Kathleen Parker: Oogedy-Boogedy

‘How about social conservatives make their arguments without bringing God into it? By all means, let faith inform one’s values, but let reason inform one’s public arguments.’

‘That was and remains my point. It isn’t so much God causing the GOP problems; it’s his fan club.’

‘As long as the religious right is seen as controlling the Republican party, the GOP will continue to lose some percentage of voters, and that percentage likely will increase over time as younger voters shift away from traditional to more progressive values.’
