Really great piece by Fred Barnes. Fred is one of those people who reads better than he sounds. I also get the feeling that over time he has become more of a George Bush fan than he was in the beginning. I would admit, though, that I wasn't paying as much attention to Fred's positions at the start of the Bush presidency, so I could be wrong.

I'm almost certain that Fred considers himself an evangelical Christian, or at least a conservative Christian. I have heard him pretty heatedly defend Christian thought in politics, and get pretty riled up at the liberal, elitist snobbery about Christian conservatism.

Actually, my guess is that Fred is not an evangelical, just a fellow traveller of sorts. Would love to know what church he attends.

Thanks for your comments about Fred, and how he "reads better than he sounds." I was wondering......all this time.........if someone else thought that, or if it was just me. He tries to be "light" on Brit Hume's panel discussions, but he comes off sometimes muddled. On the other hand, Charles Krauthammer sounds as wonderful as he reads. Don't you agree? What an intellect he has, and he has overcome a lot in his life.

You would be correct there. I have a friend in DC who attends the same church Barnes does. Brit Hume too.

Fred made a comment recently on Special Report, I believe it was the day before Thanksgiving. Anyway, he stated that his mother was a great evangelical who had done everything she could to "further the cause" (paraphrasing here).

Your comments are right on, IMHO.
Good thinking!
