They left blame the EC because it's an easy fall back target for them to attack
What the left don't want to admit is ....

But, but, but, we are supposed to honor diversity of thought and not practice any type or religious intolerance. < /sarc > Oh my the libs must be getting for a mental breakdown.
Ah yes....the inherent hypocrisy of liberalism.
Liberals lovedemocracy until the majority of people support ideas contrary to their own.
Liberals love tolerance unless it involves their tolerating dissent.
Liberals love religion so long as it isn't a convicted faith that actually governs one's life.
I've had many people claim that their opposition to Bush lies in his scary admission that his faith plays a role in his everyday decisions. But do these same people hold themselves to the same standard and realize that many christians are frightened by politicians who base their decisions on humanistic, atheistic, agnostic philosophy?
We all have personal belief systems that govern, to some extent, our decisions and actions. So long as those decisions do not violate the liberties of others or violate existing law, there should be no prejudice against such a person.
How funny that more than half of the country is comfortable with Bush's faith, yet these liberals cannot stand the democratic outcome that illustrates this.
A brief reading of those excerpts shows that those who decry religious people as ignorant, blind sheep are actually the dangerous folks themselves. It is they who are intolerant....it is they who are incapable of logic and reason......it is they who would seek to infringe over others they see as inferior to themselves.
When empowerment is founded upon hate and lies (as current liberalism driving the democrat party surely is), ANY defeat of that empowerment scheme results in bitterness, inwardly. These people are clearly embittered but unable to achieve consciousness of their root problem. As with children throwing a fit on the floor of your home, they cannot be indulged while in their 'tantrum' stage.
Here's a bio on the author of the Slate piece, Jane Smiley (circa 2000).
"Jane Smiley turned fifty just in time for the new millennium. She lives in California with her three children, three dogs, and her sixteen (and counting) horses.
Born in Los Angeles, California, Jane moved to the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri, as an infant, and lived there through grammar school and high school (The John Burroughs School). After getting her BA at Vassar College in 1971, she traveled in Europe for a year, working on an archeological dig and sight-seeing, then returned to Iowa for graduate school at the University of Iowa.
MFA and Ph.D. in hand, she went to work in 1981 at Iowa State University, in Ames, where she taught until 1996.
She has been married three times -- to John Whiston (1970-1975), William Silag (1978-1986), and Stephen M. Mortensen (1987-1997). She has two daughters, Phoebe Silag (1978), Lucy Silag (1982) and one son, AJ Mortensen (1992).
Jane is the author of ten works of fiction, including The Age of Grief, The Greenlanders, Ordinary Love and Good Will, A Thousand Acres, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1992 and Moo, as well as many essays for such magazines as Vogue, The New Yorker, Practical Horseman, Harper's, the New York Times Magazine and the New York Times travel section, Victoria, Mirabella, Allure, The Nation and others. She has written on politics, farming, horse training, child-rearing, literature, impulse buying, getting dressed, Barbie, marriage, and many other topics. She is also the author, from Crown, of a book on craftspeople living in the Catskills. Her new novel Horse Heaven is being published in April 2000.
She is now at work on a novel about sex set in Hollywood."
A real role model if ever I saw one. Remind me to ponder whether Jesus or Jane should be the one for my kids to emulate (NOT!).
Pathetic. The good thing is that we've got things to do over the next four years. They've got only endless handwringing, name-calling, and angst.
I might suggest the author have a "light read" of Chemnitz's Loci Theologici - yea Christans can't think critically. If only the pinheads today could think half as clear!
"In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." - John 16:33
Take joy in our persecution.
I wish it were so HarleyD. An evangelical is one who lives his/her life according to scripture. I don't see too many of those in church now-a-days. Mostly I see CINOs (christian in name only) - live like hell on Saturday but go to church on Sunday. If evangelicals were in great number the difference would be so dramatic that the Federal government would probably send in tanks like they did at WACO.
I think this vote represented the silent secular moral majority who voted out of fear of what might happen if Kerry was elected.
Yes this is answered prayer! After we thank our Lord for this victory we must follow Romans 13:1-7.
Ping for later
Nice map..bump to save.
Unfortunately I think there's much truth in what you say.
then THIS JEW is a Christian,no we are Americans!!
Yup, that time is indeed coming, although it won't be done by election and there's utterly nothing that writer or any other human can do to stop it.
I need to pray harder to feel pity for these people instead of loathing. That's an area I admittedly have a problem with, and it's wrong. Yes, they're venomous and hateful, but the Bible told us this was coming, told us they wouldn't listen, told us they would laugh and mock and spite. It's really not that much for us to have to tolerate, given the big picture. I've read the end of the story. We win, and that's an abject guarantee.

Great resource - a map of religion, and down to the county level even! Strange, and troubling, that there's so much overlap between this map and the electoral one.
