Andrew Sullivan has finally jumped the shark.

The issue of same-sex marriage has become a litmus test for Sullivan. If you are agin it you are no different than the gay-bashers that beat Matthew Sheppard to death. You *are* a homophobe.

Feh. I believe that SSM is one more nail in the coffin of marriage as an institution. I also believe that the narcissism implicit in the "Sex in the City" lifestyle is another nail, and that celebrity serial marriages are another. If affirming this belief makes me a homophobe, I'll wear that label. By acting the the sterotype of a gay drama queen Sullivan is affirming every dark stereotype of gays and setting gays back 10 years.
