That first sentence proclaims, about five ways from Sunday, that George Will is a jerk.

I don't know anything about the medieval church's attempted hijacking of Aristotle, and I'm receptive to the idea that George Will doesn't either.

Allen neglects one argument for her thesis that the United States is a “secular project”: the Constitution mandates the establishment of a political truth by guaranteeing each state the same form of government (“republican”). It does so because the founders thought the most important political truths are knowable. But because they thought religious truths are unknowable, they proscribed the establishment of religion.

I missed this paragraph the first time through. It's intellectually dishonest not to point out that, while the Constitution forbids the establishment of a federal religion, it makes no such rule for the various States, most of which had established religions at the time.

George Will is no conservative.

He is though, quite a pussy in a roomful of sharp elbows called politics.

We need real men like Limbaugh to take back the media from the Socialist propagandists, and George Will is no friend in that fight.

Freepers on the other hand can take on enemy by any means necessary.

FREEPER WARRIORS RULE THE EARTH

George Will went to the dark side a while ago.
