Indeed, to attempt to acknowledge the deceased without invoking the deity would have sounded very weird,

Won't stop the secularists, though! Oh, well, they can always fall back on the "death is a part of life" theme, which always sounds ponderous, if not noticeably comforting.

Chesterton made fun of "free thinkers'" attempts to rewrite Christian hymns for a "humanist" society (late 19th, early 20th century?) -- he notes especially "Nearer, Mankind, to Thee," which he said always makes him think of straphangers in the afternoon crush!

What is even more ludicrous is the recent "discovery" by the lefties that that the supposedly arch-Christian admin is just using the evangelicals for political purposes. If that's the case, then that would by logic make the admin anti-evangelical. So lefties which is it: is the admin just a bunch of Jesus-freaks, or are they cynical manipulators? They can't be both.

A further mark of the decline of American civilisation is the fact that we give national speaking platforms to the likes of Grossie O'Dumbnal.

The only way I could tune into her show would be a patent guarantee that a group of burly people would denude her, roll her in tar and then feathers, and run her straight to perdition on a splintery cedar rail.

"Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam?"

The only response O'Donnell's inane remark deserves is my tagline.

Liberalism is her religion - see Savage for more. Her morality is in question, and she being a liberal, one who knows so much about so little, believes she would be safer if she were to deflect, and bring xtianity into the forefront of her argument.

Liberals operate under the presumption that if they support radical islamists they will ultimately be spared.

You almost get the feeling crazy leftists are actually surprised when they've got a knife to their throat and some lunatic is standing behind them yelling "Allahu Akbar!"
