But now, all the pretense of any “moral” majority and “moral” authority has vanished into the very impulses that fed it: Tribal racial/ethnic anxiety, panic and hostility, patriarchy and sexism, and a perceived threat presented by the full acceptance and inclusion of L.G.B.T. identities.

Piety is now postscript. The principal motivation now is anger, fear of cultural displacement, and anxiety about the erosion of privilege and the guarantees it once provided, from physical safety to financial security.
Lecture on Christianity from the New York Times. How many Christians are on their editorial board? My guess is zero.
The only thing Trump and Moore supporters are doing is holding on to what’s normal.
This includes rejecting the new age religion of good is evil and evil good.
Explaining religious conviction and how it shapes one’s worldview is like me explaining calculus to my eight-year-old.
Actually, my eight-year-old is pretty bright...
“In my view Moore is guilty as accused. But 1) it happened 30 years ago, & 2) he can’t be removed from the ballot,
Gee, I wonder what he has to say about the Photographic Evidence showing Senator Al Franken Sexually Assaulting a sleeping woman for sexual gratification.
a 10-20 Year Sentence in Prison upon Conviction.
What a load of drek.
Lectures on how stupid “religious” Republicans from this hyperbolically pious dork who is much more orthodox and closed minded than any Christian.
The Communists stood side by side when all the women came forward and accused Bill Clinton of rape. Every one of them was destroyed.
I learned my lesson well from them.
They post this story every few years.
They we’re literally saying the same thing in the 80s.
It’s all a lie to snooker young voters.
Stopped reading right there. Fellatiate Chuck has no moral standing to criticize anything.
NYT = Not Yielding to Truth
Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.
Why post this OP-ED b/s ("opinion as news") from a known Lying Leftist outlet other than demoralize the readers? We should be mostly publishing the truth on FR, not the lies, and as much good news as possible to bolster morale. We should find and post reasonably reliable sources that have already deconstructed the lie and replaced it with the truth and with a headline that says the truth. At least get the story from a relatively reliable source, not from a known Lying Leftist operative posing as a “news” organization.
I voted in that election. I voted for the 3rd party candidate John Anderson. Why did I do so? Because I was a dumbass who didn’t know squat about politics (but I didn’t know that then). As the years passed, I smartened up some and now view Reagan as one of the great Presidents. Too bad Charles Blow is still the same dumbass he was in 1980.
What this writer needs to learn is that personal intent resides in the person. In other words, if Judge Moore didn’t assault anyone forty years ago, then that truth can’t be changed.
No matter how many people try to talk it into being a reality.
Funny thing is, the left never said we were pious. We were always branded fear and hate monsters.
This writer is lying.
There are certain things I don’t bother with....The New York Times is one!!!!
When a person starts to tell you about their political beliefs and they mention sorrow at Reagan beating Carter in 1980, just stop them.
You already know all you need to.
Just say, “Oh yeah, I know.”, and change the subject as fast as you can.
Tell them you once saved a dolphin. That should do the trick.
>>I have lived my whole life with a Republican Party with which I disagreed, but at least understood.
I’ve only understood Democrats for about 15 years when I discovered the 100 year history of Progressivism. He expects us to be unchanging, but he won’t even publicly acknowledge the true goals of his ideology.
Charles Blow is an affirmative action Big House hand kept on by the slimes for his color not his non-existent mind. He graduated from Grambling a school that does not even show up on any list of schools with accreditation. They are another fake Negro College Fund school.
Hey Blow! Your party denied G-d three times at your 2012 DNC convention in Charlotte.
Going to suck to be you.
I crack me up.

Charles Blow is one of the worst left-wing writers in America (and that is saying a lot).
“I didn’t know much about politics or party platforms.”
Guess what, Token Columnist . . . you still don’t
Charles M. Blow is such a tool.
